Samsung Plans Affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 to Boost Market Share

Move aims to attract consumers deterred by high price tags of foldable phones, but potential compromises remain unclear.

Samsung is reportedly planning to introduce a more affordable version of its Galaxy Z Fold 6, aiming to increase its market share in the foldable phone sector.
Despite being a pioneer in the foldable phone market, Samsung currently ranks third in China, where competitors like Xiaomi, Honor, and Huawei offer more affordable foldable devices.
The new affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6 could potentially be thinner and have a different aspect ratio, though no major leaks have confirmed these features yet.
Samsung's move to offer a cheaper foldable device aims to attract more consumers who are interested in the foldable form factor but have been deterred by the high price tags.
It remains unclear what compromises Samsung might make to lower the price of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and whether the cheaper model might cannibalize sales of Samsung's premium foldable devices.
