Samsung and its changes in strategy due to the lack of interest in some of its mid-range products, due to pressure from other Asian products and, also partly due to the timid results obtained by some of the best sellers, we have already spoken in other cases in our blog. However, the decision not to launch some of its newest terminals in Europe leads to resale businesses in which the price ends up being really crazy. Samsung thus loses the benefits of that sale while losing market. And there are others who take advantage of fans who have become infatuated with a certain model. The The last one that has caused controversy is the Galaxy A8.
El Samsung Galaxy A8 price in Europe it does not exist officially. However, on some websites that import it from Asia, it is common to find it at exorbitant costs that are only acceptable for those who have fallen in love with the model in question at first sight. For example, the average sale price of the current Korean mobile phone is not less than the range of 500 and 520 euros. Does it seem incredible to you? Actually it is. Its cost is comparable to that of the Galaxy S6 that we remember is the company's flagship.
Why is Samsung ignoring the markets?
The Korean company is currently facing a process of adaptation to the very particular market. On the one hand, it is concerned about staying in the markets in which it is a leader, but it must do so by adjusting its product offering to what others launch in order to remain better. It is costing him, especially due to the arrival of quality Asian manufacturers and his eternal rivalry with Apple that has made him lose several wars in various territories.
Furthermore, in Samsung ruled the rule of the more terminals, the better. They have discovered that this was an absolute failure and they need time to refocus everything. They are not ignoring Europe, they simply cannot face so many fronts at once. Maybe at some point, if the A-range of the Galaxy works as planned, the strategy changes and things return to normal. But honestly, I don't think it will be in a short period of time.
Is a Galaxy A8 sold at this price?
We live in an economic capitalism in which supply and demand are the laws that will make the market move. That means that if the offer is zero, as in the case of the Galaxy A8 in Europe, no matter how small the demand, it will be willing to pay a premium. Sellers who generally import this terminal from Asia, as well as others who have been in the same line of not appearing in the European market, know it. And they take advantage of it. If you do not pay the 520 euros to which currently you can get the Galaxy A8, you just can't get it. That is, you have to give it up.
Although it is a vicious circle, because as long as there is demand for offer will continue with these absurd prices, Samsung would be the only one that could put an end to this strategy. And for now, at least due to the latest information that is known about the company and its restructuring of products that are launched on the market, it does not seem that they are going to do so. So, you will have to continue paying a premium if you want these products. In my case, I recommend choosing more affordable options from the competition. But, if you insist on having a Samsung, you will have to pay the commission to the reseller.
And where can you get it?
