Samsung foldable budget in progress
Samsung is reportedly preparing to unveil a new budget-friendly foldable smartphone. According to a report from Korean media outlet Sisa Journal, Samsung’s upcoming entry-level foldable device will feature a slightly less powerful processor, a lower quality screen, and a smaller battery capacity. These compromises are intended to allow the consumer tech giant to maintain an affordable price for the rumored foldable device. However, the camera specs are expected to be similar to Samsung’s current foldable lineup, which should result in near-flagship-quality photographs despite the variation in processing power. The rumored foldable smartphone is expected to cost around $800 (around Rs 66,000), significantly more affordable than the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which costs $1,800 or Rs 1.49 lakh.
