Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy Z Fold8 unveils pricey new foldables

Samsung Electronics launched its latest foldable smartphones, including the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra, during its Unpacked event in London. The Fold8 is smaller than the previous model and priced starting at Dh4,699 for the 256GB version, while the Fold8 Ultra starts at Dh7,999 for the same storage capacity, marking the first time a Samsung smartphone exceeds Dh10,000. Prices for other models have increased due to supply chain issues, including chip shortages and rising manufacturing costs. Samsung introduced new affordability options such as zero-interest payment plans and extended telecom contracts to ease the financial burden on consumers. The company faces ongoing challenges from global economic conditions, including higher interest rates and the impact of the US-Iran war on component availability.
