There have been reports that Samsung plans to launch two Galaxy Z Fold 6 phones this year. However, a new report now claims that the South Korean firm will launch a cheaper Galaxy Z Flip 6 version this year to improve its sales figures.
Cheaper Galaxy Z Flip 6 to have largely the same cameras as the costlier one
According to a new report from SisaJournal (via @Tech_Reve), Samsung is planning to launch a more affordable version of its Galaxy Z Flip series phone this year. While the device’s name hasn’t been speculated, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that Samsung could name it the Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE.
The upcoming foldable phone could have lower-end/older components than the Galaxy Z Flip 6. According to the report, it will have cheaper display, processor, and battery specifications. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE cameras, though, are expected to be similar to the pricier Galaxy Z Flip 5. So, it will likely feature a 12MP+12MP dual-camera setup, and there have been no major changes in camera components.
Samsung’s foldable smartphone market share has dropped from 66.4% to 60.4%, which is expected to drop further in the second quarter of this year. Samsung is reportedly trying to increase its market share by launching a more affordable foldable phone. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 FE will reportedly be priced at $800.
