The prices of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 have dropped since the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. The price of the Z Fold 3 dropped by about 17% seeing its price drop from $1699 to $1499. The price of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 dropped by 10% seeing its price go down to $899. The question is, is this the right time for you to buy either phone?

The answer is YES and here is why. You see, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are not major upgrades over the Fold 3 and Flip 3. These smartphones still retain essentially the same features and look. But the Fold 4 and Flip 4 have upgraded cameras and a new chipset for better performance. That aside, other features and even the design remained the same.
