MWC 2018 will take place later next month in Barcelona. This means the annual flagships of many manufacturers will debut as soon as in February. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are the most anticipated models for many customers, undoubtedly. Earlier we have heard too much about these models. We have seen too many leaked photos. Seems we know about the upcoming flagships … but the pricing. Last year, many manufacturers have had to increase the pricing of their handsets due to the increased purchase cost of components and exchange rate fluctuations. So it’s been assumed the forthcoming Samsung phones will cost more than the original S8/S8+. Fortunately, it’s going to happen the other way around.
Yesterday, Samsung Chinese President Quan Guixian said in an interview that many manufacturers are increasing the prices of their phones in order to provide a user experience. But the Samsung Galaxy S9’s selling price will be the lowest in the world. This simply means their flagships will cost less than the current models. The latter was announced at 5688 yuan ($888). So the S9 should cost around $800.

The title is dumb and the projected price still too high. But early adopters pay well, I guess.
