Samsung could cancel Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE launch

  • Samsung is said to reconsider its plan to launch Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE this year.
  • Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 may only launch in July Unpacked.
  • Partners preparing for mass production of only two foldable models.

Samsung might not launch the affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE this year. A new report indicates that the company will entirely review its plan to bring a cheaper foldable phone to the market. The first FE foldable likely won’t see the light at least in 2024.

TheElec reports that Samsung has “entered a full review” of the Z Fold 6 FE launch. The company may only release the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 at the July 2024 Unpacked. Samsung partners reportedly start mass production this month for both models.

The report mentions that the FE foldable could be canceled due to a lack of product differentiation and uncertain market conditions. Despite removing S Pen-compatible components, the company failed to reduce the thickness of the Fold 6 FE to the regular model.

The South Korean tech giant conducted folding tests on the cheaper Galaxy Z Fold 6. This test was performed to ensure the durability of the product before entering the market. It was observed that the thickness was not thinner than that of Chinese foldable phones.
