It is no secret that Samsung is gearing up to launch its Galaxy S23 series of flagship smartphones in the coming months. There have already been numerous leaks regarding the hardware and design of the device. Now, two devices from the lineup, namely the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+, have been spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 has the model number SM-S911B/DS, while the Galaxy S22+ has the model number SM-S916B. Other than the model numbers, the listing does not reveal any other details. Let’s take a look at the leaked details of the devices so far.

Samsung Galaxy S23, S23+ specs (rumored)

According to reports, the Galaxy S23 will have a 6.1-inch Full HD+ AMOLED screen that supports a 120Hz refresh rate. On the other side, the S23+ will boast a 6.6-inch AMOLED screen. The phone will have a flat display and a hole-punch cutout in the top center, according to the leaked design renderings.

A triple camera arrangement will be on the rear. A 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera are anticipated to be included on the phone. The phones will have a 12MP front camera for taking selfies.

Depending on where it is available, the phones’ processors will either be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC or an Exynos 2300 SoC. They will come pre-installed with One UI 5.0 and run Android 13 out of the box. The phones reportedly enable 25W rapid charging as well. Additionally, the S23 is believed to have a larger battery than the 3700mAh cell found in the S22.

The launch date of the Samsung Galaxy S23 series is still under wraps. A recent report states that the phones will debut on January 5th. However, due to the dubious nature of the leak, we suggest our readers take it with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more.

While we have already shared our views on some of the best smartphones under varying  budgets, today we bring you a list of some of the best premium smartphones in India. So let’s have a look.

Apple iPhone 14 series

The Apple iPhone 14 series is currently one of the latest flagship series of smartphones that were released in the global market. With the 2022 iPhone lineup, the company brought a number of major changes in some models while others saw barely any difference. Starting with the higher end models, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are easily one of the top contenders for a true premium smartphone experience in the market.

One can expect top notch performance and optimizations from Apple, while also getting the first iPhone that drops the notch in favor of the Dynamic Island, which is basically refers to the new punch hole cutouts and even the number of functionality and features that comes along with it. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 sees no substantial upgrades over the previous generation iPhone 13, except for a slightly refreshed chipset.

The only change in the series overall is the iPhone 14 Plus, which replaces the iPhone mini model. But since the lower end models do not bring a substantial change to warrant an upgrade for iPhone 13 users. So we can even recommend the iPhone 13 lineup as well, which has recently been seeing sizeable discounts in India thanks to the ongoing festive season sales. Keep in mind that the 2021 model will still offer a premium flagship experience. The based iPhone 14 goes for 79,900 INR in India, while the iPhone 14 Plus costs 89,900 INR. The iPhone 14 Pro has a price tag of 1,39,900 INR and the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a price tag of 1,49,900 INR.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series

We can’t have a flagship list without including Samsung‘s flagship smartphones. With the Galaxy S22 series, the South Korean brand is basically offering a premium handset experience that may fit the needs of different people. Talking about the specs first, the entire lineup features either the Exynos 2200 (Europe) or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC (ROW). The Galaxy S22 series, includes the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The primary difference between the three models are the sizes, with the base variant having a 6.1 inch panel, while the Plus model having a 6.6 inch screen, and the Ultra model sporting a 6.8 inch display. Since Samsung is known for its AMOLED panels, the series offers some of the best smartphone display in the market. Notably, the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra even offer one of the highest brightness on a smartphone’s screen (with 1750 nits of peak brightness).

For those looking to buy a premium handset that isn’t too large, the Galaxy S22 is one of the best compact smartphones in the market. But for those looking for a larger flagship device, the Galaxy S22+ is a worthy consideration. There is even an option for the Galaxy Note devices, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra being offered along with a stylus for the productivity-oriented users. The base model starts from 75,999 INR, while the Plus model is priced at 88,999 INR. The top-end Ultra model costs 118,999 INR and one can find the entire series on Amazon India.

