Samsung Galaxy S9 has the price and pre-order date revealed today by one of Samsung's partners who will put the new mobile phone on sale following the presentation scheduled for February 25. Until now we were only told that the price of the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be higher than that charged for the previous series of Korean mobile phones, but today we find out how much the difference between them will be.
Samsung Galaxy S9 will be sold in South Korea by mobile phone operators at prices starting from 890 - 935 dollars, with only 15 - 60 dollars higher than those charged for the previous series. The difference is very small between the two series, the Samsung Galaxy S9 being sold with a minor increase, if we look at the large price difference demanded by Apple for iPhone X compared to iPhone 8, last year.
Samsung Galaxy S9 will be sold at prices starting from 800 dollars, without taxes, in the USA, the difference compared to the previous series being 50 dollars, at prices without taxes, so here we are talking about a very good offer. Basically, the Samsung Galaxy S9 would cost only 870 dollars in the US, 200 dollars less than Apple's iPhone X, and this will definitely be a huge problem for Apple in the coming months.
Samsung Galaxy S9: price and release date revealed
Samsung Galaxy S9 will be available for pre-order starting February 2 in South Korea, so it is very possible that the same date will be valid in Europe as well, pre-orders being open only until February 8. This difference of only 6 days for the Samsung Galaxy S9 pre-order suggests that the launch of the new phone will take place on February 9 and not on February 16, as some rumors claimed.
"We decided to make a reservation sale with Samsung Electronics for 7 days from March 2-8. Although the domestic price of the Galaxy S9 will increase, it will be decided at a level where consumers do not feel burdened. The price of the Galaxy S8 (64GB) in Korea was 935,000 won, so the Galaxy S9 will be priced between W950,000 and W990,000."
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is much cheaper than I expected, and surely the same will be the impression of many other fans of the Korean company, and for that there is a very clear explanation, apart from the major changes. The Samsung Galaxy S9 will have more internal changes focused on the user experience and not on the design, and this allows the Korean company to keep the price at a low value to more easily attack the iPhone X in 2018.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is thought to continue to take advantage of the success of the Samsung Galaxy S8 series, the design being extremely appreciated, together with the screen, and the only major difference compared to the iPhone X is in Face ID. In the morning, I presented the Intelliscan function of the Samsung Galaxy S9, which is the inferior Face ID, but with the $200 difference between the phones, I can't imagine how Android fans could be convinced to choose the iPhone X.
