Samsung Galaxy S8 may be 15-20% more expensive than the S7

19 December 2016
The figures come from experts at Goldman Sachs, who think the S8 will cost more to make than the S7, and this will reflect in the final price.

Sort by:

its very strange that there arent many breaking news about notes exploding after the official recall was announced..it was not like sammy did it in one swoop..they took their time...there should have been atleast half the number of booms since the recall

    how many people need or buy flagship phone every year?

      I think its only fair to increase the price, samfans will pay it, after all they paid a premium in the past for the simplest plastic phones on the market and i have to admit i did too, the Note 2 was not only one of the most expensive phones i had but also the most disappointing, not my proudest moment... so plasticky and full of useless features that didnt even work as advertised, cant get worse than that no matter the price.

        That's a nominal price increase, hopefully Samsung gives the people their moneys worth unlike certain companies *coughsonycough* And if the Pixel XL can sell really well, best believe the S8 packed to the brim with specs will too just on brand recognition alone lol

          Frenna, 19 Dec 2016Yeah I almost forgot about Nokia but I did read the rumors ... moreUpgoing people immediately knew the nokia rumors were fake and by the time you commented the rest of the world knew also.

            This is only speculation. I highly doubt Samsung will raise the price as that will further alienate their customers and they can't afford that after the Note 7 debacle.

              If the price become enormous, costumers will change it mind and will choose between cheaper alternatives. Numerous chinese phones have excellent specs.too ...

                      ethereal, 20 Dec 2016Waterproofing and good louder speakers doesn't fit into the... moreAnd that too into a smaller/compact profile!

                        Frenna, 19 Dec 2016Yeah I almost forgot about Nokia but I did read the rumors ... moreWaterproofing and good louder speakers doesn't fit into the same sentence for Sony, unfortunately.

                          AnonD-163230, 20 Dec 2016i want from samsung to understand the returning of nokia They would take it as a sign of hope that a fail company can rise again after a few years.

                            I don't care even if it is 100% more expensive!

                            Since I'm not going to fall for the same Samsung crap once again!! :))

                                What Would be the Reason Why Does Samsung Will Going To Over Price This Thing ? As What I Have noticed ? Customers Want To have A Device That Is Have The Best Spec./Capability/Durability/ With A Deserving Price Not A Over Priced Junk. If This Phone Will Go Out In the Market More Or Less Some Of The Customer Would Never Satisfied For The Price Of It.
