Samsung Galaxy Watch 4, Galaxy Buds 2 and foldable prices published by retailer – but are they right?
“Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Buds 2 at the August 2021 Unpacked event. We’ve got all the details you need to know about with our hands on reviews“
An eagle-eyed Redditor has spotted listings for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Buds 2 and Galaxy Watch 4 ahead of their reveal on August 11.
The listings, which at the time of writing are still live on the LambdaTek website, are a distinctly mixed bag, but it’s worth noting that they may well not be accurate. They could be out of date, speculation or placeholders – albeit oddly specific figures for the latter.
With that caveat out of the way, these are the listed (VAT-free) prices at the time of writing:
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (256GB) – €1673.21 (~$1970/£1439)
- Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 (512GB) – €1777.47 (~$2095/£1529)
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 (128GB) – €975.04 (~$1150/£839)
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 (256GB) – €1025.95 (~$1210/£880)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 40mm – €256.46 (~$300/£220)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 40mm (4G) – €298.17 (~$350/£255)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 44mm – €277.97 (~$327/£239)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 44mm (4G) – €318.38 (~$375/£275)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm – €256.46 (~$425/£309)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 42mm (4G) – €298.17 (~$470/£344)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm – €379.02 (~$447/£326)
- Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm (4G) – €419.46 (~$495/£360)
- Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 – €149.64 (~$176/£129)
We’ve listed the VAT-free prices because it makes it easier to compare to the American RRP of the last-generation models and, if accurate, they suggest that there’s some truth in the 20% price reduction rumour on the foldables front – but only for the Galaxy Z Flip 3.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3’s price of $1970 is barely distinguishable from the $1999 that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 launched at, but a $1150 Galaxy Z Flip 3 would be a big discount on the Z Flip 5G’s $1449 introductory price. Almost exactly 20%, in fact.
The Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, meanwhile, is slightly pricier than its predecessor overall. The Galaxy Watch 3 arrived at $399 for the 41mm model without 4G and $449 with. The larger 45mm model sold for $429 or $479 for 4G connectivity.
The non-Classic model will, as we understand it, be closer to the Galaxy Watch Active 2, which launched at $280 for the 40mm model and $299 for the 44mm version.
The Galaxy Buds 2’s $176 price tag would put them some way between the Galaxy Buds Plus ($150) and Galaxy Buds Pro ($199) which feels plausible, if a little expensive for a product that reportedly doesn’t include active noise cancellation (ANC).
