That could largely make sense, too, seeing asSamsung is hosting its annual Developer Conferencein San Francisco from the day after, Thursday 5 October, through to close of the week on Friday 6 October. I hadn’t expected any product reveals to arrive at that event specifically, but now I’m wondering if there’s extra grit to this rumour and we’ll see the next Galaxy ‘Fan Edition’ device after all.

That’s not all, though, as there’s supposedly yet more coming from Samsung: aGalaxy Tab S9 Fan Editionis also said to be part of the reveal package, delivering a lower-spec version of the Galaxy Tab S9 models (wereviewed the Tab S9 Ultra and it’s amazing) which were revealed alongside theGalaxy Z Flip 5andGalaxy Z Fold 5– also known asthe best folding phones of 2023– and even new Galaxy Buds FE too.

I think my bigger surprise, if anything, is that Samsung is making a Fan Edition model if its flagship phone at all. There was no Galaxy S22 FE, for example, and that was widely regarded as being the death knell for a phone that the Korean maker no longer needed to produce – especially when it’s putting such emphasis on sustainability. I suspect, however, that the FE model may possibly maybe only be ranged in certain regions – a91Mobiles reportcites Samsung’s own Argentinian site as a leak, plus information about pricing from an Indian source, for example.
