Galaxy Z Fold 3 price leak suggests expensive entry price
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 has an official launch date. Samsung announced earlier this week the August 11th Unpacked event, where it’ll unveil new Galaxy-branded devices. The new Fold model is the highlight of the show, considering all the recent rumors. The foldable handset should be more durable than its predecessors. And some rumors said Samsung would offer buyers better prices. The Korean giant’s most recent move made us question the earlier Galaxy Z Fold 3 price rumors. And we have a new leak that suggests a high entry price for Samsung’s newest foldable. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 might be more affordable, however.
Let’s remember the Fold 2 and Flip
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 cost $2,000 (£1,799, AU$2,999) at launch, but Samsung has cut the price since then. The European Fold 2 price hovered around €2,020. That’s a key detail because the new leak comes from the EU region.
The Galaxy Z Fold had a much better price, starting at $1,380. Over in Europe, Samsung priced the handset at €1,359.
As always, with price comparisons between continents, we’ll remind you that EU prices include VAT. Therefore, converting €2,020 to €1,359 to dollars would give us $2,381 and $1,602 prices, respectively, at this time of writing. With that in mind, let’s look at the new leak.
Galaxy Z Fold 3 price feels familiar
A Redditor found prices for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Flip 3, Watch 4, and Buds 2 on LambdaTek, an online shop in Europe. Before looking at the prices, I’ll remind you that they aren’t final. The prices that online stores might show aren’t necessarily accurate. Samsung is yet to reveal the suggested retail prices for its new Galaxy devices.
