The numbers seem to agree with Samsung and the choice of delete the Galaxy Note for condense them within the range Galaxy S. After all, the numbers published by Ice Universe are eloquent, even on the direction taken in recent years by the Galaxy Note, which went from 10 million a year for the Galaxy Note 8 to not even 8 million of those that will go down in history as the latest Notes ever Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra.
The decline was steady, up to the Note 20 which went down from its predecessors to a greater extent:
- Galaxy Note 8: 10.3 million of specimens per year
- Galaxy Note 9: 9.6 million
- Galaxy Note 10 / Plus: 9.5 million
- Galaxy Note 20 / Ultra: 7.5 million.
The Galaxy Note 8’s spike, writes Ice Universe in response to a Weibo user, can be traced back to the Galaxy Note 7 battery woes, which kept stylus fans dry for a year. From the 7.5 million of the last Notes we pass to 10.9 million units a year of Galaxy S22 Ultra that is the new Notes. These are estimates, the informant hastens to specify, but they are in any case symptomatic of renewed attention from the public.
THE SNAPDRAGON HANDICAP 8 JAN 1 / EXYNOS 2200
Even if i problems they are not missing. On Twitter, Ice Universe notes that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 that the three Galaxy S22s are equipped with will not be remembered over the years for efficiency (not that the Exynos 2200 they arrive in Europe with does any better, as our comparison showed), and it’s the reason many manufacturers are updating their flagships with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 which should be better. precisely in terms of thermal management.
Only Samsung S22 has no new replacement, Fold4 cannot replace S22 Ultra. So I say Samsung S22 and consumers are the most unlucky. They will continue to “enjoy” the heat and stutter of the Snapdragon 8 all year long.

The fact, Ice Universe points out, is that Samsung has historically not reserved one for the Galaxy S mid-cycle update, and the Galaxy Z Fold 4 itself which will be official in days together with the Z Flip 4 does not constitute an update, being part of a family of different top of the range with different characteristics. So Galaxy S22 Ultra will have to carry the limits of Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200 with it until 2023. Despite this, compared to the Notes, it seems to be doing great.
