Samsung’s entry-level Galaxy S22 Ultra may come with less storage than last year’s model

With Samsung scheduled to announce its next Galaxy S flagships in , a new leak suggests the company may have planned a price change for its high-end phone offering. Discovered via tweet by from WinFutures European prices for the Galaxy S22 series start at €849, with the base Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra models set to cost €1049 and €1249 respectively. Effectively, this means that Samsung’s Galaxy S line will cost the same in 2022 as it did in 2021. Additionally, Quandt’s tweet suggests that the company will continue its practice of charging a £50 premium for a memory upgrade for the Raise Standard and Plus models.

What could change is that Samsung could tweak the Ultra variant of the base model to offer less value than its predecessor. According to Quandt, at least in Europe, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which costs 1249 euros, comes with 8 GB of RAM and costs the same as the entry-level Galaxy S21 Ultra, which has 12 GB of RAM. Consumers in Europe will reportedly have to pay a €100 premium to get the S22 Ultra with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. It’s not clear if Samsung will implement the same pricing strategy in the US. As Android Police points out a Earlier this month, the company proposed charging an extra $100 in the US for each model in the Galaxy S22 lineup. As always, we’ll have to wait for the company to release official pricing information before we know how much it will cost to own the latest Galaxy S phones.
