OPENING MOVE

THE FIRST quarter doesn’t just set the tone for the year in the gadget space, it’s also a time when brands are busy rolling out new smartphones. Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra flagship series was one of the first launches of the year along with big product updates from OPPO and OnePlus: SAMSUNG’S first major showstopper of the year is also a confluence of sorts between its Note Series and flagship S Series. Note fans have had to wait since 2020 and the Note 20 Ultra for a Samsung flagship with an S Pen or inbuilt stylus. The S22 Ultra features the fastest, most responsive (70 per cent lower latency than the Note 20 Ultra) S Pen on any Samsung smartphone. The major talking point of the S22 Ultra isn’t just the S Pen; it’s ‘Nightography’.

The rear cam features a 2.4um pixel sensor — Samsung’s largest pixel sensor ever, allowing the camera lenses to capture more light and data, optimising the lighting and detail of your video clips.

The S22 Ultra’s advanced Super Clear Glass lens helps you take smoother and clearer night-time videos without flares. The Ultra also incorporates dual zoom lenses for terrific zoom photography capabilities. Just what you need on your next wildlife holiday.

We’ve always been fans of Samsung’s flagship displays This one boasts of an immersive 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a peak brightness of 1750 nits. Vision Booster technology adjusts brightness and offers the best possible view of your content even in bright sunlight. It is a hardware powerhouse with an advanced 4nm processor, two internal storage variants (256GB or 512GB) and robust 5000 mAh battery.
