Samsung Galaxy S22 to reportedly launch a new Lavender Purple color

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra broke all sales records recently. Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup was launched in February of this year.

Samsung
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

Undoubtedly, this requires a difficult decision. Therefore, Samsung is trying to make things simpler by persuading clients to make quick purchases. Lavender Purple is a brand-new color choice for the Samsung Galaxy S22 range.

In June, rumors started circulating that the Galaxy S22 smartphone line may come in a Purple Hue. This time, the information was leaked by well-known Samsung leaker IceUniverse, who disseminated it over Twitter. We are disposed to believe in the veracity of the leak, given IceUniverse’s well-established track record with Samsung devices.

There isn’t much information available at the moment about the new Lavender Purple color choice, assuming it turns out to be the official name. No prospective release date is mentioned. Nevertheless, depending on the release cycle timing, the launch should take place soon.

Purple is, if anything, a distinctive color choice for cellphones that is certain to get some notice. However, there could be more motivation for this choice. Samsung’s choice of hue is not totally unexpected, given the many speculations suggesting a possible purple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max.

Design

These phones are not focused on elegance, but, given that they are meant especially for gamers, young people, and power users, they come with aggressive designs. The most aggressive is the POCO F4 GT, clearly gaming-centric, which also includes two amazing physical magnetic pop-up triggers on the right side. The POCO F4 is the soberest one as it does not come with weird textures and it offers a classic glass back with a single color. Note that the POCO F4 GT is the most premium device in terms of materials because it comes with a glass back and an aluminum frame, while its internal rivals are equipped with a glass back and a plastic frame. On the other hand, the POCO F4 and the POCO F3 have the IP53 certification making them dust resistant and splash resistant.

 

Display

The displays of these three phones are not so far from each other in terms of specifications, but the POCO F4 GT wins the comparison because it is able to show up to one billion colors on its AMOLED panels. For the rest, these displays are pretty much the same: they are AMOLED panels with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, a diagonal of 6.67 inches, the HDR10+ certification, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Even though they come with AMOLED displays, all of them have side-mounted fingerprint readers, but they also come with great stereo speakers. Unfortunately, there is no 3.5 mm audio jack.

 

Specs & Software

If you are looking for the phone with the highest performance, then go for the POCO F4 GT without thinking twice. It has one of the best processors in the whole Android world, something you can usually find only in the highest-end segment of the market. We are talking about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the flagship SoC released by Qualcomm for 2022. It is built at 4 nm and it runs at a max frequency of 3 GHz, with an octa-core architecture composed of one Cortex X2 CPU, three Cortex A710 CPUs, four Cortex A510 CPUs, and an Adreno 650 GPU. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Both the POCO F4 and the POCO F3 come with a Snapdragon 870 mobile platform, but on the F3, you get only 8 GB of RAM, while the F4 goes up to 12 GB. The POCO F4 and the POCO F4 GT run Android 12 out of the box, while the F3 ships with Android 11 because it is a device from 2021.

 

Camera

The POCO F4 and the POCO F4 GT come with the same camera department and, despite we are talking about high-end phones, they can only be considered midrange camera phones. They are equipped with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 20 MP selfie snapper. You get exactly the same sensors on the POCO F3 with the exception of the main camera: on the F3, there is an inferior 48 MP main sensor.

 

 

Battery

The POCO F4 GT provides a longer battery life because it has a bigger battery, while the POCO F4 and the F3 should offer a very similar battery life because they have similar components and more or less the same battery capacity. The GT supports 120W fast charging, the vanilla F4 stops at 67W, and the F3 supports 33W fast charging.

 

Price

You can currently find the POCO F4 for €349/$355 thanks to online street prices, the POCO F4 GT is priced at €699/$710 in its base variant, and the street prices of the POCO F3 hitten the €200/$205 threshold. The GT variant wins this comparison, but the F3 is the handset offering the best value for money and it has almost the same specifications as the F4.
