Samsung's Budget Foldable In Works
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, an inferior display, and a smaller battery capacity. These compromises are aimed at enabling the consumer tech giant to maintain an affordable price point for the rumored foldable device. However, the camera specifications are expected to be similar to Samsung's current existing foldable lineup, which should result in near-flagship-grade photographs despite the variance in processing power. The rumored foldable smartphone is anticipated to be priced around $800 (approximately Rs 66,000), significantly more affordable than the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which retails for $1800 or Rs 1.49 lakh.
