Meanwhile, the Galaxy S24+ is said to cost KRW 1,353,000 (roughly Rs. 86,000) for the lower-end model with 256GB storage, whereas the 512GB version is said to have a price tag of KRW 1,496,000 (roughly Rs. 95,000).
Further, the vanilla Galaxy S24’s base variant with 256GB of onboard storage is said to be priced at KRW 1,155,000 (roughly Rs. 73,000), while the 512GB storage variant could cost KRW 1,298,000 (roughly Rs. 82,000), pricier than the 512GB model of the Galaxy S23.
The 512GB models of both Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ are said to be KRW 22,000 (roughly Rs. 1,300) more expensive than the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+.
