Samsung may not produce a cheaper Galaxy Z Fold model this year — why that's a missed opportunity

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.

Can you be in mourning for a product that may not have ever existed? I may will find out with the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE, the rumored lower-cost version of Samsung's flagship foldable that may have been scrapped before it ever saw the light of day.

Here's what we know. Samsung is most definitely working on a Galaxy Z Fold 6, the next entry in the Z Fold lineup, and that model will likely debut over the summer — quite possibly as soon as July 10 at a not-yet-announced Galaxy Unpacked event. Initial reports surrounding the Z Fold 6 suggested that a lower cost version was also in the works, which some had taken to calling the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE. (Samsung has a habit of sticking FE at the end of product names when it comes out with a scaled-down version that's a bit cheaper than its namesake — see the Galaxy S23 FE as an example.)
