The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE, rumored for a launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7 in early July, may now be called the Galaxy Z Flip Xe, although this is unconfirmed. The potential name change raises questions about Samsung’s branding strategy, as using “FE” would connote a more affordable alternative to the Flip7. Speculated features of the Flip Xe include the Exynos 2400e chipset, a 12 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide camera, and a 10 MP selfie camera, suggesting it may be an updated version of the Flip5, with possible other differences.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE (often referred to as the Z Flip7 FE) has been the subject of speculation for months as a more affordable flip-style foldable, potentially launching alongside the Galaxy Z Flip7 in early July. While the name seemed secure (aside from some confusion around the number 7), recent developments have introduced doubt.
A recent report suggests that the budget-friendly Samsung foldable might actually be named Galaxy Z Flip Xe, for reasons yet to be clarified. Of course, this remains unconfirmed, so for now, it’s best to consider this information as mere speculation.

We can’t help but wonder why, if this turns out to be true, Samsung chose to abandon the “FE” branding, which would likely lead customers to view it as a more affordable option compared to the Flip7. Or perhaps that’s precisely the reason for the name change? What are your thoughts? Will Samsung opt for the familiar FE branding, or will it take a risk and try something new?
Previous rumors indicate that the Flip Xe (or FE) will feature the Exynos 2400e chipset, a 12 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide lens, and a 10 MP selfie camera. With these specifications, it appears to be a Flip5 equipped with a newer SoC, but additional differences could certainly exist as well.
