Samsung Unpacked event for 9th February has been announced officially. We are just hours away from the first official look of the S22 series. They have also teased the merger between the Note series and the S series. Everything including official marketing material, press images, and even real-life images has been exposed.
Samsung themselves have openly teased about the Note experience returning with the S22 Ultra. Their teaser video also includes an S series device and a Note series device colliding to form a single beast. The S22 series is one of the most hyped S-series in history. Here is everything we know about the S22 series:
Launch Date
Samsung Galaxy S22 series is set to launch on the 9th of February, 2022. According to Jon Prosser, Samsung will receive pre-orders of its new flagship line-up on 9th February. While they will be made available to the public on the 25th of February. Samsung has failed to keep it’s upcoming flagship phones secret. All details including press images and the official introduction video have been exposed.
S22 Ultra
S22 Ultra will come in burgundy color with a black S-Pen with copper accents. According to the renders, the top-end model would indeed be called the S22 Ultra, not the S22 Note as previously leaked. Although, the Note naming would have made perfect sense. S22 Ultra will have a 6.7″ huge screen. Moreover, it will be also available in green, black, and white colorways.
S22 And S22+
The vanilla S22 is also revealed in the leaked images. It seems like those dummy models that were leaked previously, were indeed very close to the real product. The S22 seems to be donning the same color combination as the phantom white S21 last year. The design looks very similar to its predecessor. However, there are some changes. The back-plate is flat and has no curve like last year. Moreover, a glossy glass back is reported to make a return on the vanilla S22 and S22+. S22 will sport a 6.06″ display while S22+ will rock a 6.55″ screen. Both devices will come with flat displays. They will come in green, white, pink gold, and black color options.
Specifications (Expected)
The specifications are already leaked, leaving nothing to the imagination. All three models will come with dynamic LTPO OLED screens with 120Hz refresh rates. The Ultra will come with an S-Pen slot and a boxy design, reminiscent of the Galaxy Note. S-Pen latency will be dropped down to an insane 2.8ms. S22 and S22+ will arrive with similar designs as their predecessors. The major change will be in their back-plates.
The material used will be glass with a glossy finish and it will be a flat back-plate. They will use Qualcomm’s latest 8Gen1 alongside the latest Exynos 2200 chipset in selected regions. All three models will come with upgrades in the camera department and will look to better their previous performances. Lastly, Samsung will offer 4 years of OS upgrades and 5 years of security updates. This is a great step from Samsung. They have managed to cut above the rest, even Google. All three devices are expected to have the same prices as last year.
