For all the improvements Samsung made with the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, they still come with a rather hefty price tag. As details leak about a potential Galaxy S23 FE phone, we can’t help but wonder if the Fold or Flip line will ever get a “fan edition” model. According to a new interview, it’s not looking likely.

The interview touches on topics like the design of the hinge, growing competition, obstacles to adoption, and so on.
