While there are a ton of improvements coming to this next generation, that decision feels fair, as the Fold 6\u2019s price increase didn\u2019t really feel earned based on the competition. It remains to be seen if this is true, though, as a previous retail leak <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/06\/24\/samsung-briefly-confirms-galaxy-z-fold-7-and-flip-7-colors-as-pricing-breaks-cover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggested a considerable price bump.<\/a> In Germany, the price would be \u20ac1,999, the same starting price <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20250124122636\/https:\/\/www.samsung.com\/de\/smartphones\/galaxy-z-fold6\/buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">as last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Galaxy Z Flip 7, meanwhile, might see a price decrease should this leak prove to be true. The report claims a starting price of \u20ac1,099, down from \u20ac1,199. It\u2019s hard to say if that will directly translate in the US where the current price is $1,099, but it\u2019s good news for customers in Europe nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, this report also hints at a more expensive Galaxy Watch 8. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) will reportedly stick at its same \u20ac699 price in Germany ($649 in US), but the Galaxy Watch 8 series will see a price bump. In particular, the base Galaxy Watch 8 will see a \u201c\u20ac40-50\u201d jump, a change attributed to the doubling of internal storage among other upgrades. Similarly, Galaxy Watch 8 Classic may cost \u20ac500, up from \u20ac449 on the prior Classic release.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, it\u2019s hard to see if these would directly translate in other regions. Currently, Galaxy Watch 7 starts at $299.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung\u2019s launch event is scheduled for July 9.<\/p>\n<p>More on Samsung:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Follow Ben:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4jF54XN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-659393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Banner-2-dbrand-9to5-dbrand-S25U-ghost-banner.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"205\"\/><\/a>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung has some price changes in mind for its next smartwatch and foldable series, with an unexpected price&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222231,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3160],"tags":[1685,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-222230","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gadgets","8":"tag-gadgets","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=222230"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/222230\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/222231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=222230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=222230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
