An image has appeared on Weibo showing the S22 Ultra + some specifications. Because of this, we seem to finally know what cameras it has, how many megapixels, how big the battery is, how fast it can be charged, and what memory options are expected. We may also have the final retail price for you.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G promises to be the top model of the S22 series with built-in S Pen, 5 cameras on the back, bright and sharp screen on the front and a big battery inside. The cameras on the back are the following:
- 108MP f/1.8 wide angle
- 10MP f/4.9 telephoto for 3x zoom
- 10MP f/4.9 telephoto periscope for 10x zoom
- 12MP f/2.2 ultra wide angle
2 zoom lenses
It is somewhat notable that there are 2 different zoom lenses present. The idea behind this is that you can zoom in at both 3x and 10x and get the sharpest result possible. Also you want a slightly wider image at 3x zoom than at 10x. Using two different lenses offers just that. The front camera is a 40MP one with an f/2.2 wide angle lens.
The image above further mentions an S Pen with a latency of just 2.8ms. That's considerably faster than the 9ms of the S21 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra before it. Writing on the device will feel much more natural as a result.
Memory options S22 Ultra
Other specifications mentioned are a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a peak brightness of 1500 nits. Earlier rumours mentioned 1750-1800 nits. Furthermore, we see a 5000 mAh large battery with 45W fast charging. That's the same size as the S21 Ultra but is faster to charge. In terms of memory options, we don't see any changes. As always those are:
- 12GB RAM / 128GB ROM
- 12GB RAM / 256GB ROM
- 16GB RAM / 512GB ROM
Notable about this is that there will be no 1TB version. Competitor Apple does have a version with that much storage memory. Samsung would follow according to earlier rumours but that does not seem to happen according to this rumour.
S22 series recommended retail prices
What remains are the prices. How much are we going to pay for the S22 Ultra? And how much for the S22+ and S22? The answer to that may be provided by Roland Quandt. According to his information, European prices are as follows:
- S22 8+128GB : €849
- S22 8+256GB : €899
- S22+ 8+128GB : €1049
- S22+ 8+256GB : €1099
- S22 Ultra 8+128GB : €1249
- S22 Ultra 12+256GB : €1349
- S22 Ultra 12+512GB : €1449
If these are indeed the recommended retail prices then the S22 series will be just as expensive as its predecessor. A nice price reduction as with the S21 series will therefore in all likelihood not be given. It is also worth mentioning that the S22 Ultra will have an entry-level version with 8GB of RAM while we do not see that option in the image at the top of the article. The entry-level S21 Ultra got 12GB of RAM memory.
S22 Unpacked Event
Whether the above information is correct will become clear when Samsung officially announces the series. It has already announced that this will happen in February but an exact date is still missing. There are rumours that speak of Tuesday, February 8, there are rumours that speak of Wednesday, February 9. Who is right may soon follow when Samsung announces the exact date.
