After the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold6 and Z Flip6 just a few months ago, Samsung is already looking ahead to the next versions of its foldable phones. New information has emerged regarding the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip FE.
Camera Specs
To start with, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is rumored to come with a 50 MP main camera once again. This news might not thrill fans, as the previous models—Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Fold5, and Z Fold4—all had the same 50 MP sensor, which is the 1/1.56-inch ISOCELL GN3.
Interestingly, recent reports have indicated that the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition features a 200 MP camera that far outperforms the 50 MP camera of the Galaxy Z Fold6. This makes the potential lack of an upgrade in the Z Fold7 quite puzzling, especially since the Z Fold Special Edition is also slimmer than the regular Z Fold6 (buy on Amazon).
Upcoming Budget Model
On a different note, Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip FE next year, which will be a mid-range foldable device. The standard Galaxy Z Flip usually sells better than the Z Fold, likely because it is more budget-friendly. The Galaxy Z Flip FE aims to capitalize on this trend. Rumor has it that this "Fan Edition" foldable will share a similar design to the Galaxy Z Flip7, but with a different chipset.
Given the variations between the Galaxy S24 and S24 FE, it seems a bit hard to believe that the Galaxy Z Flip FE will be just like the Z Flip7 aside from its SoC. Although the Galaxy Z Flip series has never been about showcasing Samsung's top technology, it’s probable that the Galaxy Z Flip FE will have thicker bezels and inferior cameras, in addition to a less powerful chipset. We will keep you posted on any new developments regarding this.
