The rumors about lower Fold 4, Flip 4, and Watch 5 prices have been greatly exaggerated, it seems, at least when it comes to the price tags of Samsung's 2022 foldables and wearable over on the Old Continent.
Reserve your Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, or Galaxy Watch 5
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 preorders will likely start immediately after the August 10 Unpacked event and run until Friday, August 26, when Samsung will release its 2022 foldables crop, if history is any indication. You can queue for a spot at the Galaxy Z Flip 4 preorder reservations and bonuses right now, though:

This is bad news for European fans of Samsung's state-of-the-art foldable phones and smartwatches as there is a price increase across the board, ranging from 50 EUR for the Watch 5 models, to 150 EUR for the already expensive Galaxy Fold line.
While this rumor clashes somewhat with the North American Galaxy Watch 5 pricing leaks, we shouldn't forget that the Euro recently hit parity with the dollar, depreciating significantly against the globe's reserve currency and Samsung has to somehow protect its margins.
Thus, we keep our hopes high that the Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 prices in America will be on par with the tags of their predecessor, and ditto for Samsung's new smartwatch.
