On Wednesday, February 9, Samsung will hold its first “Unpacked” event of the year, and the South Korean company is expected to unveil new flagship smartphones that will compete with Apple’s iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models, which were released in September.
Samsung’s Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to include three devices in sizes comparable to the 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini, 6.1-inch iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max. Samsung is developing a 6.1-inch S22, a 6.5-inch S22 Plus, and a 6.8-inch S22 Ultra smartphone.
“Several leaks, rumors, and mockups have given us a glimpse of what we can expect from Samsung’s newest smartphones. The two smaller smartphones will have rounded corners and triple-lens cameras, while the high-end flagship will have a boxier design similar to the Galaxy Note, as well as a built-in S-Pen holder and a four-lens camera setup.” A statement read
The updates from Samsung are expected to be modest, but the two more affordable smartphones will include updated 50-megapixel main cameras as well as ultra wide and telephoto lenses. Apple is expected to include 48-megapixel cameras in the iPhone 14 Pro models, but as of now, Apple’s iPhone 13 camera lenses are 12 megapixels.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra may feature a 108-megapixel main camera with a Super Clear lens for reduced glare and reflections, as well as an ultra wide lens, a telephoto lens, and a periscope lens for zoomed-in shots. Apple is working on periscope lens technology, but rumors suggest that it won’t be available on the iPhone until 2023.
Hole-punch camera designs, as well as new body colors and performance enhancements, are expected for the S22 lineup’s front display.
