Samsung continues to share interesting details about the flagship Galaxy S22 family ahead of the presentation, which will take place on February 9th.

What was told

In the new press release South Korean manufacturer says that the Galaxy S22 smartphones use a new material in the production, made from recycled fishing nets thrown into the ocean. According to the company, about 640,000 tons of fishing nets are thrown into the ocean every year, which poses a serious threat to marine life, coral reefs and natural habitats.

True, which parts of the devices are made of this material is not specified. But, most likely, we will find out all these details during the official presentation.

"The use of this material marks another step in our 'Galaxy for the Planet' journey to minimize our environmental impact and promote a more sustainable lifestyle for the Galaxy community," Samsung said in a statement.
