The Galaxy S8+ model with 6 GB RAM will cost more than $1,000 (Updated)
Update: As reported by Android Authority, the 6 GB S8+ model also appears to be available for pre-order in South Korea. The article has been edited to reflect the new information.
The move to sell the 6 GB RAM version of the S8 in China only is widely interpreted as an answer to local brands, such as Vivo and Oppo, whose latest devices have also featured similar specs. It's still widely debated whether that much RAM is actually needed in a smartphone: just a couple of weeks ago, a Huawei executive claimed that 4 GB is more than enough (though the 6 GB-equipped P10 Plus somewhat disproves that claim). In any case, the high price would have likely driven away most potential customers anyway, so it's no surprise the device variant isn't seeing a worldwide release.
