Budget Samsung Foldable Smartphone Could Be On Its Way

According to two separate reports, Samsung is planning to launch a budget foldable smartphone. The starting time study is coming from SamMobile, who claims that the model number for this phone is 'SM-F415'.

On the flip side, the Samsung 'SM-F415F' got certified past the Wi-Fi Alliance, basically confirming the report we've mentioned in the beginning paragraph. This Wi-Fi Alliance certification does not share any boosted details, though.

Now, as some of you may know, Samsung's model numbers are quite descriptive. The alphabetic character 'F' is used for the visitor's foldable handsets. The SM-F900, SM-F700, and SM-F916 are for the Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Z Flip, and Milky way Z Fold 2, respectively.

Budget Samsung foldable smartphone coming in ii variants

SamMobile also says that it received some additional details about this device. The phone will, allegedly, come in 64GB and 128GB storage variants. Color options accept also been shared.

This phone volition exist available in black, green, and blue colour options, if the source is to be believed. The source does not that it received this information from a source that it "can't throw our weight behind".

Nosotros would normally tell you to take this rumor with a grain of salt, due to this comment, just the device already surfaced on Wi-Fi Brotherhood. That certification more than or less confirms its existence. The model number fits.

We're but not sure if this will be a smartphone that folds, or a tablet that folds. In other words, whether it will belong in the 'Z Flip' or the 'Z Fold' lineup.

Samsung could actually use the Z Flip or Z Fold branding for the phone, and too the word 'Lite' or something of the sort. We're merely guessing, it'south possible that the visitor will come up with a whole new naming for this telephone.

A new naming scheme for this lineup may non be a bad idea

If Samsung plans to keep releasing more affordable foldable phones, coming upward with a make new naming scheme may not be such a bad thought. We'll encounter what the company is planning.

Now, in terms of the launch engagement for this smartphone, well, nosotros don't have any data just nonetheless. Considering that it already popped up on the Wi-Fi Alliance, it'southward quite possible it will be released quite presently.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's coming earlier the finish of the year for sure. If priced at around $600-700, Samsung could peak interesting in a lot of consumers. The question is, is that doable. We'll meet what price range is the company aiming for, this subclass may be too optimistic.
