As you may have noticed, the price points are inexplicably expensive considering they’re just entry level handsets and are targeted at first-time buyers. We could think of many other devices with better specs than these and they come way cheaper. Though this may be the case, we should consider that these are priced in Netherlands and they may have a different arrangement of pricing their devices there.

For now, let’s just see how Samsung will price them when they arrive in Asia.
