Due to shortage of semiconductors, it is exposed that the price of Samsung S22 series phones has increased by $100

Samsung is expected to raise the price of the S22 series of smartphones due to a shortage of semiconductors. The lowest price starts at $899, about $100 more than the previous S21.

Industry insiders believe that due to the disruption of the global supply chain caused by novel coronavirus's epidemic, the prices of several important components have increased by 30-40%, and the prices of power management chips and image sensor chips have increased by 10-15%. Samsung has to raise the price of S22 phones.

According to previous revelations, there are three models in the Samsung Galaxy S22 series, each with four colors, of which the Galaxy S22 and Samsung Galaxy S22 + are black, green, gold, pink and white, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra is black, dark red, green and white.

It is said that in order to avoid the shortage caused by core shortage, Samsung began mass production of the upcoming Galaxy S22 series of parts at the end of last year, which will be officially launched in the first quarter of this year.
