Introduced back in September 2020 with a price tag of $2,999, Samsung’s foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, recently received a permanent $500 price drop to $2,499 back in March. That price has now dropped even further, as Optus is currently offering to knock another $499.68 when paired with one of its mobile plans.
I don’t know why Optus has chosen such a weirdly specific number, but I do know that this means the cost of a Fold 2 is now under $2,000. This discount is available for 24-month or 36-month plans, meaning you’ll save $20.82 or $13.88 each month, respectively.
As its name suggests, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2‘s major gimmick is that you’re able to fold it out from a standard smartphone display into a tablet-like display.
In her review of the phone, Gizmodo Australia’s editor Tegan Jones praised the Fold 2’s cameras, improved display and the multi-tasking possibilities of the unfolded screen. While there are plenty of good reasons to pick up this phone – outside of the novelty factor – its original price point was quite steep.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence about picking up this smartphone, now’s your time to strike.
