Yesterday, Samsung confirmed that the next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on 9th February where it will launch its next-generation Galaxy S22 series flagship smartphones. However, rumors have surfaced that the Galaxy S22 Ultra deliveries might be delayed for up to 3 months due to high demand.
According to tipster Dohyun Kim, Samsung is expecting the demand for their flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra to be considerably higher than their production yield, which could leave some customers hanging for up to 3 months before the device can be delivered to them.

The tipster has claimed to get this information from Samsung representatives. Kim did not reveal any information about the said “production yield” issue, but it might be due to the ongoing global chip shortage that has been plaguing multiple industries around the globe for more than a year now.
Earlier this month, Samsung began the reservation process of the upcoming Galaxy S22 series smartphones which offers perks in form of special offers like a $50 credit. It may be that the customers around the globe reserved more S22 Ultra devices than Samsung had expected leading to this concern.
A previous report from Dohyun Kim revealed that this time around, the majority of regions will be receiving the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 variant of the Galaxy S22 series devices, which might have also have played a role in causing these alleged supply issues. However, skeptics have stated that the rumors might just be a way for Samsung to generate hype for their upcoming devices.
