Upfront, the phone is said to have a 6.8-inch 2X Dynamic AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. There will be a hole-punch cutout at the top-center to house the 40MP front-facing camera sensor.

The phone will have a 108MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultrawide lens and two 10MP telephoto camera sensors. Other aspects could include IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, support for 45W fast charging and 15W wireless charging, AKG-tuned dual speakers with Dolby Atmos, and Android 12 OS.

On the other hand, both the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22+ will have similar camera features. They will come with a 50MP primary camera with a 1/1.57″ sensor size and an f/1.8 aperture.
