Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 foldable smartphones will be manufactured at the company’s factory in Noida, India. J B Park, the South West Asia CEO and President of Samsung, made the announcement on Thursday, confirming the production location for these new foldable devices.

This decision to manufacture the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 in India reflects Samsung‘s commitment to local production and its efforts to cater to the Indian market’s demands for innovative and high-quality smartphones. Local production also offers advantages such as reduced import costs and faster availability of the devices to Indian consumers.

J B Park, the South West Asia CEO and President of Samsung, emphasized that the development and production of the new Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphones were made possible thanks to the world-class research and development (R&D) and manufacturing capabilities of Samsung, particularly in India. This highlights the significance of India’s contribution to the advancement of Samsung’s foldable smartphone technology.

With the new devices being locally manufactured, Indian consumers will have the opportunity to purchase state-of-the-art foldable smartphones that are made in India, which is likely to be a point of pride for the country’s tech enthusiasts.

As for the pricing, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 will have a starting price of Rs 154,999, but with an effective price of Rs 141,999 for pre-book customers, thanks to a memory upgrade to 512GB and various cash back offers and upgrade bonuses. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will start at Rs 99,999, but with an effective price of Rs 79,999 due to the available offers, making these foldable devices more accessible to consumers in India.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 series will be available at different price points based on the size and connectivity options of the tablets. The pricing will range from Rs 72,999 to Rs 133,999.

With these offers, the effective price for the Galaxy Tab S9 series will be reduced to a range of Rs 58,999 to Rs 113,999, depending on the specific model and the upgrade bonus provided.

One interesting aspect of Samsung’s promotional strategy is that they are offering upgrades from smartphones to make the tablet series more accessible.

This means that customers can trade in their old smartwatches and receive an additional discount when purchasing a new Galaxy Watch 6, making it more accessible to a wider audience.
