Max Weinbach, writer for XDA-Developers has been responsible for many Samsung Galaxy S20 leaks this month. The latest report from his new source suggests the pricing and availability of both the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra. There’s also some news about the Samsung Galaxy Buds+.
The report suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip will officially launch on February 14 for $1,400. There’s also possibility that it would remain an AT&T exclusive, though it isn’t clear if only for a period of time or indefinitely. Otherwise, an unlocked variant of the flip phone is expected to become available.
Just head from a new source: Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip will likely launch on February 14th. It retails at $1400. It’s possible it is an AT&T exclusive again, but this time it might be a timed exclusive. It will also be available unlocked. — Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach) January 27, 2020
Next, the Samsung Galaxy S20, S20+, and S20 Ultra are “likely” to be available on March 6, the first Friday of the month. The S20 Ultra is slated to cost $1,300. All three Galaxy S20 models should be rated for IP68 water resistance (5M) and come pre-installed with screen protectors from the factory.

Finally, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds+ are expected to arrive next month. The new-generation Buds will offer double the battery life of the current Galaxy Buds (which run for about 6 hours per charge). The Buds+ will retail for $149 and will also offer improved “Adavptive Noise Isolation, not to be confused with noise cancellation.

Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Flip’s launch date is expected to fall on the same day as the new Motorola Razr flip phone. Pre-orders just went live today, exclusively at Verizon for a slightly higher price of $1,500. We’re eager to see which one comes out on top.
