Galaxy S 6 to be pricey, Galaxy S 6 Edge to be very limited and pricey

I don’t think anyone will be surprised by part of this news. If you were looking to get your hands on the Galaxy S 6 Edge, plan on jumping through hoops because it will be very limited as Samsung won’t be able to produce them fast enough. And not surprisingly, it will be pricey. The 64 GB version will go for €949 and the 128 GB version will be €1,049. That’s €50 more expensive than the iPhone 6 Plus. Converted to U.S. dollars, that’s $1,076 and $1,189 respectively, but it probably won’t work out that way due to extra taxes in Europe.

As to the Galaxy S 6, it appears Samsung won’t be giving them away either. According to a source from Arstechnica, the 32 GB version will go for €749, the 64 GB will be €849, and the 128 GB version will be €949.  Now we can convert these to U.S. Dollars, and you will get $849, $963, and $1,076 respectively, but as mentioned before, it doesn’t always work that way because of European taxes and such. Based on this pricing, it’s possible that the U.S versions will run $799, $899, and $999, but until the carriers announce their real intentions, it’s anyone’s guess. Either way, the Galaxy S 6 will be priced higher than the Galaxy S 5 at launch, which was €650 in Europe and $650 in the U.S. Granted, that was for the 16 GB version, but will Samsung get some push back from consumers with this pricing model?
