If you’re in the market for a brilliant phone that doesn’t cost $1000, you need to be looking at the Samsung Galaxy S7 EDGE and Galaxy S7 which are now a hell of a lot cheaper than they were just a few weeks ago.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 range will land soon and picking one of those up will set you back close to $1000. Most people, however, would be just fine going with the Samsung Galaxy S7, as it is still one of the best phones around.
And now it’s A LOT cheaper than before; like hundreds of dollars cheaper in some instances.
I mean, just check out these price reductions for the Samsung Galaxy S7:
AT&T – Galaxy S7 now just $394.99 (down from $594.99); the Galaxy S7 EDGE, meanwhile, has been reduced by $200 to $494.99.
That's cheaper than Amazon and pretty much anywhere else.
This a HUGE saving and the handsets themselves really are exceptional devices. Easily two of the best Android phones ever released.
The only reason they’re now a lot cheaper is because Samsung will soon release its new Galaxy S model – the Galaxy S8 – which begs the question: do you REALLY need the latest and greatest handset for $1000 when the Galaxy S7 is still so good (and no so cheap?).
I’d argue, no – you definitely do not need the latest and greatest and if you’re trying to be more fiscally frugal in 2017, then this is definitely the route to go, as you stand to save hundreds of dollars in the process.
Plus, you’re not missing out on too much. I mean, the Galaxy S7 / Galaxy S7 EDGE has the best display ever placed inside a phone, a brilliant camera, a great CPU and they both look stunning.
This just goes to show how much margin phone makers actually make on their phones. The fact that Samsung can reduce the price this much shows just how much money these phone companies make when a phone is considered “flagship-grade”.
Given the choice between a brand new Galaxy S7 for under $400 or a new Galaxy S8 for $1000, I know where my money would be going every time.
And, no, it wouldn’t be the new model that’s coming in a couple of weeks!
Not with savings like this. I’d rather have last year’s model of phone and use the savings I made to get myself a Nintendo Switch or some new PS4 games.
