Samsung reportedly considering more affordable Z Fold 6

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series is one of my favourite, offering a tablet experience when unfolded and a regular, albeit tall, smartphone experience when folded. However, these devices are incredibly expensive, usually costing over $2,000 in Canada.

It looks like Samsung might change things up this year by offering a cheaper version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. According to a report from The Elec, the South Korean company aims to increase shipments by bringing more foldables at accessible price points. However, the report indicates the company is unsure if this is the right year to bring this to the market, considering the smartphone market conditions over the past few years.

If Samsung does go forward with this plan, in August, the company will offer the Z Flip 6, Z Fold 6, and a more affordable handset, possibly called the Z Fold 6 FE.

The report also suggests that the Z Fold 6 will be thinner than its predecessor. The Z Flip 6, on the other hand, will be very similar to the Z Flip 5.
