The official Samsung India Twitter handle has announced that it will tell us everything we need to know about the Galaxy S22 price, availability and pre-order offers (if any) on 17 February 2022 at 12.30 PM. However, we already have a rough idea about how much the three smartphones could cost in India thanks to an earlier leak.
The entry-level Galaxy S22 will supposedly retail at INR 69,900 ($926) and the maxed-out Galaxy S22 Ultra at INR 1,09,900 ($1,456). Information about the Galaxy S22+ is scarce, but it will likely cost around INR 89,990 ($1,198) if previous launch prices are anything to go by.
Unlike the US and Europe, where one gets exciting perks like a free memory upgrade and hefty trade-in discounts, Samsung India offers paltry pre-order bonuses, which often sum up to little more than a 50% discount on a pair of earbuds/wearable. Whether or not the situation will be any better with the Galaxy S22 series remains to be seen
To make matters worse, Indians pay a lot more than their American/European counterparts for the same smartphone. At the very least, Indian Galaxy S22 variants will use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC this time, something that Indians have been demanding for quite some time now.
