This is the country with the most expensive Galaxy S23 in the world: If you want to buy it, you have to pay 10 million more than the price in Vietnam

Where to buy the cheapest and most expensive Galaxy S23?

Analysts predicted that the Samsung Galaxy S23 would storm the Android phone market when it was launched in February 2023 and this expectation was not wrong.

Samsung has dominated the high-end Android segment this year and a few years ago, just like on the other side, when the latest iPhones have always won praise from iOS fans and critics alike.

Another similarity with Apple devices is the high price tag Samsung devices charge, with the Galaxy S23 model selling for a suggested $799 in the US. Prices in Vietnam currently fluctuate at 19-20 million.

Regarded as one of the smallest yet most powerful phones in the world, the Samsung Galaxy S23 is powered by the latest chip from Qualcomm with impressive specs and features.

If you are a fan of the Galaxy S23 and want to buy Samsung home products at this time, while still wanting to balance your finances, consider the price of the device being sold in many parts of the world. If you are traveling in cheap countries, you can buy a Samsung phone to save some money.

Note that the price of the Galaxy S23 in the US is actually $799 more than the list price. It depends on the state, but usually costs close to $880 including sales tax.

Meanwhile, prices in other countries may or may not include sales tax. That means that as a tourist when you come to this country, you will be buying at a cheaper price.

According to Android Authority, China, Vietnam’s neighbor country is currently the cheapest place to buy Samsung Galaxy S23, followed by Singapore and Australia.

In particular, China is selling Galaxy S23 for $ 730 (VND 17.1 million). Australia and Singapore are at 791 and 776 USD respectively.

Also, right here in Samsung’s home country is South Korea, where the 128GB version isn’t currently available, but the 256GB model costs just $817. This is a reasonably priced device.

The most expensive places listed to buy the Samsung Galaxy S23 are Mexico and Brazil, where the selling price often exceeds $1,200 (VND 28.2 million). The price is considered too expensive to own a basic device in Samsung’s S23 series, when it is nearly 10 million VND higher than the price in Vietnam.

The comparison above is taken from the price of a Galaxy S23 on each country’s Samsung website. In other words, this is the official manufacturer-designated price for that country.

This comparison also doesn’t take into account the renewal or promotional offers that vendors offer to the market. Although Galaxy phones are quite expensive, Samsung often has a policy of selling at lower prices to increase sales.

Example: At the time of this writing, you can buy a Galaxy S23 for $699.99 on Amazon in the US, saving up to $100.

Should I buy Galaxy S23 in another country?

If you’re going to a country where Galaxy S23 prices are lower, buying the phone during your trip can save some money.

Citizens of countries like Mexico can save considerable money by purchasing a Galaxy S23 in another country. But if you’re a US resident, it won’t save you much money buying a Galaxy S23 overseas.

The reason is because the US still has cheap prices. The costs associated with traveling to other countries to buy a phone can sometimes exceed your savings.

Taxes play an important role in explaining why the Galaxy S23 is cheaper or more expensive in different countries. When determining phone prices, sales tax and import tax are taken into account to ensure Samsung still makes a good profit from sales.

In addition, during economic downturns, the value of each country’s currency can fluctuate significantly against the USD. The dollar, for example, has fallen about 10% against the Mexican peso since the phone went on sale.

That’s also why buying Galaxy S23 and even high-end phones in Mexico costs nearly twice as much.
