The Samsung Galaxy S22 series is now official. The lineup consists of three devices, the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra, assembling for yet another rather exciting chapter in Samsung’s expansive smartphone saga. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is undoubtedly the crown jewel of the new lineup, with a sophisticated posh design, top-of-the-line hardware, and an S Pen stylus in tow. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus serve as the more approachable and user-friendly devices, with no-frills design, and a more affordable price tag. Now that the Galaxy S22 series is official and on sale, the world is slowly turning to the upcoming Galaxy S23 series, which is expected in early 2023.

Galaxy S22 PriceThis is what the Galaxy S22 series costs:
Galaxy S22 SpecsIn terms of display size, Samsung slightly decreased screen sizes across the board in comparison with last year’s Galaxy S21 series. Thus, we get a Galaxy S22 with a 6.1-inch display, an S22 Plus with a 6.6-inch one, and an S22 Ultra with a 6.8-inch display. The Galaxy S22 Ultra can intelligently switch between 1fps and 120fps depending on the on-screen content that the user is enjoying, while the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus can switch between 48 and 120Hz. The Galaxy S22 series are powered by its own Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon’s top chipset depending on the region. The top Qualcomm chipset right now is built with a 4nm manufacturing process and comes with a high-performance Cortex-X2 core at 3000 MHz, three Cortex-A710 cores running at 2500 MHz, and Cortex-A510 cores clocked at up to 1800 MHz. </div><div><br>The 4nm Exynos 2200 sports the latest and greatest ARM-based CPU cores and an upgraded neural processing unit (NPU) to give the component a powerful edge in mobile gaming, photography, and social media apps. It also comes with the AMD RDNA 2 GPU, which brings ray tracing to mobile GPUs for the very first time and promises exceptional gaming performance.</div><div><br><div class="overflow-auto nolinks"><table class="tb-plugin tb-plugin-fullWidth"><tbody><tr><th><br></th><th>Galaxy S22 Ultra<br></th><th>Galaxy S22 Plus<br></th><th>Galaxy S22<br></th></tr><tr><td><span style="font-weight:bold">Display</span></td><td>6.8-inch, 3080 x 1440 pixels, 500ppi, 1-120Hz Dynamic AMOLED, Gorilla Glass Victus<br></td><td>6.6-inch, 2340 X 1080 pixels, 390ppi, 48-120Hz Dynamic AMOLED, Gorilla Glass Victus<br></td><td>6.1-inch, 2340 x 1080 pixels, 422ppi, 48-120Hz Dynamic AMOLED, Gorilla Glass Victus<br></td></tr><tr><td>Main camera<br></td><td>108MP, F1.8 aperture, 22mm, 1/1.33" sensor size, OIS, PDAF<br></td><td>50MP, F1.8 aperture, 23mm, 1/1.56" sensor size, OIS, PDAF<br></td><td>50MP, F1.8 aperture, 23mm, 1/1.56" sensor size, OIS, PDAF<br></td></tr><tr><td><span style="font-weight:bold">Telephoto camera <br></span></td><td>10MP, 3.0X optical zoom, F2.4 aperture, 69mm, 1/3.52" sensor size<br></td><td>10MP, 3.0X optical zoom, F2.4 aperture, 69mm, 1/3.94" sensor size<br></td><td>10MP, 3.0X optical zoom, F2.4 aperture, 69mm, 1/3.94" sensor size<br></td></tr><tr><td>Telephoto camera #2<br></td><td>10MP, 10.0X optical zoom, F4.9 aperture, 230mm, 1/3.52" sensor size<br></td><td style="text-align:center">-</td><td style="text-align:center">-</td></tr><tr><td><span style="font-weight:bold">Ultra-wide camera<br></span></td><td>12MP, F2.2 aperture, 13mm, 1/2.55" sensor size <br></td><td>12MP, F2.2 aperture, 13mm, 1/2.55" sensor size<br></td><td>12MP, F2.2 aperture, 13mm, 1/2.55" sensor size<br></td></tr><tr><td>Hardware</td><td>Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200, 8GB RAM + 128GB RAM, 12GB RAM + 256GB, 12GB RAM + 512GB, 12GB RAM + 1TB<br></td><td>Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200, 8GB RAM + 128GB, 8GB + 256GB storage<br></td><td>Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200, 8GB RAM + 128GB, 8GB RAM + 256GB storage<br></td></tr><tr><td><span style="font-weight:bold">Battery</span></td><td>5,000mAh, 45W wired, 15W wireless charging<br></td><td>4,500mAh, 45W wired, 15W wireless charging<br></td><td>3,700mAh, 25 wired, 15W wireless charging<br></td></tr></tbody></table></div></div><div><br></div><div><div class="spot-sticky-container" style="height:325px"><div class="spot spot-disclaimer s_media s_media_full nolinks part-of-content spot-sticky ad_940_0"><div id="div-gpt-ad-1630416351927-0" style="min-width:728px;min-height:90px"><script>googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1630416351927-0')});</div></div></div><span style="font-style:italic">Read more:</span></div><div><ul><li><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S22_id11763" target="_blank" rel="">Samsung Galaxy S22 specs</a></li><li><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S22+_id11762" target="_blank" rel="">Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus specs</a></li><li><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S22-Ultra_id11761" target="_blank" rel="">Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra specs</a></li></ul><div><br></div><div><h2><span id="reviews" class="anchor">Galaxy S22 Reviews</span></h2></div><div><br></div><div>You can find our full reviews of the Galaxy S22 lineup here:</div><div><br></div><ul><li><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s22-ultra-review_id5320" target="_blank" rel="">Galaxy S22 Ultra review</a></li><li><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s22-plus-review_id5325" target="_blank" rel="">Galaxy S22 Plus review</a></li><li><span style="color:rgb(0,102,204)"><a href="https://www.phonearena.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s22-review_id5324" target="_blank" rel="">Galaxy S22 review</a></span><br></li></ul><div><br></div><div><h2><span id="comparisons" class="anchor">Galaxy S22 comparisons</span></h2></div><div><br></div>Of course, no device should be only viewed in a vacuum.

