Samsung switched to using the current year for their model numbers. S22 is the 2022 model.

Thanks for clearing this up. Last year I was shopping for used phones and looking at S8/S9, and getting very confused when I saw S21 starting to pop up. "How many of these did they make, anyway?"

Tangentially related, Reminds me of this: In Los Angeles there's a few very prominently displayed billboards at a shopping center for the Galaxy S4 that has somehow remained up [1]

S10 was the last of the old numbering scheme, they changed it in 2020 (with the S20).
