For the past two years, the Galaxy S phones have landed at predictable prices. The vanilla model has been $799, the Plus model has been $999, and the Ultra model has been $1,199. It’s been that way since 2021.
However, a new rumor (via 9to5Google) suggests that might not be the case when it comes to Samsung Galaxy S23 prices. The rumor suggests that pricing could go up significantly, actually.