You can read everything about that in our dedicated Galaxy S22 colors article here, but here's the gist of it:
What is the Galaxy S22 battery capacity?
The Galaxy S22 battery is a smaller 3700mAh unit compared to the 4000mAh battery on the Galaxy S21. The Galaxy S22+ scores yet another downgrade—it has a 4500mAh battery compared to the 4800mAh component on the Galaxy S21+. The only one of the three models not losing any battery capacity this year is actually the Galaxy S22 Ultra with its 5000mAh battery matching the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Have in mind that chargers and data cables are sold separately. When it comes to charging, the smallest Galaxy S22 has picked the short stick. It’s the only to only feature 25W wired charging, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S22 Plus can benefit from up to 45W of fast wired charging. This helps them get juiced to more than 50% in less than 20 minutes. All phones support 15W wireless charging, and have Wireless PowerShare so that you can share your battery juice with other compatible devices. You can check out more information on the Galaxy S22 battery in our dedicated article here to find out if it's an upgrade or disappointment.
What are the Galaxy S22 camera specs?
The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with a 108MP main camera with a third-generation ISOCELL HM3 sensor and protected by Super Clear lens, which should improve low-light image quality. The 12MP ultra-wide camera has a 120-degree field of view and an F2.2 aperture. There are also two telephoto cameras: a 3X 10MP telephoto with an F2.4 aperture, and a dedicated 10X 10MP periscope with an F4.9 aperture. The maximum amount of zoom on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is 100X Space Zoom. Finally, there’s a 40MP selfie camera. Learn all about the Samsung Galaxy S22 camera here. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus share less impressive but similar camera setups. Both have 50MP main cameras, with an F1.8 aperture and wide 85-degree field-of-view. The 12MP ultra-wide camera is similar to the one found on the S22 Ultra and comes with a F2.2 aperture and 120-degree field of view. Finally, there’s a single 3X 10MP telephoto camera on both devices, with an F2.4 aperture and image stabilization. The selfie camera clocks in at 10MP.

What are the best Galaxy S22 dealsWhile deals usually change pretty quickly, we try to stay on top of them, and now with Black Friday nearly upon us, the deals landscape is to change rather quickly. The chances of you stumbling upon a saucy deal when considering either of the S22 family is definitely big, especially if you check out some of our dedicated deal articles below:
Wann wird S22+ geliefert?Laut Saturn App ist voraussichtlicher Liefertermin für die S22 plus Geräte der 11.05. bis 12.05.2022.
Wann ist das Samsung S22 PLUS lieferbar?Das Samsung Galaxy S22, S22 Plus und S22 Ultra wurden am 09.02.2022 vorgestellt. Am 25.02.2022 sollten die Smartphones eigentlich in den Regalen stehen. Der ursprüngliche Vermarktungsstart wurde aber nun auf voraussichtlich 11.03.2022 geschoben.
Wann werden Galaxy S22 ausgeliefert?Die Galaxy S22-Modelle sollen laut Prosser am 8. Februar 2022 vorgestellt werden. Der Vorverkauf soll am gleichen Tag starten, der Marktstart erfolgt dann am 18. Februar 2022.
Hat Samsung Lieferschwierigkeiten?In Anbetracht dieser Lieferengpässe in Deutschland ist es deshalb umso erstaunlicher, dass Samsung die Smartphone-Produktion in einer seiner größten Fabriken in Vietnam kürzlich gedrosselt hat. Wie wir berichteten, werden die dortigen Angestellten momentan per Kurzarbeit nur noch drei Tage pro Woche beschäftigt.
