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

While you might be tempted to buy a Galaxy S21, Galaxy Note 20, or another smartphone right now, some of you might want to hang around and wait for the rumored Samsung Galaxy S22.

The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and Galaxy S21 Ultra are Samsung’s current flagships and they’re worth a look if you’re in the market for a new device.

You’ll also want to investigate top Galaxy S21 alternatives like the Galaxy Note 20 series and Google’s Pixel devices. And if you’re fine with moving away from Android, make sure you check out Apple’s iPhone 13 series, iPhone 12 series and iPhone 11 series.

While there are some tempting phones on shelves right now, we’re hearing more about the devices coming to replace these devices in 2022 and beyond.

We’ve heard quite a bit about Apple’s iPhone 14 series and iPhone SE 3 and we’re starting to learn a lot more about Samsung’s rumored Galaxy S22 series.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Rumors

Samsung’s new Galaxy S22 series might be called Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra and carry the following model numbers: SM-S901x, SM-S906x, and SM-S908x. Their names are evidently tentative and we’ve heard the Galaxy S22 Ultra could be called something quite different.

According to leaker FrontTron, the Galaxy S22 Ultra might be called Galaxy S22 Note. This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard Samsung might use the Note name with the Galaxy S22 series. And given what we’ve heard about the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s specs, it wouldn’t be out of left field.

We’ve learned quite a bit about the Galaxy S22 display sizes, two of which will reportedly be smaller than their predecessors. We’ve learned about potential upgrades to the cameras. And we’ve heard about new colors. Here’s what we’ve heard about the Galaxy S22 colors thus far:

• Galaxy S22 – Beige, Black, Green, Grey, Light Blue, Rose Gold, White
• Galaxy S22+ – Beige, Black, Green, Grey, Light Blue, Rose Gold, White, Violet
• Galaxy S22 Ultra – Black, Dark Red, Green, White

Many of these colors have been backed by a leaker on Twitter who says these details have been confirmed by a retailer planning to sell the Galaxy S22 series. You can take a look at what some of these colors will look like in these leaked photos.

The same leaker says the Galaxy S22 storage options will be as follows:

• Galaxy S22 – 128GB/256GB
• Galaxy S22+ – 128GB/256GB
• Galaxy S22 Ultra – 128GB/256GB/512GB

Rumors are also hinting at another version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra: a 1TB model. The last time Samsung released a flagship device with 1TB of storage was back in 2019.

We’ve also heard that Samsung will aggressively price the base Galaxy S22 model. The Galaxy S22 will reportedly start at $799.99 which is the same price as the Galaxy S21. You can expect aggressive trade-in offers as well.

Samsung is also working on dozens of Galaxy S22 accessories that will accompany these devices to shelves. Tons of cases and covers have leaked.

The Galaxy S22 release date is still a few weeks away and a lot of you may not want to wait to upgrade your phone. That said, the Galaxy S22 should definitely be on your radar if you’re planning to make a switch in 2022.

In this guide we’ll take you through the best reasons to wait for the Samsung Galaxy S22 and the best reasons to go with another device before the announcements.
