It may cost the same amount of money as the base model of the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
With Samsung set to unveil its next Galaxy S flagships in February, a new leak suggests the company may be planning a price increase for its high-end phone lineup. According to a tweet from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, European pricing for the Galaxy S22 series will begin at €849 (approximately $1,018), with the base models of the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra costing €1,049 ($1,188) and €1,249 ($1,414), respectively. This effectively means that Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup will cost the same in 2022 as it did in 2021. Furthermore, Quandt’s tweet implies that the company will continue to charge a €50 premium for an increase in storage on standard and Plus models.
Evan BlassWith Samsung scheduled to announce its next Galaxy S flagships in February, a new leak suggests the company may have a pricing change planned for its high-end phone lineup. Per a tweet spotted by Android Police from WinFuture’s Roland Quandt, European pricing for the Galaxy S22 series will start at €849 (roughly $1,018), with the base models of the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra slated to cost €1,049 ($1,188) and €1,249 ($1,414), respectively. Effectively, this means in 2022 Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup will cost just as much as it did in 2021. What’s more, Quandt’s tweet suggests the company will continue its practice of charging a €50 premium for a storage bump on the standard and Plus models.
What may change is that Samsung could tweak the base model Ultra variant to offer less value than its predecessor. In Europe at least, the €1249 Galaxy S22 Ultra will ship with 8GB of RAM, according to Quandt, and cost the same amount as money as the entry-level Galaxy S21 Ultra, which features 12GB of RAM. Consumers in Europe will reportedly need to pay a €100 premium to get the S22 Ultra with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. It’s not clear if Samsung will implement the same pricing strategy in the US. As Android Police points out, a separate leak earlier this month suggested the company could charge an extra $100 stateside for every model in the Galaxy S22 lineup. As always, we’ll have to wait until the company shares official pricing information before we know just how much it will cost to own the latest Galaxy S phones.
