Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Teardown:
The YouTuber Jerryrigeverything first separates the rear panel of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and notes that the glass panel and the camera cutouts are all permanently fused together. Thus, if one of the glasses of camera lenses breaks, you need to replace the complete back panel.
He further removes the wireless charging coil and the plate covers from the upper and lower boards. The video shows off some of the speaker assembly and USB Type-C port cap to fix with water resistance. He also noted that the company is using extreme glue to place the battery and he needed to drop isopropyl alcohol into the battery compartment to loosen it.
The YouTuber says that other companies do not use this amount of glue, even Apple has pull-tabs that make the battery replacement procedure easier. The S-Pen is also covered by a thick plastic plate that is affixed by glue and closed. However, it keeps water out of the phone’s internals while allowing it to enter the slot.
He later reassembles the Galaxy S22 Ultra and noted that the phone doesn’t start immediately. However, he also noted that the display cable was slightly chopped with a blade while disassembling the back panel.

Samsung is rumored to debut an affordable foldable phone this year. The device is expected to be the Galaxy Z Flip FE, which could have some hardware downgrades, such as cover screen and processor, over the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Insider MaxJambor reports that the Galaxy Z Flip FE may not feature a full-view cover screen. The phone’s outer display would appear to be the same as the Z Flip 6. Meanwhile, Samsung is upgrading this aspect on the Z Flip 7.
In corrected renders, Onleaks showcased the potential full-view cover display of the Z Flip 7. The new phone’s cover panel will boast the two camera sensors inside. This change will bring the Z Flip 7 closer to the recent Moto Razr foldable.
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes with a 6.7-inch main display and a 3.4-inch cover display. The cover panel, meanwhile, isn’t a full-view screen but features a design identical to the Folder-icon, and the free space holds two camera sensors.
The Galaxy Z Flip FE may replicate the display specs of the Galaxy Z Flip 6. On the flip side, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be equipped with a 6.8-inch inner and a bigger cover display ranging around 4 inches.
Samsung could introduce new foldable phones sometime in July this year. The company hasn’t yet finalized the reveal timeline for the affordable model, however, it’s highly anticipated to join the Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 for a July launch.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra leak reveals new Telephoto and Periscope camera, crushes 3-lens talk
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could stick to a quad-camera setup. Recently, a rumor surfaced online claiming the prototype features one less camera sensor. However, a new yet credible input tells us a different story along with specs.
According to IceUniverse, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be equipped with an upgraded camera system. Samsung won’t reduce the number of sensors from its next flagship but will bring a more powerful setup for exceptional mobile photography.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera Specs (Rumored)
Primary Camera – 200-megapixel, variable aperture (f/1.4-f/4.0), OIS, a 23.6mm lens, 0.6um pixel size, and a 1/1.3-inch sensor
Ultrawide Camera – 50-megapixel, 1/2.52-inch sensor size, f/1.9 aperture, 13mm lens, 0.7um pixel size
Telephoto – 50-megapixel, 3.5x optical zoom, 1/3.15-inch sensor size, f/2.4 aperture, OIS, 80mm lens
Periscope – 50-megapixel, 8x optical zoom, 1/2.76-inch sensor, OIS, 0.64um pixel size, f/3.0 aperture, and an 184mm lens equivalent
The rumor suggests that Samsung might upgrade both zoom cameras on the S26 Ultra. The 3x Telephoto could be replaced with a new 3.5x solution, while the 5x Periscope could be replaced with a new 8x zoom sensor, both with 50MP resolution.
It will be a massive camera upgrade if the rumor turns out to be true.
Well, Samsung is currently preparing to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge, and the second half will be dedicated to new foldable phones and a Fan Edition of the Galaxy S25 series. The Galaxy S26 series will be introduced in early 2026.
Despite the news coming from a credible insider, take it as a pinch of salt. The evaluation is still underway, and prototype-level specs can’t be considered final. A 5500mAh battery and Bluetooth S Pen are also rumored for the S26 Ultra, read here.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
First unveiled at an Unpacked event earlier this year, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be released in April. After the first reveal, the company showcased the slim smartphone at the Mobile World Congress as well.
As the official launch nears, more relevant input has started to surface online. That said, the company may not make much hype for the device prior to its release, at least, as per the latest revelation suggests.
Galaxy S25 Edge to launch without an event
Leaker Anthony claims that Samsung will not hold an Unpacked event to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge. The smartphone will be launched quietly, with press release and product page will be made available at a same time.
Earlier, the company introduced the Galaxy A26, A36, and A56. Despite bringing three new phones, the company didn’t have a separate program. The announcement was made with a Newsroom post, and details have been shared.
Similarly, the Galaxy S25 Edge would debut in the smartphone market. Samsung has been refraining from such expenses for the last two years. Therefore, don’t expect a mega unveil show to be held for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has gained FCC certification for US release. The company is on the verge of introducing its slim flagship smartphone. After BIS, the S25 Edge has cleared another crucial certification hurdle.
According to the info, the Galaxy S25 Edge has received FCC nod ahead of its US release. The certification authority has listed the SM-S937U, SM-S937U1, and SM-S937B/DS, which are US locked, unlocked, and Global variants.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be just 5.8mm thick. The company may be shipping the device with Titanium alloy (the same as the S25 Ultra) and a Ceramic rear panel (rather than the typical Gorilla Glass Victus protection).
Samsung’s upcoming S25 Edge is said to be equipped with Snapdragon 8 Elite. There will be two storage variants of the phone, including a 256GB and a 512GB, paired with 12GB of RAM, making it capable of the Gemini Nano AI model.
The screen may measure 6.65 inches (flat), and it has a 200MP primary camera, a 12/50MP ultrawide camera, a 3900mAh battery with 25W fast charging, Android 15-based One UI 7, and seven years of software updates.
The Galaxy S25 Edge may be available in three Titanium colors, including Silver, IcyBlue, and JetBlack. The Korean tech giant may price it cleverly, putting it between the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra, starting at around $1100.
OLED with M14 material set is the most advanced mobile screens available at Samsung Display. This year, Apple is expected to utilize the Samsung Display-made M14 OLED panels in all the iPhone 17 series models.
Apple usually introduces the latest materials to its higher-end models first, then gradually rolls them out to lower-end versions. This year, the company is expanding the M14 material set to include the standard and Air models.
According to ETNews, Samsung Display will supply M14 OLED for all iPhone 17 models this year. Apple is set to introduce the new iPhone lineup in the second half of the year, bringing four models: Standard, Air, Pro, and Pro Max.
Screen Sizes:
- Standard – 6.1 inch
- Air – 6.6 inch
- Pro – 6.3 inch
- Pro Max – 6.9 inch
Samsung’s Display subsidiary is expected to have the lion’s share in OLED supply, which is estimated at 80 to 90 million units. Korea’s LG Display and China’s BOE would also be supplying OLED screens for the iPhone 17 series.
Apple first used the M14 OLEDs in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max last year. The best Samsung screens were also featured in Google’s Pixel 9 series. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 series still uses aged OLEDs with the M13 material set.
Samsung has significantly improved the Galaxy S25’s display experience over the S24 series, but it can’t match the hardware upgrade. The company should consider bringing its best OLED to next year’s flagship smartphones.
The M14 is considered the highest-performing OLED material set commercialized to date.
