Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S23 collection on February 1st, if a latest leak is right. A separate rumor claimed that Samsung nonetheless hadn’t finalized the Galaxy S23 worth tiers, which could delay the telephone’s launch schedule. Samsung is supposedly sparing no expense on the Galaxy S23’s improvement. Add to that the inflation results on manufacturing items, and a Galaxy S23 worth hike wouldn’t come as a lot of a shock.
A questionable leak from Korea claims {that a} worth hike is to ensure that the brand new flagships. The Galaxy S23, S23 Plus, and S23 Ultra costs supposedly leaked for Samsung’s residence market.
Korea is usually the supply of worth leaks for unreleased Samsung gadgets. Sometimes these are correct; different instances, they’re not. After all, these are simply rumors, and Samsung can all the time alter the pricing tiers to fulfill its wants.
The Galaxy S23 worth info comes from a Twitter user who posted a screenshot that reveals the purported prices. According to the screenshot, the Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus shall be 200,000 gained ($158) dearer than their predecessors. The Galaxy S23 Ultra shall be 150,000 gained ($119) dearer than the S22 Ultra.
Here are the costs, in gained, from that screenshot. Sales tax is probably going included:

- Galaxy S23 Plus – 1,397,000 gained ($1,105)

Assuming the data is correct, we must always count on comparable worth will increase in each market the place Samsung will promote the Galaxy S23 collection.
The screenshot within the tweet claims the data comes from an SK Telecom supply. It additionally says that the Galaxy S23 Unpacked occasion will occur in early February, with preorders occurring between February 7-16.
But that is all simply unconfirmed chatter. It’s unclear the place the screenshot comes from, and SamMobile says the leaker has been mistaken earlier than.
That’s to not say that the Galaxy S23 can’t be dearer than the Galaxy S22. Again, the present economic system and Samsung’s new technique for flagship telephones can drive up prices.
We’ll additionally remind you that the Galaxy S23 may begin at 256GB of storage as an alternative of 128GB. That’s an improve that Samsung may not supply freed from cost, assuming the rumor is correct.
The downside with a worth hike is that it’ll harm Samsung’s advertising. Apple saved the iPhone 14 worth unchanged from the iPhone 13 collection (at the least within the US). And the Galaxy S23 will compete towards Apple’s iPhone 14 fashions on the worst doable time for Samsung. The economic system is already hurting the tech big.
Price hike or not, Samsung will certainly supply consumers who preorder the Galaxy S23 telephones numerous perks that can make the telephones appear extra inexpensive.
