Samsung Galaxy S22 pre-order sales can strengthen smartphones in Japan
Previously, Samsung had targeted the Japanese smartphone market with the ‘Galaxy S22’. As Apple captures almost half of Japan’s smartphone market, the priority is whether the company can overcome Apple’s obstacles and achieve box office success.
Now, South Korean media is reporting that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is attracting a response from Japanese consumers. Recently, the company announced that it had achieved a 50 percent increase in pre-sales before the official launch of the Galaxy S22 series in Japan.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series was officially launched in Japan on the 21st by Japanese carriers such as KDDI and NTT DoCoMo and pre-sold for two weeks from the 7th to the 20th before its release.
Unlike in Korea, with the exception of the Galaxy S22 Plus model, two models, the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy S22, have been released in Japan. In this pre-sale, it was found that the Galaxy S22 Ultra with S Pen is getting a good response. Samsung is expected to grow to become the second-largest market share in Japan.
According to Strategy Analytics, a market research firm, Apple (60%) will dominate the Japanese smartphone market in 2021. Sharp (10%) was in second place and Samsung (9.7%) was in third place. Samsung Electronics is strengthening its marketing in Japan.

The tipster praised Samsung’s decision to push the Stable version without any rush. Instead of becoming the first, the company should deploy a bug-free and stable One UI firmware, based on Android 14.
So far, Samsung released five major One UI 6 Beta updates to the Galaxy S23 series. The Beta build is available for Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21 series as well, which could turn into Stable by November this year.
The stable version of One UI 6 will be released at the end of October, which is good. I don’t want Samsung to rush to launch the stable version. I hope they can optimize it better.

Smartphone camera can’t be defined with just a higher number of megapixels. Other than a solid hardware configuration, software plays a key role, in bringing user-friendly features.

Users only need to shift the menu option on the camera to ‘other’. After that, you can see the words AR Zone automatically embedded in the top right menu option.

As it uses AR technology, the images you embed can follow moving objects. So, the experience of working with images on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will certainly be very different. Just by folding the phone in FlexMode, you can freely arrange emojis, stickers or create your best doodles with two hands.
