Samsung Galaxy S6 prices to start at €699 in Europe, the S6 edge 128 GB might cost €1,049

The last year GS5 started at €745...You people complaint everytime even when it's good. I think if one day HTC or LG got a 128Gb modele, the price will be the same, just look at the LG G Flex start price how much it cost

I meant paying 100€ more for a step up in memory which costs the manufacturers very little.

Indeed. Don't come defend Samsung. Samsung isn't your fathers company. It's ridiculous to price it so much higher with every upgrade. They even had an article about it where they bashed Apple for it. Samsung deserves the same treatment.

Prices of Samsungs devices will drop quickly, iPhones are expensive all the time.

And their value is up all the time, you don't lose much when reselling, you loose s**tloads when reselling any android phone. At the end an iphone is a better investment. Since you are talking about pricing.

unless you are the second hand buyer. Mint, hardly used Note 4 goes for 475- 550€ over here. I for one welcome any price drops.

agree, like Note 4, their current price in my country dropped about 150 USD from their first-announced price. and don't even bother to talk about their re-sell value.

It's about the price of the memory increase, not the starting price of the handset.

Given that the specs are the latest in technology and far better than iPhone, the €899 ($1072 in our country) can be somehow justified for the 128gb model. But since I'm not an early adopter, I'd like to see user reviews on April and May before deciding to buy this to see if the new touchwiz can optimize battery life and will not hog the internal storage too much just like what HTC One M9 did which is 21 out of 32gb ouch!

No, they aren't. $650-$850 for the iPhone 6, and $750-$950 for the iPhone 6 Plus. The S6 and S6 Edge are nice, but as it has been proven time and again, Apple owns the premium segment. I think this will hurt Samsung more than it will help.

By the way, the Edge would be the one I would choose, but I'm not sure I want to pay $100 more for just better looks than the normal S6.

yeah they aren't i waited to late to edit what i said lol. and yeah i want the edge but idk if im willing to pay 300 for it, id definitely pay 250 tho. probably end up going with 32 s6

It's all good. We've all done it.

48. dimas (Posts: 2525; Member since: 22 Jul 2014)

And samsung price drops quickly in a few months. Just be careful not to buy a clone model.

until sony sells its business and the chances of getting support for updates will be non existant.

Just upload what you not using to the fre 100hb cloud, get with 2015 mate

€1050 is the price with EU taxes. Price in the US should be about $1050 (usually it's 1:1). Still quite a lot. But as Apple shows, base version is most popular and base S6 has 32GB, while base iPhone just 16GB. I just thought that Edge will be $50-$100 extra, $150 is a little bit too much.

18. theguy2345 (Posts: 1216; Member since: 24 Jun 2014)

Any way you look at it, it is just crazy expensive. And $150 is a lot. Your right, 50-100 makes more sense

19. John-Knotts (Posts: 343; Member since: 28 Feb 2015)

Yes, phones are expensive.

27. theguy2345 (Posts: 1216; Member since: 24 Jun 2014)

I am okay with paying $600, for a phone, as I am paying now. But $1000, don't you think that is a bit much, considering its competitors are around $600.
