Samsung and Motorola just raised prices of old phones — and that's a terrifying prospect

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 shown in hand.

We all knew it was coming, but it seems that RAMageddon has finally come for our phones. Just days after Asus raised prices of the new Zenbook A14 and A16 at the last possible second, it seems Motorola and Samsung have done something similar. Both companies have taken the unprecedented move of raising the prices of phones that have already been released.

In Samsung's case, the company has raised the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's higher-storage variants. While the entry-level model with 256GB of storage is still the same $1,999, the 512GB and 1TB models have suffered an $80 price hike. Meaning you'll now have to pay $2,199 and $2,499, respectively.
