Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE surfaces on Geekbench again, hints at new Exynos chipset: Here's what to expect

Samsung may soon introduce the Galaxy Z Flip FE, possibly alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 during its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. Ahead of any official announcement, a new Geekbench listing has added to the ongoing speculation about the chipset powering the upcoming foldable phone. The latest listing, under model number SM-F766U, shows the device running a ten-core chipset with a motherboard codenamed 's5e9955'. The processor includes one core at 3.30GHz, two at 2.75GHz, five at 2.36GHz, and two additional cores at 1.80GHz. This setup aligns with the Exynos 2500 chipset, marking a shift from previous listings that mentioned the Exynos 2400.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE runs Geekbench powered by a chipset you might not like

Samsung is working on an FE flip-style foldable, we've been hearing that a lot in the past few months. It's still debatable whether this will be called Galaxy Z Flip FE or Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, but regardless of that (we'll just call it the Flip FE), we now know the chipset inside. That's because a prototype has run Geekbench, and the benchmark's online database has revealed what's inside: Samsung's Exynos 2400 SoC. Not the 2400e that was seen in the Galaxy S24 FE last year, mind you, but the 2400 itself. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE SM-F761N Geekbench listing reveals Exynos 2400 chipset.🔳 Exynos 2400 SoC🎮 Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU🍭 Android 16 - 8GB RAM#SamsungGalaxyZFlipFE #GalaxyZFlipFE — Abhishek Yadav (@yabhishekhd) May 12, 2025 As you may know, this SoC was inside the Galaxy S24 and S24+ in some regions, which launched back in January of last year. While that's quite a long time ago in the mobile world, this was a flagship chipset at the time (people's issues with the Exynos range aside), and so it should be a decent chip for the presumably cheap Flip FE. Of course, the pricing itself will make or break this device - at close to $500-600, most people will probably not have an issue with the chipset choice, but if it's $700-800 or even more, then the conversation will definitely change. Anyway, the chip was paired with 8GB of RAM in the prototype that ran the benchmark, and the device ran Android 16, which makes us think it might launch with One UI 8 on board. It also tells us that it's not coming very soon - it could be unveiled alongside the Flip7 and Fold7 in early July or after that, but most likely not sooner, since Google is only planning to release Android 16 in June. Now let's address the elephant in the room. Last week a leak purportedly gave us the specs of the Flip FE, and it was said to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC. Either that leak was wrong, or Samsung is planning on releasing the device with two different chips in different regions, which wouldn't be surprising given how much it's done that for the flagship Galaxy S family in the past.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip FE Launch Could Be Delayed This Year: Here's When It Might Come

Last Updated: Samsung is going to have a busy 2025 with a launch spree which should include a trio of foldable devices along with its first tri-fold model in the market. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 series launch is likely to happen in the next few months, with most reports hinting at a July 2025 launch this year. The company is widely expected to bring its first FE version of Flip model to the market but it seems the launch has been delayed. According to reports the Galaxy Z Flip FE model is going to be Samsung's first real focus on the foldable segment with an affordable product but now it seems the company is shifting its strategy to align with its current lineup. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE Launch Delayed: But Why Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE launch is now pushed to Q4 2025 as per the report, which means we won't be seeing it announced along with the Z Fold and Flip 7 models. The good news is that we could see the affordable Flip model introduced with Samsung's first tri-fold device later this year. The Q4 timeline suggests Samsung could debut the new foldables around October which is a month after the iPhone 17 series rolls out from Apple. According to a tipster, the FE Flip phone could be powered by the same Exynos chipset as the premium Galaxy S24 series. Samsung has talked about exploring ways to reduce the entry barriers for foldables so that more customers consider buying them. And one big way to do that is by offering its products at a more accessible price point. We are eager to see how aggressive the brand is ready to go with the FE Flip model, and whether it can deliver a product with a price tag that convinces people to buy and get more of them interested in the form factor. One UI 7 update delays for its earlier Galaxy S flagship phones, with the 2024 models finally getting the new Android 15 version in India this week. First Published: April 24, 2025, 11:24 IST

