After the infamous Note 7 release, Samsung licked its wounds a bit and then followed up with the Note 8 release, which sold more than 10 million units and resurrected the street cred of Samsung’s S Pen stylus. Subsequent Notes, and especially the Galaxy Note 20 series, sold fewer and fewer units, sending indications to Samsung that it might not make sense to maintain a separate line just for the stylus capabilities alone. Fast forward to 2022 and Samsung’s merger of the Note line with the Galaxy S flagships is complete, culminating in the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which has a built-in S Pen stylus and all the phone features Samsung could muster at the time, including a 10x camera periscope zoom. The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s stellar sales come despite a hefty starting price of $1,199.99, which is one of the highest among flagship phones, with the exception of Samsung’s own foldable phones in the Fold line.
The MSRP isn’t set in stone though, as Samsung very often has great sales on its top-end phones, like the one going on right now that’ll get you up to $1,000 off the S22 Ultra, even for phones with a cracked screen and on top of that adds a $100 Samsung credit, sending the price of the 512GB version to $299.99.
