So GSMArena now take infos from a retailer? Lol c'mon these phones are launching in 12 days can't we just sit back and wait? Rather than spread misinformation from an unreliable leak, I don't if this is done to cause some kind of argument in the cs but whatever. We all know retailers hike phone prices and also reduce them when they don't have sales it's nothing new.

Doubt that rumor. Samsung will half their sales if they go for such prices. We all know how their prices fall after 3-6 months as well.. so i wouldn't worry at this stage

Companies are not charity. Want cheaper phones? Buy last year’s flagship instead. The S24 are still great phones with long software updates.

Meanwhile, factually, consumer upgrade cycle is getting longer as people are staying with their current phone longer.

Anonymous, 11 hours agoYeah..but in 4 years from now Samsung and iPhone user still... moremost people also won't mind their phone not updating. only apps not working. and most apps do still work for phones that are 7 or 8 years old and have only had 2 os updates. my brother has had an s8 since it release till a few months back when he decided to upgrade because the phone physically looked bad. another relative is using an old a8 from 2018 with no issues. you're not thinking straight. you're overestimating the importance of updates, yes they're good but they're not the be all end all, you're actually only using this argument because it's the only one you have left to justify not going for anything that's not samsung or apple.

Yet, most still choose to switch phones in 3-4 years, if not less.
"Yeah..but in 4 years from now Samsung and iPhone user still get latest OS and security patches for another 3 years."
Makes no difference, if anything the hardware is less and less capable to run the latest OS and becomes slower with every update.

Many don't get a salary hike of 100$ per year because the companies are greedy and reward the entitled shareholders instead, yet same companies are increasing their prices for absolute no reason besides profits, not blaming only Sammy here, every company does this. When they not sell enough, they make a Pikachu face, ignore the actual problem, complaints that targets were not reached and proceeds to fire people to reach said goals. F them all

Those don't look like real prices at all, still a price hike is expected due to chipset, but even so when they barely change anything it shouldn't cost more just because of one component.
