We’re beforehand heard stories from a number of sources that the Galaxy S23 vary would present up within the first week of February,  but it surely now seems we may very well be ready till later within the month to see these telephones formally pushed out into the world.

The worth is correct?

The purpose concerning the pricing dilemma is an fascinating one. Samsung goes to need to make a wholesome revenue with out laying aside potential patrons, and evidently the corporate hasn’t but determined simply how a lot it should cost for these telephones.

Going again to the Samsung Galaxy S22 sequence, these handsets began at $799 / £769 / AU$1,249 (normal), $999 / £949 / AU$1,549 (Plus) and $1,199 / £1,149 / AU$1,849 (Extremely), which provides us some concept of what to anticipate from the brand new vary for 2023.

From what we’re heard concerning the Samsung Galaxy S23 sequence to this point, it does not sound as if these telephones are going to be an enormous leap from their predecessors, with lots of the identical parts from the 2022 telephones set for use within the 2023 variations.

It is not troublesome to work out why, given the tight financial occasions that we discover ourselves in. Most individuals are squeezed by way of their budgets, the consequences of the pandemic are nonetheless being felt throughout provide chains, and the price of supplies retains on rising.

With that in thoughts, Samsung goes to should work laborious to keep away from placing the worth of the Galaxy 23 telephones at a better degree than the Galaxy S22 handsets that got here earlier than them. Sure compromises will have to be made for that to be the case.

As this new leak exhibits although, the corporate is eager to not worth out customers, particularly given robust competitors from Apple, Google, and the remaining. Put the worth up an excessive amount of, and other people will merely go for extra inexpensive choices.
