Here’s a quick rundown:
- Price Hike Alert: Leaked prices suggest a potential price increase for both Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 in Europe.
- Fold 6 Increase Seems Exorbitant: Fold 6’s €300 bump across variants raises doubts, while Flip 6’s €130 increase seems more reasonable considering its upgrades.
- Pre-Reservations Open: You can reserve your Fold 6 or Flip 6 now for a $50 credit, but wait till official pricing before committing.
Samsung’s upcoming Unpacked event promises exciting new foldables, but a recent leak has cast a shadow of doubt on their affordability. Alleged European pricing suggests a potential price increase for both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6.
The Fold 6’s leaked price hike is particularly concerning. It reportedly starts at €2,200 for the 256GB variant, a whopping €300 jump from its predecessor. This significant increase seems unjustified considering the lack of groundbreaking upgrades in the Fold 6.
The Flip 6, on the other hand, seems to have a more reasonable €130 price bump. This could be attributed to its confirmed hardware upgrades, including a 12GB RAM boost, a new 50MP primary rear camera, and a larger 4,000mAh battery.
While pre-reservations for both foldables are already open with a $50 incentive, it’s advisable to wait for official pricing before committing. The leaked prices, if accurate, might make these devices a tough sell. Consider waiting for potential discounts on the 2023 models or exploring options from competing brands in the ever-growing foldable market.
