Samsung may be preparing to unveil its first Fan Edition foldable smartphone—the Galaxy Z Flip FE—as it appears in a recent Geekbench benchmark listing. The upcoming device, potentially positioned as a more affordable alternative in Samsung’s foldable lineup, has shown up in the database with the model number SM-F761N. The listing reveals critical specifications, including the use of the Exynos 2400 chipset, which has previously powered the Galaxy S24 and S24+ models in select markets like India.
According to the Geekbench entry, the Galaxy Z Flip FE will be powered by a chipset codenamed s5e9945, featuring an octa-core CPU with a 1+2+3+4 architecture—suggesting one prime core running at 3.21GHz, two performance cores at 2.90GHz, three at 2.59GHz, and four efficiency cores at 1.96GHz. The processor is expected to be the same Exynos 2400 SoC found in earlier Samsung flagship models. Furthermore, the listing shows the device running on Android 16, scoring 1,930 in single-core and 6,276 in multi-core tests. It also reveals 7.06GB of RAM, which may be rounded off as 8GB in commercial specifications.
The Galaxy Z Flip FE is speculated to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 later this year. Unlike its higher-end counterparts, the FE model is expected to feature toned-down specifications to make it more budget-friendly. While early rumors hinted at a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 variant, current reports strongly indicate that the Exynos 2400 chipset will power the FE version. This would mark a shift in Samsung’s foldable lineup, which traditionally relied on Qualcomm processors.
The standard Galaxy Z Flip 7, on the other hand, is tipped to use the upcoming Exynos 2500 SoC, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite for Galaxy. If confirmed, the Galaxy Z Flip FE will become the first Fan Edition foldable device from Samsung and could appeal to users looking for a premium folding experience at a lower cost.
Samsung has not yet confirmed the launch date or pricing of the Galaxy Z Flip FE, but its appearance on Geekbench suggests the announcement might be just around the corner.
