Samsung is all set to release new devices tomorrow (Feb 9th) at the Galaxy Unpacked event. The company will launch its next-gen Galaxy S22 series smartphones at this event. Out of these, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most anticipated device, so let’s take a look at what we know about the device so far.

Design & Display

Starting off with the front design, the S22 Ultra doesn’t look all that different from the Note 20 Ultra released back in August 2020. And unlike its more affordable siblings, the phone also doesn’t appear to have uniform bezels all around, courtesy of the ever-so-slight chin.

On the back is where the device differs the most. It features a flat rear without any camera island. This time around, the camera and sensors placed in the top left corner protrude from the back panel only making for a clean-looking design. So far, the device has been shown in three color variants namely Green, Burgundy, and White. Overall, the phone measures 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9mm.

Coming to the display, it will feature a 6.8-inch QHD+ (3080 x 1440 pixels) Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, with support for HDR10+, 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and 1,750nits peak brightness.

Cameras

The Galaxy S22 Ultra will feature a quad-camera setup at the back with a primary 108MP Super Clear lens with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS support. The primary sensor is touted to be an enhanced ISOCELL HM3 or ISOCELL HM4.

The device will pack a 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x zoom with f/2.4 aperture and another 10MP lens with 10x zoom and an f/4.9 aperture. Upfront, it will equip a 40MP shooter with an f/2.2 aperture.

The device is also said to come with an AI-powered image quality enhancement mode which will help enhance the details, colors, and brightness of the images fully utilizing the potential of the massive 108MP primary sensor.

Performance

The device will have the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC under its hood and will also come with Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 SoC in some regions. If the reports are to be believed, then this time, there will be more regions getting the Qualcomm-powered model.

The storage configurations revealed so far are 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 12GB + 1TB. However, it is worth noting that the 1TB storage variant will only debut in select markets.

It will be running the latest Android 12 operating system with Samsung One UI on top. The device will come with a 5000mAh battery size and support 45W fast charging which will be the highest yet for a Samsung smartphone. The device will also come with an S Pen which is said to be almost 3 times faster than the Note 20 Ultras’.

Pricing and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is rumored to launch in South Korea at around $1,210 for the 256GB variant and around $1,333 for the 512GB variant. The device will go live for pre-orders following its launch tomorrow (February 9th) and is said to start shipping from February 25th.

According to the tipster Ice Universe (@UniverseIce), the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a similar quad-camera setup as the Galaxy S21 Ultra but with improved sensors. As per him, the handset will house the following cameras on the rear.
