The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is set to launch in early 2022. While the exact date is still unclear, a new report by SamMobile claims to have information confirming an early February launch event for the flagship series. The news from SamMobile also coincides with tipster Jon Prosser‘s claim that the Galaxy S22 series pre-orders will go live in the second week of February.
Contrarily, though, noted tipster @IceUniverse says the Galaxy S22 “may” launch in early January. Based on @IceUniverse’s reliable track record, it is not easy to prove this claim false without another reliable source. It’s also worth noting that it’s unlikely for Samsung’s flagships to launch in January next year, given the ongoing global chip shortage.
Another more apparent reason for this delay, as also hypothesized previously, could be Samsung’s desire to allow the Galaxy S21 FE (Fan Edition) more attention, instead of being overshadowed by the more compelling Galaxy S22 series. The Galaxy S21 FE was previously slated to launch in November, but the date was later pushed to January, as per Prosser, though just like the S22, many of the S21 FE release date leaks have been contradictory.
Based on the previous Galaxy S22 leaks, the smartphone series is likely to be an evolution over the Galaxy S21 instead of a complete redesign. Only the Galaxy S22 Ultra could see a major upgrade in terms of the camera — it’s expected to feature a 108MP camera in a P-shaped design. The Galaxy S22 Ultra’s camera could also benefit from a partnership between Samsung and camera maker Olympus, resulting in better color science and image processing. Finally, the Galaxy S22 Ultra could also feature a dedicated S-Pen slot, making it the final nail in the Galaxy Note series’ coffin.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
