The cost of Samsung's foldable phone? Almost $2,000, analyst says
The latest buzz on Samsung's rumored foldable phone? It may cost you the thick end of $2,000, if the latest analyst speculations are to be believed.
According to the Korea Times, analyst Park Hyung-woo from Shinhan Financial predicts initial parts supplies will start in November in time for a 2019 launch. And Kim Jang-yeol from Golden Bridge Investment speculates that the nonsubsidized price could be about 2 million won, which converts to about $1,850, £1,380 or AU$2,430.
Golden Bridge also says it will have a 7.3-inch OLED screen when open and 4.5 inches when folded, and that we'll be seeing behind-closed-doors prototypes during CES 2019. If that's true, it will likely be launched at Mobile World Congress in February 2019.
