For reference, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 launched at EUR 1,199 for the 256GB model and EUR 1,319 for the 512GB variant. It costs from Rs. 1,09,999 in India.
The report also offers hints about the pricing for next-generation Galaxy smartwatches. The Galaxy Watch 9 is tipped to start at EUR 409 (roughly Rs. 44,000) for the 40mm Bluetooth model. The LTE version is said to cost EUR 459 (roughly Rs. 55,000).
The larger 44mm Bluetooth and LTE variants are reportedly priced at EUR 439 (roughly Rs. 47,000) and EUR 489 (roughly Rs. 53,000), respectively. The Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 LTE will reportedly have a starting price of EUR 749 (roughly Rs. 81,000)
