The blogger suggested that this info may have come from an “internal sales channel announcement,” but didn’t provide any more details regarding the source. So we’d still recommend taking this latest pricing claim with a pinch of salt.
This rumored price would still be a significant premium over the already pricey Galaxy Z Fold 7, which costs ~$1,616 in Korea. However, this would be an easier pill to swallow than a near-$3,000 price tag.
In any event, the new Galaxy foldable is expected to have a 10-inch dual-folding screen, a 6.5-inch cover display, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and a ~5,600mAh battery. It’s also believed that the foldable could have the same rear camera setup as the Z Fold 7, namely a 200MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide lens, and 10MP 3x telephoto camera.
