Samsung recently introduced its flagship lineup of phones of the year. Subsequently, the Galaxy S22 lineup including the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra were available to pre-reserve in India as well. Now the company has announced the retail price of all three phones in the country.
For a change, the South Korean company has preferred the Snapdragon SoC for the three flagship phones over the in house Exynos 2200 SoC in India.
For those unaware, the Galaxy S22 lineup is a successor to the Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup that was introduced almost at the same time last year – however, the top-end phone Galaxy S22 Ultra this time is a cross between the S series and the now-cancelled Galaxy Note lineup.
