samsung Confirms Foldable Lineup for 2026, Including ‘FE’ Model
Model numbers for Samsung‘s anticipated 2026 foldable phones have surfaced, revealing plans for a Galaxy Z Flip 8 FE, Galaxy Z Flip 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 (SM-F776, SM-F976 respectively). The continued inclusion of an ”FE” (Fan Edition) model suggests Samsung remains committed to offering a more accessible entry point into its foldable device category, despite questions surrounding the value proposition of the lower-priced variant.
This advancement provides the first concrete look at Samsung’s premium device strategy for 2026,impacting consumers considering a foldable purchase and competitors vying for market share in the rapidly evolving mobile landscape. While the exact specifications and features remain undisclosed, the confirmation of these models signals Samsung’s ongoing investment in foldable technology and its intention to refine and expand its offerings.
Notably absent from the leaked model numbers is a successor to Samsung’s recently showcased tri-fold phone, expected to launch before the end of the current year. The limited initial availability anticipated for the tri-fold suggests a cautious rollout strategy for the expensive and complex device.
However, a successor to the tri-fold isn’t entirely off the table for 2026, and development may still be underway. Similarly, a separate, slim phone-distinct from the previously considered Galaxy S26 edge-is also reportedly in development, potentially adding another innovative device to Samsung’s future portfolio.
