Samsung Romania inadvertently disclosed the price of the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5. The campaign, which offers ten Galaxy Z Flip 5 phones to individuals who pre-register between July 26 and August 2, included a PDF detailing the terms and conditions, revealing the price of the giveaway items.
The document indicates that the 256 GB Z Flip 5 is valued at RON 6,599, approximately €1,335. This marks a significant increase from last year’s model, the 256 GB Z Flip 4, which was priced at RON 5,700 at launch, making the new model 16% more expensive.
This revelation aligns with previous leaks from Greece and France. The Greek leak listed the 128 GB model at a similar price of €1,300, while the French leak suggested that the 256 GB variant would be priced at €1,200, a slight increase from the Z Flip 4 256 GB’s price of €1,170 last year.
However, it’s important to consider the varying VAT rates across EU countries when comparing these prices. Romania has a VAT rate of 19%, Greece 24%, and France 20%. Despite these differences, there is a noticeable discrepancy in the leaked prices. The Romanian leak proposes a pre-VAT price of €1,120 for the 256 GB model, while the French leak suggests €1,000. The Greek leak points to a pre-VAT price of €1,050 for the smaller 128 GB version.
A €70 variance (prior to VAT) between the 128 GB and 256 GB models seems plausible, yet this makes the French pricing for the 256 GB variant look suspiciously low.
The official unveiling of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is scheduled for July 26. It’s also worth noting that the French leak mentioned a more substantial price increase for the Galaxy Z Fold 5 (€100-120), but there’s been no confirmation from either Romania or Greece on this matter yet.
