Samsung is expected to hold its next big Unpacked event in New York in early July, and that’s where the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 will become official. They are very likely to be joined by the oft-rumored Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, deemed to be a more affordable flip-style foldable option.
Just how much more affordable? Well, according to a new report from Korea, the Flip7 FE will be priced in Samsung’s home country around KRW 1 million. That currently translates into approximately $740, €645, or £545.

Of course prices don’t usually translate directly from one currency to another, but it’s probably safe to expect a launch price of $799 in the US, which would, as expected, significantly undercut the Flip7, creating a more affordable entry point into its flip-style foldable line.
As for pricing in the EU and UK, that’s much harder to anticipate – it will definitely be more than in Korea, as that’s how things usually go. Let’s just say at least €799 and £699 seems likely, but this is just us speculating, keep in mind.
The Flip7 FE will be offered with 128GB and 256GB of storage, today’s report goes on to say, and the Flip7 will get 256GB and 512GB options, priced identically to its predecessor from last year.
According to previous rumors, the Flip7 FE will either be a Flip5 with an Exynos 2400e SoC, or a Flip6 with a different name. Somehow neither of those options strike us as logical, but weirder things have happened in the mobile world.
