Now that the Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra are finally official, confirming almost every single leak from the last few weeks (months? years? decades?), it’s time to kick off another news cycle that’s likely to feel endless and unbearable too before long.
Don’t expect any records to be broken
Samsung would probably love to forget all about the Galaxy S21 family.
Galaxy S22 vs S22+ vs S22 Ultra – which model will be more successful?
At least for the time being, this is purportedly Samsung’s manufacturing plan for the three main members of its newest premium smartphone family:
Galaxy S22 (right) and S22 Plus (left)
Once again, though, initial (component) production goals are not the same thing as actual handset sales to end users, and depending on demand trends noticed during the ongoing pre-order period, we fully expect to hear news about adjustments made to the specific aforementioned numbers, as well as the grand total soon.
In addition to the lower price of the “standard” Galaxy S22, it’s probably safe to assume the compact body will also play an important role in its superior popularity over the Plus and Ultra models. That’s a little odd considering the modest sales results of the iPhone 12 mini and 13 mini, further proving there is a market for smaller-than-average handsets… as long as they’re larger than 5.4 inches.
Of course, the 6.1-inch iPhone 13 is actually the 6.1-inch Galaxy S22’s direct rival, spearheading an incredibly successful quartet that reportedly achieved 40 million unit shipments in the holiday quarter alone, completely shattering Samsung’s most optimistic lifetime S22 series targets.
