Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 specifications revealed at thrilling Galaxy Unpacked 2022 live stream

Samsung’s annual Galaxy Unpacked event for 2022 revealed more details about their next generation smartphones and had a few interesting surprises too including the Galaxy Tab S8 series tablets.

While the limelight is taken up by their Galaxy S22 Ultra which integrates an S Pen stylus, its siblings, the Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 specifications and slick design were equally noteworthy as well. Here’s what they revealed at Galaxy Unpacked 2022…

Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Design

Unlike the design of the Galaxy S22 Ultra which draws more on the heritage of the Galaxy Note series with rounded sides and a flat squared off top and bottom, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus more closely resemble their predecessors the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21 Plus with a raised silvery camera housing in the rear backplate and rounded curves all around.

Both the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus come in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Pink Gold and Green

The chassis itself is made of Armor Aluminum that offers 30% enhanced resistance to nicks versus conventional aluminium that was first used in the Galaxy Z Fold3. The Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus are also IP68 dust and water resistant. Chassis and aesthetics aside, here’s how the Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 specifications stack up…

The smaller Galaxy S22 features a 6.1-inch Full HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate, a 240Hz Touch Sampling rate in Game mode and their Vision Booster tech that ensures good colour reproduction under all light conditions onscreen. Inset in a small punchhole is a 10MP F/2.2 selfie camera. 

On the rear of the phone is arguably the cornerstone of what makes the Galaxy S22 and its larger Galaxy S22 Plus sibling unique – its triple camera system. This time around, Samsung has superior low light performance as the crux of their new camera array.

 Galaxy S22 specifications

The Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus have a slightly raised camera housing that harkens back to the Galaxy S21 series’ design

The new triple camera array leverages the neural processing unit (NPU) of their CPU to offer brighter, cleaner shots even in low light. You’re getting a 50MP F/1.8 Dual Pixel AF camera with OIS to handle the grunt work, a 12MP F/2.2 ultra wide camera and a telephoto camera with 3X optical zoom.

Powering the phone is either the Exynos 2200 or Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor depending on region running Android 12 with One UI 4.1 and WiFi 6, Bluetooth v5.2 and both LTE and 5G connectivity support. RAM is fixed at 8GB but you’re able to acquire the Galaxy S22 with either 128GB or 256GB of non-expandable storage. 

Keeping it powered is a 3,700mAh battery with 25W wired charging, 15W wireless charging and wireless PowerShare to charge other Qi-wireless charging gear like their Galaxy Buds Pro, Galaxy Watch 4 and the like. Like last year’s Galaxy S21, this year’s Galaxy S22 only ships with the USB charging cable and the phone itself so you’ll have to get your own charger to juice it.

What is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus

The larger Galaxy S22 Plus has the same 4nm processor, RAM and storage configurations, identical front 10MP selfie camera and rear triple camera array as the Galaxy S22.

A size comparison between the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 Ultra

Where it differs is that it has a larger 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with a similar 120Hz refresh rate, a larger 4,500mAh battery with faster 45W wired charger versus the S22’s 25W charging, 15W wireless charging and wireless PowerShare support. Rather than WiFi 6, the Galaxy S22 Plus has faster WiFi 6E and also has Ultra Wideband Support like the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Unfortunately, it also lacks a bundled charger. 

Colour choices for the Galaxy S22 Plus and Galaxy S22 are Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green and Pink Gold depending on region. Another thing to note is that while it’s larger sibling the Galaxy S22 Ultra has a built-in S Pen stylus, the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus lack one and don’t have S Pen support.
