In related news, Korean outlet Dailyan reports that Samsung has started shipping the first devices of the Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 to local carriers SK Telecom, KT Corporation and LG Uplus. The telecommunications company is reportedly testing the new devices on their respective networks.
The Dailyan report specifies that the Galaxy Z Fold3 will sell for KRW 1.9 million (around $ 1,675), while the Galaxy Z Flip3 should come in at KRW 1.3 million ($ 1,145).
