The new Samsung Galaxy S22 series has what the company is calling “Nightography” features like the 23% larger sensor than S21 and S21+ and Adaptive Pixel technology. Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ are built with a powerful 50MP primary camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens. 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.

Samsung is also touting the AI features of its cameras, saying Portrait Mode photos will be near perfect with its new AI Stereo Depth Map and its AI algorithms. The Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ also have the first-ever 4nm processor on a Galaxy smartphone.

A lightning-fast processor demands power that can keep pace. Galaxy S22 is built with a robust all-day battery and 25W fast charging 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 2x adaptive 120Hz display, designed for the best in gaming and watching.

S22 and S22+ will also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo live sharing to view photos in Gallery with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes – even while you’re apart.

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.

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. 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.
