According to the report, the Galaxy Fold 4 is expected to cost 1,800 euros ($1,834) for the base model, with the flagship 512GB model going up to 1,920 euros ($1,955). The Flip 4 is expected to range from 1,109 euros ($1,130) to 1,170 euros ($1,212). As for the smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 5 will start from 300 euros ($305) and go up to 380 euros ($387), with the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro from 470 euros ($478) to 500 euros ($509). Bearing in mind these conversions are exclusive of taxes and promotions,  these leaked prices are all more than the current retail prices for equivalent models, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip costing more 70 euros more than the Flip 3 for its base model. The Watch 5 Pro is hard to scale since it’s the first time Samsung is launching a “Pro” model, but it’s going to be 200 euros more than the base Galaxy Watch 4.

While Samsung was previously expected to reduce the pricing of the Galaxy Flip and Fold 4, these reports from the usually reliable Onleaks make a case for the opposite. We’ll see how these reports scale out in a few weeks when Samsung hosts its Unpacked event next week, August 10.

In other news, Samsung is also expected to move away from the Galaxy “Z” branding as reported by a leaker, SnoopyTech, on Twitter. While not intrinsic to the foldable which only acquired the branding from Fold 2 onwards, the invasion of Ukraine has been cited as a factor in this reversal of position. The letter Z has picked up a reputation in certain parts of Europe and has even been banned in some countries when used on its own. It would be logical for the company would be hoping to avoid any connotations, especially when it would be trivial to solve them. We have reached out to Samsung for comment on this, and will update if a response is forthcoming.

Samsung hints the next Galaxy Watch will focus on these three things

Plenty of companies hold quarterly earning calls but it's usually not the facts and figures revealed during these events that are the most exciting details. Samsung in particular usually drops a couple of hints as to what it is working on and its analyst call that followed the Q1 2025 earnings was no different. 

As picked up by Sammobile, Samsung revealed during its most recent earnings call that it is currently working on an AI-focused Galaxy Tab S11 lineup, as well as a redesigned Galaxy Watch.

Samsung had a rather rough start with the release of its heavily anticipated One UI 7 update. After a string of delays, the company finally started seeding the update for a handful of its flagship phones, but abruptly paused it, citing vague issues. Thankfully, the rollout is back on track. 

Updates tracker, Tarun Vats, shared on X that the stable One UI 7 update is now appearing for Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy S24 users in multiple regions across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the US.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Everything you need to know

Summer is fast approaching, and that means it won’t be long before we see Samsung’s new Galaxy Z Flip 7 make its debut. While the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a top-notch foldable, it also felt like Samsung phoned it in last year. That new model offered mostly modest improvements over the Z Flip 5, with the most significant ones being hidden under the hood, like thermal improvements, or generally underwhelming, like a larger cover screen that didn’t improve in any other meaningful way.

We’re hoping that Samsung does better with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 this year. The good news is that plenty of leaks and rumors suggest the company is on the right track to hit it out of the park in its seventh inning. Let’s dig in and go over everything we’ve heard so far about what to expect from Samsung’s flagship flip phone this year.
