The first foldables unveiled from Samsung and Huawei cost about double -- or in the case of Huawei, triple -- the price of many high-end smartphones available today. Samsung's Galaxy Fold will cost a whopping $1,980 (about £1,500 or AU$2,800) when it hits the market April 26. And Huawei's Mate X pricing -- €2,300 ($2,600) -- shocked many MWC attendees.
