Like the OnePlus 10 Pro, the Galaxy S22 (seen here as a render) is likely to run on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset. Samsung has already confirmed that we'll see new Galaxy phones in February.

Specifically, the latest rumor has the Galaxy S22 debuting at the Samsung Unpacked 2022 event on February 8 or February 9 with the phone itself shipping before the end of the month. There's also the small matter of the Samsung Galaxy S22, which is expected to arrive in a month's time. Second, the chip shortage that's dogged the electronic industry for most of 2021 is continuing into this year, which could also impact release dates for things like phones. Potentially that could impact production, possibly delaying OnePlus' launch plans.

First, the Covid-19 pandemic is ongoing, with the Omicron variant of the disease causing a surge in cases. Two factors could impact rollout plans for this year. Given the pattern of release dates for recent OnePlus flagships, you'd expect that March release schedule to continue - assuming OnePlus doesn't continue trying to move up the release of its phone. Gradually, that date has crept forward, with the OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro debuting in March a year ago. Five years ago, OnePlus released its flagship phone in late June.
