The upcoming season of high-end Android smartphones is approaching with the launch of US-based Qualcomm in December. It will be there, in its annual agreement, in the paradise islands of Hawaii, where we will meet the next generation processor -possibly the Snapdragon 898- that should be present in the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Xiaomi Mi 12.
These will be the first Android smartphones to hit the market in 2022 already with the next generation chipset. It will be, therefore, from the presentation of this processor that we will have concrete data on the presentation events and dates of arrival to the market for both range caps in question. Until then, however, we have particularly suggestive information.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 will be the “heart” of the next generation
Evoking the experience of last year, the current generation, we saw Xiaomi arrive first. By the way, the Mi 12 was officially presented on December 28, 2020 in an effort to get ahead of the other competitors. This year, according to filter The Chinese manufacturer Ice Universe should repeat the feat and unveil the Xiaomi Mi 12.
Shortly after, according to the same source, Samsung is expected to present the Galaxy S22 generation in mid-January.
Your go-to-market date is now set to the day February 1, 2022. Note that previously the filter suggested the arrival of this smartphone in late December this year. Now, however, he readjusts his predictions.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 generation may hit stores on February 1
The next generation of Samsung Galaxy smartphones is expected to introduce significant design changes. More specifically in the rear camera module, as it has been gradually spreading through the filter in question.
In particular for the top model, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, we may even have the needle S-Pen included in the body of the phone. That is, the structure of the phone may have a slot to store it, just like the Galaxy Note.
In addition, for next year Samsung should continue to bet on a diversification of the color schemes available for its phones. In fact, we will be able to witness the return of the “Burgundy Red” color scheme, among other hues.
The Xiaomi Mi 12 may arrive in December 2021
The Xiaomi Mi 12 smartphone can include a battery with a capacity of 4700 mAh, keeping the glass construction. On the other hand, in the largest phone, Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra, we have a 5,000 mAh battery for greater autonomy.
In both cases we will have support for fast charging up to 100 W, with the Xiaomi Mi 12, or simply Xiaomi 12 using a screen with rounded edges and without the hole for the front camera.
The back of the next Xiaomi smartphone can be built in ceramic, especially in the most exclusive models / editions, as the manufacturer was already used to.
Finally, this Xiaomi Mi 12 smartphone, or simply Xiaomi 12, should hit stores in mid-January. However, the current component shortage crisis may postpone this release until February 2022.
