Galaxy S22 rumors: Samsung’s new lineup could support 65W charging .

The Samsung Galaxy S22 isn’t expected for some time, possibly making its debut in January 2022, but the rumor mill never stops turning. The latest news about Samsung’s upcoming flagship lineup came from leaker FrontTron on Twitter. He said the Galaxy S22 could offer faster charging times than both the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy Note 20 lineup with the help of 65W charging support. The Galaxy S22 isn’t the only Samsung phone we are looking out for. The company is also expected to unveil new foldables at its Aug. 11 Galaxy Unpacked event. 

The Samsung Galaxy S21 was released in January 2021 and impressed us with its solid all-round performance and better balance of price. The Galaxy S21 Ultra meanwhile blew us away with its incredible camera setup and its ability to take superb zoomed in shots. But what about the follow up series? We’re curious to see what the Galaxy S22 will bring. 

Here then is what we think we might see from the Galaxy S22. 

Galaxy S22 release date: January 2022?

Samsung typically launched its S-series phones in March, but it bucked that trend in 2021 by launching the S21 line in January. The company typically follows a 12-month cycle of updating its handsets so we currently expect the S22 to be announced in January 2022, possibly at, or around the CES tech show in Las Vegas. 

However, it’s also possible that Samsung might want to give the S21 line a bit more breathing room and could return to a March launch schedule. With COVID-19 restrictions hopefully being a bit easier by then, Samsung could hope to do an in-person launch event, which it often does simultaneously in cities across the globe.

Price: How much will the Galaxy S22 cost? 

Sales of the Galaxy S20 line didn’t impress and it’s likely it had a lot to do with the generally high prices, coupled with widespread financial uncertainty for many people due to the pandemic. The S21 offered handsets at slightly more affordable prices by swapping glass back panels for toughened plastic.

At launch, the base S20 came in at $1,000 in the US, while the base S21 undercut that at $800. While we don’t expect Samsung to try and make the S22 line cheaper, we do think it’s a safe bet that the company will try and match the price point of the S21, rather than increase it back to S20 levels.
