It seems like Samsung\u2019s planning on charging more for the upcoming Galaxy S23 than it did for the S22, at least in some parts of Europe. Reliable leaker Roland Quandt has been posting prospective prices for the phones at European retailers, and for some models it seems like there will be price jumps of 100 euros or more.<\/p>\n

As an example, Quandt says<\/a> the Galaxy S23 will start at \u20ac959 in Spain with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while an Ultra with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage will cost \u20ac1,589. Compare that to the S22, whose versions of those phones cost \u20ac859 and \u20ac1,459 respectively when they\u2019re not on sale, according to . It\u2019s apparently a similar situation in Germany<\/a>, and 9to5Google<\/em> has reported<\/a> that the phones could cost AUS $100 more in Australia. In the Czech Republic<\/a>, the base S23 will cost as much as 1,500 Czech Koruna (roughly \u20ac63) more than its predecessor, according to Quandt\u2019s numbers. <\/p>\n

The S22 to S23 increases may be even sharper in Denmark<\/a>, ranging from an increase of 1,300 Danish Krone (roughly \u20ac175 or $190 USD) for the to a 3,300 Krone increase\u00a0for the top-end . That works out to around \u20ac440 or $480 more than the previous phone. (Ouch.)<\/p>\n

It could be a tough balancing act for Samsung. On one hand, the company\u2019s profits have slowed down significantly in recent months<\/a> \u2014 it recently estimated that its quarterly operating profit had fallen by 69 percent year-over-year, so I\u2019m sure it wouldn\u2019t mind making more money from its flagship phones. On the other hand, Samsung shipped 15.6 percent fewer phones in Q4 2022 than in did in Q4 2021, according to data released this week by analysis firm IDC<\/a>. The phone market is struggling overall, and it\u2019s hard to imagine that higher prices won\u2019t make things even worse.<\/p>\n

The price increases may not be global. In the US, according to 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, the S23 lineup is expected to start at the same prices as current models; $799 for the regular S23, $999 for the S23 Plus, and $1,199 for the S23 Ultra. It\u2019s possible that Samsung wants to avoid losing customers to Apple, which kept its iPhone 14 prices the same in the United States, even though it quietly raised them in quite a few other countries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We only have leaks from a few countries so far; there\u2019s always a chance the increases won\u2019t hit countries like the UK, France, Italy, or South Korea as hard as Denmark. Or, the increases could be even higher. It won\u2019t be long until we find out, though; Samsung is holding its Unpacked event<\/a> on February 1st at 1PM EST.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
