What's the story
Samsung is all set to launch its latest Galaxy S22 series of flagship smartphones globally on February 9.

If the demand and supply chain disrupts, then Samsung may take about three months to deliver the handset.

However, like the Galaxy Z Fold3, the S22 Ultra may face delayed deliveries due to the ongoing chip shortage.
