After much anticipation, extensive speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the latest Samsung Galaxy S22 series, the company has finally officially launched the series during the Galaxy Unpacked 2022.
The series was launched alongside the company’s flagship Galaxy Tab S8 trio. Below you will find everything you need to know about the Galaxy S22 and the S22+ smartphones from the series.
Design & Display
In terms of design, the Galaxy S22 comes with an elegant design and a back panel that has a matte finish with a slightly protruding camera island. This time, Samsung made sure to use premium materials for the S22 and S22+, as opposed to the S21 and S21+ which had a plastic chassis.
Samsung unveiled the vanilla Galaxy S22 with a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a dynamic refresh rate of 120 Hz, a maximum brightness of 1500 nits and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. The display has a perforation cutout with a 10 MP selfie camera.
However, compared to the vanilla model, the upgraded Galaxy S22+ retains the same overall design but tops it off with a larger 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and a higher peak brightness of 1750 nits. The display has a similar punch cutout to the vanilla model with the same 10MP lens.
Hardware and Storage
Under the hood, both smartphones have an Exynos 2200 chipset or a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, depending on the region in which they are sold. While Europe will receive a 4nm Exynos 2200 chip, North America will receive the Snapdragon version.
Furthermore, both the vanilla S22 and the improved S22+ variants have 8GB of RAM with 128/256GB of internal storage. Additional connectivity options include Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and 5G.
On the software side, both smartphones run One UI 4.0 on top of Android 12 OS, which is pre-installed on the device.

In terms of optics, both the S22 and S22+ share the same triple-lens setup, including a 50MP primary sensor, supported by a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens and a 10MP telephoto that enables 3x zoom.
The front cameras, as mentioned before, are 10MP on both the S22 and S22+.
Battery & Availability
The vanilla model is powered by a 3,700mAh battery that supports 25W charging. However, unlike the vanilla model’s 3,700mAh battery, the upgraded S22+ comes with a slightly larger 4,500mAh battery with support for 45W charging.
