The Galaxy S22 Ultra feels like the star attraction headed into Unpacked, and for good reason — it'south rumored to revive many of the features nosotros missed when Samsung went through 2021 without issuing a new Galaxy Note. Only don't sleep on Samsung's other rumored Ultra production, the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

This is, potentially, a 14.6-inch tablet with some serious power — enough maybe to even exist a viable alternative to the iPad Pro. Our colleague Marking Spoonauer certainly thinks so, and he never imagined himself getting excited about an Android tablet. Observe out the five means the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra could challenge Apple'southward tablet dominance, from the included S Pen to its rumored design.

Samsung certainly has a lot of ways to watch its Unpacked upshot — everything from TikTok to Amazon Live to Reddit volition exist hosting a feed. Just the almost intriguing mode might be virtual reality. Or every bit we're now ordered to phone call it past Mark Zuckerberg, the metaverse.

For a VR take on today's proceedings, head over to Samsung 837X. That's the immersive section of Samsung's flagship New York shop where yous tin can scout production reveals similar the ane today.

Likely the only products we're going to hear well-nigh today at Unpacked are the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy Tab S8. But this calendar week saw some stirrings virtually another potential product release.

A Milky way Tab S8 announcement printing release that fell into the hands of leakers contained an odd footnote about the tablet's reverse charging features. According to the footnote, you'll be able to charge the Galaxy Tab S8 at 15W speeds using select Galaxy phones. That'due south not the weird function, though. The foreign affair was that the press release specifically listed the Galaxy A53 equally ane of those phones — and that device hasn't been announced however.

That's caused some rumor sites to speculate that the Galaxy A53 could also appear today, though nosotros think that'south a fleck of a stretch. Samsung will likely want everyone talking nearly the Milky way S22 — non some midrange phone that's part of its Galaxy A series. Which is non to say that there's no such phone in the works — rumors are picking upward nigh the Milky way A53. But one of those rumors is that the phone volition arrive in March.

Yup, a month from now we could be doing this all over again.

Equally mentioned earlier, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is set to exist spearhead today's Unpacked event. But is information technology the big telephone for you? Where once the Galaxy Note was the only real contender for big Android phones, now larger handsets are pretty common.

So here are our early on thoughts on how the battle might play out between the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra vs Google Pixel 6 Pro. After all the Google Pixel vi Pro was the Android phone Roland Moore-Colyer was waiting for last yr, as it'due south a killer big phone; the Galaxy S22 Ultra will need to bring out the big guns.

A lot of Android updates might exist dull, offer small tweaks and security upgrades to phones, often downloading in the background. Only they are pretty much essential for keeping a smartphone running smoothly and secure.

So the rumor that Samsung could equip the Galaxy S22 range, equally well as the Galaxy S21 and other flagship grade devices with four years on Android updates is skillful news. It's as well potentially a large bargain, equally not many phone makers offering such extended back up. A long update program would aid extend the life of a telephone, and then Samsung might be leading the charge hither for others to follow.

And here's another last-minute leak, courtesy of Amazon Australia. It seems to show off the prices of the Galaxy S22 range. Starting at AU$1572.90, these prices seem a piffling steeper than expected, so take them with a serious dose of skepticism.

Nosotros'd roughly expect the Galaxy S22 range to accept the same pricing cadence every bit that of the Galaxy S21 lineup. Perhaps the Galaxy S22 Ultra could be a trivial pricier given it's tipped to have Notation-like features. But in a competitive smartphone loonshit, we doubt Samsung will want to go too far with hiking upwards its flagship prices.

Another Galaxy S22 pre-order bonus that's rumored to be on the cards is that Samsung will throw in a pair of the Galaxy Buds Pro wireless earbuds.

That'southward a pretty generous offering as the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro are not your average pair of earbuds. In fact, they secured a spot in our best noise-cancelling earbuds roundup. We've also awarded the Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro the "Most innovative headphones award" in the Tom's Guide Awards 2021 Audio category. We tin't ostend if this rumor is legitimate, and so don't gest too excited just nonetheless!

It looks like some official marketing images of the Galaxy S22 and Milky way S22 Plus have popped up online.

Don't expect a dramatic departure from the Galaxy S22's Contour Cut blueprint, but that dark green color looks rather communicable. Looks like Samsung has washed away with the two-tone color scheme for the camera module and the rear panel; that might exist a little disappointing, as the S21's Phantom Violet certainly drew 1's centre, albeit in a blingtastic fashion.

