The listings expectedly don’t reveal anything about the devices themselves apart from the model numbers. However, this does indicate that Samsung is hard at work on the Galaxy S22 series and is starting to prepare for its launch. The Chinese variant of the Galaxy S22 Ultra/Note (SM-S908U) also recently appeared on benchmarking platform Geekbench. The device expectedly features Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen1 processor. It scored 1,219 in single-core tests and 3,154 in multi-core tests on Geekvench v5. The Exynos 2200 powered Galaxy S22 Ultra/Note had scored much lower 691 in single-core tests, though multi-core scores are identical. However, since these tests aren’t performed on a retail unit, they may not reflect the true performance of the device that will reach users’ hands in a couple of months. Also, the latest listing shows the highest-end Galaxy S22 model with 8GB of RAM. But recent reports suggest that Samsung will only offer 12GB and 16GB RAM options for the phone. So we advise you to take this information with a grain of salt. We will keep you posted as and when more information emerges.
Leaks in the past have revealed a lot about the Galaxy S22 series
Samsung is still a good few weeks away from taking wraps off the Galaxy S22 series. We aren’t expecting the new flagships to break cover before February next year. But leaks galore over the past couple of months have left little to the imagination. We now have a fairly good idea of what to expect from the upcoming devices in terms of specifications, design, and even pricing. Samsung seemingly isn’t making many design changes with the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22+. They are keeping the Contour Cut rear camera design of the Galaxy S21 series. The Galaxy S22 Ultra/Note, meanwhile, will see major changes at the back, with Samsung opting for a raindrop rear camera array, reminiscent of the LG Velvet. The new Samsung flagships will, of course, bring plenty of upgrades over the 2021 models. But Samsung will reportedly keep the prices unchanged, at least for the base model. Meaning, the lowest-end Galaxy S22 phone will cost just $799. Hopefully, the Korean behemoth will price the Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra/Note similarly to their respective predecessors as well.
