2021 had some exciting mobile devices, but 2022 promises to be even better as many major smartphone manufacturers offer upgrades to their customer favourite devices. Other brands are promising entirely new innovations. Either way, this upcoming year is set to be an exciting time for smartphone users.

Here are the most anticipated phones going into 2022:

1. Samsung Galaxy S22
Samsung rarely disappoints with its mobile phones, and the Galaxy S22 is something worth looking forward to. This device is an upgrade on the 2021’s S21, with some tweaks that improve user experience. The phone will likely hit the market in January or February 2022, about a year after the S21 release. While it’s too early to know the actual price, the Galaxy S22 is expected to cost about $800 USD. The S22 will bring some improvements to the S21’s appearance and camera, with an exterior that comes in black, green, white and rose gold options.

2. iPhone X Fold
Apple has stayed behind in the folding phone game, but this may change in 2022 with the expected release of iPhone X Fold. Apple has kept most information on its folding phones a secret, but the patents filed over the last few years show the manufacturer’s first foldable phone is close to hitting the market. Some reports claim the phone will fold in the middle like a book, while others hint at two separate displays connected by hinges. The foldable iPhone may feature an 8 inch display when unfolded. Unfortunately, the foldable iPhone will be on the pricey end, and will likely cost upwards of $1,500 USD.

3. iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro
The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro bring the best of Apple with a powerful camera system, highly responsive display, powerful chip and enhanced battery life. The iPhone 13 Pro comes with a 6.1 inch display in gold, graphite, silver and sierra blue colors. The price starts at $799 for the iPhone 13 and $999 for the Pro.

4. Surface Duo 2
The Surface Duo 2 is 2022’s definition of endless possibilities. The phone has two screens that offer an 8.3 inch display, allowing you to multitask in a more immersive way. It supports 5G for speedy connections, providing a no-lag experience and quicker load times for greater productivity. When folded, the Duo 2 features a 5.8 inch display that’s useful if you don’t need the full screen. It supports a 4449mAh dual battery to keep you connected all day. Available at $1,499.99 USD, it comes with dynamic triple-lens, including 16Mp ultra-wide, 12MP telephoto and 12MP wide cameras, and 12MP front-facing camera for all your photography needs.

5. Google Pixel 6 Pro
Google has announced its most advanced smartphone yet, the Google Pixel 6 Pro. The phone comes in three colors, stormy black, sorta sunny and cloudy white. The $899 USD smartphone features an advanced pixel camera that captures brilliant colors and details, Titan M2 security guaranteeing data safety and Google Tensor, a custom-built processor for powerful performance. The phone’s primary camera sensor captures more light for richer images and more accurate night sight photos. Finally, the telephoto lens offers 4x optical zoom, with the super-res zoom providing up to 20x zoom.
