This year, fans of Samsung's massive Galaxy Note phones were let down. Instead of releasing a new version, the company chose to focus entirely on a different flagship, the foldable Galaxy Z Fold 3.
Note collectors, on the other hand, may be ecstatic. The Galaxy S series is set to replace the Note, according to leaked renders of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra circulating on Twitter and Digit.in. The S22 Ultra has a boxy design with a curved display, a large camera bump, and, most importantly, a S Pen slot built-in.
According to the renders and leaked product details, the S22 Ultra will be 163.2 x 77.9 x 8.9 mm in size and 10.5mm thick, including the odd camera bump.
The rear-facing camera module's housing, which appears to be pieces from a Tetris game in progress, is perhaps the most peculiar aspect of the leak. Except for a rectangular sliver that drops down to house a fourth lens, the module is mostly square. One of the four will most likely be a periscope lens. There's also a laser autofocus cutout and possibly an infrared sensor, though this is just a rendering.
With the Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 pushing the Note lineup to the sidelines, a Note-like S22 could appeal to those who don't want a foldable phone.
As more Android phones become foldable, a rebooted Note—even if rebranded—could appeal to Samsung's devoted fans with a massive screen, powerful processor, and built-in stylus, without the headaches of experimental tech that may not be as durable as a power user requires.
