Samsung Galaxy S II Now Priced Under £500 Unlocked
When the Samsung Galaxy S II first launched back at Mobile World Congress, initial price speculation had the handset going for £600 or more without a carrier contract. When the phone actually launches, however, pricing will be a bit easier on the pocket. Samsung has apparently reduced the price they ask for the S II when selling directly to retailers, translating into a lower cost for the end consumer. One example is UK site Unlocked Mobiles, which is selling the handset for £497.98 (~$813 US) after VAT is included. Still pricey, but not as much as we thought it would be.
Though delays were rumored, the Samsung Galaxy S II has been announced for a May 1st launch for all carriers in the UK.
