Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE: Cancelation rumors, price and what we know

Samsung held its Unpacked event in Paris in July 2024 with a handful of new product reveals announced.

Before the event, rumors were pointing towards the introduction of a new generation of Galaxy foldable, including the first Fan Edition (FE) foldable, named Galaxy Z Flip FE.

FE models are already present in the Galaxy S series of phones and have been for many years. They are designed to be a cheaper alternative to the flagship model but still with a handful of premium features.

Has the Galaxy Z Flip FE been canceled?

After Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked in July 2024 did not see the announcement of a release date for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE there are indications it has been canceled.

Korean news outlet The Elec reported Samsung has canceled the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, after the company had been unable to make it as thin as they wanted. That coupled with “industry uncertainty” has supposedly led Samsung to abandon the project.

There has been no official confirmation the project is canceled but the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip did launch on July 10, 2024, with shipping coming on July 24, 2024.

How much could the Galaxy Z Flip FE cost?

There are currently no indications or official information regarding the cost but rumors have placed the Galaxy Z Flip FE at a cheaper price point to the Z Flip 5 and the upcoming Z Flip 6, which follows the trend for Samsung’s FE series.

To get a rough guide of what we were expecting,  the Z Flip 5 retailed at $1,049 at launch, so we were probably looking at the Z Flip FE coming in at under $1,000. However, the lack of news and the reports from Korea indicate it has been canceled.
