"Those interested in the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra premium device will have to be prepared to shell out big numbers. The base model with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB is attached to a price of €1,430.00 (US$1,616) while the top-end S22 Ultra goes for €1,544.50 (US$,1746) and offers 512 GB storage alongside the whopping 12 GB memory."

If these prices stated are correct, I'll move on to another phone. However, the article did not note the price for a 128gb or the rumored 8gb RAM. But even dropping the price a few hundred drives this phone up too darn high.
Samsung says they want to take the crown back as biggest cell phone manufacturer, but raising the price of this model anymore than already priced for the S21 is ludicrous. (Remember, the S20 was more expensive than the S21 and Samsung dropped the prices to gain back share.)
Just because they add an S-pen to a phone that was a big seller without an S-pen? I could see adding the S-pen and then adding 8gb option voiding out the price of the S-pen while giving plenty of RAM for users; other than heavy duty old NOTE users and they will have options to add more RAM and memory.
These rumored prices have me looking other places like OnePlus 10 Pro and still keeping my eye out on the Pixel 6 to see if the future software update fixes the reported problems (especially with connections).
Price an Ultra even with 8gb RAM at the same price as last year for the S21, and I'll order. RANT OVER.....
