Samsung has dramatically increased this premium price for smartphones this year and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was by no means an exception. But information obtained by Roland Quandt suggests that Samsung is actually planning a price drop for its next foldable.
A little cheaper than the original Galaxy Fold
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will presumably retail for € 1,999 in Germany when it goes on sale at the end of September. That’s still an extremely high price point, but it represents a € 100 discount on the first generation model. Because of the different tax rates, Roland Quandt warns that the recommended retail price could again vary by as much as € 100 across the rest of Europe. That means some customers may find it cheaper, while others will have to spend a little more.
One solid 120Hz screen and a larger cover display
The South Korean company today announced a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, September 1st. It’s called ‘Unpacked Part 2’ and seems to focus mainly on the Galaxy Z Fold 2, although some other smartphones may make an appearance.
The display in question also has a resolution of 2208 x 1768p. And unlike recent Samsung flagships that can’t run 120Hz above 1080p, the Fold 2 will presumably be able to run at full resolution and 120Hz at the same time.
