Galaxy Note fans should be aware of an unexpected Galaxy S22 Ultra rumor that says Samsung might have changed its launch plans.
An avalanche of Galaxy S22 “Note” rumors hit last week, as well-known leakers started posting a few exciting claims. It all started with reports that Samsung might turn the Galaxy S22 Ultra into a Galaxy Note successor. The Galaxy S22 Ultra may feature a built-in stylus, just like Galaxy Note phones have in the past. That meant the new S22 Ultra flagship will deliver a new design, featuring an overall appearance more like a Note. Then the first renders based on CAD schematics leaked, showing that the Galaxy S22 Ultra may indeed be thicker than before to accommodate the stylus. The renders also indicated the phone will have rounded sides and an unusual camera module on the back. Galaxy S22 renders followed, showing the regular S22 should look different than the Ultra. Fast-forward to Monday, and we have the craziest Galaxy S22 leak yet. Samsung canceled the Galaxy Note 21 earlier this year, blaming the decision on the chip shortage. The more likely reason to dump the phone was Samsung’s decision to pivot to foldable phone launches in the second half of the year. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 turned out to be more exciting handsets than their predecessors. They feature better build quality and they’re less expensive than their predecessors. The handsets have been selling very well, according to initial estimates. This seemed to cement the Galaxy Note’s demise.
