Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is finally being sold in select markets across the globe. After the initial delays in its release, the foldable started selling in South Korea, and will soon be sold in the U.S. and India as well. But being a first-generation device, the Fold is incredible expensive starting at near $2000. But those who were hoping for something cheaper, we might have some good news.
According to SamMobile, Samsung is currently working on a slightly cheaper version of the Galaxy Fold. Not only that, this new device is said to have a wider global release. The same report further adds that Samsung could equip the new device with 256GB storage instead of 512GB to keep the pricing lower. Also, it could come bearing the model number SM-F700F.
Releasing a cheaper foldable makes sense. With the current Galaxy Fold, Samsung is likely testing the reception for a new generation foldable design. And despite the initial issues, the phone looks to be doing well in markets like South Korea and the U.S. A cheaper device with a wider release would be the ideal next step for Samsung to make this new generation design available to a much large audience.