Google Pixel 7 series

Following the iPhone 14 release, Google soon followed up with its own flagship smartphone release. This year, it announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which aimed to once again showcase what a true Google phone or an Android phone with top notch software is like. The Pixel 6 series was the first generation of Pixel to feature the company’s proprietary chipset and the Pixel 7 lineup retains this, with a second gen Tensor G2 SoC. While this doesn’t bring a large performance bump in terms of raw power, it helps boost the more AI powered features that these phones offer, which is also what it is known for.

Furthermore, it also arrives with new and improved cameras, with the Pixel 7 Pro topping the DxOMark by tieing with the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate. So, we can safely assume that this is one of the best smartphone cameras. If this alone isn’t attractive enough, you get a number of exclusive Google features like speech recognition, Direct My call, and even some exclusive camera features like Photo Unblur, which lets you basically unblur any photo on your Pixel 7. This joins the likes of existing features like Magic Eraser. Both models also come with IP68 water and dust resistance rating. The Pixel 7 starts from 59,999 INR, while the Pixel 7 Pro goes for 84,999 INR.

Vivo X80 Pro

The Vivo X80 Pro is the top flagship offering from the Chinese brand. With the X80 series (excluding the X80 Pro+ in India), the company has offered premium handsets that feature top notch specs. The X80 Pro model features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, Quad HD AMOLED Display, and 80W fast charging support. The 6.78 inch panel also supports 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and an impressive peak brightness of 1500 nits.

Although, despite all of these robust features, its unique selling point is undoubtedly its camera setup. It has a quad camera setup with 50 megapixel primary sensor, 48-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and an 8 megapixel periscope zoom lens as well. The camera module also features Zeiss optics and Zeiss T* lens coating, with its camera performance being praised across the board. The smartphone is currently listed on Flipkart and is priced at 79,999 INR.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 & Galaxy Z Flip 4

Since we’re talking about premium phones that offer a flagship experience, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are a pair of two true ultra premium foldable phones. Both of these features various improvements over their predecessors, which comes in the form of upgraded cameras, larger batteries, and even Android 12L, which is an Android OS made specifically for devices with large screens.

Apart from having a unique form factor than the other models in this list, these also offer a premium and durable design with its Armor Aluminum frames and hinge, which is also complimented by the exclusive Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ for the front and rear glass panels. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the more expensive model of the two and features a notebook-like horizontally folding panel.

Both its out and inner displays are also made from Samsung’s top notch AMOLED 2X panels and offer 120Hz high refresh rate. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 model has a clamshell vertically folding display that also features the same display specs, but is paired with a smaller outer panel that serves interesting features and functions of its own. Both devices are powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and offer IPX8 water resistance. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 starts from 1,54,999 INR in India, while the Galaxy Z Flip 4 starts from 89,999 INR.

The post Samsung Galaxy S22 series receives One UI 5 Beta 4 update with multiple bug fixes appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is working on a new version of its One UI custom user interface — Samsung One UI 5.0 which will be based on the latest Android 13 operating system. It appears that the new version of the software isn’t far away.

As per the latest report coming from SamMobile, the South Koren giant is gearing up to release the new One UI 5.0 Beta version next month for the users of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones.

While the company hasn’t confirmed the plans for the One UI 5.0 beta version release but the report claims that it will be released in the third week of July. It further adds that the stable version will be released a couple of months before the end of this year.

Once the update is released to the Galaxy S22 series smartphone owners, we expect the company to expand it to other premium devices from the brand, including the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3.

Samsung has been doing a pretty good job of releasing new version updates for its premium smartphones for the past couple of years. Based on that, we may get the new update for other devices from the brand by the end of this year. But it’s a good idea to wait for the official announcement from the company before getting your hopes high.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series was just put through a drop test and the results were surprising. In a new video from Allstate on YouTube we can see the entire lineup of Galaxy S22 smartphones are less durable than the iPhone 13.

Looking at the video, the South Korean tech giant’s latest and great smartphones were put through a drop test to determine their durability by dropping them on their front, back, and sides to see the levels of damage. Talking about the face drop first, the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra shattered on the very first six feet drop test on the sidewalk. Notably, two out of the three models were completely unusable due to the drop test.

