Samsung Galaxy S5
After a week of release, however, the price collapses, surely. We saw this with the price of the S5 Galaxy and HTC One M8, and surely we will see him with the LG G3. Then analyze the genesis of price cuts.
Samsung Galaxy S5 is available in Italy for about two months. A top of the range that in spite of decidedly non-precious materials presents interesting as the focus ultra-fast, up to 0.3 seconds, the IP67 certification, which allows the Galaxy S5 to resist to sweat, rain, liquids, sand and dust and the reader of heartbeats. A decidedly modern smartphone that is sold in the color variations Charcoal Black, Shimmery White and Electric Blue at the suggested retail price of 699 EUR , the price that is clearly refers to the Italian version. And ‘interesting to note the fluctuations in the price of the S5 Galaxy .The latest top of the range Samsung home warranty is available with Europe on the well-known online shop Stokkisti to 499 € . A few weeks after the launch of the cost of the Galaxy S5 collapsed, going from 599 to 499 € . A dramatic collapse whereas the list price is 699 €.

As stated in our previous article, Idealo , a few months ago, in an analysis published on their blog , took into account the evolution of the cost of the new top of the line South Korean , based on similar data available for earlier models of the Galaxy family . “The price trend shown by all new Samsung Galaxy in the months following the launch – explain to Idealo – shows strong similarities. Particularly interesting shows falling prices observable in the first quarter. For each new smartphone the Galaxy S series price reduction was every time more marked than the previous model. “
As summarized in the table below, the average price of the Samsung Galaxy S2 to three months after the launch was reduced by 13% compared to the initial price. For the next model, the Galaxy S3, the price has suffered a reduction 14% in the first three months. For the next generation, it was possible to observe a decrease in the price even more sensitive. The Galaxy S4, in business since May of 2013, in August had already become cheaper by 18% compared to the launch price.
On the basis of this progression can be predicted that the new Galaxy S5 , three months after the release, it could cost only 76% of its launch price, which would correspond to a decline of nearly a quarter of the initial price to as little as 90 days from the market. We can therefore say with certainty that the predictions of ideal proved to be accurate.
But that’s the price collapse not only affects the Samsung Galaxy S5 but also ‘ HTC One M8 . The top of the range home Taiwan increased from 599 euro 519 € . Yet we are talking about one of the best top of the range of the moment with a hardware on top of a unibody aluminum, twin stereo speakers, the Duo Camera (our review HERE) and excellent customization software from HTC.

Something does not come back then: an excellent product after a few weeks falls in value? We bring to the festival also another top of the range, not yet out in the market but from the point of view of the hardware is absolutely top of the moment: LG G3 .
LG
LG G3, new top range smartphone from LG, the successor of LG G2 , is made of plastic, however, processed in such a way as to obtain what LG calls “metallic skin”. A device that thanks to the optimization of the space presents a screen from 5.5 inches while maintaining the same dimensions of the Galaxy S5. Atra feature at the top is the type display with IPS Quad HD resolution of 2560 x 1440, 534 ppi, processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. Models will be two: one with 2 GB of RAM and the top model with less than 3 GB, while the internal memory is 16 GB or 32, in both cases, expandable via microSD memory cards up to 128 GB.

Currently in Singapore the 16 GB version is sold at 868 local dollars (U.S. $ 690 or 410 pounds), the 32 Gb to 928 U.S. dollars (740 million U.S. dollars, or 440 pounds). For Europe, there is currently no official price, but the local carriers say that LG G3 UK will be sold in the UK since the first of July. The feeling is that prices may vary from 549 to 649 euro, but the final confirmation will only give the LG. In short, roughly the price of LG G3 will be the same as the current top of the range.
We are confident that the G3 will suffer the same fate as Samsung Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8 and within a few weeks from the official online you will find almost 100 euro less than the price set by the cartel of the same company. Considering that the G2 has suffered the same fate as the smartphone competition going in no time from 599 to 489 Euros.

Among the current top of the range that the company has chosen to go out with a lower price than the conorrenza Huawei has been selling its current P7 449 EUR.
IN CONCLUSION. Ultimately establish a culprit of these “inflated prices” is definitely tough. On the one hand there are the online shops that having a reduced margin on sales are at war with each other, producing a de facto reduction in the list price. On the other hand there is the market and the price of “cartel” that must necessarily fall within certain parameters. Huawei is the only company that sells its top of the range at prices dramatically lower than the competition. We must also consider that in Italy the “free” market of mobile phones, namely not directly tied to contracts with the phone operators, is very large, the largest in Europe. A free market on the one hand and fragmentary that encourages this kind of shop that to survive they must inevitably play to the downside. In this situation, to gain, or lose depending on your point of view, are the Customers can buy a top of the range at a price much lower than MSRP. It is therefore not advisable to buy a practice right off of a top of the line because we know that the price will fall, as always. Not all brands are subject to this fluctuation in the price list. Apple among all companies is the one that suffers less from this contrast by keeping the price of its device constant over a rather long time.
