This has recently been substantiated again and now we also know why. According to this, the shortage of chips at Samsung should lead to prices rising (source: Korea Times ). According to this, the prices for the Galaxy S22 should start at 899 US dollars and are therefore 100 US dollars higher than the prices of the Galaxy S21 .
According to the latest information, the price increase in Europe will not be quite as strong. According to this, the Galaxy S22 should cost 899 euros . The Galaxy S21 was sold for 849 euros. Only the Galaxy S22 Ultra is said to have a price increase of up to 130 euros and at the same time the main memory is supposed to shrink .