Samsung 'tri-fold' and Galaxy Z Flip 'FE' might debut this year: Report

Samsung appears to be pushing ahead with its foldable ambitions, with two new devices reportedly on the horizon — though they may arrive later than initially expected. According to a report by 9To5Google, which cites Korean publication The Bell, Samsung is preparing to launch a new budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip FE and a tri-fold device sometime in the fourth quarter of 2025. While Samsung's flagship foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, are still reportedly on track for a July or August release, the company's more experimental and affordable offerings are said to be arriving a few months later, 9To5Google reported. The Galaxy Z Flip FE — a lower-cost alternative to the standard Flip series — was previously rumoured to launch 'months' after the Flip 7, but this is the first relatively solid timeline pointing to a Q4 debut. Meanwhile, the tri-fold device, which may carry the name "Galaxy G Fold," has experienced a shifting development schedule. Earlier reports suggested a Q3 release, but more recent information indicated Samsung might only preview the device later this year, pushing a full release into early 2026, as reported by 9To5Google. According to a report by the 9To5Google, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be slightly thicker than the 6.9mm profile of the Z Flip 6 and could feature a 3.4-inch external display shaped like a folder, accommodating a two-camera set-up. Inside, users can expect a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display. Samsung may opt for an Armour Aluminium frame for this model, enhancing its overall durability and resilience. As reported by Smartprix, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could borrow its camera hardware from last year's flagship, possibly including a 50MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The device is also expected to retain the same 4,000mAh battery capacity seen in the Z Flip 6. It may be powered by the Exynos 2400e processor — a slightly scaled-down version of the chip found in the Galaxy S24 series. On the software side, the phone will likely launch with One UI 7 based on Android 15 and is expected to benefit from Samsung's extended update policy, offering up to seven years of software and security support. Samsung Galaxy G Fold: What to expect Samsung's upcoming tri-fold smartphone, expected to be called the Galaxy G Fold, will reportedly weigh just under 300 grams — placing it in the same ballpark as the Huawei Mate XT, which debuted last year as the world's first commercially available tri-fold device. However, in terms of design, Samsung's model may not be as slim. According to a GSMArena report, the Galaxy G Fold won't match the Mate XT's ultra-thin 3.6mm profile when fully unfolded. Regarding the screen, the Galaxy G Fold is said to offer a 9.96-inch display when fully extended, giving users a near-tablet experience. When folded, a 6.54-inch portion of the screen will remain accessible. For comparison, Samsung's existing Galaxy Z Fold 6 features a 6.3-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner display. This suggests the G Fold will significantly expand the visual experience compared to the brand's current foldables, potentially positioning itself as a more versatile productivity and media consumption device.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy tri-fold launch delayed? New timeline tipped in India

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy tri-fold launch delayed: Samsung's attempts to disrupt the market for foldable phones have just run into trouble. The release of the highly anticipated tri-fold phone, the Galaxy Z Flip FE, has reportedly been postponed. Fans expecting these cutting-edge gadgets may be disappointed by this news. The Galaxy Z Flip FE was intended to give Samsung a more affordable entry point into its foldable portfolio. At the same time, the tri-fold phone would have pushed the frontiers of smartphone design. Let's examine the specifics of this delay and its implications for Samsung's foldable goals. We'll explore the causes of the hold-up and what consumers might anticipate from these next-generation gadgets. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE and Galaxy tri-fold launch timeline (Leaked) The Bell, a reputable South Korean news source that first disclosed the launch schedule, is the source of the most recent report. According to an industry insider cited in the story, Samsung Display has started manufacturing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 screens. The front-end production process for foldable OLED panels is nearly identical to standard OLED panels. The back-end method is somewhat different. It is anticipated that Samsung Electronics will begin manufacturing the foldables in May 2025. In Q3 of 2025, both flagship foldables are expected to go on sale worldwide, including in India. The Bell also mentions that the Galaxy tri-fold and Z Flip FE may be released in Q4 2025. At first, it was anticipated that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 would be launched alongside the Galaxy Flip FE and Galaxy Z tri-fold. Samsung Foundry's yield problems with the Exynos 2500 SoC were cited as the leading cause of the Galaxy Z Flip FE's launch delay. Due to yield concerns, the chipset initially meant for the basic Galaxy S25 series was later discontinued. Another rumour, however, disputes this, speculating that the Exynos 2400e SoC—the same chip used in the Galaxy S24 FE—may be included in the Galaxy Z Flip FE. Samsung Galaxy tri-fold expected specifications The Galaxy tri-fold, which is anticipated to be substantially more expensive than the Galaxy Z foldable, may debut under the "Galaxy G Fold" moniker. It is predicted to weigh 298 grams and have a 9.96-inch display. The device's thickness will be increased using an inward folding mechanism. When fully folded, the tri-fold device could stand 6.54 inches tall. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE rumored specifications According to GalaxyClub, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE is available in the European market with model number SM-F761B. According to reports, it has the same Exynos 2400e chipset as the Galaxy S24 FE. This supports early rumors that the same SoC will power the next phone. Nevertheless, a prior source also suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip FE used the Exynos 2500. The fan edition foldable would include 8GB of RAM, according to the newspaper. It is anticipated that the gadget will have two rear cameras, including a 12MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. It will sport a 10MP selfie camera on the front. The camera setup and RAM size are identical to that of the 2023 Galaxy Z Flip 5. According to the source, the Galaxy Z Flip FE might be identical to the Z Flip 5 with an improved chipset. According to the next offering's 3C certification, it supports 25W rapid charging, just like earlier Z Flip versions. Whether the smartphone will be powered by the same 3,700mAh battery cell that powers the Z Flip 5 is yet unknown. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE expected price It is anticipated that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE will be less expensive than the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Therefore, it's not shocking that the device can have less powerful specs than the ordinary model. For the latest and more interesting tech news, keep reading Indiatimes Tech.
