Samsung recently announced that the Galaxy Unpacked conference will be held on February 9, and the Galaxy S22 series flagship phones are expected to be released at that time. The most eye-catching of them is believed to be the Galaxy S22 Ultra, because this S Pen-enabled phone is considered to be the successor to the Galaxy Note 20, but this top flagship may be hard to come by.
South Korean whistleblower Dohyun Kim recently said that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be severely in short supply, and the production capacity will be even more severe by the Galaxy Z Fold3, and consumers will have to wait 3 months before they can start. The whistleblower said that the news came from within Samsung, but did not disclose what caused the production problem, which is estimated to be related to the global shortage of chips. Although the Galaxy S22 series has not yet been announced, some markets have already opened pre-orders earlier, and the United States has even given out $50 worth of credit to pre-order consumers to purchase Samsung products.
As a leader in the mobile phone industry, Samsung itself is also a supplier of chips and parts. Some foreign media have questioned that the whistleblower’s claim may just be to build momentum for Samsung, hoping that consumers can order the highest-priced Galaxy S22 Ultra as soon as possible.
