Last week, Samsungannouncedits February Galaxy Unpacked event, possibly to unveil the much-rumoredGalaxy S22 seriesandGalaxy Tab S8 series. Although the South Korean tech giant didn’t confirm the exact launch timeline, new leaks have popped up online hinting at February 9 as the event date.
Galaxy S22 Series Expected on February 9
Samsung is likely to unveil the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra at the Unpacked event. The highlight of the event would be the transition from the Galaxy Note series to the Galaxy S series. For the uninitiated, theGalaxy S22 Ultra is likely to feature a built-in S Pen slot. Moreover, we can expect a similar design as its predecessors on the standard and Plus models, whereas theUltra variant is going to be chunkier(to imbibe the Note design) and include a new camera array design.
If tablets are what you’re after, there’s theGalaxy Tab S8 seriesto look forward to. As always, there will be three tablets in the lineup — Tab S8, Tab S8+, and Tab S8 Ultra. Going by previous leaks, all three tablets are likely to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC. As for the smartphones, while it was initially rumored that Samsungmay finally offer Snapdragon chipsets on all modelsacross all regions globally, it will likely not be the case. The Galaxy S22 series will come with therecently announced Exynos 2200chipset with the AMD Xclipse GPU in tow.
Since the alleged Galaxy S22 launch is merely a couple of weeks from now, we can expect Samsung to confirm the date in the coming days. Considering multiple corroborations from leakers, it’s safe to assume that Samsung will indeed unveil its new Galaxy devices in the second week of February.
