The price of the Galaxy Note 9 has just leaked, and you will not like it – BGR

Almost exactly in a month, the Galaxy Note 9 will be available in stores, so all the recent rumors we've heard are accurate. The phone will be officially unveiled August 9 in New York and launched two weeks later, August 24. But, while some of you probably want to buy the phone as soon as possible, you should know that you may have to spit some serious money to get one. According to a new leak, the note 9 could be even more expensive than its predecessor.

Recent reports have indicated that the phone would cost at least as much as the Galaxy Note 8 of last year, and a new report from Europe suggests that's exactly the case. By Tutto Android the phone will be launched on August 24 in Italy in three colors including black, lavender and blue, the latter sporting a yellow S Pen Pen similar to what we saw in the Press releases leaked

The phone will come in two storage options in the country, including 128GB and 512GB, which will sell for € 1,029 and € 1,279, respectively. Converted to US dollars, we value $ 1,204 and $ 1,497. The report notes that these prices could actually increase when the phone will be released next month.

You should know that prices include VAT in Europe compared to the United States. For example, the $ 999 iPhone X sells for $ 1,159 in Europe. This means that the ticket 9 entry price should be lower in the United States than the conversion above, as it will not include tax. But the Galaxy Note 8 cost 950 dollars in America and 999 euros in Europe. If Tutto Android information is accurate, it means that the Galaxy Note 9 will be more expensive than $ 950 in the United States.

It is likely that Samsung and its partners will offer early buyers several offers to sweeten the pot, and that you will be able to upgrade from an existing Galaxy phone to Note 9 at a lower price. But you might be better off waiting a few months for the price to drop. After all, Android phones, including Galaxy flagship devices, do not retain their value as well as the iPhone, so you might be able to buy a cheaper Galaxy Note 9 in time for Christmas. Remember, the Galaxy S9 and S9 + have had big price drops less than a month after their release.

Finally, the report states that Samsung will launch additional products alongside the Galaxy Note 9, including the Galaxy Watch, which loses Gear moniker, and the Galaxy Tab S4 tablet that appeared in so reports lately.
