Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Extremely might hold the identical costs as their predecessors within the US, however not elsewhere. A previous rumor from Australia made us conscious of the upcoming worth hikes for the primary time, and at this time newly leaked costs for the trio in Europe principally verify the unhealthy information.
The Galaxy S23 base mannequin will likely be €100 costlier than the Galaxy S22 base mannequin was (listed below are all of the launch costs from final yr to check to). The Galaxy S23+ base mannequin, with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, will likely be €100 costlier than the Galaxy S22+ model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and €150 costlier than the bottom mannequin Galaxy S22+ was with 128GB of storage.
The bottom mannequin Galaxy S23 Extremely will likely be €150 costlier than the bottom mannequin Galaxy S22 Extremely, however you do get 256GB of storage as a substitute of 128GB. The S22 Extremely did not have an similar model with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage we are able to immediately evaluate to.
Which means that within the least expensive Eurozone international locations (as a consequence of differing VAT ranges), comparable to Germany and Benelux, it’s best to anticipate to pay €949 for a base mannequin Galaxy S23, and €1,399 for a base mannequin Galaxy S23 Extremely with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Galaxy S23+ will more than likely be €1,199 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, though this leak does not particularly point out it for such markets.
Germany and Benelux it appears to be 949 for S23 base and 1399 for S23U base. No clue about S23+ for these international locations. As common, pricing depends upon native taxes, duties and so forth. There will likely be some good offers (like improve to subsequent increased mem spec throughout pre-orders when shopping for base mannequin)

Alternatively, the tweet embedded above has a full worth breakdown for Spain, for all variations of all fashions (apart from the 1TB iteration, as the data right here is supposedly from a Spanish retailer and that model is likely to be unique to Samsung.com in Spain). The slight distinction in comparison with Germany and Benelux is one thing that is at all times current and more than likely has to do with increased VAT in Spain. Listed below are the above costs in a better to learn format:
Spain | |||
Galaxy S23 | Galaxy S23+ | Galaxy S23 Extremely | |
8/128 GB | €959 | N/A | N/A |
8/256 GB | €1,019 | €1,209 | €1,409 |
8/512 GB | N/A | €1,329 | N/A |
12/512 GB | N/A | N/A | €1,589 |
If this pans out, Samsung will, as most corporations, reply to inflation by creating some extra inflation – since that is actually what growing costs does. The irony is not misplaced on us, and it should not be misplaced on you, however if you happen to’re within the Galaxy S23 telephones, it’s best to in all probability save up just a little bit greater than maybe you initially might have anticipated. That being mentioned, Samsung usually has fairly respectable pre-order offers, and people might take a few of the stink off of those worth hikes.
