According to a recent report from Samsung’s home country of South Korea, the technology giant could change the battery supplier for its upcoming foldable devices, possibly Galaxy Z Fold 4 And Galaxy Z Flip 4. Typically, Samsung hires its own Samsung SDI firm for such items, but it is said that the company expects further price reductions in 2022, which could lead to change.
It has been mentioned that Amperex Technology Limited (ATL) can get approval as a battery supplier, a company that is highly proven as the manufacturer of Apple’s iPhone batteries.
In the grand scheme, the important takeaway is how it affects the price of the foldable device. Last year, the Flip 3 dropped a whopping 999, while the Z Fold 3 dropped to $ 1799. This is a trend that we want to continue and we know that it was a success for Samsung, as 3rd generation devices were highly regarded as selling very well. According to Samsung, in the first month of availability, the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 surpassed the total sales of all Samsung Foldable devices by 2020.
Low prices and constant refinements can make the situation better and make foldables a common thing to see around town. It’s too cold.
