The countdown has finally begun for the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup. Just over a week before its launch, we’re now getting some confirmation about the hardware of the lineup from an unlikely source. The Samsung Exynos 2200 has made it to the list of chipsets compatible with Netflix HD, thus confirming that it will break cover with the Galaxy S22.
Netflix routinely updates its list of chipsets compatible with Netflix HD, so this revelation isn’t shocking (via Android Police). Countless leaks have already told us that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S22 with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip in some markets. While a few other markets (like Europe) will receive the Exynos 2200 variant. We also have an official unveiling date for the smartphone, courtesy of Samsung.
Samsung is taking reservations for the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy Tab S8
The manufacturer is now taking reservations for the “next Galaxy smartphone” through its website. There’s also an option for the “next Galaxy tablet,” which refers to the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup. Customers who reserve either device also get a $50 Samsung Credit that can be spent on other Galaxy products during the pre-order period.
Samsung will most likely dominate the news cycle in February with its top-tier smartphone and tablet lineups. Meanwhile, the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) is scheduled to take place in Barcelona between February 28 – March 3. So the month of February could be pretty exciting for tech enthusiasts.
In case you’re unaware, Samsung will take the wraps off three new smartphones – the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra on February 9. Being the larger and more powerful of the three, the Galaxy S21 Ultra will undoubtedly grab most of the eyeballs. Additionally, the Ultra model is also expected to bring back the iconic S Pen stylus.
Initial leaks suggest the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. This is only marginally smaller than the 6.9-inch Galaxy Note 20.
There will also be a dedicated silo/holder for the S Pen stylus. Samsung will likely stick with the 5,000mAh battery for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 series will also debut Samsung One UI 4.1, which should bring incremental changes from One UI 4.