The Galaxy S22 is shaping up to be a chip more evolution non revolution over the Milky way S21. That not a bad thing in, as our Samsung Milky way S21 review we ended it'southward a very fine phone.

But going by the rumors then far, there may be a few notable upgrades. And so to help y'all make snese of them we've divvied up the biggest rumored differences between the Samsung Galaxy S22 vs Milky way S21.

iPhone 13 vs. Samsung Galaxy S22

Another affair to consider is how the face up-off between Samsung Galaxy S22 vs. Phone 13 volition turn out. The iPhone 13 is a stellar telephone, though the lack of a 120Hz brandish arguably holds it back.

Merely the Milky way S22 is tipped to not only get the core features of the S21 but also some notable upgrades, more often than not focussed on refinements to the triple photographic camera assortment. That could get in a rather appealing phone for anyone deciding now's the time for a change from Apple and its locked down ecosystem.

A new Samsung Milky way Tab S8 Ultra video has leaked showing off the central features of Samsung's new flagship tablet a scrap early. Y'all'll meet that there's a huge display along with S Pen integration, also every bit the ability to run three apps at once via multi-window software.

This video likewise shows what appears to be a total-sized keyboard and touchpad, every bit well every bit a Surface-like kickstand on the back. This could be the first good iPad Pro rival from the Android camp.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 live stream is now alive with over 20,000 people tuning in on Samsung's YouTube aqueduct to watch the evolution of the Unpacked art over the years and listen to some trippy music. Yes, we have a fiddling time to kill, but the apprehension is definitely building...

As you can see, the regular S22 and S22 Plus look similar an evolution of the contour cut design of the Galaxy S21 with rounded edges. But the Milky way S22 Ultra has its own look with a camera array that'due south more flush with the back of the telephone and squared off edges. And while you lot can't see it in this paradigm, expect a born S Pen on the Ultra.

Galaxy S21 FE

There'due south another phone that volition be affected by the Galaxy S22'due south announced price today — that would be the Galaxy S21 FE that Samsung shipped last calendar month.

One of the almost appealing things nigh the original Galaxy S20 Atomic number 26 was the fact that it had nearly of the features of Samsung's main flagships, but at a fraction of the price — the S20 Atomic number 26 cost $300 less than the Galaxy S20 when it debuted in 2020. Since Samsung introduced the Galaxy S21 at lower prices, that play a joke on was harder to pull off with the S21 FE. That phone costs $699, but that's only $100 cheaper than the chief S21.

Ironically, if the Galaxy S22 debuts at a higher price, information technology makes the Galaxy S21 Atomic number 26 a more than bonny buy. When we reviewed the telephone, we liked its cameras and performance, but constitute it hard to enthusiastically recommend until nosotros knew what the Galaxy S22 would cost. In less than an hour, we're going to find out.

Samsung sometimes rolls out exclusive colors for its phones on its website, and that could be happening this time around, besides. Leaker Evan Blass has posted what he calls "exclusive online colors" on his Twitter account, with pictures of the dissimilar models, likewise.

If you can't come across the tweet, we've posted a screen cap above. The Galaxy S22 Ultra'due south online colors will allegedly be graphite, reddish and sky blue. The Galaxy S22 is tipped to accept cream, graphite, sky blueish, and violet options.

It won't be long until we encounter how accurate this leak — and the hundreds of other Milky way S22 leaks — are.

If you are but now tuning into the Galaxy Unpacked alive stream — embedded above for your convenience — Samsung is running its usual pre-show reel that highlights the logos of by Unpacked events while futuristic music plays. Every bit hype videos become, information technology's very soothing.

There'due south a Galaxy S22 rumor that hasn't gotten a lot of play since information technology emerged this week, but nosotros certainly hope its true. Samsung is allegedly going to increase the amount of support you get with the Galaxy S22. Instead of iii years of software updates, the rumor claims, you can expect four years of Android updates with the Galaxy S22.

Meet more than

That's big news, if truthful. One of the biggest edges Apple has over the Android world is that it supports iPhones with software updates for ages and ages. The iOS 15 update still works on phones that came out half dozen years agone, for crying out loud.

Samsung's not going to be able to match that, merely this rumored increase in software support moves the Galaxy phones a piffling bit closer to the kind of support iPhone users relish.
