Samsung is gearing up to shake the smartphone market with not one, but two exciting foldable releases next year – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, there’s an extra twist in the rumor mill, hinting at a more wallet-friendly option in the mix.
Renowned tipster @Tech_Reve, as reported by Notebookcheck, spills the beans that Samsung has set its sights on a jaw-dropping price range of $400-$500 for this affordable foldable wonder. It’s not just a price; it’s an “aggressive goal,” according to @Tech_Reve, bringing it well into the mid-range and nudging the edges of a budget steal.
Compare this to the current foldable giants – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 – with starting prices soaring at $1,799.99 / £1,749 / AU$2,599 and $999.99 / £1,049 / AU$1,649 respectively. If Samsung intends to go less than half (or even a third) of this hefty price tag, we’re talking serious compromises in materials and components.
Foldable phones have never been synonymous with affordability – think the OnePlus Open at $1,699 / £1,599 or the Google Pixel Fold kicking off at $1,799 / £1,749, both making their debut in 2023. The Oppo Find N2 Flip holds the title of the “cheapest” at £849 in the UK and AU$1,499 in Australia – still leagues away from Samsung’s ambitious $400-$500 target.
