The much-awaited Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has finally been announced in Nepal. In terms of design, Galaxy S22 Ultra takes its inspiration from the Samsung Note lineup whilst introducing a built-in slot for the S-Pen. The S-Pen, similarly, is said to deliver 70% less latency than the one seen in the Note 20 Ultra. Galaxy S22 Ultra also flaunts a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with curves on both the left and the right corners.
Here we will take a detailed overview of the device followed by its expected price in Nepal and availability.

Measuring 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9 mm in dimension, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra weighs around 228g. The back is glass with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection while the frame is made up of aluminum. And the display also uses the same Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ for added strength.
The handset is rated for dust and water resistance with IP68 certification asserted to provide protection up to 1.5m for 30 minutes.
The front gets a dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 3088 x 1440 pixels resolution, ~500 ppi density, ~90.2% screen-to-body ratio, HDR10+, 1750nits peak brightness, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen supports always-on-display.
Running on One UI 4.1 on top of Android 12, S22 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC based on 4nm fabrication. In Europe, however, it uses Exynos 2200 chipset based on a 4nm process.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is a quad-core processor with a single 3.00GHz Cortex-X2 core, three 2.40GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and four 1.70GHz Cortex-A510 cores. Paired with it is an Adreno 730 unit for graphical processing.

The rear sensor can capture up to 8K resolution videos at 24fps, 4K at 30/60fps, 1080p at 30/60/240fps, and 720p at 960fps.
