Samsung has taken the initiative of making foldable smartphones mainstream and the South Korean giant has been focusing on launching new foldable phones in the market. While most of the smartphone makers are yet to launch a foldable smartphone, Samsung is gearing up to launch the third generation.
The company has been working on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 smartphones and plenty of details about these two devices have already leaked. Now, a new report reveals the phone’s pricing in Samsung’s home market — South Korea.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 is said to cost between KRW 1,900,000 and KRW 1,999,000 which is between $1,655 and $1,741. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is likely to be priced between KRW 1,200,000 and KRW 1,280,000 which is roughly between $1,045 to $1,110.
This is in line with the previous report about the newer foldable smartphones from Samsung to cost 20 percent less compared to the previous generation models. For reference, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 costed KRW 2,398,000 ($2,088) in Korea while the Galaxy Z Flip started at KRW 1,650,000, about $1,435.
As we noted, Samsung is actively trying to push foldable smartphones and in line with that, the South Korean giant is also expected to have a trade-in offer, allowing users to exchange their old devices and upgrade to the new foldable phones, bringing down the cost of the new phones.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 was recently spotted on TENAA and MIIT, revealing that the phone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset and pack a 4,500mAh battery. It will also feature two displays, including a large primary screen of 7.5-inch and an external display of 6.2-inch on the outer side. It is expected to have 25W fast charging support and run Android 11 with One UI custom user interface on top.
On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 is rumored to have a 6.7-inch main Super AMOLED display with a 25:9 aspect ratio and a 1.9-inch cover screen. There will also be an under-display fingerprint sensor.
The phone is expected to have a flagship-grade chipset, coupled with 8GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage. It will feature a 10-megapixel front camera and a 12-megapixel + 12-megapixel dual rear camera system. The device will pack a 3,300mAh battery and have 15W charging support. To know for sure what the devices pack and how much they cost, we will have to wait for the official launch, which is likely to happen on 11th August.
