Samsung’s Galaxy S22 lineup is expected to arrive sometime in the 1st quarter of 2022. A new report from Elec claims that Samsung is aiming for the standard Galaxy S22 model with a 6.1-inch screen to account for 50% to 60% of the total shipments for the series. The 6.6-inch Galaxy S22 + model aims to account for 20%, while the S22 Ultra is aimed at hitting 20% to 30% of total shipments.
ElecSources also confirm that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will really be able to house an S Pen, and it claims that “It is very likely that the Galaxy Note series will not launch in 2022.” We have already seen renditions of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and they confirm with rumors and leaks that the Galaxy S22 Ultra really wants the S Pen built-in. Should these reports (1,2) be correct, an S Pen integrated Galaxy S22 Ultra would mean that there is no need for Samsung to release a proper Note series.

Samsung is targeting 20 million production units before launch, which Elec notes is a conservative number. Samsung originally targeted to ship 26 million Galaxy S21 devices, but this was increased to 30 million units around the time of launch. This may be due to component failure.
Samsung’s Galaxy S20 lineup shipments consisted of 40% S20, 40% to 45% of S20 + and 10% to 15% of S20 Ultra. S21, S21 + and S21 Ultra accounted for 40%, 30% and 30% respectively.
