The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Z Flip7 are reportedly just around the corner, so retailers are getting ready for the market release and putting up some preliminary listings. However, in order to prevent leaks, Samsung has started using codenames for its devices.
Listings from an Italian retailer
Unfortunately for Samsung, that didn’t prevent NieuweMobiel from identifying the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Z Flip7 on an Italian website, showing the prices for the 256 and 512GB versions of the Z Fold7 and the 512GB Z Flip7 configuration.
According to the listings, the Galaxy Z Fold7, codenamed Q7, will go for €2,227 in Italy and €2,309 for the beefier 512GB variant. Those prices include a 22% VAT in Italy. That’s a hefty €200 increase for both storage options.
The Z Flip7, codenamed B7, on the other hand, sees an around €100 hike for the 512GB flavor.
Although this seems like a solid leak, we take this sort of info with a healthy dose of skepticism. The price hikes seem a bit drastic, especially for the Z Fold7.
Then again, if the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE price rumors are true, then Samsung will likely justify the price increase by providing a more affordable foldable alternative this year.
