Without a shadow of a doubt, the Samsung Galaxy S21 was one of the best phones of the year. But things move quickly in the world of the best Android phones – and thoughts have now turned to the release of the Samsung Galaxy S22.
With any luck, that means some exciting updates are inbound, including more jaw-dropping designs, hefty spec sheets, and a sizable serving of rumor-fueled excitement in the lead-up to next year's release. Here are 5 things I'm most excited about for Samsung's next flagship smartphone.
The best Samsung phones are known for their stellar image-capturing abilities and for pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved with smartphone cameras. The Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus offered, amongst other fantastic features, one of the best cameras ever seen on a smartphone – however, the Samsung Galaxy S22 could elevate this even further.
Several reliable leaks have reported that a possible newly-formed partnership with camera specialists Olympus could be the driving force behind a range of camera advancements in time for the Galaxy S22. Samsung hasn't revealed any concrete details or yet confirmed the link-up, which means the information should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, if other brands are anything to go by, then it doesn't seem implausible. OnePlus is an example of a phone manufacturer that has already partnered with Hasselblad to deliver a truly amazing camera system on the OnePlus 9 Pro, so it's exciting to think about the opportunities that an Olympus-Samsung collab could bring to the Galaxy S22's cameras.
