The Samsung Galaxy S22 family was released in 2022, with a top-end S22 Ultra that replaced the Galaxy Note series.
With three phones in the range - S22, S22 Plus, S22 Ultra - there's something for everyone. Here's everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S22.
Samsung Galaxy S22 design and display
The Galaxy S22 boasts a 6.1-inch FHD+ AMOLED display, 120Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch input rate.
The colours on the screen are bright and bold, with deep, dark blacks and all the brightness you need for very bright environments like direct sunlight.
The S22 has a very similar design to the S21. It has a Contour Cut camera panel, no 3.5mm headphone jack and a flat-edged front display. In fact, there’s a premium boost in the shape of a glass back as opposed to plastic.
It’s a good-sized device - not too big, not too small. It’s ideal for one-handed use. As for available colours, it comes in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Pink Gold or Green.
