Galaxy S

The Galaxy S22 series headlined yesterday with the S22 and S22+ sporting impressive-sounding 50 MP cameras. The Galaxy S22 Ultra still offers the most powerful cameras of the lot, though, and the first post-launch camera samples of the Ultra and vanilla model have now surfaced.

Thanks to free storage upgrades and gift cards for unlocked Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra preorders on Amazon and Best Buy, prospective buyers of Samsung's latest and greatest flagship smartphones can already save some serious money.

All three new Galaxy S22 variants have just launched with displays made of first-party Dynamic AMOLED 2X, have 120Hz refresh rates and are protected with the latest Gorilla Glass Victus+. However, the Ultra version is the only one with an Adaptive Refresh mode that can go down to 1Hz rather than 10Hz. It also contains some other upgrades that has its maker calling it "our most advanced display yet".

Samsung is selling the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra in multiple colours that you cannot get elsewhere. The online exclusives are available in nearly two dozen countries, including Australia, the UK, the US and numerous EU member states.

Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy S22 series, thereby also confirming details such as the 3 flagship variants' new camera hardware, fresh 50MP or 108MP main sensors included. They are backed up with some new features for their native app, Nightography, Adaptive Pixel and the S22 Ultra's new hybrid stabilization system included.

Reportedly, prototypes of this year's foldables are apparently already in Samsung's headquarters, including what will become the Galaxy Z Fold4. According to two leakers who claim to have insider information on the upcoming handset, the Galaxy Z Fold4 could launch with a new display format and a superior under-display camera compared to the Galaxy Z Fold3.

Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S22 Ultra, a successor to both the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Available in seven colours, the Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with up to 1 TB of storage, flagship cameras and a 5,000 mAh battery, among other features.

The Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra are finally officially out there, as is the fact they run on new, "fastest ever" 4 nanometer (nm) processors. The promise of the power involved in this upgrade also implies scope for a lot of heat. Accordingly, the OEM asserts that it has re-designed its mobile thermal management system specially for its new flagships.

Samsung has launched the Galaxy S22+, one of its three new flagship smartphones. The Galaxy S22+ starts at €1,049 and offers a few advantages over the Galaxy S22, including a brighter display. The Galaxy S22+ shares its cameras with its smaller sibling though, including its 3x 'Hybrid Optical Zoom' camera.

Samsung has revealed the Galaxy S22, a 6.1-inch handset that offers flagship hardware in a compact package. The Galaxy S22 measures 70 x 146 x 7.6 mm, weighs 167 g and starts at €849 with 128 GB of storage. Samsung will sell the Galaxy S22 in eight colours, too.

Google may not have brought Wear OS 3 out of beta yet, but Samsung has implied that the OS may be a few months away from release. While the OS was already expected to feature a next-generation Google Assistant, it seems that Wear OS 3 will support streaming music in the YouTube Music app via Wi-Fi and LTE. The Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic will benefit from both features, too.

The Galaxy S22 series is finally set for launch. However, it now seems that the ZTE Nubia Z40 Pro can hope to keep itself in mind for some tech fans even during this event, as the 2 types of flagship will run on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC in some cases. It is said to have posted Geekbench results comparable with those of the upcoming Samsung phones.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra arrives on February 9, Samsung's next premier tablet. Plenty is already known about the 14.6-inch tablet ahead of tomorrow's Galaxy Unpacked event, including that it will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. However, a hands-on video has already leaked, showcasing its potential as a laptop or Surface Pro 8 replacement.

Samsung has unveiled ten new watch bands for the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Watch4 Classic. While the bands will not be available until the end of the month, a significant software update for the pair will arrive tomorrow.

Samsung has published several camera shots from the Winter Olympics, capturing 'the excitement of an epic night of celebration #withGalaxy'. Rumour has it that the photos were taken using a Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung's next premier flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra will launch on February 9 at Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event.

Ahead of Unpacked, Samsung's press release for the Galaxy Tab S8 series has leaked, revealing the company's plans to deliver four major OS updates to its current flagship phones, with five years of support in total. The Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 will, for example, receive Android 15.

