Love it or leave it, the success of the Galaxy S22 series of phones will ultimately depend on Samsung's pricing plans for them. From the lowly 6.1" Galaxy S22 specs, to the 6.7" captain of the industry Galaxy S22 Ultra, the phones will no doubt offer great specs but it remained to be heard at what price. Until today, that is, when a leaker with a good track record - Snoopy - got a tip on the early Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra price listings.
Galaxy S22 Ultra deals: what to expect
They might be for Europe, but we are accustomed to extrapolating from those to arrive at the US prices for the S22 models, and it seems they won't differ much from Samsung's 2020 S21 trio at launch, save for the S22 Ultra pricing.
Samsung S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra prices
Don't get stressed out by the USD equivalent of the European prices in EUR here, as the EU has a 20% customs duty tariff on electronics produced outside of the Union, and only then you can convert the prices into USD. That's not to mention that Samsung will sweeten the pot further with S22 pre-order discounts and various gifts at launch.
Galaxy S22 price
- €912.00 (US$1,031) for the 8 GB/128 GB storage model
- €963.50 (US$1,089) for the 8 GB/256 GB storage model
Galaxy S22 Plus price
- €1,119.00 (US$1,265) for the 8 GB/128 GB storage model
- €1,170.50 (about US$1,323) for the 8 GB/256 GB storage model
Galaxy S22 Ultra price
- €1,430.00 (US$1,616) for the 12GB/256 GB storage model
- €1,544.50 (US$,1746) for the 16GB/512 GB storage model
Again, these are the S22's European prices which are usually about a fifth higher than what we get here in the US by Samsung. Thus, the Galaxy S22 may start from the same $799.99 price that its predecessor launched at on this side of the pond. The Galaxy S22 Ultra price, however, starts from about $1280 even when we discount the EU's 20% surcharge on electronics, while the S21 Ultra landed at $1199.
The reason behind the potentially higher Galaxy S22 Ultra price might be because this time around its base version will ship with 256GB storage, not the 128GB that its predecessor came with at its lowest price point.
Long story short, expect to pay a Benjamin more for the S22 Ultra at launch compared to the S21 Ultra, but for double the storage amount, while Samsung's S22 and S22+ launch prices are expected to largely stay the same upon release, if these newly leaked S22 series pricing range holds water in the end.
