As we are moving closer to the official reveal event of the Samsung Galaxy S23 on February 1st, I feel like are there any more secrets left behind the curtains now? There have been leaks of official renders, the device images, key specs, and camera unit upgrades circulating for some time. Now, the latest leak also reveals detail that remained elusive – the pricing. A recently leaked document from Verizon appears to confirm the pricing for the Galaxy S23 in the US.
The leaked document, which surfaced on Reddit’s Samsung Galaxy sub, was shared by established leakers like SnoopyTech. The document appears to be a sales guide for the S23 series. It reveals that Verizon’s retail price for the Galaxy S23 will be $800, the S23+ at $1,000, and the S23 Ultra at $1,200. These prices are for the base models of each variant and each model will be available in two storage and RAM configurations.

Interestingly, these prices are the same as the launch prices for last year’s Galaxy S22. Samsung appears to be sticking with a winning formula, as the $800/$1,000/$1,200 pricing scheme helped the company to ship the most phones of any company in Q1 2022.
For those who may be hesitant about the prices, there are options available. Customers can reserve a Galaxy S23 ahead of time and receive $50 to $100 in Samsung credit to offset the cost. Alternatively, last year’s Galaxy S22 can be found on sale now at the lowest price seen in months.
While the Samsung Galaxy S23 boasts a host of new features and an upgraded camera system, the pricing being similar to last year’s model may not make it the most cost-effective option for everyone. Only time will tell if the Galaxy S23 will prove to be worth the investment.
