Here's how much the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will cost in Australia

Samsung's second stab at mainstream foldable phone is set to arrive in Australia on April 3rd. First teased at this year's Oscars, the foldable smartphone boasts a flip-phone form-factor, Snapdragon 855+ processor and a 6.7-inch FHD+ OLED display. When it comes to the specs, it reads like a remarkable upgrade on the all-too-similar Motorola Razr. For a comparison of the two foldable phones, click here.

But just how much will it cost to score yourself a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip in Australia?

Outright

Australian shoppers will be able to preorder the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip through the Samsung website and Samsung Experience Stores from March 20th at a local RRP of AU$2199.

Once it releases on April 3rd, Australian shoppers will be able to find and purchase the Galaxy Z Flip outright through the Samsung website, Samsung Experience Stores, Optus, Vodafone, Telstra JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman.

As mentioned, in Australia, the local pricing for the Galaxy Z Flip starts at AU$2199. This is approximately $500 less than what it'll cost you to get one of Motorola's new Razr foldable phones and a neat $800 cheaper than last year's Galaxy Fold.

As with the Razr, there's only a single model on offer here, which stacks together 8GB of RAM with 256GB of on-board storage. Fortunately, you can expand that - since the Z Flip does come with a standard microSD slot.

Postpaid

At launch, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is set to be available on a plan through all three of Australia's major telcos: Telstra, Optus and Vodafone.

The usual rules apply here. For example, the price of getting a Galaxy Z Flip on a post-paid plan through Telstra will start at $111/month for a 36-month contract or $144/month for a 24-month contract. You simply take the RRP of the Z Flip ($2199), divide it by the number of months and then add on the price of Telstra's 15GB phone plan ($50).
