If Samsung is asked, fold is a cellular future. Of course, the company also has the most loss if the market does not go in that direction, which is why he invests a lot in making cellphones that can be folded more importantly. One important part of the strategy is to make phones more accessible to as many people as possible, which means providing a more affordable model. The plan seems to be in the work, according to several analysts, with a series of galaxy A reportedly present (through a notebook check). However, meanwhile, consumers must compete with a model that can be folded expensive for another year – and, in reality, Flip Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z can end a little more expensive than its predecessor.
There are two main obstacles that need to be overcome by phones that can be folded before it can be really considered as the mainstream, and both are interrelated. Durability is the main concern for interested buyers – and while repairs are made on the durability of the form factor, this improvement also tends to increase production costs and, as a result, retail prices.
The price is the second biggest obstacle because cellphones that can be folded significantly are more expensive than their unfolding colleagues. Even the cheaper Galaxy Z flip is only relatively cheaper than folds and still cost as much as upper class premium handset. While Samsung is expected to reduce prices down every year, it might not happen for 2022.
According to the Gizpaw technology blog, the initial price of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in Europe will be around € 1,864 or as low as € 1,849 ($ 1,890) for the 256GB base model. Even with lower numbers, however, it was still an increase of € 50 from last year’s launch price of € 1,799 ($ 1,840). The 512GB model might even have an increase of € 100, so people can only imagine how much the 1TB option is reported.
Galaxy Z Flip 4 does not deviate too far, fortunately with a smaller price increase. The Foldable Clamshell leaked to start € 1,079 ($ 1,103), an increase of € 30 from a tariff of € 1,049 ($ 1,072) last year. Like the Galaxy Z Fold, the price increases are doubled such as storage capacity. The highest 512GB capacity, which was only in this path, was marked at € 1,279 ($ 1,307).
There are various factors that affect the price, including the cost of the component itself, economic inflation, and more. Many of these factors may surpass most people, and they will only be able to compare the final prices with what they get in return. Judging by leaks, it will not be much compared to couples that can be folded last year, so some might find fewer interesting factors to really buy this year’s model. Apart from that view, Samsung seems to be very optimistic that he will be able to sell 15 million Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, up from 10 million reportedly sold for last year’s generation.
