According to a post on South Korean forum Naver, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 will be priced between 1.9 million South Korean won (S$2237.99) and 1.99 million won. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 is said to be priced between 1.2 million won and 1.28 million won.
To put these numbers into context, the launch prices of the Galaxy Z Fold2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G are $2,888 and $1,998 respectively. These could be a price drop of nearly $600 and $400 respectively for the new foldable phones!
SamMobile first reported on the lower price points in June; it claims that the new foldable phones could be priced up to 20 per cent cheaper! The more affordable price points could help Samsung achieve its 7-million sales target for foldable phones this year.
