Samsung has issued a fresh update for Expert RAW, its optional camera app for many of its recent flagship smartphones. Available once a device has been upgraded to Android 13 and One UI 5, the update promises to open new options for those fans of taking night shots.
Google has promised battery life improvements with the Pixel 7 and the Pixel 7 Pro compared to the Pixel 6 series. However, a new report from XDA Developers claims that the Pixel 7 Pro’s display uses much more power than other flagship phones, resulting in elevated battery drain at increased brightness levels.
It seems that Samsung is shaking up the design of its flagship smartphone series. According to the renowned OnLeaks, the Galaxy S23 Plus has taken a leaf out of the Galaxy S22 Ultra's book. Not only has the leaker shared high-resolution renders, but he has also shared a 360-degree video of next year's flagship smartphone.
Cameras are undoubtedly the major selling points of Samsung's new Galaxy S22 lineup, and the phones look to be making good on that promise. The trio debut with a mix of new and familiar camera hardware, which have now been detailed entirely.
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 had planned to launch the Exynos 2200 this week, but there is no trace so far. Reportedly, the company has confirmed that all is well with its next flagship chipset, presumably after rumours of its postponement emerged. Apparently, there are no problems with the production and performance of the Exynos 2200; it will launch alongside the Galaxy S22 series instead.
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.
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.
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.
Samsung has just announced the Exynos 2200, a 4 nm SoC with an RDNA 2-based GPU. While there were rumours of Samsung using the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the European versions of the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra, multiple retailers have confirmed that the trio will arrive with the Exynos 2200 instead.
The Galaxy S22 series is expected to debut in a few weeks and a new leak has now provided the first look yet at pricing for the trio of flagship phones in the US. Prices see a US$100 jump versus the Galaxy S21 series across the board, sadly.
According to the South Korean website DDaily Korea, an official Samsung representative confirmed three dates relating to the release of the Galaxy S22 series. Not only has the representative informed the website of the date of next month's Galaxy Unpacked event, but also when pre-orders will start and when the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra will start shipping.
Reportedly, Samsung has delayed the Galaxy Unpacked and launch dates for the Galaxy S22 series. A separate leak has revealed a Galaxy S22 series marketing poster that seemingly debunked the idea that Samsung will release its premier smartphone as the Galaxy S22 Note.
According to a UK retailer, Samsung is preparing to release over 70 accessories for the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and the Galaxy S22 Note. A deep green colourway should be heading to the Galaxy S22 Note too, based on an official S Pen render image.
According to a report, the Galaxy S22 Ultra may be the only device in the Galaxy S22 series to receive an Under Panel Camera and the Exynos 2200 in some markets. By contrast, punch-hole displays and the Snapdragon 898 will be headed to the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus.
New certifications have provided some concrete details about two of Samsung's future flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S22+ and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. For some reason, the company has decided against increasing the battery capacity of the Galaxy S22 series relative to the Galaxy S21 series. Worse still, battery capacity has even gone the other way with one device.
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.
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.
Samsung's alleged Galaxy S22 Ultra is thought to get a major overhaul in terms of its looks in early 2022. Now, the latest word on its possible vanilla and Plus counterparts corroborate others that suggest they will get considerably less of the same treatment. The phones' latest renders hint at how that may work out in real life.
According to reports, Samsung has started mass producing the Galaxy S22 series. Theoretically, this puts the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra on track for a January or February 2022 release.
The Galaxy S22 Plus has leaked again, this time courtesy of @xleaks7 and Pigtou. The pair have published images of a dummy unit, supposedly based on CAD renders that they obtained. The Galaxy S22 Plus is expected to launch early next year alongside the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Ultra.
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.
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.
Samsung is gearing to release Snapdragon-powered editions of the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus in China and the US. The pair, along with the Galaxy S22 Note, have also appeared in more hands-on photos. All photos appear to be of dummy units.
Reportedly, official Galaxy S22 series wallpapers have already emerged online. Supposedly, the wallpapers reveal the aspect ratios and the display resolutions of all models, including the Galaxy S22 Note.
