This means that Samsung is not launching the phones in India in the first wave. “All the devices including Fold 4 will be available in India from early September. Fold4 is the most premium device that Samsung has launched till date. Indian consumers may have to pay a little more for the Fold4 because of depreciation in the value of rupee against US dollar,” adds the report.

Along with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the company also launched the Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro smartwatches.
