SAMSUNG is expected to charge between £900/$900 and £1,300/$1,300 for its next smartphone.
The long-rumoured Galaxy S20 will likely launch in the next few weeks – and could burn a sizeable hole in your pocket.
On February 11, we’re expecting Samsung to unveil its iPhone challenger for 2020.
Samsung is staying mum about the details, but information is still leaking out online.
Now prominent developer and leaker Max Weinbach has revealed what he claims are the prices for the Samsung Galaxy S20.
And it looks like it will cost gadget fans a pretty penny to upgrade.
According to Weinbach, the base Galaxy S20 model will cost €900 to €1,000.
For the current Galaxy S10, Samsung charges €699 in Europe, £699 in the UK and $699 in the USA.
So we’d expect the Galaxy S20 to cost around £1,000 in Britain and $1,000 in the US.
Weinbach also claimed that the Galaxy S20+ would cost €1,050 to €1,100 – likely £1,100 in the UK and $1,100 in the US.
And for the rumoured Galaxy S20 Ultra, we’re expecting a €1,300 price tag.
That would cost Brits £1,300 and Americans $1,300.
Samsung still hasn’t confirmed the existence of a Galaxy S20.
But the firm is hosting a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 11, where several S20 handsets are likely to be announced.
We’re expecting support for 5G, huge improvements to zoom on the camera, and a more powerful processor on board.
However, take all rumours and leaks with a pinch of salt until an official announcement is made.
