The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to launch next year, and it may arrive with a surprising price tag. What’s the surprise? Well, according to a well-known tipster, the device will cost the same as the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
This suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will cost around $2,000. The information comes from Mauri QHD, who has a rather good track record when it comes to leaks.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will arrive with a surprising price tag, tipster claims
This is quite surprising, as the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to arrive with quite a few improvements. Needless to say, this is an extremely high price tag, still, but, considering the improvements, a higher price tag was expected.
First and foremost, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is rumored to feature the S Pen. Samsung is allegedly phasing out the Galaxy Note series, and the Z Fold series is supposed to take over. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to ship with the S Pen.
That’s not all, though. An under-display camera has also been mentioned in various reports. That has a lower probability to be true, but we’ll have to wait and see. The technology is available, though, it only remains to be seen if Samsung will use it.
On the flip side, some people were expecting the Galaxy Z Fold 3 to be more affordable than its predecessor. Well, it’s easy to see why that won’t happen, considering all the changes, and improvements.
Samsung probably wants to improve the quality of its foldable products even further, before balancing out the pricing. Foldables are still considerably more expensive to make than regular phones.
Prices of foldable smartphones will go down in the coming years
Prices are expected to go down in the coming years, though. The more foldables we see, and the more technology advances, the cheaper they’ll get, of course.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to arrive in H2 2021, probably in August or September, though some rumors suggested an earlier launch timeframe. We’ll see many more Galaxy Z Fold 3 rumors in the coming months.
