In June of 2010, Samsung released its first entry of what would be their flagship series - Galaxy S. The phone had half a gigabyte of RAM, a 1,500mAh battery, 8GB of storage, and a single-core 45nm processor. Today, you wouldn’t expect specs like that for your smart devices. But back then, it sold very well.
Fast forward to this day of age, the Galaxy S Series, no matter the model, now comes with gorgeous AMOLED displays, top of the line cameras, and of course, a fast, powerful processor that can handle anything you throw at it.
And those points are still true today with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Series, which uses the latest 4nm processor.
Why Does a ‘4nm’ Processor Matter?
When talking about process nodes, which are usually measured in nm, it can get confusing. After all, it seems counterintuitive when technology is usually measured with bigger numbers. More RAM! More cores! More storage!
A smaller size chipset means the process nodes and electrons, which are the ‘tiny workers’ in your processor, can move around quickly to deliver actions and computing work. That also means every command it carries out from photography to network support is quicker, more seamless and more capable.
So, let’s talk “gaming”:
Aside from Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra; the tinier but mighty Galaxy S22 utilises the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor that is 4nm in size to let us achieve unbelievable power. In fact, Samsung has optimised the chipset to allow for demanding gameplays for the entire Galaxy S22 series.
For example; users will be able to enjoy their favourite games like Asphalt 9 & Genshin Impact, which are some of the most demanding games to run on mobile devices. With the smaller size of the 4nm chipset, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will also be able to run the games smoothly at the highest possible setting.
“Hello, I don’t just game”:
You’ll also feel a difference in multitasking. While the Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra may be bigger, the Galaxy S22’s 6.1-inch is still aplenty as a screen that’s sizeable enough to let you see and do more.
Moreover, with the Samsung Dex feature (a must-have productivity tool for minimalists!), you can connect the Galaxy S22 Series to an external display and turn it into a full-blown Android desktop experience, complete with multiple resizable windows and the ability to use a mouse and keyboard.
Lightning-fast Downloading Speeds!
Thanks to the nifty Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Chipset, the Galaxy S22 series will be able to support greater speeds now. How so? The download speeds are extended not just over your local Wi-Fi connection but also via Bluetooth connectivity and according to your area’s supported network as well.
All in all, the connectivity of the Galaxy S22 Series is lightning fast, and online reviews have surfaced that because of the chipset within the devices, it’s fast even in low coverage areas.
Galaxy S22 Series - Super Fast Charging
The Galaxy S22 Series’ batteries are certainly one of the longest-lasting devices, though each model comes with a slightly different capacity and charging situation.
They all support USB Power Delivery 3.0, can wirelessly charge with up to 15W, and can even reverse charge. Galaxy Buds 2 are running near empty? Just use your Galaxy S22 Series!
“Surprise, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s power-efficient too!”
The Galaxy S22 has a 3,700mAh battery, which may seem like a downgrade from S21’s 4000mAh, but the new Snapdragon chip is optimised to be more power-efficient. Now, the battery life is on par or even better than last year’s model on top of having a better processor. It can easily last a full day or so.
And with the 25W charger, get your phone from zero to 60% in just half an hour.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy S22 Plus has an even bigger 4,500mAh battery with 45W charging. With that, the phone can charge up to 70% within 30 minutes.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 on the Galaxy S22 Ultra is also optimised for longer battery life. It has a 5,000mAh battery, which is pretty impressive when you consider that not only is it slightly bigger than the S22 Plus, but it also houses a very fast S-Pen.
Overall, the Galaxy S22 Series has strong battery lives that can handle more than their fair share of gaming, Netflix, and Instagram before needing to be charged.
Things you can do after 10 mins of charging:
- 60 mins of video recording
- 90 mins of video calling
- 4 video streams (“what?”)
Dyanimc AMOLED 2X
Samsung delivers once again when it comes to its displays.
“See everything clearly even when outdoors.”
The series comes with Super AMOLED screens, and are the brightest around with the Galaxy S22 Ultra reaching a peak of 1,750 nits. For context, last year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra only has up to 1,500 nits.
When under direct sunlight, there are no problems navigating the Galaxy S22 Series. Both outdoors and indoors, the displays all remain bright enough that glare isn’t a problem at all.
“Stunning visuals with HDR10+”
Not only is this due to the high nits displays, but also because of Samsung’s new Vision Booster technology. Besides the Sun, it detects surrounding light levels and optimizes your viewing experience. Together with the inclusion of HDR10+, blacks are blacker and colours are more vibrant at accurate levels.
“Go from 1Hz to 120Hz!”
Plus, the Galaxy S22 Series screens are 120hz, which makes your social media scrolling much smoother. This also means speedier gaming for a quicker response.
Don’t worry about the 120hz rate draining your battery. Samsung’s Intelligent Adaptive Refresh Rate can change the refresh of your screen depending on what you’re doing, saving you hours of battery life. Plus, you can choose from as low as 1Hz refresh rate to save more battery!
Continuing from the innovation of the recent Galaxy Z Foldable Series, the Galaxy S22 Series is just as appealing. Especially with these pointers that we mentioned, you won’t regret the powerful performance of these new phones.
