Because people will buy it. Plenty of options for people who don't want to spend that.

They look absolutely fantastic and I'm a much bigger fan of the cutout than I was of the notch, but the prices are crazy.

Good thing about Samsung phones though is that they always go down by a few hundred if you wait a few months and don't buy on launch.

biebiebie · 07-02-2019 5:55pm

Supposed to be new Samsung wirelessly charged ear buds being launched also worth €150?

And as the S10 can wirelessly charge other devices, you can leave the buds resting on the S10 itself to charge!

Have read that early orders will have an offer of the buds for free!

Rumours going around say they'll be offering the buds for free on pre-order, that probably swings it for me for upgrading my work phone, I have a Note 9 for personal use and was going to wait for the Note 10 but the free buds will probably make me buy these as I didn't like the idea of 2 Notes

rizzee · 09-02-2019 11:18pm

Keeping a close eye on the rumors and leaks on Gsmarena and phonearena the last few weeks . Going to tune in on the launch day and see the full spec & price and make my desicion Vs Mate 20 Pro / P30 / whatever else is announced in the next few weeks

Davexirl · 10-02-2019 7:46am

Looking forward to the launch of this phone. It's time to upgrade my S7 Edge.

Exactly the same here

Happy with my S9+ for now but may swap for a Note 9 yet. I don't like the cut out for the front camera at all. I'd rather a thin bezel than silly compromises like this.

In my opinion in you are going for a big phone like the 9+ then you'd be better going for the note, they are pretty much the same phone except the Note shades it in a few places slightly but the pen is so handy you'll never know how you did without it.

PTH2009 · 12-02-2019 12:40am

Due an upgrade from the S8 but the cost even on a contract is turning me off

The S10 lite is not much of an upgrade looking at the rumoured specs/battery life etc

The normal s10 will still cost a huge amount but sounds a lot better than my current s8

I'm trying to not believe this 750+ price for the S10e, I know it's a direct competitor to the iPhone XR but that is crazy. I'd simply go for the Mate 20 Pro in that case, no brainer.

Clareman · 12-02-2019 9:33am

I wouldn't be going near a flagship phone if it wasn't through work, the thoughts of being tied into a long contract as well as a big initial fee gives me ire. I heard somewhere that the S10 will be around €300 on upgrade from Vodafone

dan786 · 12-02-2019 2:24pm

The new wireless earbuds will be coming free with pre-orders.Will help lower the price a bit but still insanely expensive.

Their latest teaser hints at the foldable phone also being announced.

I think they are going to be just showing the foldable rather than announcing a release, I think I'd go for the foldable rather than the S10, great conversation starter and I like big screens

biebiebie · 12-02-2019 2:53pm

The foldable (Galaxy X, Galaxy F, Galaxy Fold) will probably be at a very premium price though?
Upwards of €1500 I've seen touted.

May have to wait until 2020 for other manufacturers to jump on the bandwagon for prices to become more realistic?

I'm not paying for it anyway, if I had to pay for my phones I'd still be using a Nokia :pac::pac::pac:

Yeah I heard that too, rrp150 apparently, not bad. Pre ordering canary yellow one next week for the misses so I might hold onto them if they come included.

PTH2009 · 12-02-2019 7:49pm

I'm on the 3 classic flex max

The price of the s10 will still be pretty high ???

What's the next best phone I could get ? Want an upgrade from the s8. Can't believe it's 2 years since it came out times flies

The Note 9 is coming down in price but I don't think there's a huge improvement from the 8 to the 9, I'd probably wait until they come down in price, the S8 is still better than a lot of phones on the market.

Looks like a JBL charge 3 speaker and a case is including with the ear buds. In Vietnam at least.

dan786 · 14-02-2019 12:18am

Unlikely to be the same here. They already have pre-sales in Vietnam and Philippines which started earlier this week and are bundling extras with them there.

Clareman · 14-02-2019 9:07am

Some leak sites are reporting in the US that you can get up to $550 trade in offers so I guess all pre-orders will be local offers, hopefully Vodafone have a decent offer

PTH2009 · 15-02-2019 3:57pm

If trade in works here I'm fecked cause the screen on my S8 is cracked on the corners

Hoping for a decent price on bill pay for three. On Classic flex max with insurance

Her S8 has a small crack on it but mint otherwise, I'll be sticking it up on Adverts for 200 quid next week. There's always a buyer out there.

