Galaxy Fold series is officially a product line now dubbed Z Fold.
We’ve already seen the Z Fold 2, Z Fold 3, and Z Fold 4. Each iteration improved upon the previous one by adding water resistance, reducing the entry price, or adding small changes in screen usability by playing with the aspect ratios.
Obviously, we are expecting a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 to come out sometime in the second half of 2023. We are expecting it to be in August and the rumor mill is already rumbling with new info regarding Samsung’s next foldable.
So how much the next Samsung foldable phone will cost? When the original Z Fold launched, its price was well north of the $2,000 mark. Then the Galaxy Z Fold 2 came out with lots of much-needed improvements and a lower price.
Barely touching the $2,000 mark. The Z Fold 3 managed to drop the costs even more and came back with a $1,800 starting price. We did get a lot of rumors saying that Samsung trying to lower the price of the Z Fold 4 even further.
But with multiple crises going on in the world, shipping and chip supply being what they are, those plans did not come to be. In fact, we are lowkey relieved that the Z Fold 4 still managed to repeat that $1,799 starting price without going up.
So while we are hopeful that the Z Fold 5 may be a bit cheaper, it doesn’t seem that is likely. Making a high-quality foldable screen is still a tough and precise process. And with inflation spiraling further and further, we don’t see the Z Fold 5 coming at a cheaper price. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will cost you about $1,799. But hey, we’d love to be wrong on this. So stay tuned to get the latest news and updates about the next Samsung foldable phone.
