TL;DR Samsung has raised the US prices of the 512GB and 1TB Galaxy Z Fold 7.
For now, the base 256GB model is still listed at its original price.
The move comes in the same week that Motorola hiked prices on various phone models.
In the age of the RAM crisis, phone prices creeping upward is becoming an irritating little theme this week, and Samsung now seems to have picked up on the idea. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 was already a wallet-bruising purchase, but the company appears to have quietly raised the US price of two models anyway.

As 9to5Google spotted, Samsung’s US product page now lists the 512GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 at $2,199.99 and the 1TB model at $2,499.99. Those are both $80 higher than their launch prices, which were $2,119.99 and $2,419.99, respectively. The 256GB Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still showing at its original $1,999.99 price, so Samsung seems to have limited the bump to the two higher-storage tiers rather than nudging the whole range upward.

That still leaves you paying even more for what was already one of the priciest phones around. An extra $80 is not enormous in the context of a $2,000-plus foldable, but it is still a noticeable post-launch hike, especially when nothing about the phone has changed, and we’re expecting a successor in a couple of months.
