According to the tipster’s X post, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be priced between Rs. 175000 to Rs. 179,000 in India. This showcases a significant increase in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s Rs.149999 price tag. Well, this is not the first time we have heard about the price hike, as it was earlier reported for France. As far as the clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is concerned, no price has been reported so far, and it is expected to launch at a similar price to its predecessor despite the major design upgrades.
Considering the pricing, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the upcoming Vivo X Fold 5 will be in a similar league in terms of feature pricing. Given the leaks, Vivo is also reported to bring several enhancements and upgrades that may sway buyers towards buying. Additionally, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 price hike, buyers may also tend towards buying the Vivo X Fold 5, if its price remains considerable. Since the prices are not official from Samsung, we will have to wait until launch to confirm the pricing.
