Why trust Greenbot
At the end of June, Samsung wanted to make sure that they left the month with plenty to talk about. The best way to do that is to announce a bunch of devices at the same time, and that’s where four new “budget handsets” come into play. Missing from the announcement was a launch date (or window) and pricing, but at least part of that has been fixed now.
Thanks to a report from SamMobile, based on a release made by Samsung Netherlands, we now have the price tags for three of the four new handsets. Perhaps it won’t come as a surprise to most, but based on the internals within the devices, the connected price tags seem to be a bit high. For instance, the Galaxy Core II, will cost €179, or about $244. The Galaxy Ace 4 will set someone back €219, or about $299. The Galaxy Young 2 is the cheapest of the three, set at €99, or about $135.
Motorola wasn’t the first company out there to set lower-than-expected prices for reasonable devices, but considering the company’s lineup and price tags, it is still surprising to see Samsung pricing these devices as such. There’s a chance that they see a price drop whenever they land in international markets, though, so maybe that’s something to hold out for. No final release dates have been provided just yet.
