Officially unveiled more than two weeks ago, Samsung’s latest ultra-high-end smartphone lineup is still a full week away from its US release, with European sales then scheduled to begin on March 13.

Another high-profile victim of the worldwide coronavirus outbreak

It may seem insensitive to the families of the over 2,850 people killed by the coronavirus disease 2019 (or COVID-19) to call smartphones and smartphone vendors victims of the ongoing epidemic, but it’s starting to look like entire economies will be badly damaged if the global medical crisis is not contained in the near future.

Of course, while offline sales are vital for any new smartphone released in South Korea, plenty of folks around those parts order their handsets online, and those numbers couldn’t have been impacted by the coronavirus epidemic.

Pricing is also a problem

In case you’re trying to forget, the “regular” S20 starts at a whopping $1,000 stateside before various discounts, trade-in arrangements, free credit offers, and BOGO deals, while the Galaxy S20+ and S20 Ultra are available for $1,200 and $1,400 respectively in entry-level 128GB storage configurations. US deliveries are technically slated to kick off next Friday, March 6, but if you’ve been fast and if you’re lucky, you could receive your precious new phone a little earlier.
