Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+ and S23 Ultra prices in Europe leaked, get ready to pay more

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra may retain the same prices as their predecessors in the US, but not elsewhere. An earlier rumor out of Australia first tipped us off to the impending price hike, and today’s newly leaked European prices for the trio pretty much confirm the bad news.

The base model of the Galaxy S23 will be 100 euros more expensive than the base model of the Galaxy S22 (all last year’s delivery prices are for comparison). The base model Galaxy S23+ with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will be 100 euros more expensive than the version of the Galaxy S22+ with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, and 150 euros more expensive than the base model Galaxy S22+ with 128GB of storage. storage.

The base model Galaxy S23 Ultra will be 150 euros more expensive than the base model Galaxy S22 Ultra, but you will get 256 GB instead of 128 GB. The S22 Ultra didn’t have an identical version with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage that we could directly compare with.

This means that in the cheapest Eurozone countries (due to different VAT rates) such as Germany and Benelux, the base model Galaxy S23 would cost €949, while the base model Galaxy S23 Ultra with 8GB of RAM would cost €1,399. and 256 GB of memory. The Galaxy S23+ will likely cost €1,199 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, although this leak doesn’t specifically mention that for those markets.

Germany and Benelux appear to be 949 for the S23 base and 1399 for the S23U base. No idea about S23+ in these countries. As usual, pricing is subject to local taxes, duties, etc. There will be some good deals (like upgrading to the next higher memory spec by pre-ordering with the purchase of the base model)

On the other hand, the tweet embedded above has the full Spanish price breakdown for all versions of all models (except for the 1TB iteration, as the information here purports to come from a Spanish retailer and that version may be exclusive to Samsung.com). in Spain). The slight difference compared to Germany and Benelux is always present and most probably related to the higher VAT in Spain. Here are the above prices in an easier to read format:

If this works, Samsung, like most companies, will respond to inflation by creating more inflation – literally rising prices. The irony isn’t lost on you either, but if you’re interested in the Galaxy S23 phones, you should probably save a little more than you might initially expect. That being said, Samsung usually has some pretty decent pre-order deals, and they might take the piss out of this price hike.
