Another tidbit we know about the alleged affordable Galaxy A-series foldable is the expected availability, which may not be so soon. According to the tipster, we can expect the foldable sometime between 2024 and 2025. At least when Samsung aimed to release…,” the tipster wrote on Twitter.
Considering the fact that the foldable belongs to the A-series, we can expect Samsung to price it lower than its premium foldable counterpart. To recall, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was launched at a starting price of $999, while the Galaxy Z Fold 3 starts at $1,799. If we had to guess, a $699 - $799 price range for the Samsung Galaxy Fold A seems likely.
Meanwhile, Samsung is gearing up to refresh its high-end foldable phones with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 which are expected to launch in August. While they might look a lot like their predecessors, a new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, improved cameras and displays, and more are expected.
As for the rumored affordable Galaxy Foldable, we don't know what it will look like. As you can already guess, we have plenty of time before we hear more leaks and rumors about this affordable Samsung foldable. We will update you when we find new leaks and rumors of this upcoming foldable phone, so stay tuned for updates.
