Samsung's new foldable phone lineup, including the anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 series, is poised for a price hike in the European market. Leaked information from German IT outlet Winfuture, citing Roland Quandt, reveals the expected retail prices based on supply chain data.

The successor to the Galaxy Z Fold series, the 'Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra,' is projected to see its base 256GB model increase by 100 euros, reaching 2199 euros (approximately 3.83 million Korean won). Higher storage variants will experience even greater increases: the 512GB model is set to rise by 180 euros, and the 1TB model by 280 euros. Consequently, the 1TB version could cost as much as 2799 euros, nearing 4.88 million Korean won, almost reaching the 5 million won mark.

The 'Galaxy Z Fold 8,' featuring a wider 'wide fold' form factor, will also be subject to price adjustments. Its pricing is set at 1999 euros for the 256GB model, 2199 euros for the 512GB model, and 2599 euros for the 1TB model.

Details regarding the 'Galaxy Z Flip 8,' a clamshell-style foldable phone, were also partially disclosed, indicating potential price changes for this model as well.
