Reliable tipster 'can confirm' Samsung Galaxy S22 series release date
, speculation is unsurprisingly ramping up in regards to the timing of the Galaxy S22 family's actual commercial release.
Update: Samsung just launched a Galaxy S22 reservation page. Jump in to make sure you are among the first to pre-order!
We're obviously talking both pre-orders and shipments to early adopters, and although there still seems to be a little bit of confusion hovering over this undoubtedly looming schedule, a typically trustworthy source claims to be in the position to "confirm" one key date today.When will the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra start shipping?
On February 25. That's at least according to the TechInsider Blog over on Twitter, which was formerly known as SnoopyTech, reliably revealing plenty of secrets about unannounced and unreleased products in the last few years under both those monikers.February 25, 2022 happens to be the month's final Friday, as well as the last weekday before the official start of this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Behold the Galaxy S22+ in two of its impending colors.
While that latter piece of information may not seem particularly relevant to the Galaxy S22 series launch schedule, the former tidbit is important, as the Galaxy S21 trio began shipping on the last Friday of January 2021.
The Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 5G also rolled out to their most eager buyers on the final Friday of August 2021, strongly suggesting a pattern that Samsung could well stick to with the S22 trio next month rather than kicking off shipments a week early (i.e. on February 18) or on Thursday, February 24, as other (similarly) reliable tipsters and leakers have predicted of late.In lack of a new TechInsider Blog prediction concerning pre-orders, we'll just assume the most recent rumors will pan out on that point. To recap, this is the most likely Galaxy S22 family schedule right now:
- Unpacked announcement - February 9
- Pre-orders - February 9
- Shipment date - February 25
What else do we know about the Galaxy S22 lineup?
In short, a lot. Almost everything, in fact. Of course, not everything is etched in stone already, but these S22 Ultra 5G specs seem virtually guaranteed after the latest comprehensive leaks:
