Some Galaxy S22 Ultra units are having display issues

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the top-end model in the flagship S22 lineup but it seems the model may not have a smooth sail in the market. There are indications that some early units of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, mainly in regions with the Exynos chip powering the device may be having a display problem.

Multiple reports have surfaced online of new owners of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Exynos regions complaining of having display problems on their devices. It seems the problem is that the users observed a weird pixelated horizontal line across the smartphone’s display. The said line seems to be found at about the same position for all the customers who have complained about it at the moment.

Although there are still regions, including the United States where Snapdragon models will be shipped, it is unclear whether the issue is related to the chipset deployed in the units. The fact however is that all the Galaxy S22 Ultra units that are having pixelated line problems are known to be powered by the Exynos 2200 chipset. The Exynos chip came under scrutiny recently when Geekbench performance data showed that Apple’s Bionic chip deployed in the iPhone 11 outperformed the latest Exynos flagship SoC. Although a conclusion cannot be drawn based on performance tests alone, it could point to some issues with the new chip, which has also had issues of overheating reported.

It was also observed that the horizontal line issue was only present when the device was on 1440p mode and switching the screen mode to Vivid provided a fix for the issue. This may point to the possibility that this could be a software issue that could easily be resolved when the regular updates for the device roll in. There has been no official response by Samsung to the issue at this time, but we expect a response or action in a short while.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with S Pen deals a death blow to the Note series

Jed John Ikoba — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 16:44:36 +0000

Samsung‘s flagship offering for 2022 is off to a bright start with the launch of the Galaxy S22 series comprising the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Pro, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. No doubt, the top-end Galaxy S22 Ultra is the star of the pack as it comes with several impressive features including some that are appearing on the Galaxy S series for the first time.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is not only a successor to the Galaxy S21 Ultra, it is also the successor of the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra that was released in 2020 but never got a successor to date. The main highlight of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the presence of an S Pen stylus, a device that is common with the Galaxy Note series.

In terms of the design, the Galaxy S22 Ultra adopts a similar design to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra whereby the front is flattened alongside the top and bottom while the sides are curved. Samsung even included a Burgundy color variant which looks similar to the Note 20’s Mystic Bronze color option.

The premium flagship phone utilizes an aluminum frame as well as the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ covering at the front and rear aspects. By the way, this is the first time the Gorilla Glass Victus+ is finding its way into a smartphone, corroborating an earlier rumor that Samsung will be the first to use the new glass protection. The phone also comes with IP68 water and dust resistance rating and this includes the S Pen.

Another aspect where the Galaxy S22 Ultra is expected to shine is the camera segment. The camera design ditches the large camera island which we have seen in its predecessor instead, opting for a plain design while retaining the array of sensors on the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

The camera configuration includes a 108MP F/1.8 main camera just like on the Galaxy S21 Ultra teaming up with a 12MP f/2.2 ultrawide camera, 10MP F/2.4 3x, and 10MP F/4.9 10x periscope lenses. At the front, there is a 40MP F/2.2 selfie camera. The main improvement in the camera segment is the introduction of AI enhancement deploying the updated NPU to improve photo and video quality in low light and also to add other camera features.

Some of the new features include Auto Framing that allows the ultrawide camera to adjust the shot to fit the number of people in the frame. The camera also expands to accommodate more people if others join in. There is also an option of manually zooming in or tracking just one person in the group and the shot’s frame will be adjusted. There is also an improved portrait mode effect, including a night portrait mode that kicks in automatically while shooting in low light.

As for the S Pen, it comes with an impressive latency of 2.8ms which makes it highly responsive. It also integrates AI-based coordinate prediction technology. The phone also features support for handwriting to text features, upgraded to support 88 languages.

In terms of the display, the Galaxy S22 Ultra packs a 6.8-inch AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a QHD+ resolution of 3088×1440 pixels. The display also comes with a 240Hz touch sampling rate, 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage, and 1,750 nits of peak brightness. There is also an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor embedded under the screen.

Providing the juice is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset while some regions will get the new Exynos 2200 SoC from Samsung on their models. The processor pairs with 8GB of RAM and 128GB storage on the base model while there is a 12GB RAM variant with either 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra will run the latest One UI 4.1 based on Android 12 OS. The device will be powered by a 5000mAh battery with support for up to 45W wired fast charging and 15W wireless charging.

Ahead of its projected February 2022 launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the first real-life pictures of the new device have surfaced online. The new images are coming on the heels of several renders and rumors concerning the S22 lineup. The photos further help to illuminate the flagship offering in the S22 lineup. The previous renders and specs details have revealed much about the S22 and the additional real-life photos reveal a few more details.

The pictures show the curved edges of the device, away from the previous speculation that it will have flat edges. The photos also confirm the presence of the S-Pen and there is a slot for slotting the S-Pen into the device. The camera setup includes a 108MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide sensor, a 10MP 3X telephoto module, and a 10MP 10X telephoto module.

The real-life photos show that the Galaxy S22 Ultra bears a closer semblance to the Galaxy note more than the Galaxy S series. The back of the S22 Ultra has a matte finish and six cutouts for the main camera setup, the laser autofocus module, as well as the LED flash.

As we await its February 2022 projected unveiling, more details will become available for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, as well as the other smartphones on the S22 lineup.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy S22 series next year, but months before that, early renderings of the smartphone have surfaced today. The renders come from notorious leaker Onleaks in collaboration with DigitIndia. The renders give us the early look at what to expect and reveal key changes over the current S21 series.

The renders reveal that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will bring a new form factor. It will go with a similar shell as the Galaxy Note 20 meaning that there will be sharp corners on all four sides. As per the publication, the smartphone features a 6.8-inch curved screen. Reportedly, it is an AMOLED panel with a high refresh rate. Precisely, the device measures 8.9mm in thickness and has the following dimensions – 163.2 x 77.9 x 8.9mm.

Interestingly, the rear camera island looks to be protruded and it comes in a completely new design. The camera island has four cameras and a LED flash. The smartphone has a USB Type-C port, a speaker grille, and a microphone at the bottom. And, has a secondary microphone and a SIM tray at the top.

Just like last year, the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra will also have S-Pen support. The S-Pen will be placed beside the speaker grille at the bottom. That said, the smartphone may come with some S-Pen-centric features as well. Under the hood, we expect it to be powered by the flagship Snapdragon SoC for some markets and may have an Exynos chipset as well.

Apart from this, the phone’s rest of the details are under wraps. There’s still plenty of time until the Galaxy S22 series officially arrives. Ahead of its unveiling, we expect to see some more leaks in the coming weeks.
