The Galaxy Note is back, it will simply be called the Galaxy S22 Ultra

The Galaxy Note 22 does not wait, the S22 Ultra ?! Notice the oval of the S-Pen at the bottom edge.

Grab a load of that “P” shaped camera block.

It’s unclear how a periscope camera would fit into that bottom P notch. It looks like it would need more vertical height, but Samsung makes cameras, so you never know.

It’s never too early to start talking about new Samsung phones, is it? OnLeaks has a number of renders for the Galaxy S22. These are usually based on CAD renders provided to case makers, and while they may miss some of the smaller details, the cutouts, camera lock, and other key features should be right.

The first is a render of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and here’s a shocker: it has an S-Pen! Samsung dropped the Note lineup this year to focus on foldable phones, but apparently still can’t let go of the idea of ​​handwriting the phone. Samsung shipped pen accessories for the S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3, but these required some sort of storage case. This rendering shows the S22 Ultra with the revealing oval along the bottom edge, just like an older Note phone. Push it in and the pen will come out.

The advantage of a built-in S-Pen is that if you want to handwrite on your phone, you’ll always have the pen with you. The downside is that the S22 Ultra’s battery will be smaller than it could be, because the pen holder takes up a lot of space. It’s also a big deal for anyone who wants a premium Samsung phone but has no interest in handwriting because they’ll have to put up with the pen sucking up battery space. You have no choice.

Designing around the S-Pen holder means the S22 Ultra generally has a Galaxy Note 20-style design. There is a flat top and bottom edge, and the high corners make the phone a full rectangle, giving the S-Pen a little more storage space. The front screen is also a solid rectangle, with only minimally rounded corners. The phone still has a perforated camera, instead of the selfie cameras under the display that Samsung has placed in the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Announcement

The only major departure from the Note 20’s design is the rear camera lock, which now has a missing piece in the lower right corner (so it forms a “P” shape). The missing piece is in front of the periscope camera lens; previously the Galaxy S21 Ultra needed that space for the periscope camera, which took up a lot of space horizontally. Now, the normal periscope footprint doesn’t seem to fit.

OnLeaks also has renders of the base model S22 and S22 +, which look identical to last year’s models.

The coolest thing about the S22 phones should be the SoC. Samsung is betting everything on its in-house Exynos chips and starts a partnership with AMD, which will provide the GPUs to match the ARM-designed CPUs. Samsung and AMD announced this partnership in 2019, and Samsung’s Exynos division said the fruits of that partnership should be visible in its next flagship product, which would be the Exynos 2200 SoC slated for the S22.

Samsung does not typically ship Exynos chips to many parts of the world, choosing to split the range with Qualcomm for major markets like the US and China, but we have a hard time imagining the company introducing Radeon + Exynos SoCs and others. you roll them out everywhere. Samsung has already launched Exynos worldwide with the Galaxy S6, and its recent work with Google on the Pixel 6, which will bring an Exynos modem to the US for the first time in years, shows that the company is ready to expand further. territories.
