A first look at Samsung's Galaxy S22 series (Yinon Ben-Shoshan)

Samsung announced tonight (Wednesday) the Galaxy S22 flagship series with three different models: Galaxy S22, and Galaxy S22, alongside the premium model - Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Just before the local announcement and launch, we had the opportunity to experiment with all the devices in the new series and get a first look.

You will find the main innovation in the premium model

From the short time I had with the three devices I was able to be very impressed with them - both in design and performance.

In fact, the base models, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus retain the same look as the previous generation (the S21) and come with a smaller display in a single inch - 6.1 and 6.6 inches respectively, making them more comfortable to hold, almost Just the right amount.



On the other hand, the Galaxy S22 Ultra model maintains the same display size of 6.8 inches, which is not a boon to many of us who are used to both holding the device and operating it with the same hand.

However, the device gets another nicer upgrade in the back - a glass finish and precise cutting of the lenses according to their shape instead of a large square or rectangle as in the base models.

Spectacular screen - an even more camera

To all this can be added the biggest news for fans - which also affects performance:

for the first time, the devices that will arrive in Israel include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset - as in the version that will be sold in the US and China, and not with the Exynos 2200 processor as usual It has often been criticized for seemingly significant differences in performance.



Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 series offers the best experience from a Samsung device, and if you have not upgraded your smartphone in a few years, you should switch to one of the new models. Samsung - Spectacular, with saturated and accurate colors.In the Ultra model, thanks to the high brightness of up to 1750 nits, the result is more than excellent.

As for the photo setup, in a few individual photos I took with the S22 and S22 Plus models, you can notice the difference in photo quality between the regular model and the S22 Ultra model, this is because it includes a more advanced photo setup that incorporates a 108 megapixel main camera.

The pen returns

This is the most significant innovation:

after it officially parted ways with the Note series, Samsung decided to "swallow" the beloved brand into its flagship series - and incorporated a dedicated slot for its S-Pen.



Samsung guarantees a 70 percent lower latency here, so you can write and draw more naturally on the screen.

The good news: it's noticeable.

Much more convenient and natural to write or scribble on the screen.

Prices:

  • Galaxy S22 - starting at NIS 3,050

  • Galaxy S22 Plus - starting at NIS 3,849

  • Galaxy S22 Ultra, model 256 GB - NIS 4,800
