BREAKING: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE might be priced under $800

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE is rumored to have a price tag of less than $800. A new report says that the company’s first affordable phone will cost half of the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 5.

According to the Sisa Journal report, Samsung is expected to bring the Galaxy Z Fold 6 FE with an aggressive price tag. This will make the affordable Fold even $200 cheaper than the already cheap Galaxy Z Flip smartphone.

Meanwhile, this massive price cut would be possible after compromising the processor, display, and battery. The FE model may bring a low-end chip, a slightly smaller battery, and older foldable display tech.

The Fold 6 FE (tentative name) could feature the same camera sensors as the Galaxy Z Fold models released in the recent past. The camera specs of the cheaper Fold are expected to be almost similar to the existing model

Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 has a rear triple camera with 12MP ultra-wide angle (F2.2), 50MP dual pixel (F1.8), and 10MP telephoto (F2.4), a front camera on the cover display and an under-display camera on the inner display.

Google extends Android updates for Pixel 6, 7, and Fold, plus new fixes for Pixel 9 with Android 15 QPR1

Published

on

Android 15

Google has announced a significant extension to its Android OS update policy for the Pixel 6 series, Pixel 7 series, and Pixel Fold. These devices will now receive Android OS updates for five years, aligning them with Google’s commitment to long-term software support.

Extended Updates for Pixel 6, 7, and Fold

When Google introduced the Tensor chip in the Pixel 6 series, it expanded its software support to five years, including three years of OS updates and two additional years of security patches. However, the newer Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 series offer seven years of updates. This raised questions about whether the Pixel 6 and 7 generations would get extended support.

Google has now confirmed that these devices, including the Pixel Fold, will receive five full years of OS and security updates. This policy applies from the date the device first launched on the Google Store in the U.S.

Updated Support Policy Summary:

  • 7 Years of Updates: Pixel 8, Pixel 9, and future models.
  • 5 Years of Updates: Pixel 6, Pixel 7, and Pixel Fold.
  • 3 Years of OS Updates, 5 Years of Security Updates: Pixel Tablet.

The change was hinted at earlier when Android 16 Developer Preview listed support for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro.

Android 15 QPR1: New Fixes for Pixel Devices

Google has also started rolling out the first Quarterly Platform Release (QPR1) update for Android 15. This update brings fixes and improvements across various Pixel models. OTA and factory images are now available for supported devices, though on-device updates may take a bit longer to appear.

Fixes and Improvements

The Android 15 QPR1 update includes 16 fixes across multiple areas:

  • Audio: Stability improvements and fixes for USB audio-related reboots.
  • Bluetooth: Enhanced range for Pixel 9 devices.
  • Camera: Stability improvements in certain scenarios.
  • Display & Graphics: Fixes for green screen tint issues.
  • System: General stability and performance improvements.
  • Telephony: Improved network connection reliability.
  • User Interface: Fixes for lockscreen wallpaper issues, dark mode stability, swipe actions, and notification background colors.
  • Wi-Fi: Improved wireless performance and stability.

Device-Specific Builds

Global updates have been released for all supported Pixel devices, including localized builds for certain regions (e.g., Telstra in Australia and EMEA countries).

Final Thoughts

With extended update support and continuous fixes, Google is reinforcing its commitment to enhancing user experience across its Pixel lineup. These changes ensure that even older devices remain relevant and secure for longer periods, aligning with the company’s focus on sustainable and reliable technology.
