Samsung Plans Affordable Galaxy Z Flip and New Foldables for 2025

Highlights

• Samsung is rumoured to release a budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip model in 2025.
• The release will be with the Galaxy S25 Slim and a new variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

Samsung is also set to have its next lineup released in 2025, which means we are getting tons of speculations about what to expect from the brand.

Recently, a report in a Korean online publication suggested that Samsung is planning to release a more budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip model in 2025.

Moreover, the Korean manufacturer will also release versions of the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy Z Fold 7.

This is now being viewed as Samsung’s attempt to boost its popularity in the foldable segment, which isn’t growing as swiftly as the brand initially expected.

According to a report from Lanzuk on Naver, Samsung has plans for three new additions in 2025. These include the Galaxy S25 Slim as was reported last week, a Galaxy Z Flip FE and a new variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

While some may doubt the authenticity of this claim, the claims were supported by tech insiders @Jukanlosreve and Max Jambor on X (previously Twitter). Jambor further noted that there will be at least one new foldable in Samsung’s lineup for 2025.

The Galaxy Z Flip is currently the most affordable foldable from Samsung in the market. However, its price increased to $1,099 with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 release.

Meanwhile, competitors like Motorola have been offering foldables at lower price points such as the Motorola Razr (2024), which costs just $699.

This competitive pricing from other brands could also be the reason Samsung decided to offer a cheaper Galaxy Z Flip option. 

Samsung previously stated it had no plans for a more affordable Galaxy Z Fold model. However, the company later hinted at the possibility of a lower-cost foldable during an earnings call.

Apart from the affordable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip FE, an extra variant of the Galaxy Z Fold is also expected in 2025. While not many details are known as of now, Samsung recently launched a “Special Edition” Fold in Korea and China with a thinner body and larger display compared to the Fold 6. Keeping the recently launched smartphone in mind, we can expect the new variant to feature similar upgrades.
