We hope you like spoilers. If you haven't had enough Samsung Galaxy S22 pre-release data yet, then these fresh leaks volition certainly tide you over until Samsung Galaxy Unpacked on Feb 9.

These leaks come from leaker Evan Blass, via his Leakmail Substack newsletter. A series of alleged promo materials from Italy seemingly ostend a lot of rumored specs while likewise shedding light on the fundamental differences betwixt the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

In the leaked material, we see several of the telephone's measurements and specs, which nosotros've summarized in the table below.

Size	v.7 x 2.8 10 0.29 inches (146 x seventy.6 x 7.6 mm)	6.ii x 2.ix x 3 inches (157.4 10 75.8 x vii.six mm)	six.iv x three.ane ten 0.35 inches (163.3 x 77.9 10 8.9 mm)

The just difference we may run into from these specs is the chipset. These leaks appear to be sourced from Italy, which gets the Exynos 2200 chipset that's been rumored for all phones sold in Europe, including the U.Thou. The U.S. market, however, volition probably be using a Snapdragon 8 Gen ane version of the S22, which will offer slightly different operation and also won't use the AMD RDNA graphics present in the Exynos fleck.

The brandish seems to be a key feature that the S22 volition be focusing on. The marketing proclaims the screen as "the brightest brandish ever on a Milky way," offer i,300 nits of brightness and 120Hz max refresh charge per unit.

A change to the photographic camera package on all iii models is the upgraded video manner, which is described as "the biggest leap in our video technology" and "more brilliant and stable than ever" in the Italian marketing copy. The logo in the corner also says the telephone records at up to 8K resolution in Super HDR, an upgrade on the standard 8K manageable on the S21 series.

There are apparently many similarities between the Milky way S22 and the S22 Plus. However, the primary divergence is the size. While both of these models are reportedly smaller than concluding year's S21 equivalents, the S22 Plus is tipped to remain a fairly big telephone at half-dozen.6 inches, with the same 1,300 nit, 120Hz AMOLED tech for its display.

Charging is the other primary difference other than size. The S22 is tipped to offer only 25W charging, like the S21 series did. The S22 Plus and the S22 Ultra can reportedly charge upwardly to 45W according to these leaks. Samsung previously offered this on the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, although information technology included 25W chargers in the box.

Nosotros likely won't be getting chargers in the box with the S22 series though, as Samsung ended that with the S21. If that wasn't plenty evidence, the promo images too testify that the phone packet contains only the S22 handset, a USB-C cable and a SIM tool.

We see the largest differences in the range betwixt the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the S22 and S22 Plus. Yous can meet the full specs mentioned in the table above, merely the main ones are the differently designed quad rear camera array, the higher resolution selfie camera, and the larger 6.8-inch display with a college 1,750 nits brightness rating.

The biggest new detail we become from these leaks is an caption of the previously rumored SuperClear Lens, which is fitted to the main 108MP camera. Information technology'southward described in the marketing textile (translated from Italian) every bit offer "brighter shots without reflections or glare". Camera lenses tin can't help but distort the light that passes through them on the way to the sensor that really captures the image in front of yous, so this new lens that Samsung is using is claiming to reduce or fifty-fifty eliminate this common trouble.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked takes place on Feb ix, and it'due south a safe bet to presume we'll run across the S22 in that location, alongside the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet series. Yet, be aware that the bodily release date for the S22 series could exist farther away than expected, due to supply concatenation issues.
