Samsung Galaxy S22: Specifications

The new Galaxy S22 appears to have a near-identical design to the last generation of Galaxy S21 flagship series, that is, until you look at the flat side panels. The entire phone is less curvy, and while there is still some curvature on the rear back panel and on the front, it’s far more minimal than on previous Samsung devices.

The display features a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel that has an FHD+ 1080 x 2340 resolution. The panel also comes with an adaptive 10-120Hz refresh rate, and it features 240Hz Touch Sampling Rate to make gaming and scrolling smoother and jitter-free. Both the front and back glass panels are featuring the latest Gorilla Glass Victus+ panel to offer even more protection. The display is excellent for watching movies, playing games, and browsing the web in all lighting conditions, and bright it can get, it can go up to 1,300 nits.

On the display, you will also spot the same punch-hole cutout, which houses the 10MP front-facing selfie camera with f/2.2 aperture and offers 80-degrees of FOV. Flipping the device to the backside, we’ll also see three rear cameras. The primary camera is a 50MP f/1.8 sensor with1.0μm, FOV 85-degrees. The secondary is a 12MP ultrawide, f/2.2, 1.4μm, FOV 120-degrees, while the third unit is a telephoto with 10MP, f/2.4, 1.0μm. The telephoto can shoot at 3x optical zoom, and it also has the impressive 30x Space Zoom feature. The rear cameras have improved night mode and better shooting capabilities to capture more realistic images in dark and low-light conditions.

All of this is powered by the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and Exynos 2200 chipset (both chipsets are market dependent). The new chips are coupled with 8GB of RAM and 128GB or 256GB of built-in storage. Both models feature Samsung’s Knox and have more advanced GPU and AI enhancements to make the performance smoother and more fluid under load, while playing graphics-intensive games, and processing images and private information.

Last but not least, Samsung packed a fairly small 3,700 mAh battery inside the Galaxy S22, which is now finally compatible to charge at 25W via a cable. The device also supports Qi wireless charging at 15W, and it comes with reverse wireless charging, and Samsung made sure it is also USB-IF compliant. Galaxy S22 supports 5G, both mmWave and Sub6, as well as 4G LTE, and Wi-Fi 6 (ax, Dual Band). Unfortunately, Ultra-Wideband is limited to the Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra.
