- samsung galaxy S9 it will be more expensive than last year's S8
Samsung’s new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S9, is due to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month at an event that won’t likely pack too many surprises. We basically know what goes into each new Samsung device from a battery, display, and design standpoint, with a little mystery wiggle room leftover for whatever experimental feature the company tries to push(almost always unsuccessfully) onto consumers. Following some fresh leaks obtained by VentureBeat’s Evan Blass late last month, we even know what the device looks like. (Hint: It looks like a Galaxy phone.)
But a few rumors making the rounds at gadget blogs today, collected byGizmodo, suggest a rather unpleasant surprise may be in store for would-be buyers of the S9: a price jump. According to Korean publication ETNews, the Galaxy S9 may cost between 925,000 and 1 million won (between $875 and $925). That’s a significant jump over the Galaxy S8’s starting price of $720.
A couple days ago, TechRadar quoted a source saying the S9 could cost as much as £789, or around $1,110, which would mark a £100 increase over last year’s S8 that went on sale in the UK for £689. Taking into account those two price quotes and leaving some room for currency exchanges and import taxes and so on, we can assume the new Galaxy S9 might retail in the US for somewhere around $800 to $850.
