Tech & AI | June 12, 2024, 9:44 a.m.

Samsung is reportedly raising the price for its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6, with the base model starting at $1,899.99 in the United States. This marks a $100 increase from the previous model and brings the cost of the 512GB and 1TB options to $2,019.99 and $2,259.99, respectively. This move comes as a surprise, considering the trend of decreasing prices in the foldable phone market. The Galaxy Fold lineup has seen consistent pricing in recent years, with previous models starting at $1,799. However, Samsung's decision to raise the price may indicate a shift in strategy. In addition to the price increase, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be available in three main color variants and potentially exclusive colors through Samsung's online store. It remains to be seen how consumers will react to the higher price tag for the latest foldable phone from Samsung.
