At $1,980, the Fold costs twice the starting price of the Galaxy Note 9 or iPhone XS. When Samsung Mobile SVO Justin Denison announced the Galaxy Fold's price, the presentation hall rippled with audible gasps and groans (but really, I'm not surprised). Denison didn't sugarcoat it, but he did prime the pump by calling it a "luxury device."

In the US, the Galaxy Fold will sell with AT&T and T-Mobile starting April 26. Global colors are Martian Green, Astro Blue, Cosmos Black and Space Silver. There will be 4G LTE and 5G versions. UK and Australian prices were not announced, but the US price converts to about £1,500 or AU$2,800.
