In Russia, pre-orders for the latest Samsung foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, along with the Galaxy Watch 7 featuring an advanced AI function, have begun. The pre-order window runs through July 23, after which the devices will become available for purchase in online stores and physical retail outlets. This update comes from the press service of MTS, shared with socialbites.ca.
Samsung’s flagship models are celebrated for delivering top-tier performance and cutting-edge specifications that enhance the practicality of working with flexible displays. Prices in the MTS catalog show the Galaxy Z Flip 6 starting between 190,000 and 230,000 rubles, while the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is listed in a similar range. The Galaxy Watch 7 smart watch is priced from roughly 26,000 to 28,500 rubles. The Fold series is offered in gray, pink, and blue, whereas the Flip series comes in gray, blue, mint, and yellow. These color options give buyers a chance to pick a tone that matches their style and daily wear. In addition, buyers who opt for the Galaxy Flip 6 or Galaxy Fold 6 will receive Galaxy Buds 3 Pro headphones as a gift, while the Buds 3 Pro can be purchased separately for around 20,000 rubles. The basic Galaxy Buds 3 model is available for about 15,000 rubles.
Industry data from the first half of 2024 shows 84,000 foldable smartphones of all brands sold in the Russian market, generating a total revenue of 9.1 billion rubles. That period marked a 9% year-over-year increase in unit sales and a 13% rise in value, underscoring growing consumer interest in flexible displays and premium wearable technology as part of everyday tech ecosystems.
A recent consumer alert notes a counterfeit rumor about a hoax drawing of hundreds of iPhones attributed to a channel named Wylsacom, reminding buyers to verify sources and avoid spammy promotions that mimic official communications. This serves as a broader reminder that the rapid launch cadence of foldables and smart watches can coincide with misinformation, and shoppers should rely on official announcements and trusted retailers when considering pre-orders or purchases.
