Those leaks said Samsung will sell the new S Pen device as the Galaxy S22 Ultra instead of the Galaxy Note 22. Combining the Galaxy S and Note flagship product names also seemed possible.
Android 15 and One UI 7 will help, especially with live threat detection and tighter controls over installations, downloads and permission abuse. As such, the lack of a beta (if true) is manageable.
For all intents and purposes, it's basically a new Galaxy Note phone with the Galaxy S model name. It also comes with the superior cameras that Samsung traditionally reserved for its Galaxy S phones.
