Samsung intends to make the Galaxy S21 considerably cheaper compared to the price of the Galaxy S20, according to a new rumor from South Korea. The lowest-end member of the next-gen Galaxy S is said to sell for between $ 849 and $ 899, down from the $ 999 (1.24 million won) of the more affordable Galaxy S20. A similar price cut awaits the Galaxy S21 +, which is rumored to debut between $ 1049 and $ 1099, while the Galaxy S20 + was presented with a price of $ 1,199.
Similarly, the Galaxy S21 Ultra should sell for the equivalent of between $ 1,249 and $ 1,299, according to the same Korean source. This year’s Galaxy S20 Ultra started at $ 1,399 in the US Its European price, meanwhile, hovered around the € 1,349 mark.
It’s time for Samsung to stop with annual price increases
None of the figures mentioned above have been set in stone, rather they simply represent the price range Samsung is currently considering for its next trio of flagships, the source claims. And while it remains to be seen what the official price of the Galaxy S21 series will be, we are definitely crossing our fingers for Samsung to stop with annual price increases. Especially since its latest flagship generations offered mostly iterative updates.
Namely, all of the company’s pioneering mobile technologies have seemingly gone to the new Galaxy Z folding smartphone series, with the notable exception of the 120Hz displays. And even those silky smooth refresh rates were only perfected with the Galaxy Note 20 range, whose pricing structure was quite ridiculous, at least from a consumer perspective.
