Samsung Galaxy S22: info, release date, price …

SAMSUNG GALAXY S22. The reveal of the new Samsung Galaxy S22 seems to be approaching. Several information and visuals of smartphones are already available online.

[Mis à jour le 03 décembre 2021 à 15h57] Will the new Samsung Galaxy S22 be announced soon? The firm usually presents these new flagships at the start of the year, as was the case in January 2021 with the announcement and release of the S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra. This period is ideal so as not to stick too much with the new products of certain competitors such as Apple, which is rolling out its new iPhones at the end of the year.

It has been several months now that various leaks have been available concerning the Samsung Galaxy S22. The firm’s new smartphone already seems to be in the hands of some insiders, and various pictures are available on the web. Find all the information already available about the S22, S22 + and S22 Ultra before their official release.

If Samsung decides to repeat its strategy adopted last year with the S21, the company should offer three versions for its new Galaxy S22. These would have different sizes and characteristics in order to satisfy a large panel of users, as is often the case with this kind of launch. The three models offered would therefore be the Samsung Galaxy S22, the S22 + and the S22 Ultra.

Regarding the S22 and S22 +, the design of the telephone would be quite similar to its predecessors. The S22 Ultra would be equipped witha curved screen, and especially a case dedicated to the storage of the S-Pen, which was notably missing from the brand’s latest foldable phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3.

If Samsung respects its usual schedule of releases, the manufacturer should reveal more information about its new Galaxy S22 by the end of 2021. Last year, the previous S21 were released at the end of January . The Korean company should logically offer a similar schedule for its next phone. The new Samsung Galaxy S22 should therefore be available during the month of January-February 2022.

Several sources seem to confirm these hypotheses. First of all, the production of the new Samsung Galaxy S22 would start at least in November which is ideal for a release at the beginning of the year 2022. The manufacturer also has the habit of unveiling and releasing these new Galaxy S at the beginning of the year. year. Specialized leaker Jon Prosser, apparently already in possession of the S22 Ultra, reveals on Twitter that Samsung’s next conference would be scheduled for January 4 for the S21 FE, and an announcement on February 8 for the S22 range.

Once again, difficult to say in advance. However, it is always possible to use the prices charged in past years, in particular those for the release of the Galaxy S21. If the Korean firm again offers three different models, the new Samsung Galaxy S22 should position itself as follows:

• Samsung Galaxy S22: from 859 euros
• Samsung Galaxy S22 +: from 1059 euros
• Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: from 1259 euros

These new smartphones would therefore always be positioned at high-end prices. Unlike Apple, Samsung does not yet seem inclined to offer a more “low cost” version of its flagship. However, it will be necessary to wait for an official announcement and a dedicated conference to be fixed on the final prices of the Samsung Galaxy S22.

Although this information should be taken with a grain of salt, the Samsung Galaxy S22 has been the victim of numerous leaks for several weeks. Whether it is about its processor, its photo sensors or just its design, several photographs and noises of corridors continue to unveil the future smartphone from Samsung.

A Snapdragon or Exynos processor

Samsung is one of those manufacturers capable of offering their own in-house processors. The S21 was notably equipped with the Exynos 2100 chip with excellent performance that could compete with Snapdragon processors. However, we will have to wait for an official announcement to know whether Samsung intends to equip its next flagship with its own chip (which would then be the Exynos 2200) or start again on a Snapdragon SoC (the 8 gen1 in this case, since the firm has abandoned its old denominations). According to the Tron leaker, specializing in such leaks, Europe would only have Samsung’s in-house processor, namely the Exynos 2200 which would equip the future Galaxy S22.

A design very close to the Galaxy S21

According to the first leaks of the designs of the Samsung Galaxy S22, the latter would look like its predecessor to be mistaken! The first photos already available on the web reveal a photo block arranged on the side and still a front sensor placed in the center of the screen and not directly placed under the screen as is already the case on the foldable phone of the brand, the Z Fold 3.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra differs a little more from its classic counterpart by offering an original P-shaped photo block. The latter also has two additional photo modules that could be reserved for the telephoto lens. Its edges also differ from the other two models since they are less rounded in order to leave more space on the screen. The latter would in particular be fully compatible with the use of the S-Pen stylus from Samsung which would even be directly available with the smartphone as evidenced by the first pictures on the net.

A high definition screen with 120 Hz

Regarding the screen of the Galaxy S22, they would be divided into two distinct categories: on the one hand, the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 + would have a Full HD + panel while the S22 Ultra will be equipped with a QHD + panel. The three screens will however be equipped with screens capable of displaying a refresh rate of 120 Hz. To see if the latter will be adaptive and if the repercussions on the battery are not too much felt on a daily basis. Regarding the relative sizes of the screens, these evolve according to the desired model:

• Samsung Galaxy S22: 6.06 “screen.
• Samsung Galaxy S22 +: 6.55 screen“.
• Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 6.81 “screen.

A camera with 50 Mpx

The current generation of Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21 + has three photo sensors of 12, 12 and 64 Mpx respectively. Only the S21 Ultra stood out with four dedicated sensors (12, 108, 10 and 10) for wide angle, ultra wide angle and telephoto. The Samsung Galaxy S22 would offer new sensors with a main increase to 50 Mpx presented in 2021. The smartphone would thus follow the following model:

• Samsung Galaxy S22: main sensor 50 Mpx / ultra wide angle 10 Mpx / telephoto 2 Mpx.
• Samsung Galaxy S22 +: main sensor 50 Mpx / ultra wide angle 10 Mpx / telephoto 2 Mpx.
• Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 108 Mpx main sensor / 12 Mpx ultra wide angle / 10 and 10 Mpx telephoto lenses.

Although it did not live up to Apple’s expectations, the iPhone 12 mini had the merit of offering a high-end phone at a more affordable price than its counterparts. It was also a smartphone with reduced dimensions and which could therefore suit a panel of users who prefer to equip themselves with devices that are easy to use.

Samsung will he risk such an initiative? He’s a safe bet not. As we mentioned earlier, the mini version of the iPhone was very disappointing in terms of sales, which is not very encouraging for other manufacturers. In addition, there are currently no leaks or noise from a hallway concerning a more affordable version of the Samsung Galaxy S22. We’re never immune to surprises, but it’s best not to get too carried away.

While this is an ideal option for those who tend to store a lot of files, micro SD card slots are not always available on a smartphone. Although no information is yet available on this subject for the S22, it should be remembered that Samsung skipped the micro SD ports last year with its Galaxy S21. It could therefore well be that the firm applies the same strategy, and that the storage spaces offered are fixed for the S22.
