[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] As the launch date of the Galaxy Z Flip approaches, news about its price and release schedule is spreading rapidly. The price is expected to be higher than initially anticipated but set at around 1.6 million KRW, which is cheaper than the Galaxy Fold.

According to foreign media and industry sources on the 28th, the price of the Galaxy Z Flip is set at $1,400 USD (approximately 1.63 million KRW) in the United States. The release date is scheduled for February 14. The Galaxy Z Flip will be released three days after the Unpacked event held on February 11.

Max Weinbach, an XD Developers member who shares Samsung product news on Twitter, stated, "Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip will be released on February 14, priced at $1,400, and is likely to be exclusively launched through AT&T," adding, "It will also be available as an unlocked phone."

Samsung Electronics is reportedly planning to release the Galaxy Z Flip first in February, followed by its flagship Galaxy S20 a month later. If both were released simultaneously, competition between the company's own models would be inevitable, so the strategy appears to be to give the Galaxy Z Flip a month head start to attract attention. The device features a 6.7-inch display with ultra-thin glass material to enhance durability and is equipped with a 12-megapixel rear camera. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S20 Ultra model is expected to be priced at $1,300, which is $100 cheaper than the Galaxy Z Flip.

In February, three foldable phones from Samsung, Huawei, and Motorola will be released and compete in the market. Motorola is set to launch the foldable Razr phone on February 6. It has a 6.2-inch display and is priced at $1,500 USD (approximately 1.75 million KRW), making it $100 more expensive than the Galaxy Z Flip. Huawei is expected to unveil the 'Mate Xs' at MWC in February. This product is anticipated to have similar specifications to the Mate X, which was released with an 8-inch display, but with enhanced durability and a lower price.
