Samsung’s special Note 8 edition with 256GB storage is twice the iPhone X price

iPhone X is standard issue while this Note 8 is "special edition" with a fixed number of units. It may be double the price but that's not the point of it's release.

It's funny (and quite ironic too) to see iPA criticizing the price of a phone.

iPhone X and note 8 256gb both are cheaper than lg v30 special edition that make out of ceramic, 256gb storage and 6 gig of ram for korean market only and it does cost 1800$?!

2017 trend was 18:9 aspect ratio plus phone makers throwing the bezeless all around,2018 will be all about pricing.as I said before if smartphones can't match at least a gtx 1050 then no smartphone is worth a thousand dollars

Best phone out, hands down.

Apple iPhone X 256GB $1149 before taxes.

You said this phone is $1800.

$1149 x 2 = 2298 before taxes. I don't see how that is double the price.

According to thishttps://qz.com/1106603/where-the-iphone-x-is-cheapest-and-most-expensive-in-dollars-pounds-and-yuan/, Hungary has the most expensive cost of an iPhone X at a value of $1455USD before local taxes are applied.

Are you referring to the base 64GB iPhone X? Because then that wouldn't even be a fair comparison considering the Note 8 you are referring too is 256GB

"Samsung’s special Note 8 edition with 256GB storage is twice the iPhone X price"

Sounds like someone failed their junior high school math class...

2 × $1149 =/= $1800

And that's the iPhone X price in the US, it's even more overpriced in other countries.

Either way, this is a limited edition device, not a mainstream variant.

In my country, a 256gb iphone x will cost you $1,500 after tax. So if I still want to use my 200gb sandisk, I will just add $300-330 and I have a note 8 with 456gb storage. Not cheap but still a good deal for storage-hungry users.

In my country X cost 1270$ for 256gb and you can get it even cheaper for used one with excellent condition around 850$.

A256gb flash storage card does not justify a $900 price increase.

The 256gb iPhone X in Korea is actually around $1430 USD and the Note 8's special edition will be sold for $1830 USD.
