Is the Company Working on Preventing Further Leaks?

In other Samsung news, every year we know more and more about Samsung products that have not yet been released. Every year it is more and more difficult for the South Korean giant to keep its plans and developments secret. One of the latest leaks is the appearance on the network of photos of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The pictures confirmed the presence of a built-in stylus and an unusual design of the main camera. Naturally, the leak of Galaxy S22 Ultra photos did not go unnoticed by the company itself.

According to the authoritative insider Ice Universe, Samsung may undergo personnel purges. The company has launched an internal investigation to find the culprit in leaking information to a famous blogger and wants to punish him.

The International Data Corporation (IDC) has released statistics on the global smartphone market in the third quarter of this year. Shipments of smartphone devices have declined.

Also, between July and September inclusive, 331.2 million smartphones were sold globally. For comparison: a year earlier shipments were equal to 354.9 million units.
