Samsung premium tablets are also set to arrive at the beginning of 2022, dovetailing the Galaxy S22 series. While the trio are a few months away, their memory configurations and colour options have already leaked.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - or, as the latest rumors have it, S22 Note - is believed to launch with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in some markets. A new Geekbench 5 listing is thought to correspond with this device, although some of its details contradict earlier spec-related leaks.

Samsung's next top-end phone is projected to be called the Galaxy S22 Ultra, despite its rumored acquisition of an integrated S Pen. However, the latest word from a prolific leaker is that the South Korean giant intends to drop the flagship branding of this year for one that more accurately reflects the apparent merging of its premium smartphone and phablet lines.

A renowned leaker has revealed specifications and official marketing images of the Galaxy Tab A8 2021, one of Samsung's next budget tablets. The same leaker has also detailed the tablet's minimum and maximum prices in Europe.

According to reports, Samsung has suspended the One UI 4 rollout for the Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3. Multiple handsets have experienced issues ranging from getting stuck in recovery mode to being unable to use anything other than their 60 Hz refresh rates.

According to a new report coming from The Elec, Samsung Mobile's senior executives met with executives from 30 major component suppliers in early November to devise a new strategy in order to secure enough chips for 2022. Chip supplies are expected to remain tight up until the second half of 2022.

A new leak has revealed the Galaxy S21 FE's inaugural firmware in Europe. The firmware confirms that the Fan Edition smartphone will launch with Android 12 and One UI 4, recently released to the Galaxy Z Flip3 and Galaxy Fold3.

Samsung has started rolling out One UI 4 to the Galaxy Z Fold3. Currently, the update is available in South Korea, its first port of call for Samsung's premier foldable smartphone.

Samsung has started issuing Android 12 and One UI 4 to the Galaxy Z Flip3. The foldable handset will receive the OS upgrade as F711BXXU2BUKM with the December 2021 security patch.

Marketing renders of the Galaxy Tab S8, Tab S8 Plus and Tab S8 Ultra have leaked, courtesy of the omnipotent Evan Blass. The trio should launch simultaneously, but with different designs.

The Galaxy A73 has leaked, courtesy of @OnLeaks. According to the leaker, the Galaxy A73 will be smaller than its predecessor and about the same size as the Galaxy A71. However, the Galaxy A73 will share the Galaxy A72's design, albeit without a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

According to reports, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S21 FE in multiple memory configurations. Incidentally, European pricing has leaked, confirming that the Galaxy S21 FE will be more expensive than the Galaxy S20 FE. The most expensive model could be cheaper than its predecessor, though.

According to reports, Samsung is set to debut the ISOCELL GN5 in the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. The pair will also receive an upgraded telephoto camera compared to the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus, but it is not camera upgrades all round for Samsung's next flagship smartphones.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S22 series of Android flagships in 2022. Their latest alleged leak suggests that the upcoming smartphones could practically use tempered-glass rear camera-hump protectors made for their predecessors - except for the top-end variant, of course. The S22 Ultra's putative camera cut-out matches those of some previous tips, thereby again hinting at a significant re-design.

Another report concerning the Samsung Galaxy Note series has seemingly confirmed the placement of another nail in the product line’s coffin. While there has been some toing and froing in regard to the production of a Galaxy Note 22, it now appears that Samsung has decided the Galaxy S series and Z foldables make up the company’s smartphone future.

Samsung is rumored to launch early-2022 flagship smartphones with very different displays compared to those of the S21 series. Now, new alleged hands-on images of accessories intended for each variant of the new line may serve to confirm some of these rumors, the altered shape of the S22 Ultra included.

Samsung has introduced the Galaxy A03, a new budget smartphone that succeeds the Galaxy A02. The Galaxy A03 has an octa-core SoC, a 6.5-inch display and a 48 MP primary camera. The Galaxy A03 will be available in three colours and three memory options.

The Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Flip3 are both available for under US$900 currently, with the Galaxy Z Flip3 having been reduced to US$849.99. The pair can be purchased at these prices in multiple colours.

Amazon US and Samsung US are offering significant amounts off the Galaxy Z Fold3 during Black Friday. Both retailers include a pair of Galaxy Buds2 in their deals too, which normally retail for US$119.99.

A well-known leaker has cleared up what camera sensors Samsung will include in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. For some reason, Samsung only seeks to equip the Galaxy S21 Ultra successor with new telephoto cameras; the 108 MP and 12 MP ultra-wide-angle cameras from this year's model will remain.

Samsung has released a new photo app for the Galaxy S21 Ultra in its home market called Expert RAW. The new app allows users to manually control the camera settings of the device across the primary lens, ultra-wide, 3x telephoto and 10x telephoto.

According a leaked roadmap, Samsung hopes to shift upwards of 33.6 million tablets next year, along with 19 million smartwatches. The roadmap indicates that Samsung is confident of selling plenty of Buds Live2 and Buds Pro2 earbuds, too.

The Galaxy S21 series of smartphones are the first few Android devices to update to One UI 4, which is based on Android 12. Despite the shiny nature of this software upgrade, an increasing number of users have reported that their high-end displays have become much less stable after the OTA. This is due to a specific bug that will, according to Samsung, be addressed soon.

According to reports, Samsung has settled on when it will announce the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, one of three Galaxy Tab S8 series tablets. However, the large tablet could be hard to come by when it arrives because of the low yields of its 14.6-inch display.

The upcoming Galaxy S21 FE has leaked, this time in several hands-on photos. The fan edition smartphone has a plastic back and should launch with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage.

A high profile leaker claims with '100% certainty' that the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has a notch, as per leaked renders. Supposedly, the notch will include two cameras that can shoot ultra-wide videos and in 4K at 60 FPS.

