The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE is shaping up to be Samsung’s boldest play yet in the budget foldable market. Fresh leaks from Geekbench hint at flagship-tier specs at a fraction of the cost, challenging last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 6. Here’s everything we know about this game-changing clamshell.
- Geekbench listing confirms Exynos 2400 chipset and 8GB RAM for Galaxy Z Flip FE.
- Likely positioned as Samsung’s first affordable FE-branded foldable.
- May debut alongside Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in late 2024.
Geekbench Leak: Exynos 2400 & Android 16

Exynos 2400 vs. Snapdragon: The Chipset Debate
Samsung’s choice of the Exynos 2400 for the Z Flip FE breaks tradition—the Z-series has historically used Qualcomm chips. However, the Exynos 2400’s 10-core CPU (1×3.21GHz + 2×2.9GHz + 3×2.59GHz + 4×1.96GHz) promises efficiency for a foldable. Comparatively:
- Galaxy Z Flip 6: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
- Galaxy Z Fold 7: Snapdragon 8 Elite (rumored).
Why Exynos? Cost-cutting. Using in-house chips lets Samsung undercut rivals like Motorola Razr 50 Ultra.
Affordable Foldable Strategy
The Galaxy Z Flip FE is expected to retail 20–30% cheaper than the Z Flip 7, targeting first-time foldable buyers. To hit this price:
- Watered-down internals: No ultra-premium cameras or displays.
- Regional chipset splits: Exynos in some markets, Snapdragon in others?