In comparison, the Apple iPhone 13 series were also tested by Allstate back in September 2021 and saw generally better results overall. For the face drop test, the iPhone 13 survived the drop with just minor damages and only cracked by the second face drop. Arriving at the back drop test, the Galaxy S22 series all had their rear panels completely shatter, but worked fine otherwise. Although, using them with bare hands was difficult since it had broken glass shards. On the other hand, the iPhone 13 models survived two drops with only minor cracks along the camera and the corner.

These results were replicated in the side drop tests as well, especially considering the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a curved display. Apart from the iPhone 13 being more durable overall, the Galaxy were also more prone to damage than Samsung’s last generation Galaxy S21 series as well. As per Allstate Protection Plan vice president Jason Siciliano, the design upgrades in the S22 and S22 Ultra have “resulted in durability downgrades when compared to their Galaxy S21 predecessors.”

Samsung has just recently announced the Galaxy S22 series. It is the company’s latest flagship smartphone, and now, it is receiving its first software update as customers that pre-ordered that devices have started receiving the new phones.

For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant’s latest premium handsets have seen record breaking pre-orders in various regions across the globe. With the Galaxy S22 series arriving at customers doorsteps, the company has rolled out a new firmware update to the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This firmware version is S90xEXXU1AVB3 and is currently rolling out in Afghanistan and Egypt.

Furthermore, additional nations will probably start receiving this update over the next couple of days as well. In a few countries, the latest smartphones may even ship with the new February 2022 update out of the box. According to the company, the new software update brings the February 2022 security patch along with over 60 fixes for the privacy and security vulnerabilities that are found in Galaxy smartphones.

In other words, if you already have a Galaxy S22 model and are in one of the aforementioned countries, you can check if you have received the new update. To check this, you can simply go to Settings > Software Update, once here, you can hit Download and install if you’ve received the update.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series was announced on February 9th, at the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event. Right now, the devices are only available for pre-order as Samsung won’t commence deliveries till February 25th in the case of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Early march for the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus models.

However, some customers have already got their hands on these new devices according to a TechRadar report. The Samsung subreddit has been blowing up with users posting about receiving their latest Galaxy S22 smartphones way earlier than expected. The reporters have mostly been about receiving the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the S22 Plus models.

The prevailing theory is that some customers who ordered the devices as soon as the pre-order windows opened got their devices dispatched to them immediately.

The comments sections are also largely filled with disappointed customers who have still received their devices. Some people have also reported being given arrival dates way ahead of the official release date of February 25th. However, it could just be due to system errors from the retailers and couriers, therefore we suggest people assume that their devices will arrive post the official release date rather than any date that’s been shown prior.

The post Some Samsung Galaxy S22 per-orders have arrived before release date: Report appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung recently launched the next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones which include Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. The devices come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Samsung Exynos 2200, depending on the region.

In India, the Galaxy S-series phones come powered by the Samsung Exynos series chipsets but that isn’t the case this time. It has been confirmed that the Galaxy S22 lineup in the Indian market is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

This was an expected move and there were a few reports in the past weeks indicating that the South Korean could start offering Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered devices in the world’s second-largest smartphone market.

The development is quite interesting, especially for a market like India where customers have been demanding Samsung bring its Qualcomm-powered premium phones to the market and the company has finally delivered.

It remains to be seen how these devices perform in the market in terms of sales. The Samsung Galaxy S20 FE, which was launched in India last year, is also powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon series chipset instead of the Exynos 990.

The has started taking pre-reservations for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series smartphones in India with ₹1,999 as a refundable deposit. It is also giving away a Galaxy SmartTag for free to those who pre-reserve these devices.

While Samsung has not yet confirmed this, it seems that the pre-booking for the device will be from 21st February and the sale will commence from 11th March. But do note that the South Korean giant has not yet officially confirmed these dates. Samsung is yet to reveal the memory variants and pricing details of the Galaxy S22 series in India.

Samsung has recently announced its Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup with the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra. In their initial press release, Samsung had sent the media that the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with 10~120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. However, 3 days later, Samsung has silently changed the details of the press release, now stating that the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with only 48~120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays instead.

