At €1,700 now and €2,300 come August, the device sits at a threshold where nearly equal numbers of potential buyers are ready to commit as are waiting for the math to improve. The market, as it so often does, holds its breath at the intersection of aspiration and affordability.

Consumers face price barriers limiting foldable smartphone adoption; split purchasing behavior indicates price sensitivity in premium segment. Limited product availability (512GB only in Europe) and regional market gaps restrict consumer choice and purchasing options.
