The Samsung Galaxy S21 came out less than a year ago and, although its successor isn’t due until 2022, speculation is ramping up for the Galaxy S22 with rumors about the new smartphone line’s possible release date and specs. Although the exact launch date for the Galaxy S22 is still unclear, Pulse New Korea speculates that the new phone lineup could be arriving in January. The Galaxy S21 was revealed in January 2021, a change from the phone maker’s previous timeline for the Galaxy S Series, which usually gets unveiled in February. Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series features three phones, the Galaxy S21, S21 Plus and S21 Ultra. (Here are the CNET Galaxy S21 review and Galaxy S21 Ultra review.) The Galaxy S22 series is rumored to mirror the three-phone lineup with a standard, Plus and Ultra model, if leaks around the phones’ screen sizes are to be believed.
