Analyst Urges Waiting 2 Months on Foldables as Samsung, Apple and Motorola Shift Market
3 articles · Updated · Android Authority · Jul 8
Summary
$1,300-to-$1,500 foldables are a poor buy right now, with an Android Authority analyst saying the market could look very different within two months.
July 22 is Samsung’s next catalyst: the company has confirmed new Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Z Flip 8 launches, which could either outclass current models or push deeper discounts on the Fold 7 and Flip 7.
Motorola is the clearest pricing case for waiting, after last year’s Razr Ultra fell from $1,500 to $1,100 within months and later to $800 — a $700 cut.
Early September is the other key date, with Apple widely expected to debut its first foldable iPhone Ultra, adding a new benchmark to a category the report calls pivotal in 2026.
