The Samsung Galaxy S family will grow this 2022. The Korean company has presented today, at an international virtual event, three telephones and three tablets with different screen sizes, but share a processor and, in the case and telephones, photographic aspirations.
The most ambitious device of those presented today is the S22 Ultra that is the first Galaxy S that inherits the digital pencil of the Galaxy Note. The S21 Ultra, released last year, also endured this accessory, but you had to be acquired separately and there was not a gap on the phone to store it. Now it is integrated into the device and Samsung has reduced latency, which means that the experience will be more similar to writing on a role. There are new applications also to quickly write notes without having to leave the web browser or other open apps.
The other feature that stands out, as is usually usual on high-end telephones, is the camera. It has a rear module with four sensors. There is an ultra-wide angle of 12 megapixels, a 108 megapixel main angular sensor and two 3 and 10 moderate sensors 10 megapixel increases each. On the front, Samsung has integrated a 40 megapixel camera.
Samsung has significantly improved night photography, with better sensitivity in low light and several artificial intelligence routines that allow more detail from the dark areas of the image. Portrait mode has also been improved, with special attention to common problems in this type of functions such as hair cut, and Samsung has created a more advanced Raw photography capture (free), with more information in the The resulting image for greater versatility in the edition.
There are news too on video. During recording the phone can automatically select the number of tables per second depending on the available light and has a better stabilization system. The camera application is also capable of detecting several people in the recording field and framing them automatically so that they are well in the final video.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra premieres the new family of Samsung processors manufactured with a process of 4 nanometers and a new coprocessor for machine learning tasks and artificial intelligence functions that is double of powerful than that of past generation.
The ultra is the greatest of the new Galaxy devices, with a 6.8-inch screen and 120 Hz refreshing speed. It has a battery of 5,000 mAh and can be loaded up to 45W of power. The device may be reserved from today and will be available from February 25 at an approximate price of 1,249 euros for the input model, with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage.
The other telephones announced today are somewhat more modest, although it is also high-end models equipped with last generation cameras and processors. We talk about the Galaxy S22 and S22 +, which are an evolution of the current S21, with screens of 6.1 and 6.6 inches and 120 Hz of refresh rate.
Telephones have three cameras on the back. As in the Galaxy S22 Ultra there is Ultra Wide Angle of 12 Megapixels, a primary angular sensor that in this case has something less resolution, 50 megapixels, and a 3 and 10 megapixel telephoto sensor. The front camera is also somewhat less powerful, with 10 megapixels instead of the 40s of the ultra model.
Video and night photography functions, in any case, are similar and telephones, such as ULTRA model, have an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor under the screen for biometric identification.
With something less size, these models also have a smaller battery and only the S22 + supports load to 45W. The S22 has a fast charge, but limited to 25W. They can be booked from today and will be available in mid-March. The S22 starts at 849 euros with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The S22 + at 1,049 euros for the same memory benefits.
Although phones are undoubtedly the most important announcement of the day, Samsung has also taken advantage of this event to present a new tablet focused on creative and professional users.
It is the Galaxy Tab S8, which is available in three screen sizes (11, 12.4 and 14.6 inches with the S8, S8 + and S8 Ultra names to differentiate them). It is an AMOLED screen with 120 Hz and with a very thin frame, interrupted only by a small notch in the area of the camera.
The device is very powerful, a direct competitor for Apple iPad Pro or Microsoft Surface that can be configured with 16 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of space. As the Galaxy S, these tablets also use the latest generation of Samsung processors, manufactured with a process of 4 nanometers, and boast 15 minutes of battery.
The S-Pen digital pen is included in the device and adheres magnetically to the tablet for transport and load.
Samsung has adapted Android and his ONUI personalization layer, to take advantage of the largest screen and allow a better experience with multiple windows and open apps simultaneously. But if a keyboard cover is connected, TAB8 can also change the desktop to a conventional portable, with floating sales and mouse pointer support.
The tablet has four speakers and is compatible with Dolby Atmos. It will highlight when playing movies and series, but also during the increasingly frequent and this era of pandemic-videoconferences. Three integrated microphones allow reducing the video atmosphere during video calls and the front camera, which covers an angle of 120 degrees, automatically frames those who participate in them.
It is paradoxical that now that the Galaxy S22, in all its forms, have the most marked personality that is never, precisely, when you remember the iPhone. Not physically-or not only physically, because the cheaper models give an air-, but as a finished product, flagship, and even as a telephone with something to say. It is undoubtedly the line that should follow all Samsung terminals in the future.
The constellation of goats on the rear of the Galaxy S22 Ultra occupies almost a quarter of the entire surface and is not suitable for typophobic. In spite of this, it is elegant and each abyss makes sense throughout the whole. Meanwhile, his catalog colleagues opt for a triple lens resolved with a simplicity that seems a lie that had not happened so far.
To this feeling of mature device help the aluminum and the crystal of their bodies, which give funds to the checks that emits the design: it is as good as it seems to be. Screen, speakers and performance should accompany, although for that it will be necessary to try them more thoroughly.
Galaxy S22 and S22 + benefit a lot from this new aspect. They do not seem the economic version of the main model, but telephones of one own range with their characteristics and circumstances. It should be asked, in fact, if they should not be the protagonists and the ultra the exaggerated and histrionic version. And it could be, although, in reality, it seems that the variant that begins to remain in the equation now that the pencil fits in this range is Note.
In the tablet section, Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy Tab S8 + suffer medium-sized child syndrome: all attention is for others. It makes sense, because that of these devices is already a market that seems saturated and with little more to say, while the telephones are the absolute protagonists of the launch. For its part, Tab S8 Ultra is the newborn that all looks and rerupses takes place.
The truth is that it makes sense. In addition to being the novelty, it is a huge tablet, with a spectacular screen and surprisingly powerful speakers. It is, in a way, how to bring a small - in this comparison - personal cinema screen.
The experience of use is surprising and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra is placed as an alternative more for the still suspicious market of convertibles. Your Android environment is not as useful to get through an ultrabook as you can do Windows Surface, but it makes it compensates for an inch. Of course, the pencil and the keyboard are converted into essential accessories for that purpose.
However, the size, say what they say, matters and here sins for excess. Thus, it will be difficult to handle the tablet by holding it with one hand (even though weight, thickness and frames are very balanced) and normally you should rest on the forearm. In prolonged sessions this can be uncomfortable. It remains to be seen if it will be a point against or a simple asterisk on a device that, for the first time, it seems galactic.
