Samsung could raise the price of one Galaxy S23 model but it won’t sting much

Only the Galaxy S23 Ultra will be costlier

Per the leaker, prices will remain unchanged on the standard Galaxy S23 and the Galaxy S23 Plus. That means we can expect the 8GB/128GB Galaxy S23 to cost $799 and the 8GB/256GB model to retail for $849. Similarly, the S23 Plus will cost the same as its predecessor, meaning the 8GB/128GB variant will go for $999 and the 8GB/256GB version will set you back $1,049.

Now, even though the S23 and S23 Plus are rumored to feature a new processor, bigger batteries, a fresh back design, and a new selfie camera, most users won’t see these changes as monumental, so it would be difficult to justify a price increase.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra could be costlier than its successor though. The base Galaxy S22 Ultra with 128GB of storage costs $1,199. RGcloudS says that storage will start at 256GB this year, which aligns with an earlier rumor, and the entry-level model with 8GB of RAM will cost $1,249. That would be a price increase of $50. The 12GB/512GB model will require you to cough up $1,349 and the 12GB/1TB model could retail for $1,499.

Samsung seems quite confident that consumers will be willing to pay a high amount for the S23 Ultra. Also, the new price will likely not sting much, given the phone will also have more storage.
