The sky-high price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 just got even higher for some models.
The premium book-style foldable, which debuted last summer, starts at $2,000 for 256GB of storage. That much hasn’t changed. What has apparently changed is the price of the phone at higher storage levels.
As 9to5Google reported on Thursday, Samsung has quietly hiked the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with 1TB of storage from $2,420 to $2,500. It also raised the ticket price of its 512GB variant from around $2,120 to $2,200 — though it’s on sale right now for $2,080.
The rises come amid a memory shortage that’s spiking the cost of components for phones and computers. Smartphone sales are expected to plummet by around 13% this year as a result.
