Samsung has been facing some issues with the manufacturing of its 3nm chips. The decision to equip the Z Flip7 with the 3nm Exynos 2500 instead of the Galaxy S25 series launching in January 2025 seems fair.

It suggests the company is aiming to refine its production yield and reduce costs before ramping up mass production.

While Samsung’s foldables have previously relied on Qualcomm chips, the plan to use Exynos seems to be a significant one.

It will be interesting to see how the Exynos 2500 compares in performance and power efficiency.

However, the Z Fold7 is still expected to stick with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, as no Exynos mention was made for this model.

Galaxy Z Flip FE: Affordable Foldable with Exynos 2400e

The Galaxy Z Flip FE will be the budget-friendly option in the foldable segment. It’s rumoured to run on the Exynos 2400e, which is a slightly downclocked version of the Exynos 2400 found in the Galaxy S24 FE.

The Exynos 2400e offers a balance between cost and performance, which makes it a solid choice for a more affordable foldable device.

This chipset has already proven its ability to handle everyday tasks efficiently, promising a smooth user experience for those looking for an entry-level Samsung foldable ecosystem.

Samsung seems set to cater to both premium and budget-conscious users with these two devices and aims to make foldable more accessible than ever.
