Samsung reportedly working on two foldable smartphones

WEB DESK: In the realm of tech speculation, recent whispers have surfaced regarding Samsung’s potential development of a more upscale iteration of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

Alongside these rumors, intriguing screenshots have surfaced from the domain of X (formerly Twitter), hinting at Samsung’s exploration of more affordable iterations of its foldable devices, earmarked under the Fan Edition brand.

However, the credibility of these leaks remains uncertain. Given the source’s somewhat checkered history and the ambiguous nature of the screenshots, it’s prudent not to invest too heavily in their veracity as we delve deeper into the matter.

The images depict purported Samsung foldable models dubbed ‘Galaxy Z Fold FE’ and ‘Galaxy Z Flip FE.’ The latter is said to boast 8GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and potentially a Snapdragon 7-series chip.

Yet, attention is drawn to the Galaxy Z Fold FE, where a certain ambiguity arises.

A closer inspection of the blurred-out screenshot reveals that the device isn’t powered by the anticipated Exynos 2200 or Exynos 2400 chipsets but rather by an unspecified Exynos SoC beginning with “2.”

Speculation abounds whether it could be the purported Exynos 2300 or perhaps an outdated rumor that no longer aligns with Samsung’s current roadmap.

Furthermore, according to an X user citing insider information, only one of these Fan Edition foldable phones is slated for release, although which one remains unclear.

It goes without saying that these screenshots should be approached with caution, and accepting them outright may not be wise.

Nonetheless, they’re not the first indication of Samsung’s potential foray into Fan Edition foldable phones, leaving room for a modicum of belief in their authenticity.

However, certainty remains elusive, and it would be prudent to temper expectations and regard this information with a degree of skepticism.

Samsung’s forthcoming Unpacked event, slated for early July, is expected to shed more light on these developments.
