At least initially, Samsung's new Galaxy Watch5 line of wearables will cost more than the Watch4 products that were introduced last year. That is, assuming a recent rumour about the situation is true. The possibility of accuracy is higher than normal because it comes from the typically trustworthy Roland Quandt (of OnLeaks fame).
We'll see. The price of the 40mm Galaxy Watch5 with Bluetooth will be €300; the LTE version will cost €350. Priced at €350 for the Galaxy Watch5 44mm Bluetooth-only device and €400 for the LTE-capable one.
The Galaxy Watch5 Pro will only be available in one size, 45mm. It will cost €490 in its Bluetooth-only version; if LTE is added, the price rises to €540. The Pro will be offered in Titanium and Black. Pink Gold, Gray, and Silver will be available for the 40mm Watch5, while Blue, Gray, and Silver will be available for the 44mm Watch5.
We're looking at a €30 price increase here when you consider that the 40mm Galaxy Watch4 cost €270 with Bluetooth just and €320 with LTE. This one will have a €50 price increase because the 44mm Galaxy Watch4 costs €300 MSRP with Bluetooth just and €350 with LTE.
Priced at €400 (Bluetooth) or €450, the 46mm Galaxy Watch4 Classic will be replaced by the Galaxy Watch5 Pro (LTE). As a result, the new model will cost €90 more than the outgoing model.
These price increases are significant when expressed in percentage points and are undoubtedly not going to win over any new clients. How many people will be prepared to fork out additional money for the promised upgrades in
