Galaxy Z Fold 6 Price Hike: Innovation or Inflation?

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold lineup has maintained a consistent price point in recent years, with the Fold 3, Fold 4, and Fold 5 all priced at $1,799. This marked a decrease from the initial Galaxy Fold's price of $1,980 and the Galaxy Z Fold 2's price of $1,999. However, it seems the trend is reversing. Reports suggest that Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 6 at a starting price of $1,899.99 for the base 256GB model in the US. This represents a $100 increase from the previous year.

The price hike extends to other storage variants as well. The 512GB model is rumored to be priced at $2,019.99, while the top-tier 1TB option will reportedly cost $2,259.99. This move is surprising, considering that Samsung's competitors have been steadily reducing the price of foldable devices. However, it's worth noting that these prices are specific to the US market, and prices may differ in other regions.

In addition to the price details, reports also indicate that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will be available in three primary colors: Navy, "Silver Shadow," and Pink. Similar to previous models, Samsung is also expected to offer exclusive colors through its online store. What are your thoughts on a more expensive Galaxy Z Fold 6?
