Tomorrow, Samsung will introduce the Galaxy S22 series which includes the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. As they used to sing on Sesame Street, one of these things is not like the other. That would be the top-of-the-line Galaxy S22 Ultra which takes its design cues from the now-defunct Galaxy Note line.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra will be officially announced by Samsung tomorrow morning
The Galaxy Note was first released by Samsung in 2011 and was known for its large displays and the S Pen. Last year, the model was removed from the manufacturer’s smartphone line up as the company focused on its two foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Galaxy Flip 3. Fans of the Galaxy Note series will be happy to see that Samsung has given a nod to the Note by offering a very similarly designed phone in the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
You probably know the rumored specs by heart but for those who missed it, the Galaxy S22 Ultra should sport a 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED curved display with a variable refresh rate between 1-120Hz. Those in the states, Canada, and China will have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship chipset under the hood. This is the sequel to last year’s Snapdragon 888 powerhouse.
The P-shaped camera array on the back features a 108MP camera sensor, a 12MP camera sensor in back of the ultra-wide lens, and a pair of 10MP sensors are being employed for the two telephoto cameras. One features a 3x optical zoom while the other delivers 10x optical zoom. In front, a 40MP camera sensor will be used for the front-facing selfie camera.
A version of the Galaxy S22 Ultra with 1TB of storage will be found only in certain markets
Keeping the lights on the Galaxy S22 Ultra will be a 5000mAh battery, and the IP68 rating indicates the handset’s protection from dust and water. Configuration options include 8 or 12GB of memory and 128/256/512GB storage. In limited markets, Samsung will offer a variant of the phone with 1TB of memory (this model will not be sold in North America).
Color options are Black, White, Burgundy, and Green.
