The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's greatest features are examined. What does it have in common with the S21 Ultra, and does it take the place of the Galaxy Note series?

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is likely to be the most highly anticipated Android flagship phone of 2022. The gadget has the same starting price as its predecessor, the S21 Ultra, although it has a few noticeable upgrades.

While the new design is the most noticeable alteration, there are several additional improvements that are less noticeable. Let's take a look at the Galaxy S22 Ultra's top 10 features.

1.S-PEN

The Samsung S22 Ultra is the first S series handset to include a built-in S Pen, emulating the Galaxy Note series. Because the S and Note series were becoming increasingly similar, Samsung decided to combine the two.

2. LTPO 2 Provides the Brightest Display Ever

With a peak brightness of 1750 nits, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra boasts the brightest display of any smartphone ever. Even if you spend a lot of time outside, that's more than adequate brightness for regular use. However, in broad sunshine, just turning up the brightness might result in a loss of image quality, with deep blacks becoming washed out and colors becoming faded.

With a latency of only 2.8 milliseconds, the S Pen allows for a fluid writing and drawing experience that is virtually indistinguishable from writing on paper. It also has a slew of little but useful features to boost your productivity.

The pen is also IP68 certified for water and dust protection, much like the phone.

3. Updates for Android

When compared to iPhones, one thing that Android phones have traditionally lacked is lengthy software support. While the former offers three years of major OS upgrades at the most, the latter offers five to six years.

Samsung, on the other hand, is giving a total of four years of Android upgrades with the Samsung Galaxy S22 series. That means your Galaxy S22 mobile will be able to update to Android 16, allowing you to keep your device for longer than you could have otherwise.

4. A new 4nm processor has been developed.

You also receive a new 4nm chipset, as well as four years of software upgrades. This is either the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or Samsung's in-house CPU, the Exynos 2200, depending on your area. Both processors are extremely strong, capable of multitasking with ease, and are ideal for gamers and power users. The Adreno 730 GPU is used in the Snapdragon processor, whereas the new Xclipse 920 GPU based on RDNA 2 architecture is used in the Exynos chip (developed in conjunction with AMD). For comparison, the PlayStation 5 has the same graphics architecture.

5. Fast Charging at 45 Watts

The Samsung S21 Ultra was limited to 25W fast charging, but the Samsung S22 Ultra supports up to 45W, and Samsung claims that it can charge your phone from zero to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. While this isn't as remarkable as some Chinese phones that can charge at 100W or even quicker, it's still a step in the right direction.

6. Optimization of Snapchat

You've probably noticed that social networking applications on iPhones operate better than on Android phones. This is due to the fact that the iOS environment is more standardized and easier to work with, whereas the Android ecosystem is more chaotic.

However, Samsung has teamed up with Snapchat to enhance the social media platform to take full advantage of the Galaxy S22's camera technology and software advancements. This means you'll be able to shoot crisper photos and videos in low-light situations, as well as utilize the various cameras on your S22 smartphone for better portrait and ultrawide images.

7. Optional internal storage of 1TB

The S22 Ultra also comes with a 1TB storage option that can only be purchased from Samsung's official website. The last time we saw something like this in a Samsung phone was with the S10+ in 2019. Most individuals don't want that much room, so that's a bit of an overkill for them.

For gamers, producers, and power users, however, this can be advantageous since they can download more visually demanding games, take numerous high-resolution images and videos, and store a large number of movies, TV series, and other media. There is no microSD card slot on the phone.

8. Image Quality Improvements

The Samsung S22 Ultra's photographic experience is far superior to that of its predecessor. To begin with, the pixel size has increased by 123 percent, resulting in more detail and more accurate colors. An anti-reflective nano-coating on the camera lens lets light reach the sensor with fewer reflections, providing it more picture data for improved clarity.

Plus, every time you snap a picture, the camera takes two photos at the same time—one for detail with the 108MP sensor and another for brightness with the 12MP sensor—and merges them. This leads in a photo that is brighter and more detailed overall, especially when zooming closer.

9. Shots in low light and better stabilization

For improved Optical Image Stabilization, the Samsung S22 Ultra's primary camera now boasts a 58 percent wider corrective angle (OIS). This implies the camera lens may physically move more freely during photos to compensate for jitters. As a consequence, photographs and videos are crisper.

But, especially when filming films at night or in low-light settings, having amazing gear isn't always enough. VDIS, or Video Digital Image Stabilization, does this by examining four times the motion data from your camera shakes and correcting accordingly with software.

10. RAW Camera Expert App

Expert RAW, a new camera software for professional photographers, is also available on the S22 Ultra. The function allows you to have complete control over the camera's lenses, allowing you to shoot in 16-bit raw format and manually adjust ISO, white balance, AF, and exposure settings.

Unlike the default camera app, photographs taken with this app do not lose image data and are thus very customizable. This will be a delight if you frequently modify your images with Adobe Lightroom.
