As you may have seen in the leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra carries over what its predecessor has done and brings the S Pen into the Galaxy S series. But this time, it gets a slot for the stylus, meaning you don't need a case to stow away the S Pen.

This handset also looks different from the other S22 models. It adopts a look and shape reminiscent of the Galaxy Note series. Samsung opted to integrate the camera lenses into the body, with these lenses protruding just a bit from the metal frame. Meanwhile, the S22 and S22 Plus carry on the contour-cut design of their predecessors. The Galaxy S22 series are all protected by an Armor Aluminum frame, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, and IP68 rating.
As for their displays, the Galaxy S22 Ultra gets a 6.8-inch screen, the Galaxy S22+ has a 6.6-inch screen, and the Galaxy S22 has a 6.1-inch display. All have Dynamic AMOLED 2x adaptive screens with 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,750 nits for the S22+ and S22 Ultra and 1,300 nits for the base S22. Samsung introduces its Vision Booster tech, which it says intelligently adjusts brightness depending on the time of day.
When it comes to the camera setup, this is what you get from the phones:
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 108-megapixel main, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, two 10-megapixel telephoto lenses, and a 40-megapixel selfie camera
- Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22: 50-megapixel primary sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, 10-megapixel telephoto, and a 10-megapixel selfie camera
Camera features include improved night photography with the help of bigger sensors paired with a Super Clear Glass lens that captures more light while reducing glare. You can expect more stable videos and better Portrait Mode. The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with 100x zoom, while the Galaxy S22+ and S22 get up to 30x zoom.
Samsung talks about equipping the phones with its latest 4nm processor, but it doesn't go into much detail about the chipset. In Canada, the phones are equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. The Galaxy S22 Ultra gets up to 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, while the other two get 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage.
