50 MP GN5 camera tipped for the Galaxy S22 and S22+ as the Galaxy S22 Ultra gears up for 45 W charging

The GN5 itself, although new, isn't exactly a top-spec sensor. It's a 1/1.5-inch sensor intended to compete against Sony's IMX766, a mid-range sensor that has been used on phones like the OnePlus Nord 2. As such, this is a bit disappointing. The GN1—to be used on the Google Pixel 6 series—and the GN2 on the Mi 11 Ultra are both bigger and more powerful than the GN5. Of course, implementation is also important and we expect performance that trumps that of the 12 MP IMX555 used on previous Galaxy S flagship phones. 

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is also tipped to see a return to 45 W fast charging. Samsung introduced that on the Galaxy Note 10+ but removed the feature on the Note 20 Ultra a year later. The S22 Ultra will bring it back apparently, and should offer charging speeds on par with the competition.
