Samsung is preparing to launch its newest line of flagship phones, the Galaxy S22 series. After several features and specifications were discovered through leaks, now it's the turn of the launch date.
According to South Korean media Digital Daily, Samsung will hold the Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event on February 8 online. At the first Galaxy Unpacked event this year, they will announce the Galaxy S22 series.
"We have confirmed that the event will be held on February 8 and we discussed the schedule for distributing invitations at the end of January," Samsung officials told Digital Daily, as quoted from Engadget, Tuesday (11/1/2022).
In addition, the Digital Daily report also reveals that pre-orders for the Galaxy S22 series will also begin the day after its announcement on February 9 and sales will begin on February 24.
This launch and sale schedule hasn't been confirmed directly by Samsung, but they usually hold a Galaxy Unpacked event around the same time every year.
This date is also in line with what tipster Jon Prosser leaked a few months ago. At that time Prosser said Samsung would hold a Galaxy Unpacked event on February 8 to showcase the Galaxy S22 trio.
Samsung itself is likely to announce three new phones, namely the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. All three models will carry the Exynos 2200 chipset (and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in some countries).
In terms of design, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ will have the same form as their predecessors. Both will be equipped with a 50 MP main camera.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is predicted to be the spiritual successor of the Galaxy Note series by carrying the S Pen stylus that is integrated with the phone body. This top variant will also be equipped with a curved screen, a 5,000 mAh battery, and four rear cameras with a 108 MP main camera.
