Samsung is expected to finally unveil its Galaxy S22 series flagship after about two weeks. There have been countless leaks over the past few months, but at this point Roland Quandt tells us about one of the most important aspects: pricing.
The basic version of the Galaxy S22 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage starts at €849 in Europe, which is about $960. You can get the 8/256GB model for 899 euros. The Galaxy S22+ starts at €1,049 for the 8/128GB model and goes up to €1,099 for the 8/256GB version. The interesting thing comes when we look at the S22 Ultra, which has a basic version with only 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage at a high price of 1249 euros. This is a bit odd, as the S20 Ultra and S21 Ultra started with 12GB of RAM in their base trim.
Whoever said S22 series was to be cheaper, didn't think of Covid, parts shortages and inflation.

Actual official EURO prices:

S22 8/256GB = 899
S22+ 8/128GB = 1049
S22+ 8/256GB = 1099

The S22 Ultra with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB will cost 1349 euros, and the top model with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage will cost 1449 euros. The lack of 16GB of RAM is also worth noting, but it remains to be seen if the rumors are true.
