The #Galaxy Z Flip5 and Fold5 are already available in Russia.
Despite the phones being officially available August 11, Russian news agency TASS noticed that the upcoming phones are already available in major Russian stores.
At MTS, a major Russian carrier, the Z Flip5 is available in 512GB for 119900 rubles (around $1300), while the Z Fold5 is available in all versions except for 256GB, starting at 199900 RUB (around $2170). However, both phones are on sale and the carrier is bundling free Galaxy Buds with the former and a Galaxy Watch5 Pro with the latter. The Galaxy Watch6 series and Galaxy Tab S9 series are available for preorder, as are the 256GB variants of the foldable phones.
Unlike other tech companies Samsung hasn't fully left Russia, only stopping sales there, with stores having to rely on gray/parallel imports. Samsung also doesn't have official resellers in the country anymore, which is likely why stores are already selling the upcoming phones.

#Nothing launches its first sub-brand.
CMF by Nothing is a more affordable brand focusing on delivering "timeless designs" at affordable prices with "quality that's hard to find" at this price point. "Nothing" will remain as the company's premium brand with innovative design and the latest technology. The sub-brand's products will "work really well" with "the same attention to user experience" as Nothing.
The name comes from the CMF (color, material, finish) process in product design, which focuses on the look and feel of a product.
The first CMF by Nothing products are a smartwatch and earbuds, to be launched later this year.
