As expected, Samsung announced its next Unpacked today. The big launch event will take place on July 10 in Paris, France. Leaks have already revealed what the company has in store. It will unveil new foldables, watches, earbuds, and more. As we wait for the event, a fresh leak has disclosed the alleged prices of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, along with their storage variants and color options.
Galaxy Z Fold 6 & Flip 6 prices leaked again, but they may not be accurate
A few weeks ago, we got word that Samsung will increase the prices of its next-gen foldables. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 were said to cost about $100 more than their respective predecessors in the US, putting their starting prices at $1,900 and $1,100. The latest leak now gives us European prices of the upcoming foldables. Unsurprisingly, Samsung is charging more in Europe too.
However, before diving deeper, let us tell you that the alleged prices seem a little off. The report says the new Fold will see a price jump of a whopping €300 across the board. This may not be true. The upcoming book-style foldable doesn’t have anything that warrants such a massive price hike. The Flip’s reported price hike of €130 is more reasonable, but we’d still advise you to take this information with some caution.
This being said, let us break down the prices. Samsung will reportedly price the 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 6 at €2,200 in Europe, up €300 from €1,900. Likewise, its 512GB storage model costs €2,330 instead of €2,040 and the 1TB model costs €2,580 instead of €2,280. All three storage variants will have 12GB of RAM—there is no 16GB RAM option for the phone. Color options include Silver, Pink, and Navy.
Coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, Samsung is upgrading it to 12GB RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options, priced at €1,330 and €1,450, respectively. These prices are €130 more than the Flip 5’s €1,199 and €1,319. The device has more notable hardware upgrades—RAM boost, new primary rear camera (50MP), and bigger battery (4,000mAh)—so this price hike may be justified. It comes in Blue, Mint, and Silver Shadow colors.
You can already pre-reserve the upcoming foldables
Samsung has already started accepting pre-reservations for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. You can reserve either foldable before July 10 to get a $50 credit that you can redeem on Samsung’s online store when purchasing the device. However, if the leaked prices are accurate, the foldable duo could be a tough buy. You might be better off picking up the 2023 model at a discount, or perhaps grabbing one from some other brand. The foldable market has no shortage of options.
