According to a new report from BGR India, Samsung might launch the Galaxy Fold in India in May this year. The report also hints towards a possibility that the brand might launch the Galaxy A80 in the country alongside the Galaxy Fold. BRG India says that although Samsung has decided to launch those two devices in India in May, it still hasn’t finalized the exact launch date. The report also says that the brand might be looking for a soft launch for these two devices in India instead of a mega event.
As far as the pricing goes, Ranjiv Singh, SVP, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung India recently confirmed that they’d be launching the Galaxy A80 in India in the INR 45,000 to INR 50,000 price bracket. However, the Indian pricing of the Galaxy Fold is still unknown. Considering that the Galaxy Fold costs USD 1,980 in the USA, it could launch in India somewhere between INR 1,25,000 to INR 1,50,000. Let us quickly have a look at the specifications of these two devices.
