The Samsung Galaxy S20 series was ridiculously expensive at launch, and multiple reports revealed that customers were far from impressed. However, despite the negative reactions, a leak suggests that the South Korean company plans to go even further with its next set of flagships.
The Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra are much more expensive
Popular Greek website Tech Maniac It has obtained information from a “very reliable source” regarding the launch date and price of the next generation Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. These smartphones are reportedly making their international debut on Wednesday August 5 at the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event. Preorders are likely to start shortly after shipments are anticipated on Thursday, August 27.
The source in question believes that the standard Samsung Galaxy Note 20 will sell for € 1,249 in Greece. That’s significantly higher than the Galaxy Note 10, which was priced at € 999 domestically when it launched last year.
Although not yet confirmed, prices in the rest of Europe should be lower thanks to different tax rates. Most customers in the region should be able to buy the Galaxy Note 20 for € 1,199 or € 1,209.

Like the Galaxy Note 20, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra should be cheaper in other European markets. If these Greek prices are correct, the smartphone is likely to sell for € 1,449 and € 1,459 in most countries.
Galaxy Fold 2 is also more expensive
Tech Maniac I also received information on the highly anticipated Galaxy Fold 2. The latter is expected to be introduced alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series, but won’t hit stores until the end of September or October due to delays in COVID-19.
