While there’s a lot to like about the best foldable phones, the one thing everyone can agree on is they’ve always been far too expensive. You’d hope prices would drop as technology advances and competition increases, or that cheaper models would be released with lesser specs. But none of this has happened, and according to Samsung you shouldn’t expect the Galaxy Z Fold range to go down that path anytime soon.
This was confirmed following the release of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, a larger foldable that’s only going on sale in South Korea — and at a much higher price tag than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. A Samsung official (via SamMobile) said that “Rather than considering it a premium product, it’s a product released to expand your options. You can choose according to your taste. As of now, we have no plans to release a separate product with a lower price.”
