The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top-specced phone from last year’s lineup.
If you were planning to upgrade to Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S23 series, you may have to pony up more money than before — depending on where you live. The price of Samsung’s upcoming flagship phones is tipped to increase in parts of Europe compared to last year’s Galaxy S22 series. If you live in the US, however, prices are expected to remain the same.
On Twitter, reliable leaker Roland Quandt posted prices of the Galaxy S23 lineup in Spain, saying the Galaxy S23 will start at 959 euros for the model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. (959 euros roughly converts to $1,040, £840 or AU$1,480.) The tweet also says a Galaxy S23 Ultra, with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, will cost 1,589 euros.
According to Samsung’s Spanish website, the Galaxy S22 costs 859 euros and the Galaxy S22 Ultra costs 1,459 euros. Similar price increases are also expected in Germany and the Czech Republic. Australian consumers may also have to prepare to pay more if reports turn out to be accurate.
