Samsung has launched its lightest and largest foldable phone to date, but many looking to adopt the form factor will find it in a more affordable price range than the £1,799 Samsung demands for a brand new Z Fold 6. We hope to offer this mobile version in .

Despite rumors that a more affordable version could arrive throughout 2024, Samsung has opted for a better version, choosing to sell it only in South Korea and China.
The company has now admitted that it has no plans to jump into more affordable territory, at least when it comes to the Z Fold series – the Z Flip series is cheaper.
SamMobile reports that a Samsung Electronics official said the following. [the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition] Premium products are products released to expand your options. You can choose according to your preference. At this time, we have no plans to release another product at a lower price. ”
So that’s it. Even with increasing competition from the likes of Honor Magic V3, Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, and Motorola Razr Ultra 50, Samsung doesn’t seem to be planning to lower the price of its premium folding series.
Our reviewers currently rank the Honor Magic V3 as the best book-style foldable, calling it surprisingly thin and light, featuring improved durability, an inner display with almost no creases, and easy all-day use. We praise the usable battery life.
This model is also only slightly cheaper than Samsung’s, starting at £1,699. Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold, on the other hand, starts at £1,749.
For a company that has invested heavily in developing great foldable displays, there doesn’t seem to be much competition to get to the middle of the market.
