Update, September 6, 2019 (07:21 AM ET): Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Fold will re-debut in South Korea on September 6 and hit U.S. shores in the “coming weeks.” The news comes ahead of Samsung’s IFA 2019 showcase and alongside further rumors that the foldable phone will go on sale in the U.S. on September 27, as per a Bloomberg report, with France, Germany, Singapore and the U.K. to follow.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold is the first foldable phone with a flexible screen from the world’s largest smartphone maker. When in closed smartphone mode, it has a 4.6-inch external screen, but when you fold it out, it turns into a 7.3-inch tablet, thanks to Samsung’s own Infinity Flex display.
So, how much is the Samsung Galaxy Fold, when will you be able to get one, and where can you purchase it? Here’s all we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy Fold price, release date, and availability.
Editor’s note: We will update this article as we learn more about the Samsung Galaxy Fold release date and availability.
Samsung Galaxy Fold price
US
During its Unpacked press event, the company said the Samsung Galaxy Fold will come in two versions; one that will work on current 4G LTE networks, and another that will connect to the upcoming 5G carrier networks. The Galaxy Fold will be priced starting at $1,980 in the U.S., and presumably, that will be for the 4G LTE model. That likely means the 5G version of the Galaxy Fold will be priced at well over $2,000.
Europe
For the folk in Europe, the Samsung Galaxy Fold will also be highly expensive. It will have a starting cost of €2,000 euros in that part of the world. Again, we assume that will be for the 4G LTE version, with the 5G model costing even more.

In the U.K., Samsung will sell the Galaxy for the starting price of £1,799. The company has not revealed the pricing for the 5G version of the phone.
