Samsung is preparing the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE foldable mobile phone for 2025

South Korean manufacturer Samsung is expected to launch the “Fan Edition” version of a foldable smartphone for the first time in 2025. The information comes from Ross Young, an industry professional who often has hot insight into the behind-the-scenes of the market.

According to a post by Young on X, Samsung has a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE next year. The Flip model should be a redesigned version of the clamshell device, but it doesn’t necessarily mean a more accessible device in terms of price.

Those hoping for the Z Flip 7 FE should be excited. It looks like the Samsung FE clamshell model is finally coming in 2025.

There is no official information or other rumors about the model so far. Samsung’s traditional foldable devices are usually introduced in Julyduring The FE version of the Galaxy S series will be released between September and October – if indeed true, an indication of the likely launch window of the new variant.
