Uswitch comments on the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 range
Ru Bhikha, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, comments: “Samsung has once again delivered what the tech giant is best known for - robust, good-quality handsets with impressive specs and innovative features.
“The most noticeable difference between the S22 and the S22+ is the handset size. The S22 Ultra is the more impressive flagship model, but it also comes with a hefty price tag.
“Last year we saw the S21 Ultra launch with S Pen compatibility and this year the S22 Ultra goes one step further, including one in its slot in the handset. Sadly, this does likely mean that the nail is in the coffin for the Note series, which proved popular with people using their phone for work or gaming.
“The improved performance in the range does result in an impact on battery life and Samsung fans will be disappointed to learn that the S22 and S22+ both see a 300mAh downgrade compared with last year’s models.
“The good news is that the S22+ and the Ultra come with up to 45W charging, which should compensate by speeding up recharging.
“Following the launch of the iPhone 13 Pro and the Google Pixel 6 Pro in the latter half of 2021, Samsung had some competition for the best camera - an area it has tended to dominate over the years.
“The removal of the chunky camera hump in the rear cameras of the Ultra make this one of the most visually appealing camera setups we’ve had from Samsung.
“The video camera across the three handsets has seen the most notable improvement, with improved stabilisation meaning that every frame of the video gives the user more detail than ever.
“The demand for these three handsets is set to be high, but with global supply chain issues still having an effect on the availability of tech in some countries, it will be important that Samsung does everything it can in the coming weeks to iron out any issues.”
