Fan Edition Philosophy: The "FE" (Fan Edition) model is designed to offer the core premium foldable experience of the Z Flip series at a more accessible price point, by refining proven technology and focusing on key features fans love.
Large Cover Screen: Expected to inherit the larger and more functional outer Cover Screen (likely around 3.4-3.9 inches) from the flagship Z Flip 6, allowing for better app integration, notifications, and quick replies without opening the phone.
Proven High-Performance Chipset: May be powered by a powerful yet previous-generation flagship chipset like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or a specially selected SoC, providing excellent performance and efficiency while helping to reduce costs.
Ample Storage: The 256GB storage variant (likely using UFS 3.1 or 4.0 technology) provides generous space for apps, photos, and videos, catering to most users' needs.
Dual Camera System: Expected to feature a reliable and capable dual-camera setup, likely a 12MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, focusing on consistent quality and leveraging Samsung's proven camera software and processing.
Durable Hinge & Design: Will utilize a refined and proven hinge mechanism from previous models, ensuring smooth folding and durability. It will likely feature an Armor Aluminum frame and Gorilla Glass Victus+ for protection.
Main Foldable Display: The interior display will be a 6.7-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smooth visuals, but may use a more cost-effective UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) solution.
All-Day Battery: Likely to house a battery capacity similar to the standard Z Flip 6 (e. g. , ~4,000mAh) to ensure all-day usage, supported by 25W fast charging and wireless charging.
Software & AI: Will run on the latest Android OS with One UI and include key Galaxy AI features that don't require the absolute latest hardware, ensuring a modern and intelligent software experience.
IPX8 Rating: Will retain the essential IPX8 water resistance rating, a critical feature for a modern premium phone that is often sacrificed in cheaper foldables, protecting it from accidental submersion.
