Rumors about Samsung’s hypothetical launch of a cheaper folding device are not recent. The possible Galaxy Fold Lite has been in the news before and is back when few remembered it.
This time, the news is published by the user @ chunvn8888 on the social network Twitter. His testimonial revives hope for the release of this lower-priced device and introduces a new detail.
Galaxy Fold Lite could be integrated into the Galaxy A line of smartphones
the referred filter tells where the next foldable can fit in Samsung’s portfolio. As it progresses, this new device could be part of the Galaxy A mid-range product line.
This is one of the most recognizable smartphone lines from Samsung. It is in the Galaxy A line that we find the most successful South Korean products in the world thanks to their incredible quality/price ratio.
Unfortunately, the source of this speculation does not provide any further details on the hypothetical Galaxy Fold Lite. However, its positioning in Samsung’s portfolio offers some clues.
If this is indeed part of the Galaxy A lineup, we can expect mid-range specs. As well as less powerful hardware than the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip line members, there are bound to be compromises in the quality of its build materials.
The first rumors about the Galaxy Fold Lite pointed to the use of a 7-inch inner panel and a 4-inch outer panel. The internal display material would no longer be ultra-thin glass, possibly embracing plastic.
The price of this hypothetical Galaxy Fold Lite will be a crucial point for its success in the market. If you position yourself too close to the models in the Galaxy Z line, it can be difficult to convince the consumer to buy.
However, there is little tangible evidence to indicate that Samsung will release this affordable foldable soon. There has been talk of this hypothetical device for two years, without it coming to fruition, and that makes us more reluctant to this theory.
