The Note 9 is the cheapest, most accessible 512GB phone right now
512GB Find X is $1500
Now, Oppo didn't simply let the "regular" Find X out of the bag, otherwise it wouldn't have bragged with the poster on the right, but only its premium, luxurious Lamborghini edition, which sports insanely fast, 5A VOOC charging, $1500 pricing, and the pretty amazing 512GB storage.
When we say amazing, we mean it, as for now it's only Huawei's Mate RS, Oppo's Find X Lamborghini, and... you guessed it... the Galaxy Note 9 that let you buy half a terabyte storage option.
Well, the Asus ROG gaming phone will also have such model, but it's yet to get a pricing. Heck, that amount is more than what entry-level ultrabooks with flash storage offer on average. Now, let's look at the pricing of these puppies, shall we?
| Phone | Price | RAM |
|---|---|---|
| Huawei Mate RS Porsche Design 512GB | $2500 | 6GB |
| Oppo Find X Lamborghini Edition 512GB | $1500 | 8GB |
| Samsung Galaxy Note 9, no edition, 512GB | $1250 | 8GB |
| Asus ROG 512 GB | n/a | 8GB |
The difference between these 512GB phones, besides the pricing and RAM amounts, is that the Note 9 can be pre-ordered already, and be on your doorsteps about two weeks from now. The Mate RS is available in the West, but mostly in its 256GB option, with the 512-gigger seemingly a scarce commodity even in China, while the Oppo Find X Lamborghini is just going through its Asian release rounds. The Asus ROG Phone 512GB is yet to be priced and launched, but it won't be cheap either, judging from a leaked pre-order post.
Thus, a price with a comma may be startling for those who long for the days of yore when real phones with battle styli used to be 30% less. However, in this day and age of record average prices, buoyed precisely by phones like the Note line or iPhone X, a $1250 tag for the 512GB Note 9 minus deals and gifts is actually nothing to cry home about.
Heck, a microSD card with this capacity is close to $300 alone, and we aren't even talking about a brand-name unit here, like the one you see here that's still to come from Samsung. What do you think?
