Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Samsung’s budget flip phone could launch soon

Samsung appears ready to bring foldable tech to a wider audience with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, its new budget-friendly flip phone. A series of leaks and certifications suggest that the device is nearing its official launch, possibly as early as May 23.

What’s in a Name?

While multiple listings have referred to it as the Galaxy Z Flip Xe, the official name could be Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, based on the SM-F761 model number. This model has shown up on several certification platforms, including GSMA and IMEI databases, with support for eSIM functionality.

Global Launch on the Cards

The device is expected to launch globally—India included—and could debut alongside Samsung’s flagship foldables, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the standard Z Flip 7. Interestingly, Samsung might break tradition this year by launching these models earlier than usual, ditching the typical August timeline for a May 23 reveal.

Rumored Specs:

Processor: Exynos 2400e SoC

RAM: 8GB

Storage Options: 128GB and 256GB

Cameras: Dual 12MP rear cameras + 10MP front camera

Main Display: 6.7-inch

Cover Display: 3.4-inch

Battery: 3,700mAh with 25W wired charging

Expected Price

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is rumored to be priced around EUR 1,000, which converts to roughly ₹92,000—making it a more affordable entry point into Samsung’s premium foldable ecosystem.

With certification activity heating up and an expected unveiling just weeks away, Samsung’s budget flip phone could be a game changer for those wanting foldable tech without the premium price tag.
