The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to make its debut in early February. However, a new rumor from South Korea now says that the handsets will probably release later than the stipulated timeline. Let’s take a look at the reason behind the delay.
A post on Naver (via SamMobile) states that Samsung has postponed the launch of the Galaxy S22 series. The successor of the Galaxy S21 series will not go official on the date revealed by a carrier source at the end of November. The reason behind the delay is said to be supply chain constraints.
For the unaware, the pre-orders for the Galaxy S22 series were anticipated to go live on February 8 in South Korea. Whereas, the sales were scheduled to kick off around February 18. If the latest rumor happens to be true, then the sales will be likely delayed until late February or early March, suggests Twitter user @GaryeonHan.
The entire smartphone industry is facing issues related to the supply chain. So it’s not surprising to learn that Samsung is also affected by this. In fact, due to this very same reason, the South Korean tech giant has delayed the launch of the Galaxy S21 FE multiple times. This device is now expected to release in January ahead of the Galaxy S22 family.
