Three Samsung foldables are on their way, including the budget one that has been rumored. A well-known tipster, Roland Quandt, released codenames for all three devices, thus confirming they’re on their way.
Three Samsung foldables are on the way, including a budget offering
WinFuture managed to get information from some import/export documents that confirmed limited component production quantities for the aforementioned devices. Those devices are codenamed Q6, B6, and Q6A.
Now, the Q6 and B6 are probably the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. The third one, the Q6A, is likely the more affordable variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. We’re still not sure what will it be called, though. Samsung could use the ‘Lite’ naming, which would be per course for the company. That model also won’t include an S Pen, in case you were wondering.
A recent report indicated one way Samsung is trying to save money on that foldable so that it can offer it at a lower price tag. The company is said to be using inkjet printing for the bezels in order to do that.
Not much is known about the company’s budget foldable smartphone
When it comes to the phone’s design and specs, well, we still don’t have much to go on. All we know is that the phone will be a book-style foldable, and chances are it will resemble the Galaxy Z Fold lineup.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it looked very similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, or even the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung will likely use inferior hardware, both on the outside and on the inside… well, compared to the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6, of course.
That phone is expected to be quite powerful still. The company may reach for last year’s flagship SoC, or perhaps a truly powerful mid-range chip. We’re still expecting to see 120Hz displays on the phone, and rather capable cameras.
More information will likely arrive fast. The company’s more affordable foldable could launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 handsets. In other words, it could arrive in August.
