According to a new report coming in from the Korean media Naver, the upcoming clamshell foldable smartphone from Samsung won't be as cheap as we all are expecting. We hear some new speculations make rounds, suggesting the forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip to be priced somewhere around 1370.59 USD when we converted the indicated 1.6 Million South Korean Won. Even though it is now suspected to carry a price tag with numbers way more than the previous rumors, it's still cheaper than the original Galaxy Fold phablet. The new Galaxy Z Flip is expected to make it's official appearance on the February 11 at Samsung's scheduled Galaxy Unpacked Event from San Francisco, United States. We also learn that the upcoming event from the manufacturer will be the first stage for their new President and Head of Mobile Division, Roh Tae-moon. Here are the words from an industry official, that has been roughly translated from Korean.
It's a little over the price point that consumers are expecting, but it's cheap compared to the Galaxy Fold, this is because the total mass production is not much higher than the premium phone, it is competitive enough to sell in terms of scarcity.Source: Naver
