Samsung is gearing up to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphone, which is expected to happen sometime in February. Ahead of the launch, several leaks have revealed what the devices could pack.

Now, the top-end model in the lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra which is rumored to get launched as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Note, has reportedly been spotted on the South Korean giant’s official website.

A Samsung smartphone with a model number SM-S908U has been spotted with a support page on the company’s official website in China. However, it’s noteworthy that the device hasn’t been listed with its name and it just shows the model number.

The listing was first spotted by tipster Snoopy and it is also being claimed that Samsung has started the production of the upcoming Galaxy S-series flagship phones in full swing and is shipping thousands of components every day.

Recently, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra aka S22 Note was spotted on benchmarking platform Geekbench, which revealed its score as well some key specs. The device with model number SM-S908N is possibly for the home market of South Korea while the one with model number SM-908U could be for other regions.

Depending on the region, the device will come powered by either Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset or the company’s own Samsung Exynos 2200 SoC. Based on the recent leak, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is claimed to have two models — 12GB RAM with either 128GB or 256GB storage, and a 16GB RAM model with 512GB storage.

The device is said to come in Dark Red, Black, and White color option but some reports have also pointed to a new Green color option. As for the pricing, if the reports are to be believed, the series could have a starting price of $799.

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.

S22 ULTRA IS DEAD

Next is the S22 Note

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.
