Samsung Galaxy S22 series has arrived and it is big. The series comprises of three models dubbed as Galaxy S22, S22 Plus (or S22+), and S22 Ultra offering a myriad of specifications. Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top of the line model powered by a flagship processor, an amazing AMOLED panel with 120Hz variable refresh rate, and a 5,000mAh battery under the hood and has 5G connectivity among other flagship features. Here’s all you need to know about Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra specifications.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Display
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is truly a masterpiece with high-octane specifications. Starting with the display, Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra gets a 6.8-inch Edge QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz Super smooth refresh rate that can jump anywhere between 1 to 120Hz as needed. It has a 240Hz touch sampling rate when in game mode. The display reaches a peak brightness of up to 1750 nits offering brilliant picture quality.
Apart from that, the display has a vision booster and eye comfort shield that uses AI-based blue light control to make the display less strainful on the eyes. There’s a Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ on top which extends its resistance against falls and scratches.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Design
Samsung has surely picked up a rather different design for the Galaxy S22 Ultra which for those who might not have guessed it, is different from that of Galaxy S22/S22 Plus. The device looks more like a Note series phone and is the first device with a slot for the S Pen stylus, unlike the last-gen Galaxy S21 Ultra which didn’t have an accommodation for the S Pen.
The dimensions of the device are 77.9×163.3×8.9mm and the device weighs 229grams. Its design is premium with a punch-hole at the center of the top bezel of the front panel. This is followed by a quad-camera setup at the back without a camera bump.
Yes, Samsung has actually used a very raw design for the rear camera as the circular camera modules protrude a bit above the panel but that’s all, there’s no camera bump. The device has IP68 water and dust resistance under controlled test conditions.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Hardware & Software
The device will come up with two processors based on which region you can pick up from. This includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 SoC both of which are flagship cadre chipsets of 2022 made on a 4nm fabrication node. Both the chipsets sport a tri-cluster arrangement and are equipped with 5G tech, more about it later. Adreno 730 and Xclipse 920 take over the GPU section respectively.
Moving on, we have four storage variants equipped with UFS 3.1 internal storage and LPDDR5 RAM. The variants are 8GB+128GB, 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, and a 12GB+1TB variant available at your disposal. As it goes without saying, there’s no expandable memory onboard. However, the availability of the storage variants depends on the region.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra runs on Android 12-powered OneUI 4.1 out-of-the-box which makes it compatible with Android 13 through 15 for sure.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Camera
The camera setup has seen a lot of improvements on the S series of devices from Samsung. Galaxy S22 Ultra packs in a quad-camera setup that comprises a 108MP wide-angle primary sensor with Dual Pixel AF; a 12MP ultra-wide snapper with 120degree FoV and an aperture of f/2.2.
Next up, there’s a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 10MP telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom with 36degree and 11degree FoV respectively. Finally, there’s a 40MP selfie shooter with an 80degree FoV and f/2.2 aperture. The rear camera assembly arrives with an alluring 100x Space Zoom capability with 10x optical and 100x digital zoom.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: Battery
