Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 Series Anticipated to Be Priced Higher Than Previous Models

New rumors suggest that the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8 series may come with higher price tags than its predecessors. The company is expected to unveil its next-generation foldable devices next month.

According to sources from European and Asian sales channels, the starting prices for the Galaxy Z Fold8, Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, and Galaxy Z Flip8 are set to increase.

The rumored price increase is attributed to both internal and external factors. Although not explicitly mentioned in the leak, it is likely that the ongoing rise in RAM and other component costs is contributing to the higher prices.

It is also reported that the manufacturing costs of the upcoming foldables have risen, although the exact figures are still being determined. Recent reports from May indicated that Samsung might increase prices for certain models in Europe.

Additionally, there are rumors that Apple is also contemplating raising prices for its upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup due to rising costs of RAM and storage components.

Sources suggest that Samsung’s new wide-screen foldable will be named the Galaxy Z Fold8, while the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra is anticipated to succeed the current Galaxy Z Fold7.
