The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G's high price has leaked
###
Samsung has raised its premium smartphone prices dramatically this year and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was presumed to be no exception. But information obtained by Roland Quandt suggests Samsung is actually planning a price drop for its next foldable.
Slightly cheaper than the original Galaxy Fold
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will reportedly retail at €1,999 in Germany when it’s made available to purchase in late September. That’s still an extremely high price point, but it represents a €100 discount over the first-generation model.Due to 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 be able to find it cheaper while others could have to spend a little more.
Those of you living in the UK will have to fork out £1,799 for the 256GB variant according to the local Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 pre-order page, which may have been prematurely activated. It represents a £101 discount over the original Galaxy Fold.
One massive 120Hz screen and a bigger cover display
The South Korean company today announced a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, September 1. It’s being called ‘Unpacked Part 2’ and looks set to focus primarily on the Galaxy Z Fold 2, although some other smartphones could make an appearance.
The display in question boasts a 2208 x 1768p resolution too. And unlike recent Samsung flagships that can’t run 120Hz above 1080p, the Fold 2 will reportedly be able to run at full resolution and 120Hz simultaneously.
Sitting alongside all of this is an extra-tall 6.2-inch cover display. It also sports a punch hole for the selfie camera and should be much more useful than the one included on the original Galaxy Fold, which measured in at only 4.6-inches.
