Galaxy Z Fold 7: As Samsung readies its next premium foldables, buyers may be in for a surprise. While most flagships are becoming increasingly pricey, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 may be an exception. But there’s a tiny catch that buyers should know about.
Prices Will Remain Stable in Most Markets
Based on popular tipster PandaFlashPro, Samsung intends to maintain the prices of its new foldables unchanged from last year, except for a few select markets. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 would be priced from $1,099, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 would start at $1,899. Although this is wonderful news for customers in markets such as the US, some chosen markets can expect minor price increases.
North America Expected to Witness No Price Adjustment
Because the leaked prices are quoted in US dollars, likely, North American customers will not notice any price variation. Samsung seems to be keeping its pricing policy unchanged in one of its largest markets, which may prove a wise decision in order to preserve its competitive advantage. But precise pricing details in other markets around the world are not yet revealed and may fluctuate as per tax rates and import tariffs.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Camera Configuration Appears Promising
The leak also revealed some exciting information regarding the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s camera setup on the back. The phone will have a triple-camera setup with a primary sensor, an ultra-wide-angle lens with 0.6x zoom, and a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Apart from this, the primary sensor could offer 2x optical quality zoom, making the camera experience even better.
Real-Life Photos Confirm 200MP Sensor
Recently leaked real-world photos of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 seem to verify a robust 200MP primary sensor. This would represent a serious improvement in camera capabilities for Samsung’s foldables, putting the Fold 7 on a par with some of the greatest camera phones money can buy.
Z Flip 7 Might Employ Exynos Chipset in the US
One of the biggest surprises is that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might be the first Samsung foldable to come to the US with an Exynos chipset. Samsung’s US phones have long come with Qualcomm processors. If this switch is true, it represents a significant change in the company’s chipset policy for its foldables.
Verdict: Smart Pricing With a Few Surprises
Samsung’s move to, for the most part, stick with current prices while bumping up major features indicates its commitment to remaining top dog in the foldables area. Although some markets will see a price increase, most consumers can enjoy superior features without a higher fee, at least short term.
