Portuguese Retail Listing Points to Steep Pricing for Samsung’s Upcoming Foldables and Wearables
Samsung is preparing to introduce a refreshed lineup of devices during its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for Wednesday, September 22. While the hardware details of the new foldable phones and smartwatches have been anticipated for months, concrete pricing for the European market is now surfacing through a retailer database. Technology leaker Roland Quandt has drawn attention to a product overview page from the Portuguese electronics retailer PCDiga, which briefly listed the unreleased Galaxy Z series handsets and Galaxy Watch models alongside their local price tags.
Pricing Hierarchy Suggests Broad Regional Premiums
The listed figures arrive higher than many market observers initially projected. Portugal’s standard value-added tax of 23 percent is four percentage points higher than Germany’s rate, which partially explains the elevated numbers, but the data still implies genuine year-on-year price increases across several configurations. According to the store listing, Samsung’s clamshell foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip8, will be offered at €1,349 for the 256 GB storage variant and climbs to €1,549 for the 512 GB edition.
Perhaps the most anticipated debut is the Galaxy Z Fold8, which appears set to anchor the lineup at €2,069 for the baseline 256 GB model. Moving up the internal storage tiers pushes the cost to €2,269 for 512 GB and reaches a substantial €2,669 for the new 1 TB capacity. The Galaxy Z Fold8 is engineered around a redesigned form factor that pairs a 5.5-inch secondary display with a wider and more spacious 7.6-inch main folding screen; however, reports indicate it will forgo a dedicated telephoto lens to maintain that physical footprint.
Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra Carries a €200 Step-Up
For buyers seeking a more complete imaging suite, the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra enters the fold at a recurring €200 premium per storage option. The PCDiga listing sets the Ultra pricing at €2,269 (256 GB), €2,469 (512 GB), and €2,869 (1 TB). In exchange for the higher outlay, customers receive a larger foldable panel with an almost imperceptible crease and the return of the telephoto camera. Recent leaks suggest that core metrics such as processing power, battery endurance, and primary camera output remain essentially unchanged between the standard Fold8 and the Ultra designation.
Updated Wearable Lineup Shows Graduated Costs
Samsung’s wearable category is equally prepared for a refresh, and the leaked retail figures outline a clear ladder for the Galaxy Watch9 series. The most accessible entry point is the 40-millimeter Bluetooth-only casing at €409.90, while the larger 44-millimeter variant is positioned at €439.90. Adding LTE connectivity to either size carries an extra €50 surcharge. At the premium tier, the Galaxy Watch Ultra2 is shown in a single 47-millimeter profile with built-in LTE, listed at €749.90. Across the broader smartwatch landscape, such positioning places Samsung’s rugged wearable directly in competition with elite multisport offerings from other established players.
