How much the Samsung Galaxy S23 will cost in the US
The US pricing reportedly came from an internal document sourced from Verizon. It shows that the range has a marketing codename of "DM1" (Diamond) for the Galaxy S23, "DM2" for the Galaxy S23+, and the "DM3" translating to an Ultra variant.
More importantly, the material says there will be no price shakeup happening in the country except on the Galaxy S23 Plus which is getting a higher 256 GB base model to make up for the $100 price difference. Higher configurations are also offered but information on those is not listed.
Samsung Galaxy S23 will be priced higher in Australia and France
Galaxy fans in the land Down Under are among those unlucky ones. According to 9to5Google, the three models will be priced higher compared to last year's offering. Each will be $100 more expensive to be exact but the Galaxy S22+ is said to be arriving with bigger onboard storage as a baseline.
The same fate awaits those residing in Europe. A Twitter user named BillbilKun forecasted a steep increase in the country and that may be applied to other European countries as well. Buying the Galaxy S23 will be the most disadvantageous in the region. Based on the listing, the Galaxy S23 will retail from €959 (US$ 1039) all the way to €1419 (US$ 1537) for the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
However, it should be noted that pricing for these two markets is usually inclusive of taxes, which are unlike in the US which doesn't include the necessary VAT on the displayed prices.
