Create, capture, and share your best moments
with pro-grade AI camera features on the latest Galaxy S series
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled Galaxy S22 and S22+, two
flagship devices that power creativity and self-expression. Galaxy S22 and S22+
introduce dynamic cameras with advanced intelligent image processing to make
every moment epic. Built with a bold, sustainably conscious design, Galaxy S22
and S22+ are designed to be both beautiful and environmentally conscious.
“Our smartphone cameras have transformed the
way we create, share, and communicate. Through photos and videos, we express ourselves
and connect with the people we care about,” said TM Roh, President and
Head of Samsung Electronics’ MX (Mobile eXperience) Business. “That’s why we
focused on designing our latest S series devices with groundbreaking camera
capabilities that work day and night, powered by our best mobile performance
yet.”
Own the Night with Samsung’s Most Intelligent
Camera Yet
Galaxy S22 and
S22+ are designed to deliver next-level camera experiences, so people can
connect and share wherever they are. With the Galaxy S22 series’ revolutionary
new Nightography features – like the 23% larger sensor than S21 and S21+ and
Adaptive Pixel technology – your camera is designed to let in more light, draw
out details, and capture colors that make your content pop, even in the dark[1]. Both Galaxy S22 and S22+
are built with a powerful 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide
lens, so you always get the high quality shots. When you’re capturing videos
with friends, the new Auto Framing[2] feature detects and tracks
up to 10 people and automatically adjusts the camera’s focus, so your camera
captures everyone clearly. Both devices are powered by advanced VDIS technology
which minimizes vibrations, so you get smooth, sharp footage even when you’re
on the move.
Galaxy S22 and
S22+ are also equipped with Samsung’s latest AI technology that takes your
photos to the next level. It’s easy to take perfect Portrait Mode photos with
the new AI Stereo Depth Map, and your subjects will look better than ever with
even the smallest details appearing crisp and clear thanks to a sophisticated
AI algorithm. The same works for your favorite furry friend: Galaxy S22/S22+’s
new Portrait mode helps prevent pet hair from blending into the background, so
you always get the best shot of your pet.
Power and Performance that Keep up with Your
Life
From work to home, Galaxy S22 and S22+ are
designed to power you through even the busiest days with the first-ever 4nm
processor on a Galaxy smartphone. It powers our most advanced AI and ML processing
to date, delivering unrivaled performance for all your streaming and
productivity needs. What’s more, network behavior analysis streamlines your app
performance by automatically detecting which app you’re using and directing the
most power there – so steaming, surfing the web, and navigating apps have never
been smoother.
A lightning-fast
processor demands power that can keep pace. Galaxy S22 is built with a robust
all-day battery[3] and 25W fast charging[4] that never slows you down,
and Galaxy S22+ features a super powerful battery that can last even longer
than a day on a single charge. Galaxy S22+ also offers 45W super-fast charging,
so you don’t have to wait when your power is running low.
Streaming a movie
or your favorite show will look even better on Galaxy S22 and S22+’s beautiful
displays. Both devices come equipped with a Dynamic AMOLED[5]
2x adaptive 120Hz display, designed for the best in gaming and watching.
Whether you choose Galaxy S22’s premium 6.1-inch display or Galaxy S22+’s
6.6-inch,[6] each screen is built with
intelligent Vision Booster technology that automatically adjusts the display to
the lighting around you and enhances the color contrast, so you can enjoy the
best possible view of your content. Plus, hardware performance enhancements
have improved display brightness – S22 has a peak brightness of 1,300nit while
S22+ features a peak 1,750nit.[7]
S22 and S22+ will
also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our
partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo[8]
live sharing[9] to view photos in Gallery
with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes – even
while you’re apart.
Design to Perfection and Built to Last
Both Galaxy S22
and S22+ feature the S series’ iconic, fan-favorite Contour-Cut design that
blends the camera seamlessly into the housing. To create a sleeker and more
refined look, Samsung built both devices with a distinctive flat display,
complete with a luxurious glass and haze finish. Now, the S series camera
housing is designed to match the color of the device’s body with a slim and
symmetric metal frame for a seamless look. The result is a balanced, unified
design that’s modern, fashionable, and sleek. Both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and
S22+ are available in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and Pink Gold.[10]
And that stunning
design is built to last: the Galaxy S22 Series presents Samsung’s most durable
mobile devices yet. Galaxy S22 and S22+ are the first S series models made with
Armor Aluminum – our strongest aluminum
frame, so you can take your phone anywhere with peace of mind. The Galaxy S22
series is also the first smartphones to feature new Corning® Gorilla® Glass
Victus®+. The S22 series devices are equipped with this tough glass on the
front and back, so you can worry less about accidental drops.
But we know true
durability is not just about hardware. As part of our commitment to giving
users the best possible mobile performance and experience, the entire Galaxy
S22 series will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades.[11] Now millions of Galaxy
users can take advantage of the latest security, productivity, and other
exciting new features, for longer. Samsung will scale this effort across our
product line-up to ensure you’re fully supported across your Galaxy ecosystem.
The Galaxy S
series also makes it easy to make your phone your own. You can use Samsung’s
clean and intuitive new One UI user interface to customize the look and feel of
your home screen and widget. Tailor your icon colors, widgets, color palette,
and more to your personal preferences, and create a mobile experience that
reflects who you are. One UI also gives you easy access to a wealth of emojis,
GIFs, and stickers directly on your keyboard, so you can instantly communicate
exactly how you feel without typing a single word[12].
Help Build a Sustainable Future through Galaxy
for the Planet
As our most eco-conscious device ever, the Galaxy S22 series pioneers
mobile technology while supporting our planet. Plastic pollution poses serious
threats to our environment, and discarded fishing nets are especially harmful
to marine life and our oceans. By collaborating with leading organizations,
Samsung helps recover discarded fishing nets[13]
and transforms them into a high-performance material for our smartphones. This
material – used in the Galaxy S22 series’ component, key bracket – contains 20%
recycled ocean-bound plastic[14] from discarded fishing
nets. The Galaxy S22 series also incorporates post-consumer recycled material
in its speaker module, as well as the inner parts of the power and volume keys.
In addition to ocean-bound plastics, we use 100% recycled paper for the
Galaxy S22’s packaging and include a protective film made from recycled
plastic. Every smartphone case is also designed with UL-certified,
eco-conscious materials[15] – such as recycled
post-consumer plastics or bio-based substances. These purposeful innovations
are the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to doing more with less as part
of Galaxy for the Planet.
Security You Can Trust
The Galaxy S22
series is secured by Samsung’s powerful Knox Vault security platform, which
includes a secure processor and memory that completely isolates sensitive data like
your passwords, biometrics, or Blockchain keys from the phone’s main operating
system. One UI's privacy dashboard and Indicator make it easy to see which apps
are accessing your data and camera, so you can decide whether to grant or deny
permission to each app. The Galaxy S22 series also introduces several new
security features, including ARM micro architecture, which helps prevent
cyberattacks that target your operating system and memory.
Stay Connected with the Galaxy Ecosystem
Alongside the new
S22 series, Samsung is introducing an all-new line of tablets and a pack of
updated features for Galaxy Watch4 so that Galaxy users can stay connected in
every aspect of their lives. Built for a new era of connectivity, Galaxy Tab S8
series– including Tab S8 WiFi/5G, Tab S8+ 5G and Tab S8 Ultra 5G – is Samsung’s
most versatile line of tablets ever, built and designed to meet the
ever-changing needs of those who work, study, play and create.
