Right before CES 2022, Samsung took the wraps off its latest affordable smartphone, the Galaxy S21 FE. And now that the Galaxy S21 lineup is nearly a year old, we’re expecting its successor, the Galaxy S22, will be released soon. (Check out all the exciting new phones we’re waiting on in 2022.) Samsung’s new flagship lineup might arrive in early February, if rumors are to be believed. If you’re a Samsung fan looking to buy a new phone this year, there’s a good reason why you might find yourself deciding between two devices. The Galaxy S22 is expected to be the successor to the Galaxy S21, meaning it’ll be the least expensive model in Samsung’s new Galaxy S family. And the $700 Galaxy S21 FE is a more budget-friendly version of the Galaxy S21. So the S22 is expected to be on the lower end of the premium spectrum when it comes to price — well under $1,000.

The Galaxy S22 will probably be more expensive than the Galaxy S21 FE, and rumors suggest it’ll include a sharper camera and faster processor to justify that difference. Still, the Galaxy S21 FE might still have the edge when it comes to screen size and battery life. Here’s a closer look at what we’re expecting to see, based on the latest rumors. The Galaxy S22 is shaping up to be Samsung’s option for those who prefer a compact phone, like the Galaxy S10E. The Galaxy S22 may have a 6.06-inch screen, according to specifications published by prominent leaker Ice Universe. The Galaxy S21 FE, on the other hand, features a 6.4-inch display. Just like the S21 FE, the Galaxy S22 is expected to have a display refresh rate of up to 120Hz. If the leaks turn out to be true, the Galaxy S22 will be smaller than the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S20. In comparison, the Galaxy S21 FE falls between the sizes of the Galaxy S21 and the Galaxy S21 Plus.
