Samsung's plan to bring a cheap Galaxy Z Fold model has been canceled?
While users are eagerly waiting for a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold, Samsung suddenly "poured cold water" with the announcement that it has no plans to launch such a product.
After launching the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition with many valuable upgrades such as a thinner and lighter design, larger screen and 200MP camera, Samsung has officially confirmed that this is just a "higher-end" option and not a cheap version of the Z Fold6.

There were rumors that Samsung would launch the Galaxy Z Fold6 FE at a more affordable price.
However, according to SamMobile, an unnamed Samsung employee said the company canceled this plan due to difficulties in producing a device that is both thin and light, with full features such as S Pen support, at a competitive price.
This information will certainly disappoint many users who were looking forward to a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold.
Currently, the starting price for the Z Fold6 is still quite high, making it difficult for many people to access this advanced folding phone technology.
Samsung’s decision shows that it is focusing on the high-end segment with the Galaxy Z Fold series, instead of competing directly on price with Chinese rivals.

The tech world is buzzing with leaked information about the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim, the latest version of Samsung 's Z Fold series .

The highlight of the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim is its significantly thinner and lighter design compared to the standard Z Fold6, while also having a larger 7.6-inch screen than previous generations. However, to achieve this impressive thinness, Samsung had to remove the digitizer layer, which means the Z Fold6 Slim will not support the S Pen.
In addition, the device will be equipped with an Exynos chip, providing powerful and stable performance. Although it has many similarities with the Z Fold6, the Z Fold6 Slim is not the low-cost version of the Z Fold6 FE or the standard version expected to launch next month.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the Z Fold6 Slim. Back in May, rumors were swirling that the phone would launch alongside the Galaxy S25 series in early 2025. However, with the latest information, it seems that Samsung has decided to speed up the launch of the Z Fold6 Slim, at least in the Chinese market.
With a breakthrough design and valuable improvements, the Galaxy Z Fold6 Slim promises to be a formidable competitor in the foldable phone segment, attracting the attention of many technology-loving users.
