Samsung is preparing to launch its new flagship next February. We are already looking forward to seeing what the new Galaxy S23 series will be like , which is said to have a seamless design, an ultra-bright screen, a Snapdragon processor, One UI 5.1 operating system, and the same camera as its predecessor. Now, information related to its price has been leaked which does not surprise us considering the previous rumors.
According to SamMobile , the Galaxy S23 will be priced similarly to the Galaxy S22 despite the company’s falling profits . And it is that, the operating profit of the company fell from 3.36 trillion won in the second quarter of 2022 to 3.24 trillion won in the third quarter of 2022, which represents a decrease of 3.6%. Now, considering that according to rumors Samsung will recycle several of the features of the Galaxy S22 in the Galaxy S23, this news does not seem so surprising to us.
The Galaxy S23 could maintain the launch price of the Galaxy S22, including more expensive components
First of all, it must be said that the market value of the Galaxy S22 has already fallen, so even if the Galaxy S23 has the same launch price as the last generation, it will still be more expensive . And it is fully justified, since it will mount Qualcomm’s newest and most powerful processor, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, and a 200 MP main sensor that is more expensive than the one found in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
In short, Samsung will not increase the profit margin with the Galaxy S23 . In fact, they are probably declining. The reason? If they increase prices, they will lose even more competition with Apple, which took 42% of sales revenue in the third quarter of 2022, clearly being the high-end mobile manufacturer that earns the most money from this business.
Now, another rumor that has spread in recent hours is that Apple will increase the prices of the iPhone 15 compared to the iPhone 14 . If true, Samsung may change its decision at the last minute and launch the Galaxy S23 at a higher price than the Galaxy S22 to make up for the losses. However, some experts point out that Samsung could raise the price of the Galaxy S23 after the iPhone 15 hit the market.
Of course, for now, these are just rumors. Let’s wait for its official launch to the market to know what will really happen with the prices of the Galaxy S23 series .
