#price increase

In the lead-up to the big reveal, Samsung Romania let slip a minor hiccup: the price of the Galaxy Z Flip5 was accidentally leaked—apparently, with a hefty price hike. The document where they posted state the terms and conditions for the promotion, also happens to spill the price of the said devices to be given away. The price increase is RON 899 (or about PHP 11K in today’s conversion).

Thus, this may not accurately represent the actual amount of the price increase, presuming the document from Samsung Romania is to be believed. Nevertheless, given the rising prices of various consumer electronics, a price hike from Samsung, specifically in its foldables, is likely to be expected. The only problem is that the top-spec phones command a high price tag. It’s only an IPS LCD, but then again, we shouldn’t really expect AMOLED panels at this price point.
