Despite making an entrance along with the Galaxy Note20 series, Samsung didn't reveal the price and availability under tight wraps noting that it would hold a separate launch for the foldable phone. At the same time, the Samsung UK retail site was spotted revealing the price and the shipment details, which was pulled down promptly.

According to the website, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 price for pre-orders and shipping dates were revealed. A tweet by Max Weinbach further noted that Samsung has priced the new foldable phone at GBP 1,799 (roughly Rs. 1,75,400) and its shipments scheduled for September 17.
