Rogers Lowers The Three-Year Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Price

Tweet

Rogers only launched the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE smartphone a short while back, however it looks like they have already made an adjustment in terms of the pricing. And nicely done, it is a price change that comes in favor of the customer.

That being said, there is some question as to why Rogers lowered the pricing, however before we get into that — lets mention the new price. And keep in mind, the no-term price remains the same at $649.99. Otherwise, those looking to pick the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE up with Rogers can expect to pay $179.99.

For those keeping track, that price is down $20 from the $199.99 that it originally launched at. As for the reason why, like mentioned, this one just appeared on the Rogers website without any fanfare or announcement. The speculation suggests that this could possibly be in a effort to compete with a Bell branded Galaxy S II LTE.

Of course, on that note, we are still waiting on confirmation from Bell as to whether or not that will be happening. Needless to say, at the present time the Galaxy S II LTE is still listed as a Rogers Exclusive. Otherwise, while the price drop was $20, a decent sum of money — we suspect those who have already made a purchase will be feeling a bit cheated. In that case, nothing yet from Rogers, however a quick phone call to customer service may be in order.

Despite the drop in price, the handset remains the same and that means specs which include a 4.5 inch (400 x 800) Super AMOLED Plus display, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm headphone jack, GPS, an 8 megapixel rear facing camera and Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

In the end, we are sort of hoping that this has nothing to do with Bell and something to do with more LTE powered smartphones coming to Rogers. Maybe the price was lowered to make it seem more attractively priced when another handset comes in at $199.99.
