The Galaxy S22 series will become official in a few weeks, with Samsung planning to launch the series on February 9. The Galaxy S22 series is rumoured to have three varieties, and we already know a lot about the phones thanks to many leaks over the last few months.
The series is planned to include a Galaxy S22, a Galaxy S22 Plus, and what is currently known as the Galaxy S22 Note (instead of the Galaxy S22 Ultra). Here’s what we know about the three phones.
