• We’ve spotted code indicating that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip FE will likely use the Exynos 2400e.
• This contradicts a recent leak that suggested the Fan Edition foldable would come with the Exynos 2500 processor.
• Using the Exynos 2400e would align with Samsung’s strategy to reduce costs, making foldables more accessible.

Foldables represent a paradigm shift for Android flagships, reimaging what a phone looks like and what it can do. However, the technology is still quite expensive and out of reach of the masses. Flip-style foldables come with a palatable price tag, but there’s still room to make them more affordable. Samsung has long been rumored to work on a Fan Edition (FE) model of its flip-style foldable, but reports have been all over the place on what processor the company could go with. We’ve now independently learned that the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip FE could come with the Exynos 2400e chip.


We’ve assessed code from reliable sources, which indicates that an upcoming Samsung product with the codename “B7R” will include the “S5e9945” processor.
