A new video has just revealed some interesting details regarding the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and its S Pen. Apparently, this new variant of the stylus is about three times faster than the one paired with the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.

The information arrives from a YouTube video from XEETECHCARE. While we have already covered a number of reports and rumors related to the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s specifications, the new video offers us more details about its S Pen. With the South Korean tech giant being intent on continuing the Note series with its annual flagship’s Ultra models, the new information might be welcomed by Galaxy Note fans. Reportedly, the brand has improved upon the stylus, which will now be three times faster than the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.

Looking at the video, the company has worked on the S Pen to reduce the input delay or latency for the S Pen to just 2.8 ms when paired with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This is more than three times faster than the 9 ms input lag of the S Pen on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra. Through this improvement, the YouTuber claims that Samsung is aiming on offering users a handwriting experience that is close to the real deal. He even called it as “the fastest, most realistic S Pen with 3x improved pen latency.”

Apart from this, the Tech YouTuber also shared that the upcoming top end model of the flagship series will be the first to support the 12 bit HDR standard. Unfortunately, this is still an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt for now. The Galaxy S22 series is expected to launch sometime in February 2022, so stick around for more updates.

Earlier this year, Samsung launched the Galaxy S20 series flagship smartphones but it didn’t perform as per the company’s expectations in terms of sale and the situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic also didn’t help.

Recently, the South Korean giant launched the Galaxy Note20 lineup and since the Galaxy S20 didn’t perform well, expectations were high with the newly announced Galaxy Note20 lineup to make up for the weak sales of the S20 series.

However, a new report coming from Korea claims that Samsung has scaled down the production of the Galaxy Note20 series smartphones, indicating that the sales are not as per the company’s expectations.

The report claims that the company aimed to product 900,000 units of the Note20 lineup in October but only manufactured 600,000 units — only 70 percent of what the brand originally planned to make.

It further adds that the production ratio between the Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Note20 Ultra was around 1:2, and the drop in the production rate for the Note20 was worst compared to the Note20 Ultra.

The report also adds that the company is now gearing up to start the production for the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S21 series smartphones from next month and for the initial batch, the company is aiming to make two million units.

Samsung recently announced its financial report for the third quarter in which the smartphone sales increased 50 percent compared to the previous quarter, but the credit for that goes to the low-end and mid-range offerings more than the premium models.

Among them, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Hagia Sophia version is covered with a black marble carving layer. Only 99 units of the smartphone will be produced and it carries a retail price of $5830.

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Parthenon Edition uses white/light grey marble carvings and three rose gold temple pillars on the outer layer. It is also limited to 99 units with the retail pricing set at $5750.

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Forbidden City Edition features grey-green marble carvings and rose gold decorations on the outer layer. Caviar will also produce just 99 units with a retail price of US$6060.

The 2020 Galaxy Note series is made up of the Galaxy Note20 and Note 20 Ultra of which the latter is the topmost variant. While the Galaxy Note20 Ultra has continued to receive rave reviews, the same can’t be said of the Note20. Most complaints are centred around the display lacking a high refresh rate and the presence of a plastic back panel.

Turns out that the internals of the device isn’t one to be happy about. YouTuber channel PBKreviews has shared a video teardown of the vanilla Note20 giving us our first peek at the internals of the cheaper new Note. Sadly, the arrangement of the internal components means the device won’t be an easy one to repair.

The teardown started rolling with the reviewer taking off the back cover, first by applying heat and using the pry tool. Removing the back cover reveals the internal components, prominent of which is the 12MP wide and 64MP telephoto cameras which boast OIS. Heading down, you’ll find the wireless charging pad, earpiece and the 4,300 mAh battery. The S Pen dock is tucked in right next to the battery.

Talking of the battery, there is no pull tabs on the body which makes it difficult to remove the battery should there be any reason to want to do so. The only way to take it out is to heat up the adhesive and then apply alcohol. Then it becomes easy to yank it off using the pry tool.

The Galaxy Note20 features an under-screen fingerprint sensor and it is located under the battery compartment. The sensor is part of the display and is not easy to replace without prior knowledge. The display can be taken off after all the internal components are removed. All that is needed is some heat and the pry tool.

A few days ago, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy Note20 Ultra flagship smartphone. Although there are several new and powerful features on the device, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra isn’t as powerful as the Galaxy S20 Ultra which was launched earlier this year.

It is the first device to come with Samsung Display’s Lower Display Power Technology named HOP and the newly launched Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.

For the display, there’s low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) thin-film transistor (TFT) technology, reports The Elec. It is a combination of the best qualities of low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT and oxide TFT.

The LPTO technology is claimed to reduce the power consumption of OLED panels by 15 percent to 20 percent compared to LTPS. It even saves battery life when using AR and VR technology, as well as 5G connectivity.

The technology was first used by LG for the OLED panels on Apple Watch in 2018 and then Samsung used the same tech for the Galaxy Watch Active2 a year later. Now, Samsung is expected to use this HOP technology for next year’s Apple iPhone as well.

As for the camera, the Note20 Ultra packs 108-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor on the back. In comparison, the S20 Ultra features a 48MP telephoto lens. The Note20 Ultra also lacks a 3D ToF sensor and instead, comes with a laser auto-focus sensor.

Also, the company has reduced the 100x Space Zoom feature of the S20 Ultra to just 50x Space Zoom on the Note20 Ultra. But, the 5x optical zoom support remains intact. While the camera output may offer better results, on paper, the camera configuration doesn’t seem as powerful as S20 Ultra.

Samsung is all set to launch its next-generation Galaxy Note20 series flagship smartphones next week through a virtual Galaxy Unpacked conference. While most of the details about the phones have surfaced online, we are getting some more info ahead of the launch.

While the flagship smartphones will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, some markets will get the Samsung Exynos 990 variant. The new report claims that the Exynos 990 has been improved and seems more like 990 Plus.

Essentially, it is said that the Exynos 990 chipset packed inside the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note20 smartphone is different from the one found in the Galaxy S20 series smartphones launched earlier this year.

The Exynos 990 chipset has been optimized with improved performance and will be on-par with the newly announced Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset. However, this is just a claim by a tipster and we need to test the device once it launches, to confirm the claim related to improved performance.

I Hope everyone understands this:

The Exynos 990 on Note 20 series is an improved version with better optimization than the Snapdragon version and runs just as cool and just as fast as the Snapdragon.Its like an Exynos 990+

Samsung will also market the Exynos990 model as better