The news came from Twitter user, Ross Young, who noticed that Samsung had changed the details of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ in their marketing materials 2 days after launch. From what he had gathered, he had noticed that in Samsung older marketing materials, it mentioned that both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ were equipped with 10~120Hz variable refresh rate displays, but in the new marketing materials Samsung has published, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ are only equipped with 48Hz~120Hz variable refresh rate displays, same as last year’s S21 and S21+.

This info is also further confirmed via comparisons between Samsung’s Newsroom current website for the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ and the archived version of said website via Internet Wayback Machine. 

Samsung silently changed the details of its Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ after it has opened pre-orders on Feb 10 for both phones in several markets such as in the US, Europe and Southeast Asia. The mislabelling of the specifications of the display has also reached the general public as many tech channels have uploaded their hands-on and impressions videos, mentioning that both devices have 10~120Hz refresh rate displays, when in reality, the S22 and S22+ only support 48~120Hz.

In fact, several users already had concerns about the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ having worse battery life than their predecessors, since the S22 and S22+ only come with 3700mAh and 4500mAh batteries respectively, while the S21 and S21+ were equipped with larger 4000mAh and 4800mAh batteries. 

Buyers thought that a more power-efficient 10-120Hz display could compensate for the 300mAh decrease in battery size since a display when reading e-books runs on less battery power at 10Hz compared to 48Hz. But Samsung has now confirmed their fears with a worse display than initially advertised. Hopefully, when devices reach the hands of consumers, software battery-saving optimisations would be enough to get the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ to last the whole day on a single charge.

Tipster Demonix has leaked a hands-on video of the entire upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series. The first device featured in the video is the Galaxy S22 Plus which pretty much keeps the same design profile as last year’s Galaxy S21 Plus, however, a noticeable difference is its metallic silver edges which makes it look even more gorgeous than its predecessor. The video shows the device in four color variants being black, green, pink, and white.

The silver metal finish is also present on the white color variant’s camera module and the device is revealed to be of around the same thickness as the S21 Plus. The right side of the device houses the power and volume rocker buttons and the bottom is revealed to feature a speaker grill, USB-C port, and SIM tray.

Next up in the video is the star of the show, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The video reveals that the S22 Ultra is quite thick, noticeably more than the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. However, the magic happens when the S Pen is pulled out. The stylus on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is said to be three times faster than the Note 20 Ultra which is in full view here as the operator writes the word “GALAXY” effortlessly and without any observable input lag.

Samsung is all set to unveil the Galaxy S22 series on February 9 globally and ahead of its launch, almost all the details have been revealed. The Galaxy S22 series will employ the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, depending on the region. Just like every year, Samsung was expected to offer Exynos-powered S22 units in India. However, now a new tip from Ishan Agarwal(via Pricebaba) reveals that the S22 series for the Indian market will have the hankered Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC.

Having a Snapdragon chipset in the Galaxy S-series flagship was only a wish for several Samsung fans in India. Seems like, the wish would finally get fulfilled this year, thanks to the Snapdragon-powered S22 units in India.

Notably, this time around, there will be the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. The design of the former two models is similar to the existing S21 series phones. But, we’ll get to see a new design for the Ultra. It will be almost like a boxy Galaxy Note-like design.

As for the specs sheet, there will be a 6.1-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel on the vanilla S22, a 6.6-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen on the S22+, and lastly a large 6.8-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED panel on the S22 Ultra. The trio will get a 120Hz refresh rate.

The S22 and S22+ will have a triple camera system with a 12MP + 50MP + 10MP triple camera system.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S22-series flagship smartphones have been leaked numerous times and with just a few days more for the official launch, some key details about the lineup are now surfacing online.

In a new leak, the pricing details for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones for the United States market have surfaced.

The new report coming from Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech reveals that the Samsung Galaxy S22 will have a starting price of $799 while the Galaxy S22 Plus will start at $999. The top-end model in the lineup, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, will reportedly carry a starting price of $1,199 in the United States.

This newly leaked pricing is essentially in line with the pricing of the last year’s Galaxy S21 series smartphones. It also contradicts previous reports about Samsung slightly increasing pricing of the upcoming phones.

