We’ll have to wait a few more months until Samsung presents us with its Galaxy Z Fold6 and Flip6, the new generation of its foldable devices, which, barring any surprises, will be officially launched in the already traditional summer Galaxy Unpacked, between the end of July and the beginning of August. We do not expect a big leap in quality from these models compared to their predecessors, although they will surely come with some interesting novelties that justify the generational jump.

The development of the foldable smartphone market is slow, but it seems solid. Little by little we see new manufacturers joining, and those who have already made the leap maintain their commitment to renewing, with greater or lesser frequency, their designs, and consequently we also see the overall sales figures increase year after year. which prompts us to think that this type of device has a future, even if it is still hard to imagine.

There are several reasons why this growth is slow, and that is why they doubt it, no doubt The main factor at this point for most of them is price. It is true, yes, that in recent years we have seen a certain reduction in this sense, but as a general rule we are still talking about a type of smartphone that, in addition to having its peculiarities, is beyond the budget of many users. So we can give weight to the hypothesis that at a lower price, more users will be encouraged to try this type of phone.

So far, Samsung is the technology company that has decided the most decisively for foldable devices, and as we read in Wccftech, it seems that another very important step is coming in this regard, as it reflects a report that states that the expected Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 FE will cost around $800. A price that, while high, is an exceptional leap down from what we’re used to, especially in this form factor. To give some context, let’s recall that the cheapest version of the Galaxy Z Fold5, introduced in July last year, was priced 1,909 euros.

The first thing we have to do is take this leak with a grain of salt, because it is also based on another future, which is the arrival of FE versions (Fans Edition) in the Galaxy Z family, a move that would be most interesting. But even if what was stated in this report was eventually confirmed, in that case we should expect a significant reduction in specifications Galaxy Z Fold6 FE specs compared to its “big brother”. Now, if these cuts affect the performance, but not the reliability and durability of the device, we can really face a revolution in the world of foldable devices.
