5 Reasons to Wait for the Galaxy S22 & 3 Reasons Not To

Wait for Even Better Cameras

In addition to making yearly performance upgrades, Samsung also makes yearly upgrades to the Galaxy S series' camera. Don't expect that to change in 2022 though we may not see a huge gulf between the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S22. 

According to Galaxy Club, Samsung is working to install sensor-shift technology on the Galaxy S22. If this happens, the Galaxy S22 series would be the first Galaxy devices with this tech on board.

If the Galaxy S22 does possess this upgrade, you can expect the Galaxy S22 series to deliver better image stabilization and quality.

A newer report from Galaxy Club claims the Galaxy S22 Ultra will possess two telephoto sensors that will be "comparable on paper to those of the Galaxy S21 Ultra." The site also says the Galaxy S22 will come with a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

GalaxyClub says the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ will have a 10MP front-facing/selfie camera. As for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it will reportedly have a 40MP front-facing camera.

Leaker Ice Universe has leaked the Galaxy S22 Ultra's supposed camera setup and if this information is accurate, we may not see a huge improvement to the hardware. If that's the case, expect most of the improvements to come via the phone's software. 

Ice Universe also says it's almost "100% confirmed that Samsung S22 Ultra will not follow up with 200 million pixels and will polish the third-generation 108MP sensor."  He also says the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have an improved periscope camera with continuous zoom. Another source backs up this information. 

As for the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+, the publication claims they'll have a 50 megapixel main camera and a 12 MP wide-angle camera.

According to leaker FrontTron, the Galaxy S22 might come with a triple-camera setup. The device(s) will reportedly come with a 50MP camera sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.

You can get a potential look at the camera housing design for all three Galaxy S22 models in these images. If they're legit, the Galaxy S22 Ultra's cameras will slot in in a P-shaped design. 

One way or another, you can expect the Galaxy S22 to improve on the Galaxy S21's camera experience.