If this turns out to be true, then it seems like a good move from the South Korean giant as it faces a lot of competition in the premium smartphone market from the likes of the Apple iPhone 13 series and the Google Pixel 6 series.

In the Asian market, Samsung will be competing against the likes of the Xiaomi 12 series of flagship smartphones, along with the likes of the OnePlus 10 Pro and premium devices coming from brands like Realme and OPPO, among others.

Apart from the pricing leak, some details about the phone’s availability have also surfaced online. It is said that after being available for pre-order from 9th February, the S22 Ultra will start shipping from 25th February while the S22 and S22 Plus will go on sale a bit later, around 11th March.

To know for sure what the South Korean giant has planned for the next-generation Galaxy S-series lineup, we will have to wait for the official Galaxy Unpacked launch event, which is scheduled for 9th February.

Last week, we reported on rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra deliveries being delayed up to 3 months due to high demand. But now, a new leak has surfaced stating that the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus will be the ones getting delayed.

According to analyst and tipster Jon Prosser, undisclosed sources have informed him that the Galaxy S22 and S22+ availability will be delayed till March 11th. Jon states that the pre-order of all the devices will commence on February 9th, however, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be made available from February 25th, following which, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ models will commence sales and delivery from March 11.

Netizens and Samsung fans have called out the move stating that it is a strategy from the South Korean company to push customers towards purchasing the higher-end model. For now, it remains unconfirmed whether the company will actually delay deliveries of the devices post their launch on February 9th at the Galaxy Unpacked event.

Samsung has officially announced the next Galaxy Unpacked event on 9th February and the invitation poster also hints that the South Korean giant is all set to launch the next-generation Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones.

The invitation shows a pink-colored “S” letter inside the box, which pretty much confirms that the company is all set to officially announce the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup.

The event will kick off at 10 am ET (7 am PT or 2 pm GMT) and similar to the previously held events from the company, this one too will be live-streamed. While the devices haven’t been made official yet, Samsung has already started taking reservations for those who are interested to get the device early.

However, to know more about the upcoming smartphones, including the full set of specifications, features, memory variants, pricing, and availability details, we will have to wait for the official launch next month.

Samsung is expected to unveil three phones in this new series — Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is being touted as an alternative to the Galaxy Note device from the brand and will come with support for the S Pen stylus as well as a place to hold it in the device itself.

The flagship smartphones will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset or the Exynos 2200 processor, depending on the region of availability. The pricing for the devices has already leaked online and will reportedly start at $899 in the US.

The Galaxy S22 series isn’t the only product getting launched at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event as the company is also expected to announce the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup which will have three models.

Samsung is all set to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones and has already confirmed that the Galaxy S22 lineup will be officially announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event on 9th February.

Now, just a day after the European pricing for the upcoming smartphones leaked, the pricing details for the United States market have also been confirmed through a new leak, which is in line with the previous reports.

A Google survey has revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S22 will start at $899 in the United States, while the S22 Plus will cost $1,099. The top-end model of the lineup — the Galaxy S22 Ultra, will have a starting price of $1,299. The same pricing has also been leaked by a Twitter account @TechInsiderBlog.

The leak only mentions the starting price for the upcoming phones and doesn’t list pricing for all the variants that will get launched. The recently leaked European pricing for the series has listed pricing for all the variants of the Galaxy S22 series.

The pricing for the upcoming flagship smartphone from Samsung in the United States is about $100 higher for the base model when compared to its predecessor. It will be interesting to see how the devices are received by the customers given that the South Korean giant is facing a lot of competition.

Although the Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to come with some major upgrades, including a revamped design, better specifications, improved camera sensors, and more, the pricing will play a crucial role for it to become one of the top-selling products for the year. For comparison, the Apple iPhone 13 Mini starts at $699 while Google’s Pixel 6 at $599.

The post Samsung Galaxy S22 series US pricing leaks ahead of launch in early February appeared first on Gizmochina.

After months of rumors and leaks, South Korean giant Samsung has finally announced that the upcoming flagship smartphones from the brand, the Galaxy S22 lineup, will be officially announced at the Galaxy Unpacked event on 9th February.

