The first to come out is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, flagship of the range, which intends to compete with the big players on the market, and in particular the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

For any reservation of a Samsung Galaxy S22, you will have a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro wireless headphones worth 199 euros. However, this offer is only available until the release of the Samsung Galaxy S22!
Where to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S22?
Although the Samsung Galaxy S22 are not already available for sale, it is possible to pre-order them! Pre-order bonuses are even available. It is therefore very interesting to reserve your copy before the official release of smartphones. Thus, the pre-order of a Samsung Galaxy S22 allows you to benefit from a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro wireless headphones (with a market value of 179 euros) as well as a bonus when taking back your old one. device.
Pre-orders on the Samsung Galaxy S22 are notably open at Fnac. Other official resellers should soon join the movement, while offering the same pre-order bonuses.
Pre-ordering a Samsung Galaxy S22 guarantees that you will receive your copy as soon as it is officially released, or very soon after. In particular, stock shortages are beginning to appear on certain models. There is no doubt that these new smartphones are already causing a sensation in the Samsung community!
Samsung reiterates the same strategy for the Galaxy S22 as with its predecessor. The firm took advantage of its conference to unveil not one, but three different models of Samsung Galaxy S22. These have different sizes and characteristics in order to satisfy a wide range of users, as is often the case with this type of launch. The three models offered are:
- The Samsung Galaxy S22.
- The Samsung Galaxy S22+.
- The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 looks a lot like the previous Galaxy S21 released last year. However, it is distinguished by a better processor, the Exynos 2200. The latter will allow you to play many games in maximum quality, while monitoring the level of your battery.
The Galaxy S22 also has three photo sensors for its rear side. A 50 Mpx main, a 12 Mpx Ultra Wide Angle, and a 10 Mpx telephoto lens. Samsung thus provides one of the best experiences for taking day and night shots.
What is the Samsung Galaxy S22+ worth?
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ is very close to the classic model. It differs from its counterpart only by a few small adjustments, in particular at the level of its battery which is 4500 mAh (compared to 3700 for the classic S22). The autonomy of the S22+ will therefore be slightly better than that of the basic version of the telephone. The other big difference of the S22+ lies in its size. The Samsung Galaxy S22+ has a 6.6″ screen (compared to 6.1″ for the S22). This format is more “classic”, and will be more suitable for a majority of users.
What are the differences for the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra?
Regarding the S22 and S22+, the design of the phone is quite similar to its predecessors. The S22 Ultra is equipped witha curved screen, and above all a case dedicated to storing the S-Pen penwhich was notably missing from the brand’s latest foldable phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. This choice is particularly reminiscent of the old Galaxy Note range which had the particularity of being easy to use with a stylus.
But that’s not the only difference the Galaxy S22 Ultra has over its smaller siblings. The latter also has a better battery (5000 mAh) which will allow you to last between a little more than a day and a half depending on the manufacturer.
The screen of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra also stands out from the other two models. It has a Quad HD+ display, and a large size of 6.8″. So you will have to appreciate large phones to take full advantage of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
Finally, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is also equipped with a second Telephoto photo sensor capable of optically zooming up to x10! The latter will allow you to take nice shots on your zoomed scenes. Beyond the x10 optical zoom, it’s a digital zoom that will take over, but at the expense of quality.
Samsung will therefore not have planned a “low cost” model, as Apple had tried with its iPhone mini. The sign had to look at the sales of these, which proved to be quite disappointing for the firm at the apple. Note that it is always possible to find the official announcement of the various Samsung Galaxy S22s on YouTube.
The Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra were officially unveiled at the “Galaxy Unpacked” conference on February 9. These brand new smartphone models will be available very soon! The Samsung Galaxy S22 will be available from February 25 for the Ultra model and from March 11 for the classic version and the S22+.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 are however already available for pre-order. This option notably allows you to take advantage of a nice trade-in bonus on your old device, as well as a pair of Galaxy Buds Pro headphones. However, you will need to quickly purchase, since these bonuses are only temporary while waiting for the official release of the Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra.
Samsung took advantage of its “Galaxy Unpacked” conference to reveal a lot of information about the new Samsung Galaxy S22. Among the latter, we find in particular the characteristics of smartphones, but also their base price for their launch.
- Samsung Galaxy S22: from 859 euros
- Samsung Galaxy S22+: from 1059 euro
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: from 1259 euros
These new smartphones are therefore always positioned at high-end prices. Note that the prices indicated may change depending on the storage space you need.
Despite all the efforts made to keep the Samsung Galaxy S22 secret, the firm has not succeeded in preventing numerous leaks from spreading on the web. Several pieces of information were therefore already known before the official announcement, and confirm the excellent characteristics of the three new Galaxy S22s:
An Exynos 2200 processor
Samsung is one of those manufacturers capable of offering their own in-house processors. The S21 was notably equipped with the Exynos 2100 chip with excellent performance that can compete with Snapdragon processors. It seems that the firm wants to continue in this momentum since our European models still have a homemade chip.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 are therefore all equipped with an Exynos 2200 processor. The latter, if it has excellent results on the various specialized tests, however seems a bit behind compared to the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 unveiled there. a few months old. However, it will be necessary to wait for new tests on the marketed versions of the S22 Ultra to be fixed.
A design very close to its predecessor
The first leaks of the Samsung Galaxy S22 already showed a great resemblance to its predecessor! We find there in particular a photo block placed on the side as well as a front sensor placed in the center of the screen and not directly placed under the screen as is already the case on the brand’s foldable phone, the Z Fold 3.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra differs a little more from its classic counterpart by offering an original P-shaped photo block. The latter also has an additional photo module dedicated to the telephoto lens. The edges of the S22 Ultra also differ from the other two models since they are more rounded in order to leave more room for the screen. The latter is in particular fully compatible with the use of the Samsung S-Pen stylus which is directly available with the smartphone.
Four colors are available for the Samsung Galaxy S22. The first two models (S22 and S22+) are available in Rose Gold, Green, White and Black. The Samsung S22 Ultra replaces the Rose Gold color with an exclusive Burgundy red. These colors are all available on the official Samsung website as well as at specialist retailers.
A high definition screen with 120 Hz
Regarding the screen of the Galaxy S22, they are divided into two distinct categories: on the one hand the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ have a Full HD+ panel while the S22 Ultra is equipped with a QHD+ panel. All three screens, however, are equipped with screens capable of displaying an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. The latter will allow you to benefit from a great fluidity during your games and applications, while saving your battery when necessary. Regarding the sizes relating to the screens, these evolve according to the desired model:
- Samsung Galaxy S22: 6.1″ screen.
- Samsung Galaxy S22+: 6.6 screen“.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 6.6″ screen.
A camera with 50 MP
The current generation of Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ has three photo sensors of 12, 12 and 64 MP respectively. Only the S21 Ultra stood out with four dedicated sensors (12, 108, 10 and 10) for wide angle, ultra wide angle and telephoto. The Samsung Galaxy S22 offered new sensors with a main switch to 50 Mpx. The smartphone thus follows the following model:
- Samsung Galaxy S22: 50MP main sensor / 12MP ultra-wide angle / 10MP telephoto lens.
- Samsung Galaxy S22+: 50MP main sensor / 12MP ultra-wide angle / 10MP telephoto lens.
- Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: main sensor 108 Mpx / ultra wide angle 12 Mpx / 2 telephoto lenses 10 and 10 Mpx.
