The Samsung Galaxy S22 is one of the most anticipated flagship lines for next year.

In the case of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, you need to be ready to pay $ 1299 for the smartphone. Those. on average, the price tag will rise by $ 50-100. At the same time, the source emphasized that already in the basic version, the Galaxy S22 + and Galaxy S22 Ultra will offer 256 GB of memory.
We are waiting for the premiere of the Samsung Galaxy S22 at the end of January or next February. All three new items will receive AMOLED displays with an increased refresh rate, up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage, batteries with a capacity of at least 4000 mAh and support for fast charging up to 45 W. The company should release the new device in two variants of the hardware platform: Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200.+

Also, between July and September inclusive, 331.2 million smartphones were sold globally. For comparison: a year earlier shipments were equal to 354.9 million units.
