"Galaxy S22" first impression--changes from the previous model are images
At the "Galaxy Unpacked" event held online on February 9th, Samsung announced three new smartphone models "Galaxy S22", "Galaxy S22+", "Galaxy S22 Ultra" and the tablet "Galaxy Tab S8" series. announced. In the new Galaxy S22 series, several functions have been improved and new functions have been added to the S22 and S22+, but there have been no dramatic changes from the "Galaxy S21" series. Looking at what's new, in some markets such as the US where Samsung's "Exynos" processors cannot be procured, both the S22 and S22+ will be equipped with Qualcomm's "Snapdragon 8 Gen 1" chip. The battery capacity has decreased slightly for both models, but since it uses the unique user interface "One UI 4.1" compatible with "Android 12", the driving time will not be shortened due to the decrease in battery capacity. deaf. The design of the S22 and S22+ is almost the same as the S21 series, and the protruding part of the camera lens is fused with the side part of the main body. The two-tone color scheme used in the S21 is still alive, but the S22 is less flashy than the previous model. The overall size of the main body has been reduced by a few millimeters, giving it a slightly angular look. The back is made of glass instead of plastic. The display boasts a high refresh rate of 120Hz even in this model, but the size is 6.1 inches for the S22 and 6.6 inches for the S22+, which is slightly smaller than the previous model released in 2021. Both models are 5G compatible and have IP68 grade waterproof and dustproof performance. In addition, the S22+ supports UWB (Ultra Wideband) for products such as Samsung's anti-lost tracker "Galaxy Smart Tag+". As for the camera, it can be said that the ultra-wide-angle, telephoto, and selfie cameras are almost the same as the S21 series. As for the main camera, a new 50-megapixel sensor has been installed, replacing the 64-megapixel of the S21 and S21+. Samsung claims that both photos and videos have improved image quality in low-light situations, but this is mainly due to image processing. For photos, all models in the S22 series use a combination of pixel binning (the technique of combining multiple small pixels to create one large pixel) and high-resolution images to capture fine details with less noise. is producing For video, Samsung has adopted the method Apple uses for its "iPhone". In low-light locations, the optimum frame rate for the scene is automatically selected, and the frame rate can be changed during shooting. It also allows you to combine multiple exposures into a single video frame, further improving the quality of videos shot in low light. None of these upgrades will exceed the expected scope of the annual release cycle. As far as the specs are concerned, the S22 and S22+ are considered reasonable successors to the S21 and S21+, respectively.
