With an expected launch date in February, Samsung’s new flagship Galaxy S22 could be a matter of weeks away. That’s pretty exciting, given that we were seriously impressed with the previous Galaxy S21. Its great specs and overall performance cemented it as one of the top phones of the year, while the S21 Ultra absolutely blew me away with its camera zoom skills. Rumors around the S22 have been flying around for some time now, with features including a 200-megapixel picture sensor and a smaller display, being hotly tipped. Check out how the Galaxy S22 could stack up against the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S21 FE. We even got a glimpse of the Galaxy S22 Ultra in a rumored leaked poster, but we’ll have to wait until the phone’s reveal to determine if the gossip was true. In the meantime, as a demanding tech addict, I have my own wish list of features I’d like to see in Samsung’s upcoming phone. We’ve already had the launch of the Apple iPhone 13 and Google’s Pixel 6. Those phones may well influence Samsung’s plans for its own phones. Expect to see this article updated as the months progress, and keep an eye on CNET’s ongoing rumor roundup for the latest on the Galaxy S22 series and the Galaxy S21 FE.

The camera on the S21 Ultra is superb, with an awesome optical zoom that lets you get shots that few phones can compare to. But it wasn’t a big upgrade over the S20. Both had 100x zooms, both did 8K video, both had 108-megapixel sensors. The S20 Ultra was the big leap forward, the S21 Ultra just refined it slightly. It’s time then for a bigger update, and some early rumors suggest a 200-megapixel sensor and much-improved zoom systems on the S22 Ultra. That would be lovely, but more megapixels doesn’t necessarily mean better photos, so I’d also like to see an even bigger image sensor — maybe a 1-inch sensor. It’s no secret that a bigger image sensor allows for better dynamic range in a photo. If Samsung paired that resolution with a big sensor capable of capturing tons of light and contrast details it could have an absolutely astonishing camera system on its hands.
