While the global launch price of $1,799 (roughly Rs. 1,42,700) for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the same as its previous version, Indian consumers may have to shell out more due to depreciation in the rupee and higher taxes.

According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung captured 81 percent market share in the Rs. 1 lakh and above smartphone category in March 2022. Samsung's ultra-premium device Galaxy S22 Ultra accounted for around 74 percent of the volume.
