Samsung will launch the Galaxy S22 series in the next month. That’s what the rumors are pointing to with a speculative February 8 launch date. The company is expected to unveil the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. According to new reports, the company may also use this opportunity to unveil its Galaxy Tab S8 series. Since the Exynos 2200 has already been revealed, then we expect the company to use the new event to focus only on new products and not hardware. The new report comes straight from the tipster Max Jambor, who expects the entire flagship tablet lineup to come alongside the Galaxy S22 smartphones.

Unfortunately, the tipster didn’t confirm the launch date, so we’re still working with the speculative February launch window. If the next Galaxy Unpacked data is correct, then we expect Samsung to start sending invites within the next 10 days. The company may adopt a virtual-only reveal for smartphones given the recent rise in the COVID-19 cases across the world.
