We have no real way of determining what factors affect the numbers by percentages. Some of it can be blamed on the Coronavirus. Price can be a deterrent for others. The harsh reality is that the numbers have been dropping all along because the market is pretty saturated and many are holding onto their devices longer as prices have trended upward. The S series has the added complication that it has direct competition with the Note. The S series may get a boost as some get their tax refunds and as real reviews come out.https://bgr.com/2020/02/28/galaxy-s20-vs-galaxy-s10-sales-coronavirus-impact/

I don't think last years flagships were a bargain unless you want to throw the lesser S10 or S10e into the mix.Yeah... 50% less than S10 on launch day??
I’ll say it, I would guess it is the PRICE that is the main contributor to the sales decline than the virus taking into account the number of cases at launch day. Like the article said it shouldn’t have effected people able to order online.
I understand everyone will be using the virus to justify low sales when they report earnings but I think in this case I think Samsung has really priced itself out of the market with the S20 pricing. Apple has said they probably won’t meet their quarterly guidance with the virus too... but I believe it due to supply issue. I’m guessing even if Samsung still don’t have the supply, they will still have plenty I stock.
I said elsewhere, I can’t believe I used Apple as the bargain phone but if you want a flagship, then Apple is it. We aren’t even talking about their “base” 11... we are talking their 11 Pro with their triple camera setup at $999. The larger Max Pro at $1099!
It’s a win for us... a few years ago Samsung use to release models at iPhone prices and discount almost immediately. Last few gens they’ve maintained retail prices but added lots of incentives like ear buds and wireless chargers etc. Maybe we will be seeing some major discount with the S20.
They set a new price point with their flagship models... I don’t think they can go cheaper in future gens. Maybe they don’t care... recent article seems to show their top seller is the A series (?) I think they sell in Asia for a couple of hundred bucks??

To be fair current models offer features the S10 series didn't. If we look at the original release prices of S10+, the 128GB model was 999.00. The higher capacity ceramic models were 1249.00 for the 512GB model and 1599.00 for the 1TB model.
Yeah we are now reaching prices that were reserved for their special models like the ceramic are now the base for the plus models... Smh.
As long as they have good trade in prices to offset those high prices , also I think in my opinion with option to financing slowly overtime available through carrier or Samsung I dont see prices going down anytime soon.Yeah we are now reaching prices that were reserved for their special models like the ceramic are now the base for the plus models...

We've exceeded Note 10 pricing too right or at it. I hate to imagine how much the Note 20 is going to go for??
Which is why people will just not upgrade as often. Notwithstanding the price, incentives, etc - the differences between this year's and last year's model isn't sufficient to justify the expenditure. Why should any of us waste our time and money on an "upgrade" for an almost imperceptible improvement in features and performance?As long as they have good trade in prices to offset those high prices , also I think in my opinion with option to financing slowly overtime available through carrier or Samsung I dont see prices going down anytime soon.
I don't think phones are overpriced at all. With the amount of tech they fit into a small foot print and as much research that they put into new tech it's amazing that they can keep the price down to what it is. I mean if anything's overpriced, I would say computers are...
