Image
Now an aluminum dummy of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 has appeared. And this dummy basically confirms the information leaked so far. The design will hardly change compared to its predecessor, but the device will be unusually compact thanks to a 6.06 ″ display. Since the rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S22 series have been circulating for a few weeks, it is hardly surprising that something new is added almost every day.

Samsung smartwatch: the new generation will be completely different

Image
Samsung has just launched two new smartwatches, the Galaxy Watch 4 and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, but development continues. Especially in the area of ​​battery life, a new technology should bring the breakthrough. Samsung is planning a smartwatch with a solar bracelet The test of the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic showed that the battery life of the brand new smartwatch is okay, but that you can quickly reach the limit in certain situations. Samsung is now working on a new idea that will solve this problem. A patent has now revealed that Samsung is developing a solar bracelet that will always charge the watch without an external power supply when rays of the sun hit it. The technical implementation of this idea is pretty ingenious. According to this, Samsung wants to place small "solar batteries" on both sides, which consist of a polymer with quantum dots and thus capture the light. The structure can be seen in the drawing, while in the final version you should hardly see anything...

{Disarmed} Global chip shortages will have an even bigger impact on smartphones

Image
The shortage of chips and other electronic components affected several industries over the past year, with smartphones having only been marginally affected so far. However, according to a new report, the situation could get worse. Counterpoint Research assumes that the chip shortage "hits the smartphone industry hard", which is why the forecast for smartphone sales in 2021 has been reduced from 1.45 billion units to 1.41 billion units. Part of this change is due to some smartphone makers selling lower volumes in the second quarter, an issue that only worsened in the third quarter. Some smartphone manufacturers are currently reporting that they are only getting around 70 percent of the quantities requested, up from 80 percent in the second quarter. Counterpoint believes 90 percent of the smartphone industry is affected by this problem. "... some smartphone OEMs and distributors report that they only received 80% of the quantities of key components they requested...

Samsung gives up: cult smartphone with no return

Image
Until recently, all Samsung fans hoped that the worst fear would not come true. Now an insider has revealed that the Galaxy Note series is actually history. However, Samsung does not want the S Pen to die completely. Samsung Galaxy Note lives on in the Galaxy S Samsung did not introduce a Galaxy Note 21 this year. Instead, the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 (for testing) were introduced. Samsung has not officially buried the Note series, but an insider has now revealed that the Note series is actually history . While the idea of ​​a smartphone with a retractable S Pen has died, the pen in itself lives on in Samsung smartphones: The classic Galaxy Note, as we have known and grown to love for years, is no longer being built . Samsung is now pursuing a new strategy. The S Pen can also be used on the Galaxy S21 Ultra and Galaxy Z Fold 3. It is no longer pushed into the housing during transport, but somehow it remains. Samsung is already thinking about a solution, as a recently em...

Galaxy M22: Samsung s new middle class with premium display

Image
A lot of performance for little money: With the Galaxy M22, Samsung will soon be offering a new mid-range mobile phone with some premium functions. In particular, the AMOLED display and the long-lasting battery are impressive. A headphone jack is also included. Samsung Galaxy M22: AMOLED display with 90 Hertz Samsung is about to release the Galaxy M22, which stands out positively in several areas. It starts with the AMOLED display, which has a diagonal of 6.4 inches and a refresh rate of 90 Hertz . This makes movements on the display even more fluid. The other highlight concerns the battery, because the manufacturer is generous here. The battery has a capacity of 5,000 mAh and should last a long time before the cell phone has to be recharged. Wired 25 watts are possible, whereby Samsung only includes a charger in the package that provides 15 watts. Android 11 with Samsung's One UI 3.1 is preinstalled on the smartphone. No top performance is expected from the cameras, but the ...

Image
Samsung has finally started removing the ads from the One UI Stock apps. A few weeks ago, the company promised to remove ads from proprietary apps like Samsung Weather, Samsung Pay, and Samsung Theme. At that time, however, there was no precise schedule for this measure.

{Disarmed} The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will soon crack an important sales milestone

Image
The new foldable smartphones from Samsung were really well received. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Z Flip 3 are enjoying incredible demand all over the world. Samsung had previously confirmed that pre-orders alone have exceeded all previous sales of foldable smartphones. It's not uncommon for the initial hype to wear off a bit after a while.

Sales of the continue to be so good that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 are likely to hit the 1 million mark this weekend. This is an important milestone for the foldable devices.

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G: Much cheaper through action The Galaxy A52 5G hadn't been on the market for a long time when Samsung launched the improved version of the Galaxy A52s 5G out of nowhere.

Samsung flashes off: No preferential treatment for the largest smartphone manufacturer

Image
Samsung has a problem. Not enough smartphones can be built, so popular models are sold out and new devices may not appear at all. That is why the Samsung boss wanted to intervene personally and returned without a sense of achievement. Qualcomm doesn't prefer Samsung There is currently a shortage of chips in the world. The corona pandemic and other factors have resulted in a lack of chips in basically every industry. Samsung is also among the victims of this crisis . Smartphones like the Galaxy A52 were sometimes not available at all. Therefore, with the Galaxy A52s, a new model with a different processor was launched on the market to counteract this. According to The Elec, the Samsung Mobile boss himself traveled to Qualcomm in San Diego twice this year in order to somehow still be able to tap resources there to get processors. But nothing came of it. According to the source, Samsung was flashed off both times with no additional resources . The curious thing is that Samsung it...

