Feb 22. 2022

Hong Kong – February 17, 2022 – Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited today announced the launch of its brand-new flagship Galaxy S22 Ultra, which will be available for pre-order in Hong Kong from tomorrow (Feb 18). Combining the features of Samsung's two iconic series, the phone is equipped with the superior camera and hardware performance from the S series, as well as the S Pen, a signature element of the Note series, being the most powerful Galaxy device ever. The Galaxy S22 Ultra features a range of top-notch functions including the built-in S Pen, new Nightography and videography features, upgraded screen brightness and a longer battery life, allowing users to enjoy a new mobile experience with the most powerful Galaxy smartphone ever, whether for work or play.

 

“Samsung recognizes users’ increasing demand for mobile technology and that having all powerful features on one smartphone will enable customers with a more comprehensive mobile experience. The Galaxy S22 Ultra combines the outstanding technologies from Samsung’s flagship devices to break the boundaries of smartphones and set a new standard in mobile devices, wishing to help users take on a more challenging world easily with high-tech and a more convenient experience,” said Ms. Yiyin Zhao, Managing Director of Samsung Electronics H.K. Company, Limited.

 

Combining Features From Two Series to Enable Powerful Performance

Samsung has always been aware of what users love about the Note series, especially the built-in S Pen. Upon the previous generation, Galaxy S21 Ultra, which supported the S Pen for the first time, Samsung has pursued a step further by introducing the built-in S Pen of the Note series to the S series. The S Pen is built in the device with advanced performance, being the fastest and most responsive S Pen ever, with 70% lower latency than before[1]. With AI prediction to foresee line drawings and writing directions, the Galaxy S22 Ultra's large screen gives users a more realistic experience when jotting down work notes or drawing when inspired, allowing people to record their thoughts in life and bringing an unprecedented mobile experience.

 

Ultimate Performance Breaks Through the Night, Capturing Stunning Photos and Videos, Day or Night

The Galaxy S22 series devices are equipped with advanced Nightography, enabling users to capture crisp, clear images even in the dark. The Galaxy S22 Ultra features a 2.4um pixel sensor that captures more light and data, optimizing the light and detail of the video clips. In addition to the Space Zoom that enables 100x zoom in, the powerful AI algorithm allows users to take amazing photos in any light conditions. The 108MP main camera and the 12MP ultra-wide camera can record rich details and brightness of a photo, producing images with different highlights. Introducing the night mode to the Portrait mode, users can take amazing portrait photos and videos at low-light environment. Whether to go shooting at night or join glamping, users are always able to capture precious gathering moments with friends, day or night.

 

The Galaxy S22 Ultra also produces outstanding performance in terms of videography at night. Its advanced Super Clear Glass lens help users take smoother and clearer night-time videos without flares. The phone automatically adjusts the frame rate when shooting videos, so that users can shoot videos in bright and vivid colors even at night. The Galaxy S22 Ultra's pro-grade camera reduces vibration by 58%, with improved OIS angle correction and faster motion sampling to stabilise the shots. The phone senses the range of motion with great speed and precision, providing smooth, consistent clarity throughout the shooting, to provide a steady result.

 

Samsung understands that some users are looking for professional-level photography and want to capture master-class photos with their mobile phones. The Galaxy S22 Ultra offers exclusive access to the Expert Raw app[2], which features a suite of in-camera editing tools, such as adjusting ISO settings and shutter speed. With the ability to save photos in RAW format up to 16bit, users can make further editing easily with more of their images’ data.

 

Break The Rule of Power: Pushing The Boundaries For Work And Play

Samsung is committed to improving smartphone performance in all aspects, striving to produce the most powerful and durable device. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is equipped with the latest 4nm processor, the highest performance among Galaxy devices, giving users ultimately smooth experience, whether they're vlogging their daily life, running errands or playing mobile games overnight. Equipped with an ultra-long-lasting battery, enabling all-day use on a single charge[3], users don’t need to worry about the battery even if they go out camping all night. The Galaxy S22 Ultra also supports 45W super-fast charging, so users can record 50 minutes of video after only a 10-minute charge[4]. Even if users forget to charge their phone before heading out, it only takes a moment to get it charged, allowing users to enjoy every moment with the phone.

 

The Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with a 6.8-inch[5] Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with Vision Booster technology and a brightness of up to 1,750nits. By intelligently adjusting the brightness, users can reply to emails or shoot short videos even under strong sunlight. The 120Hz refresh rate keeps the screen scrolling smoothly, making it smoother when playing mobile games.

 

Iconic Designs of Different Galaxy Series Forge a New Generation of Stylish Device

The Galaxy S22 Ultra seamlessly integrates camera lenses and slim bezels into a perfectly symmetrical frame, introducing the S series with streamlined design for an elegant outline.  Luxurious glass and haze finishing, completed with Galaxy Note’s iconic sharp angles, presenting the attractive integration of two Galaxy series on the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Galaxy S22 Ultra is available in a range of timeless colors. The brand-new Burgundy adds an elegant touch, while the Green color is a symbol of nature. The classic Phantom Black and Phantom White release an understatement nobleness. The phone features durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ and IP68 water resistance rating, allowing use for trips anywhere, anytime.

 

In addition to the powerful hardware, the UI design of the Galaxy S22 series makes it easy for users to make their phone their own. Samsung’s new One UI interface allows customizations of the home screen and widget. Users can tailor their icon colors, widgets, color palette, and more to their personal preferences, and create a personalized mobile experience. One UI also ensures easy access to a wealth of emojis, GIFs, and stickers directly on the keyboard, so users can instantly communicate exactly how they feel without typing a single word[6]. Protected by Samsung’s powerful Knox Vault security platform, the phone includes a secure processor and memory that completely isolates sensitive data like passwords, biometrics, or Blockchain keys from the phone’s main operating system, providing a more secure user experience. The Galaxy S22 series will be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades and up to five years of security updates, providing users with more practical functions and more persistent protection.

 

Cross-Device Connectivity for an All-Round Galaxy Ecosystem

Samsung also introduces an all new line of Galaxy Tab S8 series, including Tab S8, Tab S8+ and Tab S8 Ultra, built and designed to meet the needs of users who work, study and play. With the Galaxy Watch4 and Galaxy Buds Pro, users can be connected seamlessly among multiple devices and can spend every moment of their lives with the Galaxy ecosystem, enjoying the diversified mobile experience created by Samsung.
