The Top-End Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra Has Me Aghast. It Costs Nearly as Much as the Z TriFold

Samsung’s latest foldables are more expensive, with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup rising above last year’s pricing.

The top-end Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra reaches $2,700 for 1TB, nearly matching the discontinued Galaxy Z TriFold.

The price hike is being tied to higher memory and component costs, including supply pressure in RAM and other parts.

The trend underscores how premium foldables are becoming harder to afford as hardware shortages push prices to record levels.
