Happy New Year everyone!

Ok, I know it is still a little early to be starting this thread since we are still weeks away from Unpacked announcement.

Rumour has it that Oceania region might be getting the Snapdragon version this time around:

Judging from tweets (which were subsequently deleted) from know leakster IceUniverse about the disappointing performance of the new Exynos 2200 CPU, this move may be a good thing.

I'm actually not worried which chip. All I want to know is will it have integrated pen and more than 10x optical zoom. If no to both then....

With all the leaks and renders left right and centre these past few weeks, I'd say the S-Pen slot is pretty much a done deal and set in stone, the official announcement will be a mere formality really.

Not sure about the 10x Optical zoom though...

Very exciting.

I'll be upgrading from the Note 9. It's ageing and it's time to be a pre-order customer again!

Snapdragon CPU, if rumours are correct, would be icing on the cake!

Ooops, sorry - 8 February.

I was doing something else involving other dates at the same time as replying.

The Galaxy Unpacked trailer makes it clear that this will be the combo S and Note phone by slamming the two device silhouettes together into one.

Well, I was warned to wait and didn't and ended up with an S21 Ultra, when I could have had this, with a S-Pen.

How annoying.

I've been more patient this time between drinks.

3.5 years since the Note 9. I finally can see without pixel peeping that the camera is no longer adequate.

Speed-wise I can't say it's slowing down so well down Sammy.

I'm in for the S22 Ultra. I've already bought screen protectors and covers from Ali in prep!

Which cover?.... Is there likely to be a magnet in the cover to to shut down the phone when the cover is closed? (Like in my S8+)

My first ever AM radio network connection was with a 1MHz AM crystal(OA91) radio receiver.

Sadly, i am likely to miss out on replacing my S20U this year since wifey has decided to replace her N9 with Z Fold3 5G, so no money for S22U, sigh....

You guys enjoy your pre-orders when available, I'll be cheering you on from the sideline with envy and drool 😭🤤

Hey guys, remember to register your interest to get $200 off pre-order on Samsung site.

No harm even if you plan to pre-order elsewhere.
