The Samsung Galaxy S22 comes with a 6.1-inch dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 2,340 x 1,080 pixels resolution, ~425ppi density, ~87.4% screen-to-body ratio, and not to mention Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection. The screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 1,300 nits peak brightness.
Running on One UI 4.1 atop Android 12, the handset is powered by Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor built with 4nm fabrication. It’s an octa-core processor with a single 3.00GHz Cortex-X2 core, three 2.40GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and four 1.70GHz Cortex-A510 cores. For graphics, there is an Adreno 730 unit.
Moving on, the device comes in 8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 3.1 storage variants.
Talking about the camera, there is a triple camera setup at the back comprising an f/1.8 50MP wide sensor with dual pixel PDAF and OIS, an f/2.4 10MP telephoto unit with PDAF, OIS, and 3x optical zoom, and finally an f/2.2 12MP ultrawide shooter with super steady video mode. The module can capture up to 8K resolution videos at 24fps, 4K videos at 30/60fps, 1080p videos at 30/60/240fps, and 720p at 960fps.
Similarly, the front gets an f/2.2 10MP wide sensor with dual pixel PDAF for selfies. There are dual video call and auto-HDR modes too. Also, the front module can capture up to 4K videos at 30/60fps and 1080p videos at 30fps.
The connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and USB Type-C 3.2. You will not get a 3.5mm audio jack here.
A non-removable Li-Ion 3,700mAh cell with 25W fast charging keeps the lights on. The battery is also rated for 15W fast Qi/PMA wireless charging and 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
