Samsung Galaxy S22 series price in India (expected)
While Samsung hasn’t yet revealed the pricing of these phones, however, rumours suggest that the stock Galaxy S22 might start at Rs. 69,990 while the Galaxy S22 Ultra could launch at a starting price of Rs. 110,990.
To recall, Samsung Galaxy S22 was launched globally with a starting price of $799 (roughly Rs. 59,900), Galaxy S22 Plus was priced at $999 (Rs.74,900) while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has a starting price tag of $1,199 (roughly Rs. 89,900).
While the direct conversion is just to give you an idea of the price difference between different markets, it is worth noting that relevant taxes and duties are also added to the regional retail price.
Samsung has already confirmed that the S22 series will come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC instead of Samsung’s Exynos 2200 SoC in India. This change might help the brand clock better sales figures as the customers had been requesting the South Korean company to change this policy.
There have been reports that the company might bring in select variants (colour and memory + storage) to India. Thankfully we won’t have to wait too much for the official announcement.
