Samsung could reduce Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 price by $75 (₩100,000)
Samsung is preparing to hold its next Unpacked event in late July to unveil foldable phones. No doubt, both are going to be pricey phones, but Samsung may slap a $75 (₩100,000) price reduction on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5 this year.
According to rumor, Samsung could reduce the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 price by $75 (₩100,000). The lineup is expected to get unveiled in the fourth week of July this year, while the price reduction probably happening because of application processor costs.
Tipster @Tech_Reve claims that the application processor accounts for about 10-20% of the total cost depending on the product. The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s application processor’s cost was $140, while the typical price for premium APs is usually around $80.
Compared to the first quarter of last year, the South Korean tech giant’s expenditure on APs saw a 20% decline in prices in the same duration this year. This would result in a price cut for both upcoming foldable phones, making them more accessible.
There is a possibility that the launch price of Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, which will be unveiled at the end of July, will be reduced by about ₩100,000 compared to their predecessors.
As a background for such possible price reduction, one can mention the decrease AP

Recently, it was reported that the Galaxy Z Fold 5’s droplet (waterdrop) hinge mold will be shared with Samsung within a week. Accordingly, the company will begin the internal durability testing to greenlit the mass production of products prior to release.
Samsung is pushing for a plan to hold the next Galaxy Unpacked event to unveil its Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 foldable phones at COEX, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on July 26. Notably, it’s going to be the first foldable phone Unpacked to be held in Korea.
Yesterday, we saw the Samsung Galaxy S24 series renders that revealed the phones’ design. While the Galaxy S24 and S24+ feature flat frame design, the S24 Ultra apparently brings the narrowest bezel in history. The same source now posted cropped images so you can better understand the design changes.
Samsung has slightly changed the aspect ratio of the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This results in changes in the middle frame, and ditches the curved edges, indicating a flat display design. In the video below, you can see the transformation of the S23 Ultra into the upcoming S24 Ultra device.

As you can see in the comparison renders, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has an almost flat design as compared to its predecessor. The company has already reduced the curvature with the S23 Ultra this year, and it’s going to be flat, starting with the S24 Ultra next year.
And yeah, #GalaxyS24Ultra display is definitely less curved compared to #GalaxyS23Ultra display… pic.twitter.com/0kBqBMxaRe
