So, as the most expensive Android champion representative, what is special about the Samsung Galaxy S22 series?
The 8GB+256GB versions of the Galaxy S22 and S22+ are priced at 6299 yuan and 7899 yuan
Exterior design
Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ continue the exterior design of the previous generation of S21 series, but the armored aluminum border of the S22 series is wider, the back cover is no longer a 3D surface, and the thickness is also reduced from 7.9mm and 7.8mm to 7.6mm of the previous generation, and the weight is 167g and 195g respectively, which is lighter and thinner than the predecessor.
Differences between the two generations of S-series phones
Galaxy S22 Ultra in the design is closer to the early Note 20 Ultra, the rear lens module uses a micro-convex design, will not destroy the overall feeling of the back cover, visually more concise and clean, highly recognizable, coupled with its own S-Pen, the overall look like a combination of S and Note series, weighing about 228g.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is designed with four sides of iso-width, equipped with Gorilla Victus protective glass, supports IP68 dustproof and waterproof, and has a rich color matching option.
It should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series also has a version that supports the millimeter wave band and weighs 1g heavier than the standard model.
Screen quality
The Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra are available in 6.8 inches (micro-curved), 6.6 inches and 6.1 inches respectively, and support the second-generation dynamic AMOLED screen of Vision Booster technology, which is the LTPO 2.0 that we often talk about. The difference between them is mainly in the minimum values of resolution and refresh rate.
Among them, the resolution of Galaxy S22 and S22+ is FHD+, which supports dynamic resolution adjustment of 10Hz to 120Hz, but the peak brightness of the S22 screen is 1300 nits, while the peak brightness of S22+ can reach 1750 nits.
The resolution of the S22 Ultra screen reaches QHD+, that is, 3080×1440 pixels, the peak brightness is also as high as 1750 nits, and it supports a wider dynamic resolution adjustment of 1Hz to 120Hz.
Hardware specifications
The Samsung Galaxy S22 series provides Qualcomm's new Snapdragon 8 and Samsung Exynos 2200 two mobile platforms to choose from, but for domestic and most countries and regions sold version should be more for Snapdragon 8, want to experience Exynos 2200 players need to bother.
The Galaxy S22 and S22+ both come standard with 8GB of RAM and are available in 128GB or 256GB storage capacities. The Galaxy S22 Ultra offers a wider range of 8GB+128GB, 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB and 12GB+1TB versions. Considering the space occupied by the current Android application ecology, it is recommended that you give priority to the version with a capacity of 256GB, and 128GB is really not enough.
Battery life
The Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra have built-in 3700mAh, 4500mAh and 5000mAh batteries respectively, with continuous audio playback time of up to 54 hours, 69 hours and 81 hours, respectively, all supporting 15W wireless charging. It should be noted that the S22 only supports 25W fast charging, while S22+ and S22 Ultra support 45W fast charging.
It can be seen that the charging power is still Samsung's weakness, and the domestic flagship mobile phone generally supports 50W-level wireless charging and 120W-level wired fast charging, which means that Samsung Galaxy S22 needs to spend nearly twice as much time to fill the full power.
Lens matching
The front lens of the Samsung Galaxy S22 is centered and has the same aperture, but the front cameras of the S22 and S22+ are only 10 million pixels, the sensor size is 1/3.24 inches, and the unit pixel size is 1.22μm; the S22 Ultra has an exclusive 40 million pixels, the sensor size reaches 1/2.82 inch, the unit pixel size is 0.7μm, and the four-in-one pixel aggregation is equivalent to 1.4μm, and the selfie effect is better.
In the rear camera, the S22 and S22+ use the exact same specifications of the three-camera module, respectively, 50 million pixel main camera (most likely ISOCELL GN5, but the GN5 sensor size is 1/1.57 inches, while the parameter information page is displayed as 1/1.56 inch), 12 million pixel ultra-wide angle and 10 million pixel telephoto lens, of which the main camera supports OIS optical image stabilization, telephoto supports 3X optical zoom, can achieve 30X digital zoom function.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra uses a more luxurious quad camera matrix, which is a 108-megapixel main camera (ISOCELL HM3), a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle, a 10-megapixel 3X telephoto, a 10-megapixel 10X periscope telephoto lens, and a maximum support of 100X optical zoom.
In general, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series is in line with the flagship temperament in both design and configuration, but the pre-sale price is still much more expensive than the same mobile phones of Xiaomi, OPPO and Vivo. Relatively speaking, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is currently the farthest new Snapdragon 8 flagship, and the 10X optical zoom is unbeatable, but its price threshold of more than 10,000 yuan is higher.
Soon, Xiaomi, vivo and ZTE will also release new products equipped with periscope telephoto lenses, but they should only support 5X optical zoom, and if the Huawei P60 series can be released smoothly, the top version should also support 10X optical zoom.
