Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 Indian price could be higher than last year

Samsung is about to reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 pricing in India today during the live purchase event from 6 PM IST. However, looking at the old price and the weakened dollar-rupee situation, we might speculate on the price of these foldables ahead of the launch. 

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Flip 4 price in India

On August 24, 2021, when the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip were launched, one USD was equivalent to Rs. 74.14. While the Fold 3 was launched in the United States for $1,799, it was launched in India for Rs. 1,49,999, about 12% higher than the direct currency conversion. This year, Samsung has maintained Galaxy Z Fold 4 with the launch price of $1,799, but the dollar-rupee conversion rate is close to Rs. 80, about eight per cent higher than last year.

Hence, it only makes sense that Samsung India will launch the new folding phones for a higher price than last year. Speculating with the currency conversion in mind, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 could be priced around Rs. 1,60,000 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 could be priced around Rs. 90,000 to Rs. 95,000.
