With Samsung‘s Galaxy Unpacked event drawing close, more information about the upcoming Galaxy products is hitting the internet. Recent leaks have suggested that the new foldables and tablets will cost higher than their respective predecessors. Another source has hinted at a price hike for the Galaxy Tab S9 series.
According to noted tipster SnoopyTech, Samsung will price the base Galaxy Tab S9, which comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, at CAD 1,099 (roughly $835) in Canada. The Galaxy Tab S9+, with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, will come with a price tag of CAD 1,349 (roughly $1,025). Finally, the 12GB+256GB Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra will cost CAD 1,599 (roughly $1,215) in the country.
If this information is correct, Samsung is increasing the prices of its flagship tablets by as much as CAD 200 in Canada. The base Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+, and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra debuted in the country with price tags of CAD 899, CAD 1,149, and CAD 1,399, respectively (via). A previous leak suggested a similar price hike in Europe. The new tablets are said to cost upwards of €930 in the region, notably more than the starting price of €750 for the Galaxy Tab S8 series.
That said, we can’t confirm the authenticity of these alleged Galaxy Tab S9 prices. The same goes for the alleged European prices of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 as well. The figures probably leaked through third-party retailers, which often list unreleased devices with higher price tags. They adjust the prices once the products are on sale. We will let you know when we have more information.
You can already reserve the new Samsung foldables and tablets
Samsung will officially unveil its next-gen foldables and flagship tablets on July 26. The company will host a big launch party, aka the Galaxy Unpacked event, in Seoul, South Korea, for the Galaxy Z Fold 5, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Tab S9 series. The Galaxy Watch 6 series smartwatches will also debut on the same day.
While the official launch is still a couple of weeks away, you can already reserve them. Samsung is allowing its fans to pre-reserve the new foldables, tablets, and smartwatches through its website. You don’t need to pay a penny, but the company will give you a $50 Samsung Credit if you go on to pre-order the devices once they are here. Stay tuned and we will keep you posted with all the latest leaks and rumors about the new Samsung products.
