It looks increasingly likely that the Galaxy S23 handsets are going to cost more than their Galaxy S22 equivalents.
We’re getting new Samsung Galaxy S23 leaks and rumors pretty much every day at this point, and today’s is around price – with indications that you’re going to have to pay a bit more to get your hands on this year’s flagship phones.
As per Twitter tipster @OreXda (opens in new tab) (via Notebookcheck (opens in new tab)), in South Korea we’re looking at prices of 1,199,000 won for the standard model, 1,397,000 won for the Plus edition, and 1,599,400 won for the top-end Ultra version of the Galaxy S23.
For context, in the same country the Samsung Galaxy S22 cost 999,900 won, the Galaxy S22 Plus cost 1,199,000 won, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra went on sale for 1,452,000 won. We’re looking at a price jump of around 10-20% if those figures are correct.
At today’s exchange rate, the equivalent price for the standard Galaxy S23 is around $955 / £790 / AU$1,390, while the Galaxy S22 started at $799 / £769 / AU$1,249.
