Samsung Launches New Galaxy S22 Ultra

Samsung has introduced its next-generation flagship Galaxy S smartphones: the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The company made this announcement during a virtual launch on Wednesday.

A review of the phone, sighted by Investors King shows that the S22 Ultra has a 6.8″ Edge QHD+ dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone includes 5 cameras: a 12 MP ultra-wide, 108 MP wide with dual pixel auto focus, 10 MP 3x and 10 MP 10x telephoto, and a 40 MP front camera. It features a 5,000 mAh battery with up to 45 W wired charging, and 15 W wireless.

Also, the Stylus pen support has a spot inside the phone to store it, with new improvements to the way the stylus works. The latency is lower, and it can transcribe handwritten notes to text in 88 languages. The Galaxy S22 Ultra also has a 5,000-mAh battery, and it supports up to 45-watt fast charging when plugged in. The starting configuration will come with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, while the high-end model includes 12GB of RAM with 1TB of storage.

A remarkable feature is that the newly launched devices can connect to the new, super-fast 5G networks, while also supporting the next generation of Wi-Fi, known as Wi-Fi 6.

According to the CNN, the S22 Ultra, which comes in black, white, green, and burgundy, will start selling at $1,199 while the Galaxy S22 plus starts selling at $799, and the S22+ starts at $999 in the United States.

Investors King gathered that the pre-orders start Wednesday and the device begins shipping on February 25.

Recall that Samsung’s launch of the new devices comes few months after its counterpart, Apple launched the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini.

The phones, which boast of super-fast performance and power efficiency with A15 Bionic, longer battery life, an industry-leading IP68 rating for water resistance, among other features, also have a 5G connectivity.

However, these two tech companies have a wide margin in terms of worth, sales and market value.

According to a report by Investopedia, Apple is the largest company in the world by market cap, which reaches almost $3 trillion. While Samsung is a smaller company than Apple, it is one of the most powerful companies in the world and in South Korea, where it makes up a large portion of the country’s GDP. The report also noted that Samsung has a market capitalization of about $443 billion as of January 2022.
