While the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is still a while away from launch, various rumors have surfaced online in the recent weeks. Now, a new report has revealed that the Galaxy S22 Ultra might feature a waterdrop notch display on the front.

According to a LetsGoDigital report, a source has revealed new details regarding the high end Ultra variant. A well known source from South Korea, Super Roader, who is also a former employee of the wireless division of Samsung Electronics. At times certain reports might have conflicting information, and now, Super Roader believes that the camera system on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is different from what we have reported on in the past.

Reportedly, the South Korean tech giant will feature a waterdrop notch over a punch hole selfie shooter on the front display. But the news also implies that the dual camera island modules on the rear might not be the official design of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Although, it does seem odd that the brand is aiming on equipping a front camera design that it ships with its budget Galaxy A series of smartphones.

As of right now, finer details regarding the high end Galaxy S22 Ultra is still unknown. However, various reports had hinted at it being a successor to the Galaxy Note series. Yesterday, we had also covered schematics of the device, which showcased the smartphone with a built in S Pen slot as well. So stay tuned for more updates.

Outdoor sports are becoming more and more popular nowadays since people are making a shift towards a healthier life. Thus, the need for rugged smartphones has increased as they are durable to withstand accidental drops and even rain. But most of the time rugged phones are bulky and heavy and that makes them unsuitable for intense activity. For that reason, Oukitel is about to release the Oukitel Y1000, the thinnest sports rugged smartphone.

According to the company, it retains the IP68 certification that makes it waterproof, dust-proof, and drop-resistance. At the same time, it sports a trendy design and a super-thin unibody craft that is a combination of TPU and PC+GF materials. Featuring a thin body of 11.2mm and 212g weight, it is well below the average of 16mm and 300g+ of a usual rugged phone. So, no more feeling like you are holding a brick!

As for the rest of the specs, the Y1000 comes with a 6.088″ waterdrop display with HD+ resolution and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Asahi glass is used to protect the display panel while the body is covered with TPU material which is stretchy and resistant to falls and bumps. It comes in 6 back cover colors: Black, Puce, Light Blue, Violet, Pink, and Red. It is a 3G smartphone featuring a 4-core MT6580p SoC combined with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage but the Y1000 Pro with 4G support will arrive soon. The waterdrop notch hosts the 5MP front camera while the rear camera is a dual one with 8MP/2MP sensors. Judging from the specs, the 3600mAh built-in battery should easily last a whole day.
