Media Markt, the world's second largest electronics retailer after Best
Buy, and the number one in Europe, has pulled the trigger on the Note 4
pricing in its Russian branch, and it seems that Samsung's
fourth-generation phablet will be priced similar to its predecessors at
launch, meaning that it won't be cheap.
The price in
Russia is claimed to be about 34 490 rubles, which translates to roughly
$940 before carrier subsidies. Given that electronics prices in Europe
and especially in expensive Moscow, are typically 20-30% higher, we can
expect the Note 4 to land for about $750 on this side of the pond. This
is $100 more than the retail price of the S5 at launch, and in line with all Notes and Galaxy S models pricing scheme so far.
Unfortunately,
that also means that the Note 4, as usual, will still probably land for
$299 on major carriers, instead of the typical for a flagship $199 on a
two-year contract, but that's how these things go since the phablet
line's inception. In any case, you will likely be getting a 5.7" Quad HD Super AMOLED display,
a Snapdragon 805 processor, and a 16 MP camera with OIS, making the
Note 4 futureproof at least until the next fall season, so no
complaints.
