You may – understandably – have given up hope of seeing a Samsung Galaxy S22 FE. In any case, we’re now a yr on from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, and there are only a few rumors a few successor. Nonetheless, it appears this telephone may nonetheless be deliberate.
In keeping with @OreXda (opens in new tab) on Twitter, the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE is “almost confirmed” to be coming, however isn’t but licensed, which makes them assume it received’t land at Galaxy Unpacked 2023 on February 1, the place we’re set to see the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection.
In another tweet (opens in new tab) (through NotebookCheck (opens in new tab)) they declare we in all probability received’t see it in Q1 of this yr – that means it won’t launch earlier than April. We’d, nonetheless, take this with a pinch of salt – the supply hasn’t but leaked a lot, so we are able to’t say how correct or credible they’re.
Nonetheless, whereas we haven’t heard a lot in regards to the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE, one report from December urged it was nonetheless on the best way, and might use a brand new Exynos 2300 chipset. So @OreXda isn’t alone in considering this telephone may nonetheless land.
Evaluation: too late to make sense
It’s actually doable that the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE will nonetheless land, however whether or not it ought to is one other matter solely.
If it doesn’t launch till April (or later), then that might be nicely over a yr after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, and likewise at the least a few months after the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S23 collection.
A telephone with ‘S22’ within the title launching after the S23 will instantly sound dated, and it’ll presumably be a lesser gadget than the usual Samsung Galaxy S22, but might find yourself costing extra, as Samsung’s getting older flagship is usually diminished nowadays – and might be all of the extra so, as soon as the Galaxy S23 lands.
So, the Samsung Galaxy S22 FE might show a particularly arduous promote (not not like its predecessor). Samsung is perhaps higher off renaming it, so it at the least sounds much less dated, or scrapping it in favor of a Samsung Galaxy S23 FE just a few months later.
As issues stand, the Galaxy S22 FE will in all probability want a surprisingly low worth or unexpectedly high-end options to rank among the many greatest Samsung telephones.
