The European prices of the Samsung Galaxy S21 were leaked, giving us an idea of how much we will have to pay for the next Andoird flagship. And there is good and bad news.
According to established leaker Ishan Agarwal, two Galaxy S21 models will see a modest price drop on the Galaxy S20. But the Galaxy S21 Ultra model will apparently see a small price increase.
The basic Galaxy S21 will start at € 849, the S21 Plus will be € 1,049 (with a 256GB model for € 1,099) and the S21 Ultra will cost € 1,399. In dollars, those prices range from $ 1,040 to $ 1,715. But given European taxes, this conversion to dollars is not a true reflection of the price that fans of American phones can expect to pay for the Galaxy S21.
A more sensible approach is to look at the Euro prices of the Galaxy S20 and see how they have changed, and it’s pretty straightforward. In short, the entry-level S21 and S21 Plus are € 50 cheaper than their entry-level S20 equivalents, while the S21 Ultra costs € 50 more than the Galaxy S20 Ultra.
While a € 50 (about $ 61) price change either way isn’t exactly life-changing when talking about a device with a four-figure price tag, it’s interesting that Samsung is challenging its pricing trend. .
You don’t have to look far to find the probable cause of the price drop. Not only has Covid-19 created problems for companies that make phones, but buyers don’t have as much cash either. Despite the promise of Covid vaccines, the economic recovery will not happen overnight.
In some respects it is surprising that any price cut is limited to just € 50, but Samsung can always lower prices if sales are slow.
That’s assuming the rumor is correct, of course, but we won’t have to wait long to find out. Samsung will apparently launch the Galaxy S21 family earlier than usual, with a launch event rumored on January 14.
As for the phone itself, all three models are expected to share the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset in the US, with the European models making use of Samsung’s own Exynos 2100. And all models will use a 120Hz refresh rate display.
However, while the Standard and Plus models are expected to have a trio of rear cameras, the Galaxy S21 Ultra is apparently going to use sporty dual telephoto zoom lenses and will come with S Pen support. This update could be the reason for your price increase. We’ll know for sure next month, and we’ll be excited to see that the Galaxy S21 can earn a spot on our best phones list.
