Hong Kong – 17 February, 2022 – Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited today announced the launch of its flagship smartphones, Galaxy S22 and S22+, and will officially start pre-orders in Hong Kong from tomorrow (18 February). The Galaxy S22 and S22+ feature fully upgraded, pro-grade cameras that push the boundaries between day and night, allowing users to capture epic life moments even in dim light.

 

“Samsung has been continuously introducing various innovations in mobile technology, hoping to bring more advanced technological products to consumers. The Galaxy S22 and S22+ have comprehensively upgraded several important functions, exceeding user's imagination in terms of smartphone camera performance and hardware, breaking the boundaries of mobile technology in many aspects and setting a new milestone for the development of smartphones. Samsung looks forward to continuing to push the boundaries and deliver new mobile experiences to users,” said Ms. Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited.

 

Capturing Bright Daily Moments in Dark Nights Through Nightography

The Galaxy S22 series offers the revolutionary Nightography feature with larger sensors and Adaptive Pixel technology designed to capture colors and brighten the photo by drawing more light into the frame, making the photo bright and clear even in the dark, placing the spotlight on the desired subject. With a 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens, users can capture the most beautiful moments regardless of a pitch black or blinding environment.

Incorporating the latest AI technology, Portrait mode has also been significantly upgraded. Through the new AI Stereo Depth Map, the sophisticated AI algorithm clearly highlights an unparalleled level of detail of the subject. Furthermore, the background and the subject can be distinctly distinguished when using portrait mode, so even if users are shooting in the middle of a busy street, the Galaxy S22 series’ cameras are able to highlight every strand of hair. This feature is not only applicable to capturing friends and family, but it also extends to the best friend of mankind – any user’s beloved pets. The Galaxy S22 and S22+ can differentiate complex backgrounds, preventing furs from blending into the backdrop, easily taking the perfect photo of their pets and catching more beautiful memories.

 

To the vloggers and Youtubers who love filming short videos, the Galaxy S22 series’ thoroughly improved cameras make it easier than ever. With 3x Optical Zoom and 30x Space Zoom, it's easy to capture the details of everyday images. The new Auto Framing feature[1] can detect and track up to 10 people, clearly capturing everyone’s excited expressions on vlogs when recording their daily lives. The improved OIS correction angle, VDIS technology and faster motion sampling greatly stabilize the user's shot. Even in a backlit environment, Super HDR enriches user’s daily life. The high-resolution sensor is equipped with Adaptive Pixel, which can shift its pixels to suit the lighting, and then intelligently adjust shadows and highlights to shoot professional images. Users can easily transfer images to different people and social platforms through Google Guo, Quick Share or the sharing function within apps, effortlessly sharing every moment with friends.

 

Durable Design with Fashionable Colors, Creating New Classics Sustainably

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ feature the S series' most iconic Contour-Cut design, seamlessly blending the camera into the housing. Polished with a haze finish and sturdy Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ to create the toughest phone in the Galaxy series, it brings out a stylish yet durable build. The slim bezel is crafted from Armor Aluminum and blends into a perfectly symmetrical frame for a seamless and fashionable look. The phone is also IP68 certified, and with its protective frame, even if it accidentally falls to the ground or gets wet, it will not compromise its elegant and chic classic appearance. The Galaxy S22 is available in soft Pink Gold, classic Phantom White and Phantom Black; while the Galaxy S22+ is available in Green, Phantom White and Phantom Black.

 

The Galaxy S22 series continues the vision of Galaxy for the Planet, adding several eco-friendly elements to the classic and stylish devices. Samsung recycles discarded fishing nets and transforms them into materials for our smartphones, which are used in the brackets of the Galaxy S22 series. Post-consumer recycled materials have also been added to the internal components of the speaker module, power, and volume keys, in hopes of reducing the serious threat to the environment from plastic waste, further reflecting Samsung's concern for environmental protection and sustainable development.

 

Powerful Smartphone to Stay on Top of Lifestyle Trends

Whether you’re a vlogger, professional gamer or heavy user of social media platforms, the new S22 series enables users to closely follow trends. The 4nm processor is the fastest chip in the Galaxy series, bringing an astonishingly smooth experience. The network behavior analysis streamlines user’s app performance by automatically detecting which app they’re using and directing the most power there – so streaming, surfing the web, and navigating apps have never been smoother. The powerful battery and ultra-fast charging eliminate the need for users to worry about the lack of power during anticipated long hour usage. The Galaxy S22 is equipped with all-day battery[2] and 25W fast charging[3], whilst the Galaxy S22+ offers 45W super-fast charging, so your wait is limited when power is running low. The battery intelligently adapts to how users use their phones, so it increases battery life significantly, meaning that users need not worry if they’re out camping.

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ high-quality displays are also ideal for watching videos and playing games. Whether it's the 6.1-inch display of the Galaxy S22 or the 6.6-inch display of the Galaxy S22+[4], both devices are equipped with Dynamic AMOLED[5] 2X screen. Additionally, the intelligent Vision Booster technology enhances clarity in bright days and dark nights, allowing users to enjoy the best viewing experience at any time, whether they are gaming or watching movies.

 

The Galaxy S22 and S22+ also allow users to stay connected anytime, anywhere. Through Google Duo[6] live sharing[7], users can watch big games or relive old photos with friends even if they are in different places, breaking the boundaries of time and space. With Samsung Notes, users can record meetings with colleagues even when they are working from home, making remote work easier. Users can also use Smart View to project their display to the TV, or pair it with the new Galaxy Tab S8 series and use Samsung Account to seamlessly integrate between the two devices. Users may also connect the two devices, extending a larger screen to watch movies, or utilizing two devices at the same time to create a larger workspace.

 

Brand New UI and Security, Combining Multiple Galaxy Devices for a Perfect Galaxy Ecosystem

The Galaxy S22 series' built-in UI also allows users to easily create unique and exclusive smartphones. Samsung's new One UI user interface allows users to personalize their home screen and Widget, customizing icon colors, widgets, color palette and more settings to their personal preferences, matching different colors and creating a mobile experience that reflects who they are. One UI also gives users easy access to a wealth of emojis, GIFs, and stickers directly on their keyboard to accurately convey how they feel without typing a single word[8]. Through Samsung's powerful Knox Vault security platform, which includes a secure processor and memory, users can completely isolate sensitive data such as passwords, biometric information or blockchain keys on their phone’s main operating system, bringing a more secure user experience. The Galaxy S22 series supports up to four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades, as well as up to five years of security updates, bringing users more advanced practical features and long-lasting device security protection.

 

Samsung has also launched the new Galaxy Tab S8 series including the Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra, three multi-functional tablets which can meet the needs of users in work, study and entertainment. With the Galaxy Watch4 Classic and Galaxy Buds Pro, users can seamlessly connect and use various devices, enjoying every minute of life supported by the Galaxy ecosystem, and experiencing the unprecedented, diversified mobile experience brought by Samsung to users.
