We asked, you told us: Not many of you would buy the Galaxy Fold at full price
August 13, 2025
Foldables may be the future of the smartphone, but it’s going to take a while before they become affordable to the masses. Just about every confirmed foldable phone costs nearly $2,000. TheSamsung Galaxy Foldcosts$1,980, theHUAWEI Mate Xis supposed to cost €2,229 ($2,448) when it comes to market, and Microsoft’s just-announcedSurface Duodoesn’t even have a price yet.
That’s whywe asked youif you’d buy the Galaxy Fold at full price, or if you’d buy it if it were available for closer to a “normal” flagship (~$1,000). I’m actually pretty surprised by the results.
How often do you make phone calls?
Out of 1,560 votes, just 7% of voters said they’d buy the Galaxy Fold at full price. A whopping 48% said they’d buy the device at “normal” flagship prices, while 40% said they’re not interested in the Galaxy Fold at all.
I’m surprised by that last number. I would have thought moreAndroid Authorityreaders would at least be interested in buying such a futuristic device, but maybe thosedisplay issueshurt the Fold’s reputation more than I thought.
