Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 128 GB / 8 GB

The flagship Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is strikingly different from its colleagues in the product line of the best creations of the South Korean electronics vendor as of early 2022. It is closer in spirit to the Galaxy Note series of smartphones that have sunk into oblivion.

A screen worthy of a flagship

The device was equipped with a huge 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with sloping side edges. The screen has an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz and supports an active S Pen stylus. From now on, there is a “parking space” for a branded pen right in the smartphone case. The input lag when drawing with a stylus was reduced from 9 to 2.8 ms, artificial intelligence algorithms (predict the direction of the pen movement) and a new chip from Wacom with an increased polling rate (up to 480 Hz) took part in the process. The screen of the model is good in all points of the programme — it shows a picture in high resolution 3088x1440 pixels, has a built-in ultrasonic fingerprint scanner and a round cutout for a 40 MP front camera lens.

Camera out of competition

Unlike the classic models of the S22 family, the smartphone looks completely different screen and main camera unit. In addition, the device can easily stand on the lower end of the case. The lenses of the rear camera of the mobile device appear on the surface of the glass "back" each separately. The main module here is a 108 MP image sensor with physical dimensions of 1 / 1.33 "and tenacious Dual Pixel AF autofocus. It is accompanied by a 12 MP ultra-wide and two 10 MP stabilized telephoto cameras (with a triple optical zoom and a tenfold zoom). The smartphone takes excellent photos and shoots high-quality videos in resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160 pixels) Depending on the lighting conditions, the Auto Framerate function automatically selects the frame rate for best results.

Full hardware

The top smartphone needs the appropriate equipment. And it did not let us down — here you have the whole modern set of wireless communications (including support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6E), and 45-watt wired charging of a capacious 5000 mAh battery, and two-way wireless charging of compatible devices. For dessert, the model has prepared dust and water protection of the IP68 case with the possibility of immersion to a depth of one and a half metres for half an hour. A charger for a smartphone will need to be purchased separately — taking care of the environment, Samsung does not put an AC adapter in the standard package of mobile phones. Fortunately, the branded power supply slightly increases the already expensive price tag of the model.
