How much is it worth to you to be able to sketch something out on an expansive smartphone display and then tag in generative AI to turn that drawing into something more polished and stylized? Samsung is betting that it's a lot, and it's priced its new AI-powered foldable phones accordingly.
That's the only way I can think to explain what Samsung is charging for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 unveiled at last week's Galaxy Unpacked event. Both phones feature the kind of hardware changes that would be considered modest by even the most generous assessments, and yet each one costs $100 more than its predecessor. Considering Samsung's foldables weren't necessarily bargains to begin with, that's a pretty substantial price hike.