According to reports, Samsung is already prototyping the Galaxy Z Fold4 and Galaxy Z Flip4, its next-generation foldable smartphones. Big changes could be afoot for both devices, such as a built-in S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold and an under-panel camera in next year's Galaxy Z Flip.

Samsung has outlined which devices it plans to upgrade to One UI 4 and Android 12 in India. The upgrade plan runs from November 2021 to August 2022 and includes 45 devices. Only the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, Galaxy S21 Ultra, Z Flip3 and Galaxy Z Fold3 will see the OS upgrade before the start of 2022, though.

Samsung's next flagship tablet has appeared on Geekbench as the SM-X906N. The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC and 8 GB of RAM, along with a rumoured 14.6-inch AMOLED display running at 120 Hz.

A new leak has now revealed the purported pricing of Samsung's upcoming premium phone, the Galaxy S21 FE. As it appears, the Galaxy phone could be a bit more expensive than its closest rival, the vanilla Google Pixel 6, when equipped with the same memory and storage configuration.

Samsung has not forgotten the Galaxy Watch Active 2 or Galaxy Watch 3, its last smartwatches to launch with Tizen OS. While it has replaced the pair with the Galaxy Watch 4 series, Samsung has issued significant updates to both that introduce new health features and watch faces. The updates have even made their way to the older Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Watch Active, too.

It seems that only the Galaxy S21 series will move onto One UI 4 and Android 12 this month. For some reason, Samsung will wait until December before upgrading the Galaxy Z series, along with the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series. Some Samsung devices must wait until July 2022 for their One UI 4 and Android 12 updates, though.

Samsung has started rolling out One UI 4 to the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra globally. The OS update, based on Android 12, will eventually be available on older Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series handsets, before making its way to the Galaxy A and Galaxy Tab S series.

Samsung's Galaxy Buds Pro and Galaxy Buds 2 may be some of the best TWS earbuds on the market but they both appear to pose health hazards. A new report, along with a host of similar complaints, indicates that Samsung's recent audio accessories could be causing ear complications.

The Galaxy S21 FE may not be due for another two months, but almost all its English marketing assets have leaked. Samsung will launch the Fan Edition in a minimum of four colours, and with the Exynos 2100 or Snapdragon 888, depending on where you live.

Samsung’s Exynos 2200 will still make an appearance in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 series, despite rumors to the contrary. A tipster with a reliable track record says that the E2200 will be headed to Galaxy S22 models in Europe and Russia, while the Snapdragon 898 will be fitted to Galaxy S22 models in all other markets.

A new Geekbench listing has showcased the Galaxy S22 Plus with a Snapdragon 898. The listing confirms that Qualcomm's next high-end SoC will be making its way to the US in Samsung's mid-tier flagship smartphone.

Rumour has it that Samsung will increase the price of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra relative to their Galaxy S21 series predecessors. The Galaxy S22 Ultra could come in at US$1,299, albeit with at least 256 GB of storage.

The Galaxy S21 FE will launch next year with both Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 chipsets. An example of the former has appeared on Geekbench again, along with 8 GB of RAM and Android 12.

You can now install One UI 4 on the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. However, you must have bought your device in the UK to be eligible to receive beta builds. Likewise, One UI 4 is also available on the Galaxy S20 series in the US.

The Samsung Exynos 2200 GPU has allegedly been put through an official benchmark and offered up results that are either amazing or disappointing depending on if your glass is half empty or half full. While the Exynos 2200 GPU seems to offer very respectable gains over the Exynos 2100 GPU, it’s the Apple A15 Bionic and Snapdragon 898 that will be its true competitors.

According to Samsung, 'everything changes' on November 19. With a nod to gaming and its Exynos chipsets, it would seem that Samsung is preparing to announce new SoCs next week. The reality could be somewhat more banal though, unfortunately.

Samsung has announced another special edition of the Galaxy Watch 4. The new model is the second golf-focussed version that Samsung has unveiled, this time in partnership with Parsons Xtreme Golf. The Galaxy Watch 4 PXG Edition comes pre-installed with 40,000 golf courses and several PXG-exclusive accessories.

Ex-Samsung employee turned insider Super Roader alleged that Samsung may be ditching the Exynos 2200 in favor of the Snapdragon 898. Until now, Samsung has shipped its flagship phones with Exynos chips in all markets except the US and some other countries where it uses Snapdragon SoCs. Reportedly, the ongoing chip shortage is making it hard for Samsung to procure enough Exynos chips for the upcoming Galaxy S22 phones.

Samsung is bringing the Snapdragon 898 to more tablets than the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. The Galaxy Tab S8 Plus will launch with Qualcomm's next-generation chipset too, along with at least 8 GB of RAM.

Reportedly, Samsung has set the date of its Galaxy Unpacked event for the Galaxy S21 FE. The device will debut five weeks before the Galaxy S22 series, albeit with last-generation hardware.

It seems either a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Lite or Galaxy Tab S8 FE is in the works. Evidence has been discovered that points to such a development, meaning the Galaxy Tab S8 series would feature four SKUs. A Tab S8 Lite or Tab S8 FE would be aimed at consumers who want to try out a member of the premium series without taking such a big hit to the bank balance.

According to a renowned leaker, Samsung has set the pre-order and launch dates of the Galaxy S22 series. If correct, then an early February announcement for the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra seems likely.

Hands-on photos of Samsung's next premier smartphone have leaked, confirming that the Galaxy Note series is returning under a different name. Accordingly, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a built-in S Pen, flat edges and a curved display.

Samsung will introduce three new tablets in a few months, with the company expected to reveal the Galaxy Tab S8, the Galaxy Tab S8+ and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. Apparently, the two top models will feature OLED displays, and they will enter mass production at the end of January 2022.
