One of the things Samsung did not reveal during its
surprisingly simple Galaxy S6 event — compared to previous theatrics performed
on stage during Galaxy S announcements — was pricing details for its handsets.
Reports, however, revealed unconfirmed price points for the 32GB, 64GB and
128GB Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge models, at least the Europeans ones,
suggesting the curved model everyone seems to favor might be significantly more
expensive than you think.
As it turns out, even Samsung U.K. now seems to indicate
that buying a Galaxy S6 edge might be a bit harder on your wallet than you were
hoping.
FROM EARLIER: Prices for Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 edge leaked
Spotted initially by SamMobile, Samsung U.K.’s Galaxy S6 and
Galaxy S6 edge page only shows two models when it comes to storage size, the 64GB
and 128GB ones. For some reason, the 32GB model is left out, though if you’re
selecting the regular Galaxy S6 model you’ll immediately see a 32GB version pop
up.
Samsung U.K. doesn’t list pricing points for these storage
versions at this time, but the recent price leak suggested that the cheapest
Galaxy S6 will cost €699, while the most affordable edge model will retail for
€849 in the region. These are prices for the 32GB models, with each additional
memory tier costing an extra €100, keeping the difference between the regular
and curved models with similar storage at €150.
Assuming these prices are accurate for Europe, that might
mean getting a Galaxy S6 edge could cost U.K. buyers significantly more than
expected. On the other hand, considering that you can’t add more storage to any
of the Galaxy S6 versions since both of them lack microSD slots, going for the
64GB version might be the better choice for many buyers, assuming your wallet
can handle the extra strain.
It’s not clear at this time whether Samsung U.K.’s listing
is an accident, as the company has yet to publish similar Galaxy S6 pages on
its other local sites.
