As for why the rumored Z Flip FE would use an Exynos chipset, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 may be prohibitively expensive to put into a lower-priced foldable device, or it may simply be easier for Samsung to keep up a supply of Exynos chips.

There have been speculations that Samsung is considering releasing a cheaper Galaxy Z Flip as a Fan Edition model. Although not much is known about this potential mid-range foldable, a recent report might have uncovered the chip that will power it.

New information claims that the rumored Galaxy Z Flip FE could end up having the same processor as the Galaxy S24.

The Galaxy Z Flip FE could launch next summer to compete in the more budget-friendly foldable market. Samsung has long marketed its foldables as high-end products with a premium price tag. However, rumors suggest that the company may soon introduce a budget-friendly option,
