The Samsung Galaxy Note 4
unveiling came and went, with an official release date confirmation on
stage, while retailers filled in the gaps on price. The Note 4 would be
available in October, likely for the typical $299 on contract on all
major carriers, with the unsubsidized pricing hovering at the 750 USD or
EUR mark, as usual.
Of course, there will be places
where Samsung's fourth generation phablet will come more expensive.
Media Markt, for instance, the world's second largest electronics
retailer after Best Buy, and the number one in Europe, pulled the
trigger on the Note 4
pricing in its Russian branch, and it seems that Samsung's
fourth-generation phablet will be priced similar to its predecessors at
launch there, meaning that it won't be cheap.
The
price in Russia is said to be about 34, 490 rubles, which translates to
roughly $940 before carrier subsidies. Given that electronics prices in
Europe and especially in expensive Moscow, are typically 20-30% higher,
we can expect the Note 4 to land for about $750 on this side of the
pond. This is $100 more than the retail price of the S5
at launch, and in line with all Notes and Galaxy S models pricing
scheme so far. The pricing in India is said to be 55, 000 Rs, which
translates to north of $900 as well.
In any case, you will likely be getting a 5.7" Quad HD Super AMOLED display,
a Snapdragon 805 processor, and a 16 MP camera with OIS, making the
Note 4 futureproof at least until the next fall season, so no
complaints.
