Samsung will hold an Unpacked event on January 22, where it will launch the Galaxy S25 series. We've heard a lot about the three siblings of the Galaxy S25 series - Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra. There are rumors that the fourth S25 model Galaxy S25 Slim will appear at this conference.
However, the latest information is about the rumored budget Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which suggests that the device will feature a similar display to last year's flip phone. According to display analyst Ross Young, the Galaxy Z Flip 7FE (fan edition) may use the same display as the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Last year's Galaxy Z Flip 6 was equipped with a 6.7-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2640x1080, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a peak brightness of 2600 nits, which can be used for HDR content. If this kind of display is used on the Galaxy Z Flip 7FE, it should achieve the expected effect, because the display of the Z Flip 6 is considered to be quite sufficient in terms of content consumption.
Although specific details about the display are still scarce, using an older display panel could help Samsung keep the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE low, which is also in line with the original design intention of the fan version phone. Other hardware configuration details are still unclear, but there are rumors that Samsung may use the Exynos 2400e processor of the Galaxy S24FE in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
However, there has been recent speculation that both Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE may become the company's first foldable phones using Exynos 2500 SoC. More details are expected to be released ahead of the release of the more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, expected to launch in the third quarter of 2025.
