As Samsung prepares to launch the Galaxy Z Fold2, the big question is, how much will it cost?
The company may have let the cat out of the bag when its UK website briefly added a £ 1,799 price tag to the foldable phone on Thursday. It was removed after journalists found out.

When converted to US currency, £ 1,799 is $ 2,398, far more than the $ 1,980 (£ 1,483) cost of the original Galaxy Fold. However, it is unlikely to be the US price of the Z Fold2, as last year’s Galaxy Fold launched in the UK for £ 1,900, suggesting that Samsung will make its second-gen phone cheaper than the one. original.
Still, most consumers in the US say they won’t pay more than $ 1,000 for a phone. So the Galaxy Z Fold2 is likely to only attract a niche crowd with the money to pay for the most advanced smartphone technology.
Last year’s Galaxy Fold was also a risky gamble; the product was initially delayed because it was surprisingly brittle. However, Samsung says it has improved the second-gen model with some durability improvements. The phone is also slimmer and comes with more screen real estate on its two screens.
Expect to hear more about the Galaxy Z Fold2 on Tuesday, September 1, when Samsung holds a special event dedicated to the upcoming phone. The company is likely to share the official price and also try to convince consumers that it is worth buying.
