This is because according to a tweet by FrontTron, it seems that the price for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 3 could be priced between $999 to $1,099, with the maximum price said to be set at $1,199. While it still isn’t cheap, not by a long shot, it is a lot more affordable than the likes of the Galaxy Z Fold series which has been priced close to the $2,000 range.

In fact, Samsung’s foldables are actually cheaper in comparison to those sold by Huawei who priced theirs over the $2,000 mark. We imagine that over time with a higher degree of adoption, the price of the phones should eventually come down, but in the meantime, for those who are looking to be early adopters, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be your best bet in terms of affordability.
We can only hope that the rumors are true but until we get confirmation, don’t get your hopes up just yet.
