FULL STORY ======================================================================

Theres not much about the Samsung Galaxy S22 range that hasnt been leaked at this point, and were largely down to small details such as screen brightness. But we now even have a good idea of what that might be for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus, alongside some other interesting details.

Leaker Ishan Agarwal has shared some renders and specs for the phone, in partnership with 91Mobiles , claiming among other things that the S22 Plus will support 45W fast charging.

This isnt the first time weve heard of the Galaxy S22 range getting that much charging power (up from 25W on the Samsung Galaxy S21 range), but recent
leaks suggested it would just be the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra that got this upgrade, so it will be good news if the Galaxy S22 Plus does as well.

Agarwal also claims that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus will have a maximum screen brightness of 1,750 nits. Thats up from 1,300 nits on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus , and would even have the 1,500 nits of the Galaxy S21 Ultra beat.

Other specs leaked here include a claim that the Galaxy S22 Plus will have an Exynos 2200 chipset in the UK, that it will have a 50MP main camera, a 4,500mAh battery (all of which has been rumored previously), and that it will weigh 195g, with the standard Galaxy S22 being 167g and the Galaxy S22 Ultra being 228g.

The renders (which are supposedly official) meanwhile dont show us much that we havent seen before, with the design being very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus.

In other Samsung news, leaker SuperRoader , who claims to be a former Samsung employee, has said that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will come in a version with 1TB of storage. That would be a first for the range but is something thats leaked previously . However, from the wording of the Tweet it sounds like this model might land a little later than others.

In replies, SuperRoader added that there will also be a model of the S22
Ultra with 16GB of RAM (which again weve heard before), and doubled down on his earlier claims that all countries will get the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset . Samsung decided to support 1TB for the only Galaxy S22 Ultra.However, the release date is unknown. Maybe... after Feb? January 15, 2022 See more

Since hes specifically talking about the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra here, its possible that he thinks some other models could get the Exynos 2200, but previously hed said none of them would which is at odds with the leak above from Ishan Agarwal.

So since theres disagreement on the chipset, wed be cautious about fully believing any claims there. As for the rest of these leaks, while its worth taking them with a pinch of salt, there arent any red flags. Analysis: 45W is good, but not great

Of all these leaks, the most interesting is arguably the suggestion that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus will have 45W charging. If it does, then theres a chance the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 will as well (along with the S22
Ultra, which is already rumored to), and thats a big upgrade on the 25W of their predecessors.

But its still not really competitive with most of Samsungs key rivals. The OnePlus 10 Pro for example offers 80W charging, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro has
120W charging.

Then again, 45W could end up being a good balance. Thats still very fast, and theres a risk of increased battery degradation with faster charging.

The real reason Samsung might not be in a hurry to catch up though is that
its very biggest rival Apple only offers speeds of up to 27W in the iPhone 13 range, and wed be surprised if the iPhone 14 range reached 45W. These are the best Samsung phones
