Just when we thought the Galaxy S22 Ultra couldn’t get more interesting, what with the Note line succession through a boxier shape, now comes the real hint of Galaxy Note inspiration, a rumor that it will also have an S Pen silo.
The Note 22 is dead, long live the S22 Ultra and its mighty S Pen sword!
The purported move from the current 20:9 aspect ratio of the S21 models, to the reported 19.3:9 on the S22 series will result in a shorter but less narrow handsets, leaving ample room for an S Pen silo on the side of the S22 Ultra.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra display size may grow
This will be valid even more for the S22 Ultra whose exact screen size hasn’t leaked yet so we may be wrongly assuming that it will retain the same 6.8″ diagonal. Even in that case, though, that will result in more canvas to draw with the S Pen on than what we now have on the S21 Ultra.
The Note 20 Ultra panel aspect could transfer to the S22 Ultra directly
Notice the 3088×1440 pixels of resolution writeup on the chart? Yeah, that’s exactly the new 19.3:9 aspect ratio that is rumored to engulf the Galaxy S22 series in its wider-bodied hug, including the Ultra model with the S Pen.
Could then Samsung be preparing a real Note 20 Ultra successor, just nestled within the S22 family and called the Galaxy S22 Ultra? If these latest rumors that the S22 Ultra will have an S Pen stylus silo, blockier shape, and a 19.3:9 display aspect ratio just like the Note 20 Ultra pan out, that scenario looks increasingly plausible.
We know at least a few people that would be happy to buy it, if the Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with these specs:
- 6.8″ 3088×1440 pixels 120Hz display
- S Pen stylus silo
- Snapdragon 898/Exynos 2100 chipsets
- 108MP main camera
- 12MP telephoto camera
- 12MP 10x periscope zoom camera
- 5000mAh battery
