How long after the s4 launch can we expect a price drop? - General Questions and Answers

When will it come down in price after launch 1,2,3,4 month? Or never?
Anyone have a idea from watching the S3 prices closely?

This is one way of seeing it yes the other thing is that the price may drop when the competitor comes up with a better product and samsung may start loosing the sales numbers that is about 3-4 months time period

Not only a better product, but a cheaper alternative, with comparable specs.

Atleast 6 months. A little drop will be when note 3 will launch. But most people who wait for note go for a S because by the time its price is dropped

When do you think the nexus prime will become cheap. Many Android devices gets cheaper after 2 months...so when will the next nexus be around $400?

Retail price? That wont drop for a long long time if ever. Subsidized will eventually drop but even then this phone will be top of the pack for a while and wont drop in price until higher end phones are released or sales are slow.

I could care less if there is an "official release" of ICS for the ns4g. I know I will have it on my phone. Thank you XDA.
I'm pretty sure retail price won't go down that quick especially seeing how the Nexus S held its own for a while. Price will probably be a good factor against the iPhone 4S though...

I had the note briefly and LOVED it, returned it cause there wasnt a stable modem/radio for us Tmo users...if this is true, im 100% back!!

I still haven't had time to play with a Note yet, but its intriguing to say the least. It definitely looks a bit too large to use as an everyday phone but I'll give it a shot at least
You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight

I'm really really really hope it's the Note! But, my next upgraded phone will be a toss up from the sgs3 or the note!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.
But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

S3 still the best on verizon market?

Hey I have a chance to get a phone on contract and switch it to my unlimited plan on Verizon. I have an s3. Is this the best on verizon. My friend for some reason has really bad credit but has a chance to get new lines with new contract price. Then he is just not going to pay. Now this isn't something I would do but he did offered me a chance to get any phone I want for cheap price. Should I keep my s3 or just get a different phone and sell it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Do you like the Note 2? I'd get that if I had the chance. If you want to wait a few months then we may see the GS4. The best phone currently announced is Xperia Z which who knows will ever come to VZW.
I do like the note 2 but it is pretty big. Is that the best phone to get
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Its really a matter of preference in screen size. And the fact the note has a quad core. I would wait and get the galaxy 4 when it comes out. I love my 3

Yeah so ill probably just keep my s3 so ill just sell a phone is there anywhere I can sell. I know ebay and I have close to 500 feedback but hate fees. If someone offers something I can do threw paypal.

Try craigslist. You can often get better prices on ebay even after the fees, if you are lucky.

S3 is my baby. Love the thing. But if the Note 2 was out when I upgraded, I may have gone with that. They're so close on about everything except screen size. Like it was stated above, personal preference.

That's dirty, man.
yeah when you said "for some reason" your friend has bad credit.... Doing stuff like this is the reason. It's also why lots of people who are just joining verizon pay a $300 deductible for service. That being said, my gf has the SIII, and I'm still rockin' the GNEX running ParanoidAndroid. I'm upgrading my work phone and going with either the Note2 or the DNA. I think you'd get a better re-sale price for either of these 2 phones than for the SIII if that's what you're looking for.
Tell your friend I said thanks for doing his part to make my service more expensive.
Whats the name of your note 2 rom and is there a Verizon version

Honestly you should blame the verizon reps. We went today and he was 250 past due. Usually they don't open new lines. He was going to pay it but the rep said its Ok I have a way around it so you can pay later. I was on the side like WHAT. What would you do. So not to a note 2 at 350? Instead of full retail? I ended get the note 2 for my gf which it is pretty cool.

Ya have you heard the rumored size of the note3. It's going to be 6.5 inches. I think the 5.5 is pushing it. I held the note 2 is not to bad but anything bigger than that is pointless to me unless you are on bluetooth headset all day for calls. The battery has to be humongous to power that bad boy.

I wish I could buy it, but I still have over a year on my contract with my S3. Damn it was nice to be near the top as far as how good phones could get, looks like I won't be there for long.
I just hope they dont go over board on the price..im guessing it will be like $299 with contract

Is your S4 a Google Play Edition? Why do you want the Nexus 5?
If you want the N5 for Android 4.4 I would wait for the update to come for your S4.

My first piece of advice is get it from google and not your carrier if possible. Google sells it cheaper than any carrier I've seen. Secondly, Since you have the s4 you might want to wait. Essentially the only things being upgraded for you (objectively speaking) is the Processor chip and OIS for the camera. Everything else is either equal or lesser. In your case, I would only suggest upgrading if updates are of importance for you. If they aren't wait for the next big smartphone release.
My son is going to use my s4 I have found a 4g contract deal that comes with a n7 free cheaper than my s4
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would say go for it if it's a good deal.
Since your son will be using the S4 then you would need a phone and the N5 will be a good but not amazing upgrade hardware wise, though software wise imo is far superior to TW.
