Samsung Galaxy S22 series has been a part of leaks and rumours for quite a while now. The South Korean tech major was earlier speculated to introduce the series during the Consumer Electronics Show 2022 (CES) that wrapped up last week. The new Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to include the vanilla Galaxy S22 variant, alongside Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra models. Now, a new leak suggests that the much-awaited flagship series will be launched on February 8 during a Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event. Separately, Galaxy S22 Ultra's S Pen is tipped to get a major upgrade.

As per a report by Korean publication DDaily, Samsung will host its Galaxy Unpacked 2022 event virtually on February 8 and will unveil the Galaxy S22 series during the event. The pre-registration for the purchase of the Galaxy S22 models is said to start on February 9. The shipping of pre-ordered units will reportedly begin from February 21, while the Galaxy S22 series handsets are said to go on regular sale starting February 24.

Separately, a known tipster, Zaryab Khan (@xeetechcare) shared some supposed specifications of the Galaxy S22 Ultra on Twitter. According to the tipster, the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra's S Pen will have an input response time of 2.8ms. As per the leak, it is a significant reduction and almost 3x lower latency from the 9ms latency on the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