{Disarmed} Huh? Samsung Galaxy S21 FE appeared at the FCC

Image
Unconfirmed reports earlier this week said Samsung may have canceled plans to release the Galaxy S21 FE. But now it appears that the Exynos model of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been submitted to the FCC for certification. But that is more than confusing now. The records indicate that the phone is version number SM-G990E. According to reports, this is the model of the smartphone with Samsung's in-house Exynos processor. Not much is known about the FCC filing yet, but all evidence points to this phone. The Samsung Galaxy S21 FE has been in limbo for some time. During the summer there were numerous references to the smartphone, including documents that had already been submitted to the Bluetooth SIG and a mention in the Google Play Console . Even the phone's user guide has found its way onto the Internet. However, rumors surfaced about a possible delay in the phone's launch about a month ago. The blame for this has been related to the current global chip shorta...

{Disarmed} Samsung Galaxy S22 should make up half of series production

Image
The Samsung Galaxy S22 is to appear with a 6.06 ″ display, making it very compact. And as it is now reported, it will make up almost half of the devices produced in the upcoming Galaxy S22 series. Samsung apparently sees a lot of potential in the device and has set itself a delivery target of up to 60 percent of the entire range for this device. The Samsung Galaxy S22 + is expected to make up 20 percent of deliveries and the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is expected to be between 20 and 30 percent. The Ultra model is touted as the successor to the Note 20 Ultra and will be able to house the S Pen stylus. Therefore, the low expectations of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra are a bit strange when you consider that the model is supposed to put off fans of the former Note series. These numbers are a novelty as Samsung has never set more than half of the production and delivery target for a single model in the range. For the Samsung Galaxy S20 series, for example, the standard version accoun...

Image

Details on the features of the Galaxy A33 have not yet been determined. Samsung may forego the previous distinction between LTE and 5G models in the next year and only release a single 5G-enabled cell phone (source: Galaxy Club). It is to be hoped that Samsung has dealt with the problems of the Galaxy A32...

{Disarmed} Samsung Galaxy S22 +: The battery is also smaller here

Image
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is expected to be presented in January 2022. And again and again in the last few days there have been a series of leaks about the upcoming flagships. After it has already been announced that the battery of the Samsung Galaxy S22 will be significantly smaller than its predecessor, the battery capacity of the Samsung Galaxy S22 + has now also been confirmed. A Samsung battery with the model number EB-BS906ABY has been certified by the South Korean certification authority. Judging by the model number, it's used in the Galaxy S22 +.

Samsung Galaxy S22: Plus model is also devalued

Image
With the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus and S22, Samsung has to bring ultra high-end smartphones onto the market that are selling well. At the moment, however, the company seems to be working hard to ensure that exactly the opposite occurs. When it comes to the battery, savings are made instead of being cluttered. Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus: Battery is getting smaller too Just yesterday we reported that the battery in the Galaxy S22 was getting smaller. It has now been assumed that Samsung only does this with the smallest model. But exactly the opposite is the case. Samsung will also downsize the battery on the Galaxy S22 Plus. The Galaxy S22's battery has been reduced from 4,000 mAh to 3,700 mAh compared to its predecessor. The capacity of the Galaxy S22 Plus drops from 4,800 mAh in the Galaxy S21 Plus to just 4,500 mAh (source: MyFixGuide). So you lose 300 mAh each time. This will inevitably affect the battery life of the Galaxy S22 Plus. No matter how efficient the new processor and the ...

{Disarmed} Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Name is 100 percent confirmed

Image
Now it seems to be official! The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will be called the S22 Ultra and not the Galaxy Note 22 Ultra. Corresponding rumors have been making the rounds in the last few days. The S Pen slot inside the device and the camera shape, which will look a bit unusual, are also confirmed. When it comes to the design of the device, there seem to be hardly any unanswered questions, a slightly more angular design, the S Pen that can be stowed in the device and the shape of the camera on the back seem almost safe. More and more leaks confirm this. But suddenly there was a question mark behind the name. Because the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is to continue the Note series, which sounds consistent with all the previous details. : @UniverseIce Therefore, the question suddenly arose whether the model could not appear as the Samsung Galaxy Note 22 Ultra after all? But now it is clear that at the beginning of 2022 the Galaxy S22 Ultra will continue the tradition of the Galaxy ...

Samsung Galaxy S22: Further disappointment confirmed

Image
Will the Galaxy S22 be a real disappointment? Samsung saves in another area where you should definitely not use the red pencil in this class and especially with regard to the iPhone 13 Pro. It's about the size of the battery and the associated battery life. Samsung Galaxy S22: Smaller battery confirmed Samsung has already made compromises with the Galaxy S21, which have ensured that the smartphone sells significantly worse than its predecessor. Now SamMobile confirms that the company would like to save on the Galaxy S22 as well. This time it hits the battery. While a 4,000 mAh battery is still installed in the Galaxy S21, only a 3,700 mAh battery will be used in the Galaxy S22 . This is only 300 mAh less, but the runtime is also noticeably shorter. This small difference could ultimately determine whether you can get through the day with the Galaxy S22 or not. Samsung recently enlarged the batteries in its smartphones. Now you are doing exactly the opposite of Apple. The entire...
