With the launch date out of the way, it is just the pricing that remains a mystery. While Samsung remained mum on topic, a few retailers in the US, UK have already listed the smartphones to be sold at around EUR 700 (approximately Rs. 53,200) for the Galaxy S7 and the EUR 800 (approximately Rs. 60,800) for the Galaxy S7 Edge.
