Samsung Galaxy S22 series: design reminiscent of Galaxy Note, with a version using Snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor, very powerful upgraded camera
Galaxy S22 series is one of Samsung‘s most exposed product lines, even the genuine ones are “bored” and don’t want to keep it a secret anymore and advertise before the launch date! As of today, they have been officially launched at the Unpacked 2022 event and were quickly available here.
The early disclosure also does not reduce the “hot” of the Galaxy S22 trio of smartphones when all contain the upgrades expected by users, especially with the Galaxy S22 Ultra version.
Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus: Continuing the S-series legacy
In the set of 3 released, 2 products with somewhat more familiar designs are Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. We still have smartphones with beveled edges and camera clusters that are attached to the chassis to create a very typical design of the Galaxy S series.
The biggest change in exterior design lies in the fact that the S22 and S22 Plus both used frosted glass backs instead of plastic in the two products last year. The company’s use of plastic on high-end products has caused a lot of controversies because this is a material commonly found on low- and mid-range models, and has now been resolved on the S22 series. The edges are made of aluminum that Samsung calls Armored Aluminum, which promises to be highly durable during economical use.
Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus will own 2x Dynamic AMOLED screens with FullHD + resolution of 120Hz with sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.6 inches, respectively. These are flat screens, not curved at the edges, and have an Infinity-O cutout to place the 10MP f/2.2 selfie camera in the center.
The camera cluster of the device has been upgraded with the main camera of 50MP f/1.8 OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 3x 10MP f/2.4 zoom camera with OIS stabilization.
Besides size, S22 and S22 Plus will also have a difference in rechargeable battery system when the smaller version will have a 3,700 mAh battery with 25W charging, while the S22 Plus has a large 4,500 mAh battery with faster-charging technology. with a capacity of 45W. However, like the S21-series, the device will be sold without a dock and charging cord, so users will have to use their own accessories or buy more.
The last configuration but no less interesting is the processor inside this duo. Instead of continuing to provide in some markets with the “homegrown” version of the Exynos chip, as usual, this year users will enjoy a version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, specifically the powerful Snapdragon 8 gen 1 version. most today.

Galaxy S22 Ultra: Galaxy Note “reborn”
It seems that the attention of the media and users in the past time has been focused on the Galaxy S22 Ultra when this will be a completely different product compared to the previous S20 and S21 Ultra. But perhaps “strange but familiar”, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the rebirth of the Galaxy Note series when it has a square design and the S Pen is placed in the body.
As usual, this will be the largest model in the Galaxy S22 trio, with a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with Galaxy S22 Ultra+ resolution and 120Hz high refresh rate. The screen has a small Infinity-O dot to house the high-resolution 40MP f/2.2 front camera and is slightly curved at the 2 edges to increase aesthetics.
As mentioned, the device possesses a design very similar to the previous Galaxy Note series, with the edges being squared instead of rounded like the S22/S22 Plus duo as well as its predecessor S21 Ultra.
The design of the camera cluster attached to the edge of the device is also gone, the lens systems are placed directly on the back. The rear camera cluster includes 4 units, including a 108MP f/1.8 high-resolution main camera, a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera with a 120-degree viewing angle, a 3x 10MP f/2.4 zoom camera, and a 10x 10MP periscope camera.
Shoot function optical zoom, electronic zoom, or computer stacking mixture form a qualified 100x optic focal length when the S22 Ultra phone’s present blur elimination characteristic activation is reintroduced with the support of the Samsung Zoom function, as an effective anti-blur effect.
Some of the camera’s other photography and video recording features include Auto tracking (automatically zooming in on a photo to follow any person in the video), better night photography with Nightography, and video recording on the front camera as well. and after (Director’s view), 8K high-resolution recording and the ability to take portraits with advanced depth-sensing technology, correcting the light after the shot is taken.
Externally designed like the Note, the Note’s most distinctive feature is the S Pen that is also “borrowed” by the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Despite having a battery with a large capacity of up to 5000 mAh, Samsung still found the space to put the S Pen in the body, no longer had to use a special case, and bought a new version of the S Pen similar to the S21 & Ultra too.
It follows the S22 and S22 Plus, much like the S22 Ultra, which uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor in all its features but is available in a version with more RAM of 12GB and 32GB or more internal memory up to 1TB.
