Update: New rumors claim that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and S22 Plus will feature the brightest displays ever, with both models set to achieve a peak brightness of 1,750 nits.

According to the latest leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S22 may feature a unique and impressive display.

Ice Universe, a Twitter tipster, claims that the display of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the top model in the rumored upcoming flagship smartphone series, will be the brightest Samsung has ever produced. From their tweets, it appears that this display will not be sold to other companies.

Ice Universe specifically mentions peak brightness in their tweet, which was measured using a full white display and is unlikely to be encountered normally while using the phone. However, higher peak luminance means higher typical luminance, which makes the numbers more meaningful when consumers are comparing the intensity of different screens.

Samsung's brightest OLED mobile display to date was the Galaxy S21 Ultra at 1,500 nits. So while Ice Universe does not mention a brightness figure, we can assume, given what they claim, that the Galaxy S22 Ultra's display will exceed 1,500 nits.

And this bright screen will reportedly be available only for the Gaalxy S22 Ultra. Samsung Display is one of several companies that make up Samsung as a whole, which sells its technology to many other companies and smartphone makers, but also retains the technology for its own use. Therefore, if Ice Universe's tip is on target, such a situation could unfold with the Galaxy S22.

Speaking of screens, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to feature a 6.8-inch panel of the same size as the Galaxy S21 Ultra, but the frame may be smaller overall; the Galaxy S21 Ultra has a QHD resolution and 120Hz Given the Galaxy S21 Ultra's QHD resolution and 120Hz dynamic refresh rate, it makes sense that the Galaxy S22 Ultra would share these specs, as the Galaxy S22 Ultra could rank as high as the Galaxy S21 Ultra in the Best Smartphones ranking.

Except for the display.

Aside from the display, the main rumor about the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the possibility of using the built-in S Pen stylus. The Galaxy S21 Ultra was the first time Samsung gave Galaxy S users the option to use the stylus, but only as an optional accessory that could not be stored in the phone itself.

Another major leaked feature is the new "water-drop" rear camera design, which removes the camera block familiar from past generations of Galaxy S's and embeds each lens individually on the back of the phone. Unfortunately, however, the camera that is expected to appear on the Galaxy S22 Ultra appears to be essentially identical to the one on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

In addition to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung is expected to sell two other models: the basic Galaxy S22 and the new Galaxy S22 Pro, which will replace the Galaxy S21 Plus. Overall, the Galaxy S22 is expected to be powered by either the Snapdragon 895 or Exynos 2200 chipset, depending on where it is purchased.

But when can we expect to see this phone, since it has essentially been a year since the Galaxy S21 series debuted, it would be natural to assume January 2022. However, there is also discussion of the possibility of a December reveal, which would give Samsung an earlier start against recent rival phones like the iPhone 13 and Google Pixel 6.
