These leaks come from leaker Evan Blass, via his Leakmail Substack newsletter. A serial of alleged promo materials from Italy seemingly ostend a lot of rumored specs while also shedding calorie-free on the key differences between the Galaxy S22, Milky way S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

In the leaked material, we see several of the phone's measurements and specs, which we've summarized in the table beneath.

	Galaxy S22	Galaxy S22 Plus	Galaxy S22 Ultra
Display	6.one-inch FHD AMOLED	6.half-dozen-inch FHD AMOLED	half dozen.eight-inch QHD AMOLED
Maximum refresh rate	120 Hz	120 Hz	120 Hz
Rear cameras	50MP main (f/1.viii), 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2), 10MP telephoto (f/two.four)	50MP principal (f/1.8), 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2), 10MP telephoto (f/2.4)	108MP primary (f/1.eight), 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2), 10MP telephoto (f/2.iv), 10MP telephoto 2 (f/4.9)
Forepart cameras	10MP (f/2.2)	10MP (f/2.2)	40MP (f/2.2)
Chipset	Exynos 2200	Exynos 2200	Exynos 2200
Charging speed	25W	45W	45W
Size	5.seven x ii.8 x 0.29 inches (146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm)	vi.2 10 ii.9 x three inches (157.4 x 75.eight x 7.six mm)	half-dozen.4 x 3.1 ten 0.35 inches (163.iii x 77.9 x eight.9 mm)

The only difference we may see from these specs is the chipset. These leaks appear to be sourced from Italy, which gets the Exynos 2200 chipset that's been rumored for all phones sold in Europe, including the U.K. The U.S. market, even so, volition probably be using a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version of the S22, which will offer slightly different performance and too won't use the AMD RDNA graphics present in the Exynos bit.

The display seems to be a key feature that the S22 will be focusing on. The marketing proclaims the screen as "the brightest brandish ever on a Galaxy," offering 1,300 nits of effulgence and 120Hz max refresh rate.

A change to the photographic camera package on all three models is the upgraded video fashion, which is described equally "the biggest bound in our video technology" and "more brilliant and stable than ever" in the Italian marketing re-create. The logo in the corner also says the phone records at up to 8K resolution in Super HDR, an upgrade on the standard 8K manageable on the S21 serial.

There are obviously many similarities betwixt the Galaxy S22 and the S22 Plus. However, the primary difference is the size. While both of these models are reportedly smaller than final year's S21 equivalents, the S22 Plus is tipped to remain a adequately large phone at 6.half dozen inches, with the same one,300 nit, 120Hz AMOLED tech for its display.

Charging is the other chief departure other than size. The S22 is tipped to offer merely 25W charging, like the S21 serial did. The S22 Plus and the S22 Ultra can reportedly charge up to 45W according to these leaks. Samsung previously offered this on the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Milky way Note 20 Ultra, although it included 25W chargers in the box.

We likely won't be getting chargers in the box with the S22 series though, as Samsung concluded that with the S21. If that wasn't plenty testify, the promo images also show that the phone parcel contains only the S22 handset, a USB-C cablevision and a SIM tool.

Galaxy S22 Ultra

We see the largest differences in the range betwixt the Milky way S22 Ultra and the S22 and S22 Plus. You lot can see the total specs mentioned in the table to a higher place, merely the main ones are the differently designed quad rear camera array, the college resolution selfie camera, and the larger vi.8-inch brandish with a higher ane,750 nits brightness rating.

The biggest new detail we get from these leaks is an explanation of the previously rumored SuperClear Lens, which is fitted to the main 108MP camera. It'southward described in the marketing material (translated from Italian) equally offering "brighter shots without reflections or glare". Camera lenses tin't help but distort the light that passes through them on the way to the sensor that actually captures the image in front of you, so this new lens that Samsung is using is challenge to reduce or even eliminate this common trouble.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked takes place on February nine, and it'southward a prophylactic bet to presume we'll encounter the S22 there, alongside the Galaxy Tab S8 tablet series. However, be aware that the actual release date for the S22 series could be further away than expected, due to supply concatenation bug.
