The latest leak for the Samsung Galaxy S22 comes from Germany – and that’s really practical. Because Roland Quandt finally names the supposed euro prices of the new smartphone series. Since these don’t say anything in and of themselves, let’s compare them to the prices of the Galaxy S21 series. Will the Galaxy S22 be more expensive or cheaper?
- Leaker names euro prices for the Galaxy S22 for the first time
- Roland Quandt is reliable as usual, but the prices should be viewed with reservations
- Compared to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, prices have increased slightly
Even before the launch of the Galaxy S22, Samsung’s firewall was more like Swiss cheese. Because after numerous leaks of technical data, the euro prices have now also been leaked. The German leaker Roland Quandt, from whom you also occasionally read articles on NextPit about our partner WinFuture, gives prices for all models. Let’s take a look at them together:
Galaxy S22 in price comparison to its predecessor

| Galaxy S22 with 128GB storage | 849 euros | Galaxy S21 with 128GB storage | 849 euros* |
| Galaxy S22 with 256GB storage | 899 euros | Galaxy S21 with 256GB storage | 899 euros* |

I have listed the introductory prices of the Galaxy S21 series for you in the table. As Roland already writes in his tweet, the hoped-for price reduction apparently does not materialize. On the contrary: the Ultra model with 256 and 512 gigabytes of internal memory will probably be a little more expensive than before. And that despite the fact that the model with 512 gigabytes of internal memory is equipped with less RAM, according to Quandt.
Deal radar for the Galaxy S21: is it currently worth buying?
In any case, it is interesting that Quandt is still talking about an Ultra model – after all, Samsung itself has already provided many indications of renaming the most expensive Galaxy S22 model. Is the S22 series still exciting with the prices?
What awaits you on February 8, 2022
In my opinion it is! Because over the past year, the Galaxy S21 Ultra has emerged as the gold standard for many features of modern smartphones. And even if the S22 series will not reinvent the wheel based on the latest rumors, there should be some improvements again. The camera updates are particularly exciting at Samsung this year. Then there is the difficult but interesting SoC.

Samsung’s Exynos 2200 has already been introduced after a short delay. The announcement confirmed that Samsung is working with AMD to enable ray tracing in mobile games. Even if the first benchmarks attest a performance level behind that of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Samsung’s approaches are exciting. All eyes and ears should be in the direction of Samsung for the release – and rightly so.
