Not even Samsung can resist the pinch of inflation
line has been making headlines for all the right reasons, but a new rumor concerning the Korean brand’s upcoming line of mid-range smartphones has us doubting their value to cost-conscious customers.
Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy A14 5G in the US earlier this year for just $200, and the company is preparing to launch the device overseas alongside the Galaxy A34 5G and Galaxy A54 5G. However, tipsterhas managed to get hold of alleged European pricing for all three models, and the news isn’t as good as we hoped.
According to the leak, the Galaxy A14 5G will be priced at €219 for the 64GB version, while the 128GB variants of the Galaxy A34 5G and the Galaxy A54 5G will come in at €419 and €519, respectively. Suffice to say, there are a few things to unpack here. Let’s start with the good news. €219 for the Galaxy A14 5G is still, in our view, a fairly reasonable figure for a capable – if unremarkable – Samsung smartphone. Sure, €219 is a little more than the phone’s $200 US price tag, but European VAT rates typically result in higher product prices in European countries . However, reported pricing for the Galaxy A34 5G and Galaxy A54 5G is not so brilliant.
Again, those figures don’t look too bad on paper, but the latter is considerably higher than the €459 / $449.99 / £399 / AU$699 starting price of the 5G-enabled
