Looks like a bit pricier than the S21 series. Now the presence of the S21 FE this late made sense.

Pricing leak.

The FE is excellent phone for the light or average users or a good spare phone if you have top end flagship. Sometimes there are places you don't want to take your daily driver phone with you so the spare phone can be handy.
As for the S22 Ultra i think the 12/256 will be the best seller.
The only weakness of this phone is its curved screen otherwise its the dream phone i was dreaming to own few years ago.
I hate curved screens but the leaked s22 Ultras are beautiful. I’m still not sure whether I’ll get the s22 Ultra or the s22 though. My Pixel 6 Pro is already my big phone. I got an iPad Mini 6 for Christmas. iPhone 11 is my main phone. Sometimes I’ve wanted another small phone with a more robust camera offering. I’m not sure what I’ll get but I did sign up for the reserve to get the $50 off.
Think I'm settled on the 512GB model
My fold 3 512GB is using 190GB so same storage option makes the most sense

I wonder if it will come with more Ram, like with the S21 Ultra? Either way I’m ready for the S22 Ultra/Note 22. It feels like this device is what I’ve been wanting for a while now.
Agreed pleased built in s pen is back
I guessing 512GB will come with 16GB. 12GB is enough though
It’s ridiculous how much RAM is packed into these Android phones… Windows ships a recent Microsoft Surface Go 2 that only goes up to 8GB of RAM? And we are getting phones that come with 16GB of RAM, but I agree 12 GB is more than enough.
I’m just hoping One UI 4.1 that ships with S22 has some new DeX goodies.
Because RAM is actually quite cheap, to the point that the Chinese are putting 6 to 8GB RAM even on their mid-low end phone, and it's an easy way to market and put higher price on models with more RAM on the spec sheet (look, more RAM, must be better). With consumers having bad aftertaste from older Androids with 1-2GB of RAM, it's an easy sell.
Right now, the sweet spot for Android seems to be 6GB. Many skins like Xiaomi's MiUI is not even utilizing more RAM that well.
It looks like it’s official, the invites have gone out (see the front page of this site) the event will take place on February 9th at 3pm U.K. time 😃
It looks like the products that will be announced are the S22 lineup and the new Samsung tablets, No mention of new earbuds. If that’s the case, I wonder what the pre-order bonus will be this time around? Personally I would be happy with Samsung giving more trade in value for my S21 Ultra.
I also get perks from work discount, it will be interesting to see how much the discount will be for that, especially with trading in my S21 Ultra.

I hope we get buds pro as free gift as I sold my buds live not long ago.
Annoying I’m at work so will have to follow it via Twitter for it all but it’s not like there will be anything we don’t know. Hopefully the odd surprise would be nice
Do you think the Exynos chip will be much better this time? I remember trying the Note 20 Ultra, having to return it due to battery issues. I’m hoping they put the same battery life or better into the S22 Ultra.
Hopefully they give away the Buds Pro or even the Buds 2.
There are concerns on both Snapdragon and Exynos at this point. The SD8 gen 1 is throttling and overheating, while the Exynos 2200 is not performing as well. Some blamed it on Samsung manufacturing. I guess we'll see.
As long as the performance and battery life is as good as or better than the S21 Ultra, i will be happy. I love the design of the Note, with it's squared design, the curved screen and the built in s pen. I think a lot of Note users will be looking to update to the S22 Ultra.
The SD8gen1 is already out and used on the Xiaomi 12 Pro, and the throttling and overheating concerns are all over YouTube, showing that it is worse than the 888 in terms of throttling. Hopefully Samsung does a better job, but I’m not holding my breath. Most users probably won’t notice, but it’s just a reminder for enthusiasts using the phone for video recording or gaming.
I had the s21 ultra with exynos 2100 and it was good to be fair. Battery life was good and had no overheating. 2200 should be better no doubt. The SD gen 1 is rumoured to have had overheating issues so I think the differences in chips will be very much not that different.
agreed on exynos 990 battery life was bad and overall didn’t perform well.
So far I don’t have issues with my Exynos S21. But at the same time, I’m not a gamer nor content creator. The rumors of Exynos 2200 benchmark didn’t show good results.
Well, we’ll find out soon enough.
I like how you don't hesitate to pull the trigger good on you i like that. I am the type who would like to feel and see the phone physically before i decide. But this time i think its easy with the S22 Ultra.
Here is official trailer as per the poster....who's going for the Green?
I did a bit of reading and catching up on the rumors this morning. I don’t like how the battery has been cut down on the non ultra models. The concern isn’t enough to rule them out on that basis alone, though. It’s just something I was not too happy about, though I do appreciate that the smallest model is now even more compact. I just don’t like getting caught out with low battery warnings.
But mainly I loved the “inappropriately nosy neighbor zoom” on my S21 Ultra, so it would be hard to completely give that up. My Pixel 6 Pro has a very capable zoom, but the Ultra is king. And I have a major technocrush on the Note styling. To me, it’s gorgeous. If I’m going to give up one of the most gorgeous phones I’ve owned in trade, I want another gorgeous phone.
So I’m pretty settled now on the S22 Ultra. Next decision is which color. Probably burgundy if that’s a real color choice available in the US.
I’m definitely concerned about potential heat issues with the new processors. I hate dealing with overheating on my phones. It’s a major pet peeve of mine. But I can put up with it on a non-main phone for a year. My iPhone 11 has been rock solid for me, so I can afford to be more experimental and less picky with my Android phones.
Agggggggggghhhh kittttttttens! Cute cuddly kittens! And they’re actually not blurry. Every year I get my hopes up that photos of my cats taken with my Samsung phone won’t be blurry. Every year, I am disappointed. Don’t let me down this year Samsung!
Green is gorgeous. My husband has a darker version of that green on his Fold 3. But I’ve had a similar green for my 11 Pro. So I’m more drawn to burgundy this time.
It’s not just you. Sometimes I’ve also seen it look kind of light “eggplant”. It most definitely isn’t a true burgundy in most of the photos I’ve seen. But in person it may live up to the name “burgundy”.Is it me or is that more pink looking than burgundy
