Foldable phones have always been among the most expensive smartphones, and if the latest pricing rumors for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 are anything to go by, they're only getting more expensive.
SmartPrix and @OnLeaks have shared what the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will apparently cost in the US, and across all storage capacities, it's $100 more than its predecessor. Specifically, the upcoming foldable device will supposedly start at $1,099.99 for 256GB of storage and is said to increase to $1,219.99 for 512GB.
Pricing for other regions isn't included in the new leak, but if the US pair's information is accurate, we're guessing there could be a similar £100 price increase on UK versions of the phone too, which could mean prices. from £1,149 and £1,249 for 256GB and 512GB respectively.
Applying the same increases to Australia, we could see the Galaxy Z Flip 6 costing AU$1,799 for the 256GB version and AU$1,999 for the 512GB version. Of course, these latest figures are just guesses, but if the price of the next phone is Although it is expected to increase in the United States, it will almost certainly increase elsewhere as well.
Based on the specs included in this leak, you might not get much more for your money either. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is said to have the same storage capacity as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5, the same 6.7-inch foldable display, and an identical weight of 187g.
Meanwhile, the colors of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 are said to include Mint, Silver Shadow, Yellow and Blue, which are shades we've heard before and which, according to previous leaks, will likely be joined by Crafted Black, Peach. and White, if you buy the phone in the Samsung online store.
However, according to previous leaks, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will likely have a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 50MP camera instead of a 12MP one, and possibly a larger clamshell display and battery. The latter would surely increase the weight of the phone, which contradicts this most recent weight leak.
From flipping to folding
SmartPrix and @OnLeaks have also leaked US pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Essentially, we're seeing the same $100 increase there, with the 256GB model reportedly at $1,899.99, the 512 GB at $2019.99 and apparently the 1TB version. being $2,259.99.
Using the same basic calculations we did with the Galaxy Z Flip 6, we predict the 256GB model could cost around £1,849/AU$2,749, the 512GB could cost around £1,949/AU$2,949, and the 512GB version could cost around £1,949/AU$2,949. 1TB could sell for £2,149 / AU$3,299. But again, those are just guesses based on how US prices often affect prices in other regions.
The source also claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have a 7.6-inch foldable display like its predecessor, but will weigh slightly less at 239g (up from 253g), and will be sold in Navy Blue, Silver Shadow and Pink. .
As with the Z Flip 6, we've seen those Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 colors leaked before, and based on previous leaks, there may also be Crafted Black and White shades available on Samsung's online store. As for actual updates this year, the big one we've heard about in previous leaks is simply a new Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, so a $100 price increase could make the new foldable device difficult to buy. sell.
Of course, we'd take these leaks with a pinch of salt, but they come from a reliable source. In any case, we should know official prices and specifications soon, as most signs point to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 landing in July, possibly on July 10.