The Galaxy S22 series will make its debut on February 9. Ahead of launch, however, a new report brings information that will gladden the hearts of expectant Indian fans. Supposedly, the trio of flagships will ditch the Exynos 2200 in favor of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 when they come to India.`

Samsung's super-sized tablet is just two days away from being unveiled, but a hands-on image has already surfaced online. While the tablet has a 14.6-inch display, its notch remains recognisable. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra appears to have thicker bezels than marketing materials suggest, too.

While Samsung has showcased elaborate Tiger-themed billboards for its next Galaxy Unpacked event, several promotional teasers have accidentally gone live in the US. Not only has AT&T kitted out a store with Galaxy S22 promotional materials, but Samsung US has also started running Facebook adverts for the upcoming smartphones.

The Samsung event slated to unveil the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22 Ultra may finally be upon us. However, the rumored designs for all 3 has been revealed in advance of this Unpacked stream - again. This possibly last-minute tip comes in the form of a new 360-degree video that purports to show all 3 phones from all angles this time.

Samsung typically launches the Galaxy A5x and A7x phones at the same date but that may change this year, as a new leak claims the Galaxy A73 has now been delayed and will debut after the Galaxy A53.

Samsung's upcoming flagship, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, will be a powerhouse of a phone. The physical package is unlikely to thrill, though, as a leaked image of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's box contents reveals sparse contents.

Reportedly, Samsung plans to release a 1 TB version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, its next premier flagship smartphone. However, the high capacity edition is not expected to launch in all markets, just as the Exynos 2200 may be limited to a few countries.

The Galaxy S21 FE may only be a month old, but the handset can already be purchased at up to a 14% discount. Currently, Samsung's most recent flagship smartphone starts at US$599.99 with 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and a Snapdragon 888 SoC.

Reportedly, Samsung may tweak the design of its Ultra smartphone next year with the Galaxy S23 Ultra. According to Ice Universe, Samsung Display could mass-produce quad-curved displays, which are yet to take off properly. The switch to quad-curved displays would give the Galaxy S23 Ultra a different look compared to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which relies on a dual-curved solution.

A leaker has shared more than 100 pictures showcasing official Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra cases. The trio should launch with plenty of case accessories to choose from, including several with built-in stands.

Another extensive leak of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 series has landed, showcasing the three tablets once again. The latest leak, provided by Evan Blass, confirms what accessories Samsung will include with the trio, along with their dimensions, weight and battery capacities.

New Geekbench records for the Exynos 2200 variant of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have shown what the chip can do when its firing on all cylinders. Previous records had the Cortex-X2 core not pulling its weight, leaving a sizeable distance between the Samsung SoC and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in single-core compute performance.

Evan Blass has leaked 'Key Features' of both the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+, two of Samsung's next flagship smartphones. Both will arrive in multiple markets on February 9 alongside the Galaxy S22 Ultra, plus the Galaxy Tab S8 series.

We are only a week away from Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company is tipped to announce the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8+ and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, among other devices. In the meantime, two leakers have revealed prices, memory configurations and connectivity options for the trio, as have full specification sheets. One of the leakers has also offered a look at the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra in its Book Cover Keyboard case.

A retailer has leaked official cases for the upcoming Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. A leaker has provided a look at other official cases too, including Samsung's novel Silicone Cover with Strap case. All cases should arrive alongside the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and the Galaxy S22 Ultra on February 9.

An extensive leak has revealed more details about the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung's next premier flagship smartphone. While the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a lot going for it, including a 1,750-nit and HDR10+ certified display, Samsung will not include a charger in its box. Instead, the company will only bundle an S Pen, a USB cable and a SIM tool.

Reputedly, Samsung has postponed the date when it will begin shipping Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ handsets. While the Galaxy S22 Ultra remains on track for late February, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ have slipped to almost the middle of March.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 flagship smartphone series is tipped to arrive with updated rear cameras, the output of which is projected to improve in turn thanks to the OEM's latest AI trickery. Now, a supposedly official slide that outlines how the new setting leads to photos that are more "real" than ever before has leaked out.

