Samsung Romania's recent promotional campaign has inadvertently revealed an exciting giveaway of 10 Galaxy Z Flip5 phones to lucky participants who pre-register between July 26 and August 2. However, as an unexpected oversight, the terms and conditions document for the promotion inadvertently disclosed the price of the coveted items, possibly surprising some eager participants. Let's dive into the details of this unintentional revelation and explore the implications of this unexpected disclosure.

Based on the information provided, the leaked pricing details for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 256GB suggest that it will be priced at RON 6,599 in Romania, which converts to approximately €1,335. This represents a 16% increase compared to the launch price of the Z Flip4 256GB last year, which was RON 5,700.

There have been additional leaks from Greece and France regarding the pricing of the Z Flip5. The Greek leak indicated that the 128GB model would be priced around €1,300, while the French leak suggested a price of €1,200 for the 256GB model. It's worth noting that different VAT rates in each country may contribute to the price variations. Romania has a VAT of 19%, Greece has a VAT of 24%, and France has a VAT of 20%.

Considering the leaked information, there seems to be a discrepancy in prices. The Romanian leak implies a pre-VAT price of €1,120 for the 256GB model, whereas the French leak suggests a lower pre-VAT price of €1,000 for the same model. The difference of €70 (before VAT) between the 128GB and 256GB models seems reasonable, but the French price for the 256GB model appears suspiciously low.

It's recommended to wait for more leaks from local retailers before drawing any final conclusions. The official reveal of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip5 is scheduled for July 26. The French leak also mentioned a larger price increase of €100-120 for the Galaxy Z Fold5, but there is no information yet from Romania or Greece regarding that model.
