Samsung Galaxy Note 9 price said to be same as Galaxy Note 8

Samsung Galaxy Note8

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 9 base price in Korea will reportedly be the same as the Galaxy Note 8 release price.
  • This is despite the report suggesting the base model will have double the storage.
  • The price has also apparently been set for the rumored 512GB model.

The price of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has reportedly been set in Korea. According to ETNews, the base model of the phone will have 128GB storage and cost 1,094,500 won (around $971.00). This is the same as the release price of the base model Galaxy Note 8, but with double the storage.

Samsung will also reportedly release a 512GB version that will cost 1,353,000 won (around $1,201). This is more expensive than last year’s top-end model but, like the base model, will have double the storage. ETNews says that this is less than Samsung had planned to sell the phone for.

Unfortunately, the report did not confirm whether or not the 512GB version would come with 8GB of RAM as previous rumors have suggested.

Of course, even if true, these prices only relate to Korea. However, from them, we can guess that in other markets the price of the Galaxy Note 9 may be similar to the price of the Galaxy Note 8; in the U.S., the Note 8 started at $929 unlocked, and in the U.K., £869.00.

There are also likely to be plenty of offers to sweeten the deal when the phone gets released. Samsung is now taking reservations for the Galaxy Note 9 on its U.S. website and is offering up to $450 off the price of the device if you trade in your old phone. Should the Galaxy Note 9 cost the same as the Galaxy Note 8 in the U.S., with the trade-in deal it could be available for around $500.

Samsung will officially announce the Galaxy Note 9 on Aug. 9 at a Samsung Unpacked event. Current rumors suggest that as well as increased storage, the device could get a bigger battery and a Bluetooth enabled S-Pen.

HTC U12 Plus: Price, availability, deals, and release date

The HTC U12 Plus is worthy of your attention. Even if it isn’t quite a cult device like the OnePlus 6, it holds its own against any device on the market in terms of specs, performance, and camera performance. It might even beat most of them.

So, how much is it, and where and when can you get it?

HTC launched the U12 Plus in many regions around the world, including in North America, the U.K., Europe, and Australia. Shipments already started in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., though regions like Australia and Spain still have to wait a bit longer.

Editor’s Pick

There are three different color options, including the funky translucent blue, flame red, and your more standard ceramic black (also called titanium black in some regions). We won’t be seeing the flame red available in North America just yet though. Stay tuned on that front because it’s a very nice option if you can get it.

Below you’ll find a list of markets where you can pick up the all-glass, dual-camera front and back HTC U12 Plus, and any deals we can find for you. We’ll update this list as more information becomes available.

The U.S. gets the U12 Plus in two colors: the frosted-back translucent blue and ceramic black. Both are available in the base model, which comes with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The translucent blue option is also available with 128GB of storage, though every version comes with a microSD slot.

You can pick up the base U12 Plus from Amazon and HTC.com for $799, while the 128GB model sells for $849. You can also pick up a Verizon-specific model for $799, though Sprint subscribers are out of luck.

If that is too much money, HTC offers a financing option that offers the base model for $34 each month for 24 months. You can also trade in an older device through HTC’s Trade Up program, though quotes are not that great.

Meanwhile, the base U12 Plus in Canada runs you $1,099 CAD. The 128GB model runs you $1,169 CAD.
