Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S22 prices for India tomorrow
While Samsung India posted the Galaxy S22 press releases on the 9th along with the rest of the world, the local branch of the company did not reveal the pricing for the new flagships. This will happen tomorrow, February 17, during an online event.
The start of sales date is the same as elsewhere, February 25 (Friday next week). What you can do today is pre-reserve a unit with a ₹2,000 down payment (you can get a 100% refund if you change your mind). As a perk for being such an early adopter, Samsung will gift you a free Galaxy SmartTag (normally worth ₹2,700). Note that this deal applies to any of the three S22 phones as well as the three Galaxy Tab S8 slates.

We"re revealing everything about the #GalaxyS22 series in a Live event featuring the MVPs of #Samsung on 17 February 2022 at 12.30pm. Stay tuned for more details.
This year the Galaxy S series for India is coming with a Snapdragon chipset (the SD 8 Gen 1) instead of an Exynos like previous years. Whether that is good or bad is yet to be determined, but it might be a sign that only Europe is getting the Exynos 2200.
Anyway, last year’s prices were ₹70,000 for the vanilla phone, ₹82,000 for the Plus model and ₹106,000 for the Ultra. There is a rumor that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will get slightly pricier (₹4,000 more), while the vanilla Galaxy S22 will cost the same as the S21. There is no word on the Galaxy S22+ pricing, official or otherwise.
As for the three Galaxy Tab S8 slates, they are not explicitly mentioned, but we expect to hear more about their launch at the event tomorrow.
