A few weeks before the official presentation of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, some indiscretions evoke its potential price in Europe. If you were expecting a price drop like the previous model, it may be a cold shower.
While waiting for the official presentation of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4, new information is “leaking” on the web. We discover what could be the starting price of the cheapest folding smartphones from Samsung. Unlike last year, the Korean giant does not intend to cut prices, quite the contrary.
A price increase for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4?
We remember that last year, Samsung marketed its Galaxy Z Flip 3 at the recommended price of 1059 euros, or 500 euros less than the Galaxy Z Flip 2 when it was released! A very significant drop that has allowed the brand to make folding smartphones a little more accessible. For the Z Flip 4, the price should not drop, it should even increase if we are to believe the price comparison site pricebaba.
The merchant mentions a price in Europe of 1080 € for the basic version of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 with 128 GB of storage. If the information is confirmed during the presentation of the phone, it would be a “reasonable” increase of around 21 euros, but above the significant psychological price of 1000 euros.
If you feel a little cramped with 128 GB of storage, you will have to turn to the version with 256 GB of storage, the price of which could climb to 1160 € (1109 € currently for the Z Flip 3 with this capacity). A version with 512 GB would also be offered for the Z Flip 4, reaching the modest sum of 1280 euros. Remember that the Galaxy Z Flip 3 cannot accommodate a microSD card…
What technical characteristics for the Z Flip 4?
Given the international context, the shortage of semiconductors and rising prices, it is not really surprising to see Samsung pass on its costs to the end consumer. To justify this price, the Korean giant cannot only rely on the folding of its screen. Samsung will also have to equip its Z Flip 4 with high-end components.
Thus, we expect to find the latest Qualcomm processor that equips all premium smartphones at the end of the year: the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen1. Like its predecessor, the Z Flip 4 is said to have a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a secondary 1.9-inch screen to display information and act as feedback when taking selfies with the primary sensor.
Its big brother the Z Fold 4 will offer a larger screen as well as a higher price.

Still leader of the world smartphone market, Samsung is still lagging behind in the high-end segment where Apple reigns supreme. The Korean brand relies heavily on its folding phones to conquer new markets.
