Galaxy S22 series preorders were twice those of the Galaxy S21 series, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra accounting for 60% of sales.

Likewise, preorders of the Galaxy Tab S8 series more than doubled preorder numbers for the Galaxy Tab S7 series, with one in two orders being that of the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

And in India, the Galaxy S22 Series secured 70K+ pre-bookings just 12 hours after they went live on February 23rd, setting a new record.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Series is comprised of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ that come with glass backs, ditching plastic ones from last year’s models, along with improvements across the board. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, meanwhile, marks the return of the Note series, featuring an S Pen and the iconic boxy design.

The Galaxy Tab S8 series is available in three models—Tab S8, S8+, and the first-ever, Tab S8 Ultra. All of them offer improved multi-tasking performance and greatly enhanced ecosystem features.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S22 series and Galaxy Tab S8 series together with its Unpacked event last week. This was followed by ‘pre-reservations‘ in India where users could reserve the S22 series by paying Rs 1,999. But while Samsung is yet to announce actual pre-order/sales dates, a reliable tipster has shared the expected delivery dates for the flagship Galaxy devices in the country.

Ishan Agarwal through a tweet revealed that he expects some of the Galaxy S22 series and Tab S8 series pre-orders in India to be delivered starting March 7. This appears to be limited to early birds though, and the vast majority of buyers should only get the devices starting March 11, which is the official date for most regions.

Some of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series & Tab S8 Series pre-orders in India will be delivered starting March 7.

Depends on how early you preorder! Most of the units will still arrive starting March 11th, which is the official date for most regions.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 family in India will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 instead of the Exynos 2200, which most will appreciate. After all, Exynos variants have historically been slower, ran hotter, and consumed battery faster.

Samsung had earlier today revealed the pricing for the entire flagship phone lineup and it starts from Rs 72,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant of the Galaxy S22.

But the pricing for the Galaxy Tab S8 series is yet to be announced. From it, the most premium model — Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra — has received some significant upgrades over its predecessor, sporting a much larger display and massively improved cameras.

Sudhanshu — Sun, 13 Feb 2022 14:40:53 +0000

Before the launch of the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup, reports emerged stating that the phones may arrive late to the consumers due to high demand. However, it appears as Samsung may have underestimated the popularity of their tablets as they are now struggling to keep up with the demand.

A recent XDA-Developers report stated that the South Korean tech giant has paused the pre-orders of its recently released Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in the US. The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus appears to still be available for pre-order, however, it is also expected to run out of stock soon.

On the matter, Samsung stated that “We are thrilled by the consumer response to our new Galaxy Tab S8 lineup. Due to the overwhelming demand in the last 48 hours, we will be pausing preorders at Samsung.com for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and Galaxy Tab S8. We are working quickly to meet consumer excitement and demand. Please stay tuned for more updates.”

Considering that the Galaxy Tab S8 series is Samsungs’ only tablet release since August 2020, it is not surprising that they are selling like hotcakes. Add in the fact that they carry some major upgrades over the last-gen tablets like the super low latency S Pen, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and the 14-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x Display on the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra variant, and you get the most desirable Android tablet offering in the current market.

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.
