A reliable tipster has hinted that the priciest from the upcoming S22 lineup, which had unofficially been dubbed as the Galaxy S22 Ultra, could in fact be called the Galaxy S22 Note.

The info comes from Tron who on Twitter stated that the S22 Ultra is now “dead” and that the next is actually the S22 Note. If true, it would be signalling a resurrection of sorts of the now-defunct Galaxy Note series.

To recall, the last Note model from Samsung was the Galaxy Note 20 series released back in August 2020, following which the lineup was binned in favor of foldable offerings. But many have argued that foldables like the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip series are still in no way a true replacement for the Note series. The Galaxy Z Fold even comes with S Pen support but it was never really about that.

You see, the Galaxy Note phones had always been a beefed-up version of the S series. They were a great way to acquire the latest and greatest hardware the year had to offer, but also brought about a few small upgrades over the S series that would typically debut a few months earlier. The Note phones were also highly focused on productivity and even offered featured dedicated S Pen slots – something still missing on both the latest Galaxy S21 Ultra and Z Fold3.

Due to these reasons, they had amassed a die-hard fanbase over the years – something that Samsung now appears to be aiming to be capitalizing on once more. The original purpose of killing the Note lineup has been fulfilled after all, since the company’s foldable offerings are currently selling like hotcakes.

But then again, Samsung does not want a Note phone eating into its foldables sales, which explains why the device is being sold as part of the S22 series and not as a standalone like it always was.

Regardless, it is important to stress here that the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Note naming scheming suggested by the tipster is still nothing but a rumor, so be sure to take it with a pinch of salt.

As for the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the S22 Note, if that’s what you want to call it, the phone will be featuring a familiar boxy ‘Note’ design and even sport an S Pen slot. Its rear cameras will be in a quad 108MP + 10MP + 10MP + 12MP setup and the device is expected to be announced sometime in February.
