According to the latest rumor from tipster Jon Prosser, Samsung will announce the Galaxy S22 lineup at its Unpacked event set for February 8, 2022. The pre-orders are said to begin on February 8, followed by device shipments from February 18, 2022.

There haven’t been any reliable price leaks for the Galaxy S22 lineup just yet. However, we could expect the company to sell the S22 series at the same price as their predecessors.

Samsung Galaxy S22: Design and Display

According to a recent tweet from popular tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy S22 may pack a 6.06-inch Full-HD+ flat AMOLED display (slightly smaller compared to the 6.2-inch panel on the S21). The Galaxy S22 Plus, on the other hand, may offer a larger 6.5-inch Full-HD+ flat AMOLED display.

The top-end S22 Ultra may flaunt an even larger 6.8-inch Quad-HD+ curved AMOLED display. All three devices are likely to offer 120Hz refresh rate support. Also, much like its predecessor, the Galaxy S22 series will include a top-centered punch-hole selfie camera.

Apart from the note-like chunky design and the S Pen slot, another design upgrade that you may have noticed in the S22 Ultra is the new camera array on the rear. Instead of the massive camera bump found on the S21 Ultra, Samsung might be looking towards a more Galaxy A-series-like or LG Velvet-like individual camera lens array. We will discuss the camera specifications for all three models in the next section.

Moreover, if you are someone who’s interested in numbers, here are the rumored dimensions of the upcoming Galaxy S22 series:

According to the tipster Ice Universe in a recent post on Weibo, Samsung would use a 50MP GN5 primary sensor with f/1.55 aperture on the standard Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. It could be accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 12MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, which is a welcome change over the existing 3x hybrid zoom found on the Galaxy S21.

Unlike usual Samsung Galaxy flagship launches, it’s in the air that more regions, including India, could get the Snapdragon 898-powered Galaxy S22 models instead of the Exynos 2200 models. The upcoming Snapdragon flagship chipset is based on the 4nm process node and feature the ARM Cortex-X2 core, as per the rumor mill.

Last but not least, let’s talk about the battery and charging capabilities of the upcoming Galaxy S22 series. The Galaxy S22 is expected to come equipped with a 3,700mAh battery. Meanwhile, as per recent reports, the Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Ultra will boast 4,500mAh and 5,000mAh batteries, respectively.

As for charging speeds, we could expect at least the S22 Ultra variant to offer 45W fast charging capable of charging the device from 0 to 70% in 35 minutes, an improvement over Galaxy S21’s 25W fast charging. However, we suggest you don’t get your hopes up, as a recent listing for the Galaxy S22 lineup on China’s 3C technology regulator website reveals it will stick to the trusted 25W fast-charging tech.