Just weeks ahead of the official launch, the pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series in the European market has leaked online.

The base model of Galaxy S22 with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will be priced at €849 while the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage model will cost €899. The Galaxy S22 Plus with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage end up costing €1,049 while the model with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage will be priced at €1,099.

On the other hand, the Galaxy S22 Ultra with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage will cost €1,249 and the 12GB RAM with 256GB model will be priced at €1,349. The top-end model with 12GB RAM and 512GB storage will cost €1,449.

It’s noteworthy that the leak doesn’t align with the previous leak that suggested that the base model of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will have 12GB RAM and the top-end model will pack 16GB of RAM. There have also been reports about Samsung bringing back a 1TB storage model, which has also not surfaced in this new price leak.

It will be interesting to see how Samsung prices the upcoming Galaxy S22 series smartphones given that it is facing a lot of competition with Apple having iPhone 13 Mini starting at $699 and the Google’s Pixel 6 at $599.

Although the Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to come with some major upgrades, including a revamped design, better specifications, improved camera sensors, and more, the pricing will play a crucial role for it to become one of the top-selling products for the year.

Samsung’s first highlight of the year is always its first Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event which happens during the period between January and March of each year. A few days ago, Samsung confirmed that it would hold the Galaxy Unpacked event in February 2022, though the company is yet to reveal the exact launch date. However, it seemed that some info slipped through the cracks as users found the exact official launch date online.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked February 2022 is officially happening on February 9, 2022(Wednesday) at 10 am EST(8:30 pm IST). The info comes from users online reporting that they were given a Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2022 advertisement on Instagram that led them to the pre-order reservation sign up form. After completing the form, in a pop-up completion message, Samsung revealed that it will unveil its new range of innovative products on February 9 at 10 am EST via Samsung.com, which is where Samsung usually hosts the live stream for their annual Spring Unpacked event.

Samsung’s February 2022 Galaxy Unpacked event is set to announce its flagship smartphone lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series and its flagship tablet lineup, the Galaxy Tab S8 series as well.

The Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra as well as the upcoming Galaxy Tab S8 series are now officially open for preorder reservations. The company will be offering early-bird discounts and bonuses for those who chose to place a reservation right away. The company is promoting “exclusive offers” which are not known yet but there is the usual $50 credit.

The Galaxy S22 series is expected to come with the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset while some models will ship in a few regions with an Exynos 2200 chipset. The device will come with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage.

Furthermore, the flagship models will run on the latest Android 12 operating system with an overlay of Samsung’s custom One UI 4.0. The top variant – the Galaxy S22 Ultra will include a dedicated S Pen Stylus in the device and pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for 45W super-fast charging.

Samsung has a track record of hosting Galaxy Unpacked events to launch its next-generation flagship smartphones and the South Korean giant will do the same for the upcoming Galaxy S22-series devices.

While the date for the Galaxy Unpacked event has not been revealed, the company has confirmed that there will indeed be a new Galaxy Unpacked event next month, i.e. February 2022.

TM Roh, the President and Head of MX Business for Samsung Electronics has published a blog post and shared a teaser video. The upcoming phones have also been teased as Roh promises that the “most noteworthy S series devices” will be unveiled at the next month’s Unpacked event. He also adds that “the next generation of Galaxy S is here, bringing together the greatest experiences of our Samsung Galaxy into one ultimate device.”

Although the company has not announced the launch date for the upcoming Galaxy S22-series smartphones, multiple reports have indicated that the Galaxy Unpacked event will be hosted on 8th February while the device will be available for purchase by 24th February.

There will be three smartphones in the S22 lineup — Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. Since the South Korean giant has discontinued the Note-series phones, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is said to be a spiritual successor of the Galaxy Note20.

The top-end offering in the upcoming lineup, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will feature a 6.8-inch Dynamic 2X AMOLED display that offers a Quad HD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 1,750 nits brightness.

