The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is an combination of the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note series, taking both the series’ features. While focusing on the cameras and the performance, the smartphone has the Galaxy Note’s S Pen, which this time, has a dedicated slot. Recall that the Galaxy S21 Ultra was the first Galaxy S phone to get a stylus but dedicated slot. The S Pen ensures around 70% lower latency as compared to the one found with last year’s S21 Ultra.
As per design too, the phone gets a Note-like boxy design but features a rear camera hump akin to the Galaxy S21 phones.
The S22 Ultra has a big 6.8-inch Edge QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which supports a 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz touch sampling rate, and a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. It comes in both Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset variants, both of which will be available in different regions. It is paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, which makes an entry after a couple of years.
As for optics, much like the previous Ultra models, boasts some impressive features. There are quad rear cameras, including a 108MP main camera with OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera with 120-degree FOV, and two 10MP telephoto lenses with up to 10x optical zoom. The front camera is rated at 40MP, much like its predecessor. There are various attractive camera features in tow too, including an advanced night mode, advanced Super Clear Glass lens for flare-free shots, 100x zoom, access to the Expert Raw app for in-camera editing tools, and loads more.
The device, much like its massive screen space, has a big 5,000mAh battery, which was also seen on the S21 Ultra. However, this time, it supports 45W fast charging. It runs Samsung One UI 4.1 based on Android 12.
The new member of the Galaxy S family gets Wi-Fi 6E, 5G support, IP68 water and dust resistance, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and more.
