Samsung, like almost all phone makers, is gradually increasing the size of its phones; in 2015, the company's flagship device had a 51-inch display, but last year's Galaxy S21, after a steady bi-annual inflation, started at 62 inches Starting with
With next year's Samsung Galaxy S22, both the Galaxy S22 and S22 Pro/Plus will be downsized to 606" and 655", respectively, and the company appears to be trying to reverse this The Galaxy S22 Ultra is a replacement for the Galaxy Note 22 except for the name, and is set to retain its 681-inch frame
The raw numbers don't give us a picture of what it will look like when held in the hand However, the leaker Ice Universe gave us something to put the three models into perspective: what appears to be a screen protector for each model, showing how they would look side by side
The vanilla Galaxy S22 certainly looks noticeably smaller than the other two, reminiscent of the 2019 58-inch Samsung Galaxy S10e
Do people want smaller phones? Well, it's a bit of a gamble, given that even Apple is struggling to shift to mini versions of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, which apparently won't exist as a form factor in the next generation
But this isn't really that big of a screen shrink If the rumors are correct, that would mean a shrinkage of 014" and 015", respectively It may seem a little different, but it won't be noticeable unless both generations of phones are placed next to each other
Otherwise, the screen protectors confirm what we've heard before: very thin bezels and cutouts for the hole-punch cameras are on all three This means that the underwhelming under-display camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will not be on this Galaxy S line Also, the Galaxy S22 and S22 Pro/Plus both have flat displays, but the Galaxy S22 Ultra is slightly curved, giving it a more premium look
Meanwhile, another leaker, Rodent950, appears to have obtained camera lens protectors for all three models
Interestingly, the "Ultra" version retains the "P" shape seen in early leaks However, it is unlikely that this will be reflected in the phone itself, with the latest Jon Prosser leak showing a series of circles rather than the divisive "P" outline
Update: Roland Moore-Coyer predicts that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will be the best Galaxy Note ever
