Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra in Kenya:
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra marked a major shift in Samsung’s flagship lineup, blending the Note series’ S Pen functionality with the S series’ premium design and camera tech. Here’s what made it stand out:
1. Design & Durability
- First “Ultra” model with built-in S Pen slot – Merging the Note series into the S lineup.
- Armor Aluminum frame + Gorilla Glass Victus+ – Improved drop/scuff resistance over the S21 Ultra.
- IP68 water/dust resistance (1.5m for 30 mins).
2. Display Upgrades
- 6.8″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X with LTPO 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate (smoother scrolling & battery savings).
- 1750 nits peak brightness (best in class at the time) for better outdoor visibility.
- Reduced bezels for a 90.2% screen-to-body ratio.
3. Performance & Chipset
- Exynos 2200 (Global) / Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (ROW) – First with AMD-based Xclipse GPU (ray tracing support).
- Up to 1TB storage + 12GB RAM (UFS 3.1).
- 45W fast charging (vs. 25W on S21 Ultra), though still slower than rivals.
4. Camera Revolution
- 108MP main sensor with laser autofocus for sharper low-light shots.
- Dual telephoto lenses (3x + 10x optical zoom) – Best-in-class zoom capabilities.
- 8K video + Super Steady stabilization for ultra-smooth footage.
- 40MP front camera (up from 10MP in S21 Ultra).
5. S Pen Integration
- 2.8ms latency (like the Note 20 Ultra) with Bluetooth gestures (e.g., remote shutter).
- Built into the phone (no need for separate storage).
6. Software & AI
- One UI 4.1 (Android 12) with better multitasking & DeX support.
- Enhanced Nightography (AI-powered low-light processing).
7. Battery & Charging
- 5000mAh battery (same as S21 Ultra but more efficient).
- 15W wireless + 4.5W reverse charging.
8. Connectivity & Extras
- 5G + Wi-Fi 6E for faster speeds.
- Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (more secure than optical).
- UWB (Ultra-Wideband) for precise device tracking
