According to the well-known tipster Jon Prosser, the never-ending supply chain chaos may have hit the supply of Samsung’s new flagship phone Galaxy S22, resulting in delays in shipments.
Not all Galaxy S22 models will go on sale on the first day, the source said. Instead, supply may be divided. According to reports, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will be available from February 25th, while March 11th will be when the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ will ship to users.
As you can see from the screenshot of Jon Prosser’s tweet, Samsung has no plans to delay the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22, which will be released on February 9.
The South Korean tech giant will also start taking pre-orders on the day the new Galaxy S22 smartphone is released. So, in effect, what has changed is the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Standard Edition models.
Bad news:
I’m told that due to supply chain issues, the Galaxy S22 lineup has had a slight setback.
Pre-order for ALL devices is still happening on event day (Feb 9)
However, availability has now been split:
S22 Ultra: Feb 25

In addition to the next-gen S22, Samsung is also planning to announce the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet at the Unpacked event. Meanwhile, the Tab S8 will likely be available in retail stores starting February 22.
Going back to the new S22 series, it will be powered by Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, depending on a different country and regional markets.
Rumored specs of the Samsung Galaxy S22 series
The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ models have three camera setups – a 50-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide-angle camera, and a camera with 3x optical zoom.
The highest configuration, the Samsung S22 Ultra, is expected to offer a 108MP main camera. Other exciting features include a 120Hz display, stereo speakers, fast charging, wireless charging, and water and dust resistance.
Meanwhile, the next-gen Samsung S22 Ultra will have a 5000mAh battery and support 45W charging speeds, which could be much better than the 25W used in the Galaxy S21.
The 45W charger certainly isn’t the fastest charging speed on the market right now, but it’s more than enough to charge the battery from 0 to 100% in under an hour.
