It’ll come as no surprise that the Samsung Galaxy S22 series looks like a winner – Samsung pulls it out of the bag every year, offering the latest in smartphone tech packed into a range of sleek, sturdy devices.
One thing that all the new models have in common is an eco-conscious spin on things: Samsung has repurposed ocean-bound plastic, like fishing nets, to build the phones.
At the top-end of the new series, you’ll find the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the all-singing all-dancing handset that offers the most advanced tech and the most sophisticated design made for enthusiasts and professionals. Ultra by name, Ultra by nature. It even comes with the S Pen slotted into the body of the phone. Getting a feeling of deja vu? You’re not going crazy: it does look a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Note 20. It was actually inspired by the old Note series, so it was evidently created with productivity in mind.
For those who want top-tier specs but aren’t keen on top-end prices, the Samsung Galaxy S22 and the Samsung Galaxy S22+ are much more modest. At first glance, they aren’t that different to last year’s phones but it’s the new photo and video features that set them apart with the nighttime shots and editing capabilities looking better than ever before.
All seem set to be the very best Android phones this year. Although the Ultra is the cream of the crop, it’s the cheaper models that are likely to convince the most people. We always expect big things from this smartphone giant and it seems like they’ve delivered yet again.
