Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Samsung’s history with chipsets has been a bit confusing. Every year there are new reports that the company will use its in-house Exynos processor in its flagship smartphone. But it is often seen that in big markets like the US, Samsung uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipset only. This time the situation may be a little different, as some new leaks are indicating that the Exynos chipset in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may also come to the US, which would be a big change in Samsung’s strategy.
Possible entry of Exynos 2500 chipset in Galaxy Z Flip 7
According to a report by SamMobile, new firmware files of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 indicate that Samsung may use its Exynos 2500 processor in the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to be launched in the US as well. This change is important for Samsung, as till now Exynos chips were mostly limited to markets like Asia and Europe, while Snapdragon chipsets have been preferred in the US. This change indicates a new direction in Samsung’s chipset policy.
The situation is a bit confusing right now
However, there is still confusion in the market. Some reports say that only in South Korea the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will come with Exynos chipset, while earlier rumors suggested that this chipset would be used in most markets. It is difficult to say clearly about this situation in which countries this chipset will be available. But it is certain that Samsung is testing its next generation foldable phone with Exynos 2500, which has also been confirmed by the Geekbench listing.
Launch of flagship foldable Galaxy Unpacked event
Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 at the Galaxy Unpacked event to be held in June or July. The launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model is also likely at this event. This event will introduce the new generation of foldable smartphones to the market, in which the company will bring many improvements in its hardware and design.
There will be no major change in prices
According to current reports, Samsung will not make any major changes in the prices of its next foldable smartphones. The starting price of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be around $1,099 (about ₹ 90,000), which is almost the same as the previous generation. At the same time, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will also come to the market with a price of $1,899 (about ₹ 1,55,000), similar to last year’s model. This indicates that Samsung wants to keep prices stable in its premium foldable segment to reach more users.
Big change in Samsung’s foldable strategy
If the Galaxy Z Flip 7 comes with an Exynos chipset in the US, it will be considered a major change in Samsung’s chipset policy. For the past several years, the company has been using Snapdragon chips in big markets like the US because Qualcomm’s chips are considered better in the US market. But now Samsung’s focus is to take its in-house Exynos chipset to more markets, which will strengthen the company’s own chipset ecosystem and reduce dependence on Qualcomm.
This move by Samsung is also expected to improve the performance, battery efficiency, and connectivity of the foldable phone. At the same time, it will be interesting for users to see what kind of real-life performance is available in the model with Exynos chipset. Overall, this new version of Galaxy Z Flip 7 can determine the future direction of Samsung’s foldable smartphone.
