Are you going to spend $2000 on the Galaxy Fold?

Samsung gave us a pretty nice surprise on Wednesday at its Unpacked event by kicking things off with the announcement of the Galaxy Fold — the company's foldable phone that we've been waiting years for.

The tech used to make the Galaxy Fold a reality is beyond impressive, but its price tag of $1,980 has caused for a lot of sticker shock.

Here's how some of our AC forum members have responded:

$1,980 Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Apple by like you just reset the bar and they want in on those type of prices. :-$ Did you hear the crowd swallow their tongue when the price flashed. I almost did as well. That gasp said it all.

Yeah, I’ll never pay $2,000 for a phone, no matter how earth-shatteringly cool it is. Hard pass.

Its a little pricier than I thought i'd be but Samsung put the R&D into this so I am not surprised. It'll come down way in price 2-3years as more companies bring their own version and the tech becomes cheaper.
