My advice to you is to buy this phone under a contract, because in this way you will manage to save a considerable amount of money. Thus, with a contract for a period of at least two years, the phone will be available for just $199 or even less, this is the price you will find at local operators like Tmobile, Sprint, Verizon or even AT & T.
This smartphone can be purchased for prices similar to those for iPhone 5, which is around $ 650, still worth every penny, considering that you get a modern display, a faster processor, a better camera performance and a large variety of other applications,now the question is whether Apple will lower the price to compete with Samsung. Since the price for HTC One has not been yet announced, rumors say around $ 830, I can say that Samsung had a very good position in relation to its leading competitors. However, already the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 sells on Amazon for $472.
