Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Specs

The next Ultra will either be the ultimate phone, period or fall short for each group in some way, attempting to cater to both productivity-focused pen enthusiasts and photography fanatics. We’ve come to see which one it is.

On the surface, S Pen enthusiasts will have little to complain about. The S22 Ultra features the same pen as the Note20 Ultra, plus it has a silo for keeping the stylus within the phone, unlike the S21 Ultra, which requires you to carry it separately until you lose it. The large reductions in latency sound good as well, not that the previous one was horrible.

The camera enthusiast should not be disappointed. The quad arrangement is the same as the S21 Ultra (in theory) and comprises a couple of telephotos with up to 10x magnification as well as an autofocusing ultrawide (that Samsung insists on keeping exclusive to the Ultra). Of course, this is in addition to the large-sensor Nona-binning 108MP primary camera.

The extensive spec sheet (summed up underneath) includes what appears to be the brightest smartphone display to date, the latest Qualcomm or Samsung chipsets (depending on region, as usual), a 1TB storage option (in addition to a 128GB base tier unworthy of the Ultra’s stature), and a knock in battery limit and evaluated charging power.
