Samsung is gearing up for the official announcement of the Galaxy S22 series next week. However, the company is reportedly facing some issues that would delay when some phone models will arrive in stores.
The tech giant announced last week that the Galaxy S22 lineup would be unveiled in an Unpacked event on Wednesday, Feb. 9. So far, that is the only official schedule Samsung has confirmed, and some changes are reportedly happening behind the scenes.
Well-known leaker Jon Prosser was one of the first to report the Galaxy S22 launch date. In a new update this week, Prosser noted that Samsung is still planning on opening pre-orders for the three Galaxy S22 models on the same day of the Unpacked event.
However, the leaker reported that Samsung “has had a slight setback” because of the ongoing supply chain issues. While it is not expected to affect the rumored pre-order date, Prosser said it has changed when the Galaxy S22 models will arrive in stores.
Per the new information, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be available first on Friday, Feb. 25, which is the same release date Prosser reported for the entire smartphone series. However, the supply chain issues have reportedly affected the availability schedule of the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+. Both models are now expected to become available two weeks later, on Mar. 11.
While Prosser has been accurate in most of his release date leaks, the supply chain issues have made production and launch schedules quite unpredictable for many tech companies. So it is still advisable to take release date rumors with a grain of salt for now. Samsung will likely announce the official pre-order and release dates for all Galaxy S22 models at the event next week.
Despite the supply chain issues, Samsung was reportedly expecting to sell up to 33 million units of the three-device lineup. In a report from The Elec last December, the company was predicting it would ship 14 million Galaxy S22 units, 8 million Galaxy S22+ units, and 11 million Galaxy S22 Ultra units.
