During the Galaxy Unpacked event this year, S22 256 GB (base model, not Ultra) was around EUR 669 here. So I am guessing S23 will reach that price (x exchange rate). Or you can try the waybackmachine, and see if you can find the price for S22 on Indian Samsung website on 1st February.
They wanted to promote their own garbage on their online store or whatever the hell it is.
How did you get the older version back?
