Samsungs entry Galaxy S22 Ultra may come with less memory than last years model

With 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 WinFuturesRoland Quandt, European pricing for the Galaxy S22 series will start at 849, with the base models of the Galaxy S22 Plus and Ultra slated to cost 1049 and 1249, respectively. Effectively, this means in 2022 Samsungs Galaxy S lineup will cost just as much as it did in 2021. Whats more, Quandts 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. Its 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, well 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.
