Overview
- Samsung increased the Galaxy Z Fold 7 price by $80 on the 512GB and 1TB models in the U.S., lifting them to $2,199.99 and $2,499.99 while the 256GB version stays at $1,999.99.
- Similar price moves have appeared in South Korea, where the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 now cost more and the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to be pricier on higher-capacity versions, according to local reporting.
- India has logged multiple 2026 hikes across select Galaxy phones, with A-series models targeted and the new Galaxy A57 launched at $549.99 versus last year’s A56 at $499.99.
- Samsung has linked the changes to a global shortage of DRAM and NAND memory and currency swings, and co-CEO TM Roh earlier warned that price rises were inevitable.
- Retail prices vary by channel as Amazon still lists the Z Fold 7 512GB at the old price and discounts the 256GB model, which creates short-term deals but also buyer confusion.
