Singapore – February 9, 2022 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G, two flagship devices that power creativity and self-expression for everyday creators. Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G introduce dynamic cameras with advanced intelligent image processing to make every moment epic. With a bold design while incorporating new material developed from repurposed ocean-bound discarded fishing nets, the Galaxy S22 and S22+ are designed to be both beautiful and sustainably conscious.
“Our smartphone cameras have transformed the way we create, share and communicate. As such, with the new Galaxy S22 line up, we’ve built-in top-of-line photography and videography features to help our Galaxy fans capture their best moments. For example, our new Nightography feature has been developed to counter one of the common pain points our consumers face with low light conditions. Both smartphones are also equipped with advanced features such as Auto Framing and Super Steady mode that help capture smooth and sharp footages. These innovations, coupled with power and performance enhancements will truly enable our Galaxy fans to unlock the power of creation – all within the grasp of their hands,” said Sarah Chua, Vice President of IT and Mobile, Samsung Electronics Singapore.
Own the Night with Samsung’s Most Intelligent Camera Yet
Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are designed to deliver next-level camera experiences, so people can connect and share wherever they are. With the Galaxy S22 Series 5G’s revolutionary new Nightography features – featuring a 23% larger sensor compared to the S21 and S21+ smartphones and Adaptive Pixel technology – your camera is designed to let in more light, draw out details, and capture colours that make your content pop, even in the dark[1].
Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are built with a powerful 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens, so you always get high quality shots. When you’re capturing videos with friends, 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 minimises vibrations, so you get smooth, sharp footage even when you’re on the move.
Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are also equipped with Samsung’s latest AI technology that takes your photos to the next level. It’s easy to take perfect Portrait mode photos with the new AI Stereo Depth Map, and your subjects will look better than ever with even the smallest details appearing crisp and clear thanks to a sophisticated AI algorithm. The same works for your favourite furry friend: Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G’s new Portrait mode helps prevent pet hair from blending into the background, so you always get the best shot of your pet.
Power and Performance that Keep up with Your Life
From work to home, Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are designed to power you through even the busiest days with the first-ever 4nm processor on a Galaxy smartphone. It powers our most advanced AI and ML processing to date, delivering unrivalled performance for all your streaming and productivity needs. What’s more, network behaviour analysis streamlines your app performance by automatically detecting which app you’re using and directing the most power there – so that consumers can have a smoother experience with streaming, surfing, or even navigating between apps.
A lightning-fast processor demands power that can keep pace. Galaxy S22 5G is equipped with a 3,700mAh battery and 25W fast charging[3] that never slows you down, while the Galaxy S22+ 5G features a 4,500 mAh battery with 45W super-fast charging, so you don’t have to wait when your power is running low.
Your favourite movies and series will look even better on Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G’s beautiful displays. Both devices come equipped with a Dynamic AMOLED[4] 2X display, which is optimal for action-filled gaming and streaming. Whether you choose Galaxy S22 5G’s premium 6.1-inch display or Galaxy S22+ 5G’s 6.6-inch[5], each screen is built with intelligent Vision Booster technology that automatically adjusts the display to the lighting around you and enhances the colour contrast, so you can enjoy the best possible view of your content. Plus, hardware performance enhancements have improved display brightness – the Galaxy S22 5G has a peak brightness of 1,300nit while Galaxy S22+ 5G features a peak 1,750nit.
Both the Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G will also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo[6] live sharing[7] to view photos in Gallery with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes – even while you’re apart.
Design to Perfection and Built to Last
Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G feature the S series’ iconic, fan-favourite Contour-Cut design that blends the camera seamlessly into the housing. To create a sleeker and more refined look, Samsung built both devices with a distinctive flat display, complete with a luxurious glass and haze finish. Now, the S series camera housing is designed to match the colour 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+ 5G are available in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and Pink Gold. Both smartphones will also be available in Graphite, Cream, Violet and Sky Blue which will be sold exclusively on Samsung Online Store and Samsung Experience Stores.
And that stunning design is built to last: the Galaxy S22 Series 5G presents Samsung’s most durable mobile devices yet. Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G 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 5G also features the Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+. The Galaxy S22 Series 5G devices are equipped with this tough glass on the front and back, so you can worry less about accidental drops.
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 5G will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades[8].
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 4.0 user interface to customise the look and feel of your home screen and widget. Tailor your icon colours, widgets, colour palette, and more to your personal preferences, and create a mobile experience that reflects who you are. One UI also gives you easy access to a wealth of emojis, GIFs, and stickers directly on your keyboard, so you can instantly communicate exactly how you feel without typing a single word9.
Help Build a Sustainable Future through Galaxy for the Planet
As our most eco-conscious device ever, the Galaxy S22 Series 5G pioneers mobile technology while supporting our planet. Plastic pollution poses serious threats to our environment, and discarded fishing nets are especially harmful to marine life and our oceans. By collaborating with leading organisations, Samsung helps recover discarded fishing nets[9] and transforms them into a high performance material for our smartphones. This material – used in the Galaxy S22 Series 5G’s component, key bracket – contains 20% recycled ocean-bound plastic[10] from discarded fishing nets. The Galaxy S22 Series 5G also incorporates post-consumer recycled material in its speaker module, as well as the inner parts of the power and volume keys.
In addition to ocean-bound plastics, we use 100% recycled paper for the Galaxy S22 5G’s packaging and include a protective film made from recycled plastic. Every smartphone case12 is also designed with UL-certified, eco-conscious materials – such as recycled post-consumer plastics or bio-based substances. These purposeful innovations are the latest example of Samsung’s commitment to doing more with less as part of Galaxy for the Planet.
“Our consumers are becoming more aware of their environmental impact. We’re working towards contributing to a more sustainable future by taking small steps through product and material innovation to bring a more eco-conscious product to market,” added Ms. Chua.
Built with Security in mind
Both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are secured by Samsung’s powerful Knox Vault security platform, which protects and isolates sensitive data such as passwords, biometrics or blockchain keys from the main operating system. With One UI 4.0, users can also easily see which apps are accessing your data and camera. In addition, the range of Galaxy S22 Series 5G smartphones will also come with several new security features, including ARM micro architecture, which helps prevent cyberattacks that target your operating system and memory.
Stay Connected with the Galaxy Ecosystem
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Series 5G smartphones now join a greater Galaxy ecosystem to allow users to stay connected in every aspect of their lives. Pair it with the all-new Galaxy Tab S8 Series– including Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra 5G – which offers new work, play and creation scenarios to support the hybrid lifestyles of consumers today. Samsung is also introducing a pack of updated features for Galaxy Watch4, including the ability to install their favourite smartphone apps[11] on their Galaxy Watch4 during initial setup with one tap, creating a seamless experience across devices right out of the box.
Local Availability
Pre-order for the Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G will commence from 9 February 2022, Wednesday, 11pm, and will be available in Singapore from 4 March 2022, Friday, at local telecommunication operators (M1, Singtel and StarHub), major consumer electronics & IT stores, selected authorised mobile retailers, Samsung Online Store, Samsung Experience Stores, and Samsung Official Store in Lazada, Shopee.
