Samsung Galaxy S8 listed for pre-order in the UK at £799
The
Samsung Galaxy S8 is a few weeks away from announcement, not to mention a month
and a half from being available, but UK retailer MobileFun is already taking pre-orders.
Putting aside all the rush, it's the price of the handset that we find most
intriguing here.
The
number is £799, and for that you'd be getting a 64GB version of the smaller,
5.8-inch, non-Plus model. That's a pretty hefty sum, especially when you think
of the Galaxy S7's price at launch, which was £549. Even the S7 edge was a much
easier to swallow £639 a year ago.
Of
course, MobileFun's price may just be a placeholder, and a conservatively
picked one at that - once the phone becomes official the number may end up
being lower. A few of us here that were denied a Note7 sure hope so. Other
pricing rumors circulating around seem equally discouraging, though.
