Singaporeans waiting to get their hands on the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 series do not have to wait long. Samsung’s latest and greatest is coming to the island soonest. 

Like the previous two years, we’re getting three variants: Galaxy S22 Ultra, S22+, and S22. What’s different this year is the Ultra. Instead of just being the most massive of the three, it now sports an S Pen. The Ultra is now the spiritual successor of the Galaxy Note line while also keeping the photography prowess of the S series. Here’s everything you need to know.

Galaxy S22 Ultra 

This is it. This is what over a decade of the S series and the Note series comes down to. The Galaxy S22 Ultra fuses the outstanding camera capabilities of the S series with the portable productivity of the Note series. 

Samsung is touting its lowlight/night time capabilities more than anything else. Even going as far as coining the term “Nightography.” The company is promising superb lowlight and night time camera performance whether for photo or video. This is through the combination of its  2.4um pixel sensor, Super Clear Glass Lens, and their usual computational photography. 

But the biggest addition is the S Pen. Essentially, it has everything you might expect from a Galaxy Note, but now it’s in the Ultra edition of the S series. Samsung says the S Pen now has 70 percent more latency and unlocks all the productivity and creativity possibilities available on the Galaxy Note series. 

In terms of looks, the Galaxy S22 Ultra shares more similarities with the Galaxy Note line than the Galaxy S series. It’s massive, premium, and boxy. Fans of the Galaxy Note series will most likely gravitate to the Ultra. 

Samsung also held nothing back in its build, opting for Corning Gorilla Glass Victus all over the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The rest of the series also share the same build. 

Here’s a quick rundown of the specs: 

As is the usual case with Samsung, the processor will vary depending on your region. What we know is that North America will get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Europe will get Exynos 2200, and a majority of Southeast Asia which used to get Exynos will now be treated with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 version.

Galaxy S22+ and S22

We enter more familiar S series territory with the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22. 

These couple of flagships look a lot more like their predecessors and is what we’ve come to expect from the Galaxy S series. Samsung is placing an emphasis on imaging, particularly low-light/night time photography and videography. Both software and hardware come into play to achieve the results the company is boasting about. 

The phones will also be powered by either a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip or an Exynos 2200 depending on your region. Both promise superior performance while saving power consumption. Samsung is also banking on its ONE UI 4 Android skin to deliver a smooth performance. 

Like the Ultra, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ will have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus all over. A significant bump from the ‘glasstic’ in last year’s models. 

Here’s a rundown of their specs to see what’s the same and what’s different.
