And as such it’ll have smartphone-type specs. The Galaxy S7 (we presume - it’s not official yet) will be a smartphone. In which case Samsung decides to buck the trend and undercut everybody (including itself). The point is, the Galaxy S7 probably will cost a lot. The GS6 edge+ was announced later in the year, but still near $1,000. The 128-gigabyte Galaxy S6 edge started at a whopping $1,014 outright. The 32GB GS6 started at about $700 (after tax) - and two levels up, the 128GB Galaxy S6 hit about $900.īut remember that we’re also expecting a Galaxy S7 edge model. Assuming things start with a 32-gigabyte model, you can assume you’ll spend upwards of $600 USD, at least initially. The less storage the GS7 has, the less it’ll cost. Price always directly relates to the amount of storage on board the phone. And as such, the Galaxy phones tend to command premium prices, at least initially. Probably.Īs for how the Galaxy S7 price will stack up with previous releases, you have to remember that Samsung (rightfully) considers itself to be a premium brand. And because that hasn’t happened yet - and because the GS7 hasn’t actually been announced - anything you’ve read so far is just speculation. It’s possible it could be immediately afterward, but you’ll probably see leaks from the various carrier partners before that happens. So stranger things have happened.Īnd that tells us nothing whatsoever about when the Galaxy S7 would actually become available. The GS5 launch event came just weeks after MWC in 2014. Out of the six Galaxy S phones in existence, only two were announced at MWC - the GS2, and the GS6. Or, it’s entirely possibly the Galaxy S7 won’t be announced there. And while we’ve yet to get any sort of official indication one way or another, it’s entirely possible we’ll see the Galaxy S7 announced there, the last week of February. So we turn our attention to the next big mobile event - Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. And, in fact, it didn’t happen this year. Every year folks like to think the next Galaxy phone will be announced at CES in Las Vegas, and every year folks tend to forget that it will never happen. We don’t yet know when the Galaxy S7 will be announced.
