【Phoneauto News】Recently, Samsung launched the Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 foldable screen smartphones, which attracted a lot of attention from consumers. However, due to their high prices, many consumers hesitated to make a purchase. Now, there is news that Samsung will release a lite version of this series. On August 22nd, Phoneauto learned from foreign media that after considering the release of the Z Flip6 and Z Fold6 next year, Samsung plans to release Fan Edition versions of these two products, which will be more cost-effective.

In addition, media interviewed Drew Blackard, Vice President of Marketing for Samsung Mobile Products, who stated that the starting price of the Z Fold5 is $1799 and the starting price of the Z Flip5 is $999. Compared to other similar products from competing brands, these two foldable phones do not have a price advantage. It is uncertain whether Samsung will release a more cost-effective FE version in the future. Blackard did not give a direct response and stated that Samsung’s current priority is to improve the products and optimize them based on the pain points of foldable phone users.

Blackard also mentioned that Samsung’s primary task is to make foldable phone products well and continuously improve them to become mainstream among consumers. Only after improving all functions will Samsung consider reducing costs and expanding its product portfolio.

It is worth noting that although the “FE” series of products have similar core parameters to flagship models, there will be differences in materials and imaging parameters. For example, the “FE” series will use plastic instead of aluminum alloy for the body, and there may be some reduction in imaging parameters as well. All of these are aimed at reducing product costs while ensuring performance, thereby providing a more cost-effective price.
