Tech Desk: Ahead of Samsung’s highly anticipated Galaxy Unpacked event later this week, a significant leak has surfaced, revealing purported European pricing for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and the new Galaxy Watch 9 series. The comprehensive listing, briefly appearing on a Portuguese retailer’s website, suggests that consumers should brace for potential price increases across these next-generation foldables and smartwatches.

The leak indicates the Galaxy Z Flip 8 could start at EUR 1,349 for the 256GB variant, while the premium Galaxy Z Fold 8 might begin at EUR 2,069 for its 256GB model. Intriguingly, a new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra is also tipped, commanding a EUR 200 premium over the standard wide foldable, with its 256GB version potentially priced at EUR 2,269.

Smartwatch enthusiasts aren’t spared, as the Galaxy Watch 9 is expected to start from EUR 409.90 for the 40mm Bluetooth-only model. These figures, notably higher due to Portugal’s 23 percent VAT, offer an early glimpse into Samsung’s pricing strategy. The leak also confirms various storage configurations, setting the stage for what promises to be a pivotal Galaxy Unpacked event.
