The Samsung Galaxy S23 is rumored to cost an additional 150 Euros (+specs)
According to a recent report by WinFuture journalist Roland Quandt, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 models are expected to be 100 to 150 euros more expensive in Europe than their predecessors.
Quandt cites prices from a Spanish retailer. According to the report, the least expensive Galaxy S23 model would retail for 959 euros, compared to 859 euros for the S22 at launch. The S23 Ultra is expected to start at 1409 euros, compared to 1259 euros for the S22 Ultra. Additionally, the S23+ is reportedly priced at 1209 euros at the Spanish retailer, a significant increase of 150 euros compared to the 1049 euros at which the S22+ was released. Prices will be a notch lower or higher as VAT rates differ per country. The new, even more, minimal design of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ is an evolution rather than a reinvention when compared to its predecessors. So that the optics only stick out slightly from the back, Samsung primarily "removes" the camera hump and refines a few details on the case. Samsung is expected to unveil the new models at an Unpacked event next week, which is expected to showcase the new phones.

A smartphone must be small, cheap, if possible "bendable" some day in future and durable like leather, so I can use it like my leather wallet.
There's nothing more boring than a smartphone. Still on a S10e. Years ago, it was the smallest some kind of "up-to-date" phone I could get, think it was €350.- or so, new.

I just keep buying $200-$300 Motorola phones and they keep doing the job. Boring but good.

High end phones nowadays are more fashion items than gadgets, and there are plenty of people who don't mind paying big bucks for them...
Smart informed buyers are no long the target audience. There's apparently enough stupid people out there with more money than they know what to do with. Almost getting into whale territory as the distribution of wealth is all out of wack.

I bought a Samsung A52s last year for €300, really happy with it. I do not need a €1500 phone at all. Times have changed. Now the cheap variants are fast enough for apps and internet. That certainly wasn't the case in the past.

Meanwhile I got last year the Poco x3 pro 8/256 for 220 euros ... And I am more than happy with it! ! I really can not find any justification to pay 1000 extra for a flagship !