AllForIt · 16-02-2019 8:37pm

As someone who carries his phone in his trousers pocket I don't see the benefit of a foldable phone as it will be twice as thick in the pocket when folded where imo it's more comfortable the tinner it is no matter how long it is!

S10 isn't foldable but I believe they are announcing a foldable device.

Clareman · 16-02-2019 8:52pm

My left pocket is always just used for my phone and I often have 2 phones on me so the thickness won't bother me

OldMrBrennan83 · 16-02-2019 8:54pm

With demand and a limited release, not to mention price, not many of us are going to have to worry about doing anything with the foldable phone.

I know, was just speaking generally as foldable phone was mentioned in the thread.

PTH2009 · 17-02-2019 11:57am

The iPhone XS 64GB is €779 on my plan atm

I'll be having second thoughts if the s10 will be the same price

I need a phone with expandable memory as I have all my photos/vids saved on a 256GB micro SD card. That rules the Huawei pro 20 out

dan786 · 17-02-2019 2:44pm

The foldable phone was leaked in a teaser by Samsung Vietnam. It looks ok, but if your use to the curved screen and thin phone it will not be for you.

Huawei also unveiling theirs on the 24th.

Why would anyone pay that much and be tied to a contract. Might aswell buy it directly from apple for a few hundred more. Networks seem to be discounting top end phones less and less lately. I am out of contract on S8+ this summer but i wont be getting new one at those prices

Too sides too bill pay vs pay as you go (or whatever it's called nowadays)

Bill pay wins for me cause of the unlimited data

Text messaging and to a small extent calls are a thing of the past now with Facebook, What'sapp etc.

I'll decide when I see the price of S10.

bidiots · 18-02-2019 5:01pm

They are plenty of pay as you go options that would suit you better, Vodafone x etc

5star02707 · 19-02-2019 4:50pm

I was on bill pay for about 10 years and was paying Meteor/Eir €45 p/m for unlimited calls and texts with 5gb of data. I switched to 3 PAYG in January, €20 p/m top up for unlimited data and free 3 to 3 calls which suits me perfectly. I'll never go back to bill again.

Interesting but 1 question if u don't top up every 28 days do u lose the unlimited data ??

Clareman · 19-02-2019 7:29pm

I'm on Virgin Media €25 a month Sim Only unlimited and really can't fault it, great coverage between Ennis and Dublin (I can stream YT Music all the way)

I top up, get the unlimited data and also keep the €20 credit. If you don't top up, it will use your credit. Its the best deal around for me anyway, I always had flagship phones but switched to Chinese android about 2 years ago so have no need to get a bill and that astronomical cost for the phone.

You on three?

Been on eir with no unlimited data and they take my credit too.

Now on tree, I keep my credit, unlimited data, and I use the 3 rewards app regularly for great offers like €5 off delivering(monthly) and more.

Davy · 19-02-2019 8:43pm

Guys, can we keep the billpay V PAYG to the main mobiles forum.
This thread is specifically for the S10 which is being announced tomorrow.

dan786 · 19-02-2019 8:56pm

Trailer of the phone, reveals most of the new features etc. Free earbuds with pre-orders. Not a great offer but will bring the cost down a bit. February 20 and March 7. Excludes S10e

MarkY91 · 19-02-2019 9:53pm

For people who are considering the s10, what other phones are you also considering?

I'm kind of bored of Samsung and the camera is crap compared to the Google pixel which has the worst notch imaginable.

OldMrBrennan83 · 19-02-2019 9:55pm

If you think the camera on what's presumably an S9 is crap then you should probably buy a phone and a camera separately.

You don't notice the notch on a 3XL after the first 5 minutes of using it.

Compared to the pixel it is. Portrait mode etc are leaps and bounds above the s9 which said it's "the camera reimagined".

But you can turn off notch and leave it off.

Samsungs do have incredibly bad cameras, the S9 range and Note are shocking for the price. I'm hope the S10 is sorted.

Clareman · 19-02-2019 10:27pm

I'm a Samsung fanboy and I have an upgrade waiting for my work phone, I'll either get the S Fold or wait for the Note 10 I think

I've noticed no difference in the camera for a couple of years now and the changing aperture on the s9 is such a waste.

I was blown away by the pictures I could take using the pixel camera port on the s8(they don't seem to work on s9).

So basically, the S10 reveal tomorrow will be make or break if I finally move to another phone or not

Samsung S10, S10 Plus, S10 E, S10 5G
