A recent report from The Bell suggests that Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy Z Flip FE model may experience delays, sparking concern among fans of the foldable lineup. In addition to this news, there is speculation about a surprising chip that might power the device. Initially, it was expected that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 would be joined by more affordable models this summer, but this latest development throws those expectations into uncertainty. The report indicates that Samsung is currently focusing on developing two chips, the Exynos 2500 and Exynos 2600, but there have been ongoing issues with the development of the Exynos 2500.
This situation led to Samsung reassessing its plans for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which was initially set to launch with this chip. However, it appears that the Galaxy Z Flip FE is being considered as a candidate for the Exynos 2500, despite Samsung’s previous difficulties with its production. As Samsung gears up for the release of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7, which are expected to debut in July or early August, insiders report that there may be conflicting opinions regarding the production strategy for the Exynos 2500. This is leading to speculation that the Flip FE may not launch alongside the flagship devices and could face a delay of several months.
While the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 are stirring interest, there are conflicting reports about potential upgrades. Some suggest that these devices may only offer slight refinements over their predecessors, while others hint at more exciting features. In terms of competition, the Galaxy Z Flip series will primarily face challenges from the Motorola Razr+ and select models from Chinese brands, though its unique folding design remains a significant draw for consumers.
