Pricing for Samsung’s low-end smartphones revealed

A few days back, Samsung introduced the lineup of its new low-end handsets targeted to those looking for their first smartphone. They run Android KitKat out of the box which makes them attractive to interested buyers that are on the prowl for a new phone. Samsung Netherlands revealed the pricing so scroll past the break to see them.

(No pricing, but most likely close to Young 2’s price)

As you may have noticed, the price points are inexplicably expensive considering they’re just entry level handsets and are targeted at first-time buyers. We could think of many other devices with better specs than these and they come way cheaper. Though this may be the case, we should consider that these are priced in Netherlands and they may have a different arrangement of pricing their devices there.

For now, let’s just see how Samsung will price them when they arrive in Asia.

Mabibili pa din daw yang mga yan kahit op kumpara sa Pinoy brand cheap china odm phones. Kesyo matibay at sikat ang pangalan daw. Sa totoo lang kain lugaw mga models na yan sa myphone rio… Pero syempre mas madami ang basta lang bumibili, walang research research… Nakakainis man sigurado mabibili pa rin mga basurang yan…

PS. Mas mura ang presyo ng mga yan pag nilabas sa pinas, ibang iba ang europe pricing kumpara sa asia at di ubra na direct conversion…

IMO.. wala ng lugar ang mga branded phones na low end specs if ganyan pricing nila. mas better kung mag ipon ka pa for mid-range / high -end smartphones or kung wala ka talagang budget go for local brands instead..
