A new study from Korean publication The Elec suggests that Samsung is fix to adapt its ratio of Galaxy S handsets, with the lion'southward share of product dedicated to the rumored 6.1-inch Galaxy S22 phone.

According to the slice, Samsung will exist initially producing a number of handsets in the depression 20-million range, which is down from the 30 million Galaxy S21 units reportedly manufactured. Of these, around l-lx% will reportedly be the half-dozen.1-inch Milky way S22, with just twenty% of the allocation earmarked to exist half dozen.half dozen-inch S22 Plus handsets. The Galaxy S22 Ultra will apparently account for the remaining 20 to 30%.

Compared to by years, that's a big increase on the percent of bones models produced. For the Galaxy S20 and S21, the standard model accounted for only twoscore% of production, with the Ultra version increasing from 10-15% in 2020 to thirty% in 2021.

If this study is to be believed, it'south the Plus model that's existence squeezed from both sides, dropping from forty-45% of product in 2020 to 30% in 2021 and just xx% adjacent year. This might explain why Samsung is apparently considering rebranding information technology every bit the Galaxy S22 Pro, rather than sticking with the 'Plus' proper name.

Galaxy S22 Ultra replacing Galaxy Note

Ane other line in the report stands out: "Information technology is highly likely that the Galaxy Note serial won't launch in 2022."

But to us, that feels a bit like semantics, given the commodity reiterates that the S22 Ultra volition include a dock for the S Pen for the showtime fourth dimension. If information technology adopts a different manner to the S22, is significantly larger, looks similar the Galaxy Notation 20, and houses an S Pen, then information technology sounds similar a Samsung Milky way Note to us, even if it does stop up having Galaxy S22 branding.

Indeed, one leaker believes that the S22 Ultra could really end upward beingness called the Note 22 Ultra:

Oops, OnLeaks confirmed the S22 Pro proper noun and then I gauge I will do the rest:- S22+ = S22 Pro- S22 Ultra = Note22 UltraYep, y'all heard information technology right. S22 Ultra might actually exist chosen equally the Note22 Ultra! (A bit warning below) movie.twitter.com/ivqDDFat2QSeptember 25, 2021

A follow-up tweet added that this decision hadn't been finalized and that the possibility had only recently been discussed, so it'southward possible that The Elec has newer information indicating that the Note branding won't be returning in 2022.

Just nonetheless it'south ultimately positioned, information technology seems that the hardcore Galaxy Note fans who petitioned Samsung for a new version in early 2022 are going to exist very happy with what the company brings to the table early on next year. Or maybe fifty-fifty in December, if i leaker'south hunch is proved right.
