Not much is known about the Samsung Galaxy S22 release dateBut we expect Samsung to follow a similar timeline to its 2021 plans, where the company pushed back its launch from previous years and revealed the phone in mid-January.
Does that mean we will see the Samsung Galaxy S22 series in January 2022? There are no guarantees and Samsung may decide to return to its usual launch location in February or March. That said, the company may even bring the launch forward and announce the phones earlier.

News and Leaks
We haven't heard anything specific about the Samsung Galaxy S22 yet in terms of the specs we're expecting. However, we can collect information about some more important leaks from Samsung.
For example, a leak suggests that Samsung is already working on its Exynos 9855 chipset, and it is expected to be ready for the phone in 2022. Little is known about this chip, but it gives us an idea of the model.
Samsung has also confirmed that it will not include chargers in the box with future smartphones, so expect to purchase a separate charger alongside its Samsung flagship if you don't already have one.
What we want to see
While we wait to learn more about the Samsung Galaxy S22, we have been thinking about some improvements that we would like the company to make in its next flagship series.
1. Replace the microSD holder
It's simple and it's a clear step for Samsung, as the company has almost always offered microSD support on its smartphones. For those unfamiliar with the situation, the Samsung Galaxy S21 range does not have a microSD card slot., which means you won't be able to expand the storage.
Have you bought the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra 128GB? You are stuck with this amount of storage no matter how long you use the phone. This is the case with other brands like Apple, but we preferred it when Samsung offered the option to expand its storage.
2. Include better storage options

On the subject of storage the Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to offer additional storage options to choose from. This is especially true if the company decides that it no longer wants to support microSD cards.
The Galaxy S21, for example, only available in 128GB and 256GB storage sizes. If you want more space, you should go for the larger Galaxy S21 Ultra.
3. Lower the price even further
The Samsung Galaxy S21 lineup has dropped in price compared to smartphones in 2020, and that is an admirable feat of the company, but we would like prices to fall further in 2022.
Of course, this is in great demand. The Galaxy S21 Ultra is packed with high-end tech, and it's unlikely the company will be able to drop the price any lower than it did with the 2021 phone.
That said, there were a lot of spec drops when comparing the Galaxy S21 to the Galaxy S20. If the company continues to offer slightly lower specs than what we're used to, we'd like the price to drop further to reflect that.
4. make standard editions more interesting

The Samsung Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus may not be the most exciting smartphones, but they're still a great option. We gave each one four stars on TechRadar, dropping to 4 stars for the slightly more innovative Galaxy S21 Ultra.
We're not sure how, but we'd love to see other features make it to these two cheaper phones that are almost certain to launch in 2022. We'd love to see the company introduce high-end features like the S Pen or 100x digital zoom telephoto lens.
The Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus were a bit behind their predecessors, so we'd like Samsung to make the upcoming models more exciting when they arrive in 2022.
5. Avoid Glasstic
It's not something that matters to everyone, but the Galaxy S21 has moved away from a glass back and switched to a Glasstic rear. It's Samsung's proper name for a plastic and glass hybrid, and it doesn't feel all that fancy.
The Galaxy S21 Plus and Galaxy S21 Ultra are glued with glass, and we would like the company to opt for this material on all models of the Samsung Galaxy S22 given the price of these smartphones.
6. Increased compatibility with stylus in Ultra

You no longer need to buy a Galaxy Note smartphone to enjoy the benefits of a Samsung stylus.; now you can opt for the Galaxy S21 Ultra. We've found the stylus experience useful, and for those who want the accessory, this is a great option.
That said, support for the S Pen is not as extensive as it is on the Galaxy Note line. You have to opt for the S Pen Pro, for example, in order to benefit from certain features, but it is not yet available. We hope that in 2022 Samsung's S Pen functionality for its S series will be more complete.
