Samsung is rumored to be expanding its foldable phone lineup by introducing a budget-friendly model, the Galaxy Z Flip FE. This device is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 later this year. While Samsung has not officially confirmed the existence of this phone, recent leaks suggest that it is in development. A model number associated with the device was recently spotted on a Samsung server, lending credibility to these speculations. If the reports are accurate, the Galaxy Z Flip FE will likely feature a Samsung Exynos processor and share the same display as the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Adding weight to these rumors, tipster Erencan Yılmaz recently claimed on X that the Galaxy Z Flip FE appeared on Samsung’s OTA servers under the model number SM-F761. The presence of the letter “F” in the model number suggests it belongs to the foldable category, while the digit “7” indicates its association with the Flip series. Furthermore, the screenshot shared by the tipster shows the suffix “B,” hinting that this particular variant might be designated for European markets.
This isn’t the first time the Galaxy Z Flip FE has surfaced in online databases. Earlier, the same model number, SM-F761B, was found in the GSMA database, strengthening claims of its upcoming release. For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 carries the model number SM-F741, while its predecessor, the Flip 5, is identified as SM-F731. Following this sequence, the anticipated Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be assigned the model number SM-F751.
If Samsung does launch the Galaxy Z Flip FE, it could be a strategic move to make foldable technology more accessible to a broader audience. Premium foldable phones remain relatively expensive, and a budget-friendly option could attract new users who have been hesitant due to high prices. More details about this rumored device are likely to emerge in the coming months, and Samsung’s official confirmation will be crucial in setting expectations for the phone’s features, pricing, and availability.
