Samsung has introduced its premium Galaxy S24 smartphone series earlier this year, and now there are hints of the upcoming Galaxy Z series foldable smartphones, along with other products like the Galaxy Tab S10 series, Galaxy Watch 7 series, and Galaxy Ring wearables.
Samsung's Latest Developments
Rumors suggest that Samsung is also working on an FE smartphone within the Galaxy S24 lineup, with a new smartphone codenamed R12 in the works. This follows the trend of previous FE models, like S20 FE – R8, S21 FE – R9, and S23 FE – R11. The speculated Galaxy S24 FE could be the successor to the S23 FE.
