Samsung Galaxy is a line of mobile computing devices created, produced, and sold by Samsung Electronics. The product line includes high-end smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S series, tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab series, tablets and phablets with the added functionality of a stylus such as the Samsung Galaxy Note series, the foldable Samsung Galaxy Z series, and smartwatches such as the first version of the Samsung Galaxy Gear, with later versions dropping the Galaxy branding until the release of the Samsung Galaxy Watch in 2018. The Samsung Galaxy Watch is the company’s first wearable device.

The Android operating system developed by Google is used by Samsung Galaxy smartphones, including a customized user interface known as One UI (with previous versions known as Samsung Experience and TouchWiz). The Galaxy TabPro S, on the other hand, is the first Galaxy-branded Windows 10 gadget to be introduced at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show. Galaxy Watch is the first Galaxy-branded wristwatch since the release of later versions of the Gear smartwatch from 2014 to 2017. It is the first Galaxy-branded smartwatch since the release of later iterations of the Gear smartwatch from 2014 to 2017. In 2020, Samsung will introduce the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2-in-1 laptop, which will run on the Chrome OS and be part of the Galaxy branding. The Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 was introduced in 2021, and it is the successor of the Galaxy Chromebook.

Over the Horizon

“Over the Horizon” is the distinctive sound for Samsung smartphone devices, first heard on the Galaxy S II in 2011. It was initially used on the Galaxy S II in 2011. In 2011, it was created by Joong-sam Yun, and it can be found in the music library of most Samsung smartphones that have been produced since then. “Beyond Samsung” was the trademark music track of Samsung before 2011, while “Samsung Tune” was the default ringtone on all Samsung Android sharing smartphones before 2011. Additionally, the sound is utilized as the phone’s default ringtone, and the sound is played when the phone is turned on or off and as a notification sound. While the core components of the six-note melody have remained unchanged since its start, the product line has expanded to include renditions of the tune in diverse genres as the product line has grown.

Samsung produced the first two versions of the song in-house; however, the third and fourth versions were produced by external artists. In addition to the two symphonic arrangements by Jamie Christopherson in 2013 and 2015, the Swedish band Dirty Loops performed an all-piano arrangement in 2016, a crossover by Grammy winner Jacob Collier in 2017, an orchestral arrangement by Icelandic composer Pétur Jónsson in 2018, a classical crossover by Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price in 2019 performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, a nature-inspired version in 2020, and an all-piano composition by Korean pianist Yiruma. In addition, it has been covered by several well-known musicians who have published their versions of the song and their versions of the song, including Quincy Jones, Icona Pop, Yiruma, Suga of BTS, and many K-pop singers.

Galaxy S22 Ultra & Tab S8 Ultra

The Samsung Galaxy S22 series Unpacked event is only a few days away, and fresh photographs of the phones and the South Korean company’s next premium tablet have been released today. A real-world photograph of two Galaxy S22 versions and the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra has been uploaded by lanzuk, who has a good track record for Samsung leaks. The Tab S8 Ultra, the largest model in the series, will be distinguished by its notched appearance, which we can see right away.

According to reports, the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup will include the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S8, the 12.4-inch Tab S8 Plus, and the 14.6-inch Tab S8 Ultra. The Galaxy Tab S8 will be available in three sizes: 11-inch, 12.4-inch, and 14.6-inch. According to purported marketing literature, a 12MP main camera and a 120° ultra-wide sensor are housed inside the notch on the Ultra model. We also appear to be looking at the front of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and since this image was also featured in an earlier leak, there isn’t anything new to see here. However, it is further confirmation that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a boxy design and that burgundy will be one of the available color options for the device. It will also be available in several colors, including black, white, and green.

Another Galaxy S22 model appears to be shown on the rear of the images, but it’s unclear whether this is the 6.1-inch Galaxy S22 or the 6.6-inch Galaxy S22 Plus. Both models are expected to have the same vertically stacked rear camera setup, including a 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 10MP telephoto lens. According to reports, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be the first to delete the camera bulge. In addition, sensors will be put directly on the back of the phone rather than on the sides. If you’re looking for camera specs, the phone will almost certainly have the same ones as last year’s S21 Ultra (108MP main, 12MP ultra wide, and two 10-megapixel telephoto units with 3x and 10-fold zoom). Still, some enhancements you can look forward to that could make this phone the best camera smartphone of the year.

Finally, we look at the packaging that the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be delivered in. The S Pen, the USB Type-C to USB Type-C connection, and the Sims ejector tool will supposedly be included in the package, but I don’t anticipate headphones or a charger to be included. Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S22 series on February 9th, and the new phones are expected to be priced at the same level as their predecessors, which means the pricing will begin at $799 for the base model. If you are convinced by what the Galaxy S22 is said to bring to the table, you should consider placing an order for it right now.
