Samsung’s next-gen Galaxy foldables are still a few weeks away, but there have been many leaks. Samsung is even taking early reservations for the phones. The pricing of the phones has been a mystery, but a French publication has leaked the local pricing for the two foldables
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will start at €1,200 for the 256GB model, which is a modest price hike of €30 from the Galaxy Z Flip 4. The 512GB model will cost €1,250, which is €50 more than the Galaxy Z Flip 4. This is not as bad as an earlier leak, which priced the 128GB model at €1,300.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will start at €1,899 for the 256GB model, which is a €100 price hike from the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The 512GB model will cost €2,039, and the 1TB model will cost €2,279. These price hikes are likely due to the rising cost of components.