Under the hood, it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC or the newly announced Exynos 2200 chipset, depending on the region of availability. It will pack up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The phone will come preinstalled with One UI 4 based on the Android 12 operating system. It will be powered by a 5,000mAh battery and have 45W fast charging support. There will also be a dedicated slot for the S Pen stylus.

In a few weeks, Samsung is expected to launch its next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones. Ahead of the official launch expected on 8th February, several details about the Galaxy S22 series have leaked online.

Now, the latest report coming from Korea hints about the increasing price for the lineup. It claims that because of the global shortage of chipsets, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series phones could see a price hike.

The pricing of several important components for smartphones has increased by 30-40 percent while pricing for the power management chips and image sensor chips has increased by 10-15 percent.

The report hints that the Samsung Galaxy S22 could carry a starting price of $899, which is about $100 more compared to its predecessor. However, some reports also indicate that the company will stick to the same pricing as the Galaxy S21 series because of the increasing competition from Apple and Chinese brands.

Samsung will be launching three smartphones — Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra. The phones will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset or the company’s own Exynos 2200 processor, depending on the region of availability.

The standard Galaxy S22 is expected to be a compact flagship from the South Korean giant, offering a 6.06-inch display that will have a peak brightness of 1000nits. On the other hand, the S22 Plus and Ultra models will have the highest brightness on phones, offering 1750nits brightness and contrast ratios of 3,000,000:1.

The Galaxy S22 Plus will reportedly have a 6.55-inch display while the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s display measures 6.81-inches. The Ultra model will come with a slot for holding an S-Pen stylus. For charging, the phones are said to come with a new 45W fast charging support.

This is in line with the previous reports which also indicated a similar timeline for the next-generation smartphones. It is also being reported that the company will send out invitations by the end of this month.

Further, the company is expected to start taking pre-orders for the phones from the very next day, i.e. from 9th February but the actual sale will begin from 24th February.

Samsung has been working on the next generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones including the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy S22 Plus, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra (Galaxy S22 Note). These devices are rumored to launch in February 2022 after the rumored launch of the much-delayed Galaxy S21 FE at CES 2022.

Now, tipster Yogesh Brar has revealed on Twitter, what could be the first visuals of the upcoming Galaxy S22 lineup via dummy models.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Lineup

The dummy models showcase the phones in two color variants, black and white. The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus back panels follow their predecessors’ design profile to a T with a triple camera module placed in the top left corner of the device in a verticle alignment and an LED flash placed beside the primary camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is different, opting for a more boxy look akin to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10. The device also features a similar but different camera setup compared to the S21 Ultra. Instead of the quad-cameras being surrounded by the camera module, the lenses appear to protrude out of the flat body. The laser autofocus and LED flash are placed above the telephoto camera, similar to the S21 Ultra. Additionally, the device appears to have rounded edges, hinting at a curved display.

All three models can be observed with the Samsung branding on the lower center. The devices can be observed to differ a lot in size giving credence to previous rumors that suggest the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus will feature smaller size displays at 6.06-inch and 6.55-inch, respectively. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to feature a 6.8-inch screen accompanied by a Stylus which will be housed inside the device.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus models are expected to feature 8GB RAM and storage options of 128GB and 256GB. However, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra variant will come with two RAM configurations of 12GB paired with 128/256GB storage and 16GB paired with 512GB. All three Galaxy S22 series devices are expected to come with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoCs and Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 SoC. And the device is rumored to come in four color variants so far namely Black, White, Red, and Olive.

Samsung is yet to reveal any official details or a launch timeline for the Galaxy S22 series, but rumors are afloat of an early February launch. So stick around as we expect more leaks to surface as we get closer to the launch event.

Samsung is working on the next-generation Galaxy S-series flagship smartphones and if the reports are to be believed, then the launch will take place at the Galaxy Unpacked on 8th February, but the company is yet to confirm this.

As the rumored launch date nears, more details about smartphones have started surfacing online. In the latest development, the Samsung Galaxy S22 has been spotted on the FCC website, reports MySmartPrice.

The base model in the lineup with model number SM-S901U has been spotted on FCC but the listing has not revealed many details. It shows that the phone will have support for Wi-Fi 802.11 a/n/ac/ax along with Bluetooth, NFC, 5G, and LTE. Further, it has also been revealed that the device will have support for wireless charging.

