There’s been a lot of talk about Samsung possibly releasing a third foldable phone. Last month, a leak suggested that instead of a cheaper option that was initially rumored, Samsung might be working on a high-end “Ultra” Galaxy Z Fold 6.

However, a new report from a reliable Korean news source, ETNews, suggests that Samsung is actually planning to launch a more affordable Galaxy Z Fold, not the expensive Ultra variant. According to tipster Tech Reve, this budget-friendly model could be called the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE.

As you might be aware, “FE” in Samsung’s product portfolio typically stands for “Fan Edition”. These FE edition devices usually offer flagship experiences at a lower price point by making some compromises in certain areas.

The rumored Galaxy Z Fold FE might follow this trend, as the ETNews report indicates that it may not support the S-Pen stylus. This lines up with last month’s rumors about the Ultra Fold 6 model having stylus support while the regular Fold 6 may not.

Regardless of whether it’s the Ultra or affordable FE, all hints point that Samsung is indeed cooking a third foldable device in its factory. Previous reports suggest that this device has been internally coded as “Q6A.”

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to be unveiled at an Unpacked event in the third quarter of the year. Samsung might also announce its third foldable device at the same event.

There’s still much we don’t know about the upcoming Samsung foldable, except that the renders of Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 have already surfaced online. We’ll keep you updated as new information becomes available.
