Samsung’s plan for cheap foldables next year
TrendForce recently reported that Samsung is working on releasing cheaper foldables. The price tag of a new Samsung foldable is expected to be between $400 and $500, according to a tipster. This aggressive pricing is surprising, but possible. It could be a clamshell foldable, similar to the Motorola Razr 40, with features and components adjusted to meet this lower price point. Samsung may have to make some compromises to achieve this, such as offering an inferior chip and making display concessions.
