Galaxy S9 and S9+ may be the most expensive Samsung S-line phones ever
Not that it comes as a huge surprise, given that we just had the most expensive year on record in terms of average smartphone prices, but a leaker with a good track record tips that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will fit comfortably into that trend, and become the most expensive phones in the history of Samsung's flagship S-line. As you may recall, the Galaxy S7 started at $650, its successor Galaxy S8 at $750, and we shudder to think what this might mean for the Galaxy S9.
Are we looking at an $800 starting price here? Please let Ricciolo be wrong, but, when it comes to pricing, the guy has correctly predicted the tags range of Samsung's S-line phones for a few years in a row. Granted, that variable camera aperture doesn't come cheap, as Samsung's first phone with it - the W2018 clamshell - can attest, but still, those prices will indeed be getting out of hand, if this rumor holds water on February 25, when the Galaxy S9 is expected to be announced.
Sorry but your leakers are WRONG... #GalaxyS9#GalaxyS9Plus DUO are going to be annouced 25 FEBRUARY ! Prepare your money... the most EXPENSIVE GALAXY EVER... pic.twitter.com/r7PeMsSxVM
