Furthermore, the duo gets the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 SoC(depending on the region), which is the same as the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung has scheduled to launch the Galaxy S22 series on February 9. The smartphone series will have the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra. Ahead of the series’ debut, we have learned most of its details including the specifications, pricing, and shipping dates. In fact, some first-party cases were also leaked recently. Now again, we have another case leak, and this time, we get to see way more cases of all the phones in the series.

TechInsider has shared multiple images of all these cases from different angles. These cases include simple silicone protective cases, kickstand-design cases, clear cases, and even textured cases.

Unsurprisingly, the cases do show the design of the phones. But, at this point, we have already seen the phones from all angles in the past leaks.

Apart from these cases, Samsung is also expected to launch the Smart LED View case and some leather case options. Although we are seeing these many case options, not all will be available in your region. Most of them would land up only in the US.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been the subject of several rumors in recent weeks. Days back, it was hinted that all the three S22 models will have the Gorilla Glass Victus+ adorning at least one of their sides. Today, some official renders of the Galaxy S22+ have surfaced online, together with some specs details of the successor to the S21+.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series consists of the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, and all three models are expected to highlight significant improvements from their respective predecessors. A tipster Isha Agarwal has shared some stunning renders of what the S22+ looks like. It features a single and central punch hole for the front camera, and its look is accentuated by uniformly narrow bezels with the power and volume buttons on the right side of the smartphone.

The renders indicate a triple rear camera setup for the Galaxy S22+, with Samsung’s logo stylishly placed at the lower end of the device’s rear. The 50MP wide-angle camera of the S22+ features Adaptive Pixel technology for improved picture and video performance.

The smartphone’s display will have 1,750 nits peak brightness, adaptive refresh rate, and it will be slightly heavier than the S22, but a bit lighter than the S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22+ has a weight of 195g and a 4,500 mAh battery which can be charged via the USB-C port at 45W. The 45W fast charging support for the S22+ may be a tad farther from the industry leaders but seems an improvement from the S21+.

There was however no mention of the presence of Gorilla Glass Victus + in the Galaxy S22+. There are still some grey areas still not known about the Galaxy S22+ including release date, pricing, and other important features.

The post Alleged Samsung Galaxy S22+ official renders and key specs leaked appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been the subject of numerous leaks and rumors in the last 48 hours. Ahead of the next Galaxy Unpacked Event in January 2022, there had been a flurry of leaks and renders related to the Galaxy S22 lineup. The latest rumor is that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series will be powered by either Qualcomm or Exynos chipsets.

Previously, it had been speculated that only Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips will be present in the Galaxy S22 series. This much was leaked by a former Samsung employee. Another tipster then hinted that some regions will indeed see the Exynos 2200 in their Galaxy S22 models. It will seem that both leaks revealed one aspect of the matter.

A news item from Korea has revealed that Samsung will use both the Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200 chips in the new Galaxy S22 series. Obviously, in line with its tradition, Samsung will offer Snapdragon-equipped models to customers in the US, while Europe, South Korea, and other regions will be getting the Exynos 2200 versions of the same models. Samsung’s decision on different chipsets globally has attracted lots of flak from several quarters. However, the company has weathered the storm and now has a strong partnership with AMD aimed at strengthening the Exynos chips that will adorn its smartphones.

Geekbench performance numbers for the Snapdragon 898 and the Exynos 2200 are expected not to be significantly different. Another leak has indicated though that Exynos-equipped Galaxy S22 models may lag behind Snapdragon-equipped models in graphics, although the claim is not definitive.