The Exynos 2200 made its debut nigh-on two weeks ago. Samsung has failed to provide any performance data on the chipset, however, instead choosing to focus on vague features and properties. While it's hardly earth-shattering, most would consider that a red flag.

Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event has leaked, with yet more details revealed about the Galaxy Tab S8, Galaxy Tab S8 Plus and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The trio will arrive on February 9 alongside the Galaxy S22 series, consisting of three devices. Only the Galaxy Tab S8+ and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will receive S Pen latency improvements, though.

Leaked marketing material for the Samsung Galaxy S22 series has now confirmed regional availability for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200. Rumors claiming widespread Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 adoption look to have been off the mark, sadly.

According to reports, Samsung is to simplify how it distributes software updates. Starting in Europe, the company will release a single update across the region for a given device, rather than one per country. The simplification should also accelerate Android update rollouts, such as One UI 4.0.

Information on pricing of the Galaxy S22 series has leaned hard one way so far: that the phones will all launch with a US$100 premium over their predecessors. One particular leaker is sticking to their guns, though, and claims that the Galaxy S22 series will debut with the same prices as the Galaxy S21 lineup.

Samsung may not be launching the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ or the Galaxy S22 Ultra until February 9, but full specifications for all devices have already leaked. Likewise, numerous marketing product images have emerged, confirming that the trio will launch in Phantom Black, Green, Pink Gold and White.

There will be no price cut for the upcoming Galaxy S22 series in the US. On the contrary, the Galaxy S2, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra will all cost more than their predecessors, the opposite of Samsung's pricing strategy in Europe. The Galaxy S22 Ultra will start with 8 GB of RAM too, a 4 GB downgrade on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

Evan Blass has revealed more promotional materials for the Galaxy Tab S8 series and next month's Galaxy Unpacked event. Scheduled for February 9, the event will reveal 'The Epic Standard', likely just the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series.

The MediaTek Dimensity 9000 appears to be a superior chipset to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Word on the grapevine leans towards Samsung wanting a piece of that pie as well, with the Korean company potentially geared to equip a non-flagship model with the MediaTek chipset.

A set of premium phones including the Galaxy S21 Ultra, Xiaomi 12 Pro, OnePlus 10 Pro, and iPhone 13 series have now been put through a battery drain test. The iPhone 13 tops the chart as is typical, but the OnePlus 10 Pro surprisingly comes in second, with 2020's Mate 40 Pro following closely.

Samsung has already announced a Galaxy Unpacked event for February, titled UNPACKED 2022. While the company has kept quiet on when the event will occur, its dedicated website has revealed the event's date and start time. Next month's Galaxy Unpacked event will showcase the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8 series; availability for the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra has leaked too.

Rumour has it that Samsung has finalised prices for the Galaxy S22 series in Europe. While the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ will be as expensive as their predecessors, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will start at €50 cheaper than the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Only Samsung's premier smartphone will launch with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, in Europe at least.

New synthetic benchmarks for the Exynos 2200 and its graphics component, the Xclipse 920, have shown the AMD/Samsung collaboration in a new and bright light. OpenCL and Vulkan results for the international variant of the Galaxy S22 Ultra are far ahead of recent scores made by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the upcoming OnePlus 10 Pro.

The alleged full specifications for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra have been shared online. The details reveal how the South Korean OEM has taken the best parts of its Galaxy S and Galaxy Note lines and combined them. However, there is no mention of the rumored 1 TB variant of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which may launch at a later date.

Reportedly, only one region will receive the Galaxy S22 series exclusively with the Exynos 2200. While North America will continue to have access to Snapdragon versions of Samsung Galaxy S flagships, Europe will be saddled with Exynos variants of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Other regional variations have been revealed too, including those for Africa and Southeast Asia.

The Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra are almost here, with Samsung having scheduled its next Galaxy Unpacked event for February. However, reservations for the trio begin today, and Samsung is offering a tidy incentive for anyone that decides to do so.
