Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new line of flagships, the Galaxy S22, at its next Galaxy Unpacked event.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra received an angular body and a different design of the camera block on the back panel. Overall, it has a lot in common in appearance with the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Like the previous generation, Galaxy S21 Ultra (review), the new product received support for a proprietary stylus.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