Along with the vanilla S22, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus with model number SM-S906U has also been spotted on FCC. It will pack a battery with model number EB-BS906ABY with a rated capacity of 4,370mAh along with support for 25W fast charging.

Based on the earlier leaks, the Galaxy S22 is expected to feature a 6.06-inch Full HD+ display while the S22+ will have a 6.55-inch screen. Both the models are expected to have support for a 120Hz refresh rate.

There will also be a punch-hole cutout at the top of the screen for housing a front-facing snapper. It is said to be the same 10-megapixel camera that’s found on the Galaxy S21. On the backside, there will be a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary camera sensor, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to come powered by the newly launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset or Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 SoC, depending on the region. However, this time, it is reported that instead of the brand’s own Exynos 2200, the devices will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the Indian market.

We expect more details about the smartphone to surface online in the coming days. Meanwhile, the South Korean giant is also gearing up to launch the much-delayed Galaxy S21 FE smartphone in January.

As per recent reports, the latest and greatest from Qualcomm – the Snapdragon 898 – will be making its debut around mid-December. The Xiaomi 12 is expected to be one of the first models to be powered by it, if not the first, but the Samsung Galaxy S22 is still expected to be among the first batches.

And now, a reliable tipster (via: IT Home) has given us a first look at what to expect from the front of the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+. The image shared by them is of tempered glasses for the two models, prepped in advance by an accessory manufacturer. It also shows similar tempered glasses for the S21 models, for comparison’s sake.

As apparent from the shared photo, the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ are expected to have rounder corners than last year’s models. But what’s cooler to see is that the phones have achieved equal bezels all around. This is something that Apple has maintained on their notched iPhone models since the very beginning. But Android flagships have preferred to keep slimmer bezels on three sides paired with a chin at the bottom.

However, if what the tempered glass is implying indeed turns out true, the S22 models will sport equal bezels all around with them also being extremely narrow.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to go live early next year and has already obtained 3C certification in China. It shows that the models will be equipped with 25W fast charging technology.

Along with the performance, design, and display improvements, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be coming with upgraded cameras, just like every other iteration. The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ will be equipped with a 50-megapixel primary shooter that will support four-in-one pixel binning technology.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was similarly leaked as well. But unlike the other S22 models, it will be coming with a rectangular, boxy design reminiscent of the Galaxy Note series. It will also be having stylus support.

Samsung hasn’t really focused on improving the optical zoom capability of its flagship Galaxy S models. The 2020 Galaxy S20 and S20+ as well as this year’s Galaxy S21 and S21+ were only equipping with 1.1x optical zoom. But thanks to the high resolution of the sensor (64MP), these devices can also use digital zoom to complement for this optical zoom deficiency.

However, according to GalaxyClub.nl, Samsung seems to be planning to take a different approach on the Galaxy S22 / S22+ models that will arrive early next year. GalaxyClub.nl quoted sources as saying that the Galaxy S22 series smartphones will be equipped with a 10-megapixel telephoto lens that supports 3X optical zoom, rather than the hybrid zoom of the Galaxy S20/21 era.

As reported last week, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is expected to continue the dual 10-megapixel telephoto camera setup on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. One of the lens will be a periscope lens that will offer 10x optical zoom. However, even if Samsung omitted the lens that supports 10X optical zoom on the standard Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus models, at least one with an enhanced optical zoom is expected to be on the models.

In addition, GalaxyClub.nl also confirmed last week an earlier rumor that the Galaxy S22 / S22+ models will be equipped with a 50MP main camera. Considering that the 12MP wide-angle lens is already a no-brainer, the rest that is left to be known is the improvements on the front camera.

A lot of the features of the Galaxy S22 series are still unknown. But there are rumors that the Galaxy S22+ will be equipped with a 4500 mAh battery and will be powered by an Exynos 2200 chipset integrated with AMD mRNDA GPU. In terms of software, it is expected that Galaxy S22 will be pre-installed with OneUI 4.x based on Android 12 when it is launched early next year.
