Samsung may cut down on the foldable shipments next year, but it has a stellar foldable lineup coming. For example, Samsung could bring an affordable variant to the Galaxy Z lineup, the Galaxy Z Flip FE, which could be a clamshell foldable. The FE suffix stands for the familiar โFan Editionโ tag, meaning a more affordable price tag, so more users could grab the chance to try it out.
Galaxy Z Flip FE makes it to the GSMA database, confirming itโs indeed coming
While the Galaxy Z Flip FE release is still some way off, it has now appeared in the GSMA database, as SmartPrix reports. This confirms that the affordable clamshell foldable is indeed on the horizon. Although the GSMA listing reveals very little, itโs worth noting that the upcoming foldable carries the model number SM-F761B.
The source included a disclaimer โ which I also noticed โ that the phone appears as the Galaxy Z Flip XE. This is most likely a mistake, and I agree with the author on that point. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Flip FE could feature the Exynos 2400 SoC.
Galaxy Watch 8 Classic joins the GSMA database along with Galaxy Z Flip FE
The upcoming Galaxy Watch 8 Classic has also appeared on the GSMA database, alongside the clamshell foldable. It carries the model number SM-L505U. For what itโs worth, the โClassicโ suffix is making a comeback after nearly a year since its debut. Weโll have to wait and see how that pans out โ and whether it truly makes a statement. For now, itโs confirmed that both the Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic are coming next year.
As for the details the GSMA database provides, it lists the manufacturer, market name (essentially the product name), brand, and model number. In this case, itโs Samsung Korea, Galaxy Z Flip FE, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, Samsung, and their respective model numbers.
