The launch could take place in January, at the earliest

Samsung is getting ready to launch the Galaxy S22 early next year, and according to a new report, the South Korean company has now started the mass production of the first parts.

In other words, the firm is now making good progress towards the full mass production of the Galaxy S22, and this makes perfect sense given the device is projected to see the daylight as soon as January.

The timing seems just about right, especially as Samsung previously took the wraps off the Galaxy S21 in January as well.

New Galaxy S models previously launched in February, with the sales then kicking off in March. But this year, Samsung has changed its release calendar to bring the Galaxy S22 to the market earlier than before, so the unveiling now takes place in January, while sales start in February.

The expected specifications

Samsung Galaxy S22 is expected to come with a significant hardware upgrade, including a 120Hz Super AMOLED display and improved cameras.

Just like before, Samsung is expected to use different processors for the models it launches across the world, with Europeans likely to get the Exynos chip whereas the American versions of the device could be sold with a Snapdragon processor.

More specifically, the U.S. version of the Galaxy S22 will be powered by a Snapdragon 898 processor, while the other models are likely to be fitted with an Exynos 2200 chipset.

Needless to say, Samsung has remained completely tight-lipped on everything related to the Galaxy S22, so you should take everything with a healthy dose of skepticism. But of course, the timing makes perfect sense, especially because the new model is projected to launch in January, just like its predecessor.

The sales should then kick off a few weeks later.
