The Galaxy Z Flip 6 could see a price increase

We’re all gearing up for the next Galaxy Unpacked event where we’re going to see Samsung’s latest foldable phones. Samsung has been able to keep the price of its clamshell foldable phone pretty reasonable, but that might change. According to a new report, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could get a price increase.

The price of tech is going up, and that is unfortunate for the people looking to get their hands on it. Over the past year or so, we’ve seen some companies try to reverse this trend by bringing down the price of the foldable phone. For example, devices like the Razr 2023, Tecno Phantom Flip, and ZTE Nubia Flip all undercut the Galaxy S Flip 5. So, we’re not sure what Samsung is going to do about the prices for its phones.

However, we are following rumors that the company is going to bring a more affordable phone under its FE branding. We’re going to have to see if the company will follow through.

The Galaxy Z Flip 6 could see a price increase

This is never good news to hear, but you’ll want to take it with a grain of salt. The report states that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 could see a price increase of $100 at least. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 (Review) started at $999, which is where it’s been for a while. That’s also the price that the Motorola Razr+ launched at.

However, according to the report, it looks like the 256GB model will start at $1,099 (INR 1,09,999 in India). If you want to double the storage, you’ll need to shell out a whopping $1,219 (INR 1,19,999 in India). Samsung’s foldable phones are great, but the competition is heating up in the market. More companies are unlocking the secrets of creating great foldable phones, and they’re pricing them competitively. The question is: if Samsung raises its prices, will it be able to weather the next wave of phones from competitors? It’s the most popular foldable phone company in the world, but it can only rest on its laurels for so old.

As for the rumored specs, we are sure that it’s going to use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC (or a specialized version for Galaxy phones). The screen could stay the same 6.7 inches, and we expect to see the same outer display at last year’s clamshell.

The major announcements to take place during the event are likely to revolve around AI. These phones will likely have additional Galaxy AI features that we didn’t see with the Galaxy S24 phones.
