Affordable Samsung Foldables Unveiled: Prices Reduced for Widespread Accessibility
Samsung's fifth-gen foldables are still coveted devices, but their prices have remained high or even increased over the years. However, the mobile chief, TM Roh, has hinted at a shift in pricing strategy. Let's break it down!
A Budget-Friendly Z Flip Soon?
The Galaxy Z Fold 5, launching at ₹1,54,999, is the same price as the Z Fold 4, and a touch pricier than the Z Fold 3 5G. But there's hope for a cheaper foldable future. Samsung is reportedly eyeing to make foldables more affordable, aiming to challenge Apple's mainstream iPhone lineup.
Rumors suggest they're in talks with suppliers to reduce costs through more efficient production methods, bulk material sourcing, and economies of scale. This could lead to an affordable Galaxy Z Flip 5, priced lower than the first-gen Z Flip in India.
Foldables in High Demand
According to IDC and Counterpoint reports, the demand for folding phones is on the rise. With Apple's foldable iPhone expected in 2025, Samsung, a market leader, is eager to establish a fortress before the competition heats up. By offering a cheaper foldable, Samsung may aim to capture the mainstream iPhone market too.
Stay tuned to see how Samsung's new pricing strategy unfolds. Will it emerge as a serious competitor to iPhones in the US market? We're keeping our eyes on Samsung's moves!
Samsung may introduce an affordable Galaxy Z Flip 5, aiming to challenge Apple's mainstream iPhone lineup, as reportedly the company is discussing ways to reduce costs and improve production efficiency.
