may not be as “lite” as that name would have you believe, according to its purported spec sheet which leaked online earlier today. The list, while incomplete, points toward a pretty respectable smartphone irrespective of its novel form factor. More specifically, the Galaxy Z Fold Lite is said to feature hardware on par with Samsung’s 2019 flagships, including the

, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of flash storage, and a 7.2-inch Super AMOLED display that bends in half thanks to a layer of Ultra Thin Glass (UTG).

The outfolding screen is expected to support a still-unspecified FHD+ resolution. Sitting on the opposite side should be a relatively modest cover display intended primarily for glancing notifications. What’s more, it’s becoming increasingly more likely that Samsung will market the upcoming smartphone as the Galaxy Z Fold 2 Lite. Which would be

based on Android 10 out of the box. And while all of that seems to point toward a highly capable device, the caveat is that there may be a highly debatable price tag to go alongside it. More specifically, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 Lite is alleged to cost around $1,600, at least in India, where its release price is said to amount to Rs 118,000.

While still significantly more affordable than the Galaxy Z Fold 2 — expected to hit India at nearly $2,400, or Rs 175,000 — the rumored figure isn’t exactly as accessible as the “Lite” moniker would normally suggest.
