Samsung has started taking pre-orders for the upcoming Galaxy S22 smartphone series ahead of the smartphones launch. The South Korean manufacturer will launch the Samsung Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra at the Galaxy Unpacked event next month. Samsung is now allowing US customers to pre-order Samsung’s next flagship smartphone and the upcoming Galaxy Tab S8 before the company announces specs and features for these devices.
The company previously allowed customers to pre-order both the Galaxy S21 smartphones and the Galaxy Note 20, and customers will not be required to prepay the price of the upcoming Galaxy S22 smartphone, according to the company’s website. Samsung’s website also mentions that users who pre-order the smartphone will receive a $50 (approximately Rs. 7,000) credit that can be used to purchase other products on the company’s website. Samsung has not officially revealed when the next Galaxy Unpacked event will take place, but reports suggest it could be held on February 8.
