Samsung Galaxy S22 could be the lineup’s most selling phone
Rumors revealed that the Galaxy S22 series will be released in December 2021 or January 2022, while a recent report suggests Samsung hopes the standard Galaxy S22 will account for more than half of the series’ sales. It’s the first time when the company has clearly stated its sales expectations for a certain version.
Samsung expects heavy Galaxy S22 sales
According to the South Korean media outlet TheElec, Samsung expects that sales of the base variant of the Galaxy S22 will account for 50% to 60% of the total sales of the series. At the same time, the Galaxy S22+ could account for 20% of the total series, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra will only account for 20% to 30%.
To be mentioned, the Galaxy S20 accounts for 40% of S20 series sales, S20+ accounts for 40% to 45%, and S20 Ultra only accounts for 10% to 15%. If we talk about the S21 series, the Galaxy S21 accounts for 40% of the series’ sales, while S21+ and S21 Ultra each account for 30%.

Aside from this, the report also suggests that the Korean tech giant has lowered the overall sales expectations of the Galaxy S22 series from 30 million units of the Galaxy S21 series to 20 million units. We don’t know the reason behind less sales expectations, but the chip shortage could be forcing Samsung.
Galaxy S22 Ultra with S Pen + Slot
Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra is expected to be equipped with a Super AMOLED display with a center punch-hole cutout. The phone also has four rear cameras with periscope telephoto, and its lens module adopts an irregular design, which is highly recognizable. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra can be used with the S Pen, which can be placed on the left side of the phone.

Samsung Galaxy S25 to feature Magnetic Cases with Qi2 charging
Samsung is ready to introduce a new type of case for the upcoming Galaxy S25 series. Leaked details from a Finland retailer show that Magnetic Cases will be available for the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
As per the information, the Magnetic Cases for the Galaxy S25 series will work with Qi2 wireless charging. The cases will be available in transparent color for all three models. These cases will not only support wireless charging but also align magnetically with Qi2-compatible chargers.
A recent report claimed that the Samsung Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra will support Qi2. This means that these upcoming Samsung phones will be able to charge wirelessly as Qi2 features magnetic alignment. Now, the new Magnetic cases leak again shows the Qi2 support for the Galaxy S25 series.
Qi2 is a new standard for wireless charging, and it includes a feature called Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which helps align the phone perfectly with wireless chargers. It also supports magnetic accessories like cases, wallets, and pop sockets, which can attach to your phone easily.
Samsung is expected to include Qi2 support in its upcoming S series, which would make these cases more convenient for those who use magnetic accessories. However, there’s a limitation for charging speed which is 15W.
The wireless charging speed is slower compared to the 25W and 45W wired charging speeds these phones are expected to support. The Galaxy S25 will reportedly support 25W fast charging, while the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra could charge even faster at 45W. Stay tuned for more information.
