Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 leaked prices are bad news for Samsung fans
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are just a few weeks away according to the latest report, which means it's time for those juicy details about these highly-anticipated foldables. Yep, we're talking about pricing options.
As Samsung's most expensive phones, the Galaxy Z series doesn't sell more units than the company's Galaxy S lineup. Unfortunately, Samsung seems to make it increasingly difficult for its fans to grab one of its foldables, at least at launch. A new report that leaks the prices of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in Europe, suggests both foldables will be more expensive than their predecessors. Although we're talking about European prices, which include a high VAT, something that does not apply in the US, we're still looking at a nearly 10% percent price increase.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 prices :
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (256 GB): €2.225
(256 GB): €2.225 Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 (512 GB): €2.310
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 prices :
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512 GB): €1.425
Just to put these leaked prices into perspective, the Galaxy Z Fold 6's retail price was €2.000, while the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was available for purchase for around €1.320 at launch.

Based on the leaked information, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will be €200 and €100, respectively, more expensive than their predecessors. These figures have been taken from an Italian retailer's database, so it's unclear if these will actually be the final prices for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 .Best case scenario, Samsung will not increase the prices of its new foldables, and customers will be able to pick them up for the amounts we know from last year.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will be available in 256 GB and 512 GB models. As far as the hues go, the former will come in two colors – Silver Shadow and Jet Black, while the latter will be available in Black, Blue Shadow, and Coral Red.
Samsung has already started teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7, but it didn't confirm when the phone will be announced. However, reputable leaker Evan Blass claims Samsung will introduce both foldables on July 9. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

I think we can all see where the iPhone 17 Air is headed
*Image credit — Majin Bu This year, major phone manufacturers Apple and Samsung have decided to introduce new models to their flagship smartphones. As if the yearly slimming down of phones wasn't enough, we now have the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, and the currently available Galaxy S25 Edge. Both are phones that aim to provide users with a super slim chassis while retaining flagship as it turns out, not many people are interested in such a thing. The Galaxy S25 Edge isn't selling, prompting Samsung to cut down on production. And, if this is anything to go by, then I bet that Apple is in a panic right about now. The iPhone 17 Air is too slim to pack much juice. | Image credit — Majin Bu The biggest problem with both of these phones is the fact that they are limited by today's technology. Apple and Samsung, in particular, are quite slow to adopt emerging innovations and often trail behind their competitors. According to all of the reports that have come out on the iPhone 17 Air , it will be an expensive phone with less powerful hardware and a tiny battery: 2,800 mAh. If that sounds ridiculous to you, don't worry, you're not alone. Apple is aware that such a small battery is grounds for an awful user experience. As such, the company has introduced AI-powered battery saving in the hopes that the iPhone 17 Air will at least have passable battery life. However, if the Galaxy S25 Edge is any indication, then the iPhone 17 Air will cost around the same as the iPhone 17 Pro. And the only people who'd choose the Air are either users that desperately want something new, or people with very small pockets. All in all, this was not the time for Samsung and Apple to try out super slim phones. Especially when both companies have still not begun using newer, denser batteries. Funnily enough, the iPhone 17 Air is actually supposed to replace the iPhone Plus models. The Plus remains the worst-selling iPhone model, and Apple was hoping that the Air would be more successful. However, the Plus models themselves were a replacement for the iPhone mini. The mini models also had the same problem: they sold poorly. If the iPhone 17 Air also flops, then we might be allowed to say that Apple's 'extra' model each year is cursed, kind of like the Defense Against the Dark Arts position in Harry Potter. Furthermore, if this phone doesn't sell well either, it might be the shortest-lived iPhone model ever. Apple may return to the drawing board for the iPhone 18 series next year, because it would want a successful lineup for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone in 2027. Apple Intelligence may be complete next year. Maybe. | Video credit — Apple Now, I'm not normally one to advocate waiting for the next iteration of a product line, because then you just keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting forever. But 2026 may actually be a much more interesting year for the iPhone. For starters, it's seeming very likely now that the mythical foldable iPhone will come out next year. In addition, Apple Intelligence — the company's incomplete suite of AI tools — may finally be complete by the time the iPhone 18 rolls around. There's also multiple reports that the iPhone 18 will have a punch hole instead of the Dynamic Island. I, personally, don't like that, and think that Apple is losing its identity with the iPhone 18. But the iPhone 17 this year will also feature a redesigned exterior, so pick your poison. I just really think that the iPhone 17 Air is destined for failure, even if I actually quite like its design. If it were up to me, I'd just wait till 2027. That's the year when everything changes. Apple will unveil a new iPhone Pro model, one with no cutouts or holes on the display. But if you absolutely need a new iPhone soon, then 2026 should suffice. Or, you could just go for the base model iPhone 17 this year, which is going to look like the base model iPhone 16.

Samsung could produce cutting-edge chips in the U.S. two years before TSMC
At the start of this year, we told you that the world's largest foundry, TSMC, is expected to manufacture chips using its 2nm process node in the United States by 2028. The foundry's Arizona facilities will produce the cutting-edge chips and even though TSMC is going to be shipping 2nm silicon from its Taiwan fabs during the second half of this year or early next year, it will still be quite the feather in President Donald Trump's hat to have 2nm chips made in the states just 2 years after they are launched in Taiwan. In that same report from back in January, we also noted that TSMC won't be the only foundry to build 2nm chips in the States. Samsung will also be producing 2nm chips in the U.S. as the company hopes to join TSMC in taking advantage of President Trump's desire to have cutting-edge semiconductors built in the U.S. along with major consumer electronics like the iPhone. The article we published in January said that Samsung was building a fab for advanced chip production in Taylor, Texas. Now, five months later, Samsung has started preparing production lines at the Taylor facility. We could see 2nm chips roll off the line in Taylor starting next January or February which would be two years ahead of TSMC's 2028 target for 2nm production in the U.S. There has been plenty of interest from tech firms interested in buying U.S.-made advanced chipsets, especially in light of the tariffs imposed by President Trump. Semiconductors built in the U.S. would not be subject to tariffs which are simply import taxes placed on products imported into the U.S. Even with a head start as long as two years over TSMC's U.S. 2nm production, Samsung Foundry must get its yield up. | Image credit-RetailNewsAsia Globally, Samsung Foundry is well behind TSMC in global market share and part of the reason is Samsung Foundry's poor yields on advanced process nodes which drives up the prices customers pay for the chips they purchase. Samsung's plans originally called for it to produce 4nm chips in the U.S. at first. Despite spending heavily on the project, the Korean firm didn't manufacture one 4nm chip in the U.S. which has many questioning whether Samsung can build 2nm chips in the U.S. As it always seems to be when discussing Samsung Foundry, the Foundry's yield is key. Supposedly, Samsung has achieved a 40% yield with its SF2 (2nm) production compared to 60% for TSMC. Typically a yield of 70% or higher is needed to start mass production so while Samsung hopes that it can take advantage of the two-year head start it will have producing 2nm chips in America, the story remains the same: Samsung needs to get its yield up so that it can start mass production at the 2nm node in the U.S. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
