A new report suggests Samsung Galaxy S23 prices will vary widely between regions.
The official launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S23 smartphones is just around the corner, and while the devices’ respective specs have been all-but confirmed by leaks, the lineup’s pricing structure remains the subject of much speculation.
We recently reported on leaked Verizon documents suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23 Plus and Galaxy S23 Ultra will cost the same as their Samsung Galaxy S22 counterparts in the US (i.e. $799.99, $999.99 and $1,199.99). The bad news is that it appears Samsung won’t be applying the same philosophy across the globe.
Documents hinting at lofty Galaxy S23 prices in both South Korea and Australia circulated across the web some weeks ago, but a new report (opens in new tab) from reliable tipster Roland Quandt indicates that customers in Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium will be also faced with eye-watering Galaxy S23 prices.
According to Quandt, Galaxy S23 prices will be increasing by as much as €300 (equivalent to around $325 / £260) over their predecessors in these European regions, which would mark the biggest generational price jump in Samsung Galaxy history.
It goes without saying that these proposed European Galaxy S23 prices are monumentally high compared to their US equivalents, but mobile prices have been steadily rising in non-US regions for several years now, owing to the strength of the US dollar against more unstable international currencies.
