Samsung never disappoints when it comes to display. Same is the case here as all of the Galaxy S22 models have impressive Amoled displays. There are obvious differences in their screen sizes. The S22 Ultra has the best display with 500 ppi pixel density. 

Body of the S22 and S22+ are thin and sleek (7.6mm) but the S22 ultra has a bulkier width (8.9mm) due to the inclusion of a Stylus. We believe that the company is replacing the Note series with the S22 Ultra models.

It’s clear that the camera of Samsung S22 Ultra is the best among others in the S22 series. Though you’ll still be able to take very good pictures with the other two models as well. Rear cameras of these Samsung flagship devices can record upto 8K videos. Ultra beats others in the selfie camera department as well due to its 40 MP front camera.

We cannot expect anything less than the best from the Samsung flagship mobile phones. All models of S22 series promise superior performance due to flagship processors and ultrafast memory speed. It is the first time Samsung is coming with a flagship phone having Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in Pakistan. However, Samsung’s own chipset and graphics processors are also competitive and capable enough to perform under most demanding situations. It means  Samsung S22 series might be the best gaming phones in 2022.

Samsung flagship series always come up with the latest and the most useful features. However, the S22  comes with a 3700 mAh battery capacity and 25W fast charging, which is quite disappointing. Though, its high end variant (S22 Ultra) has 5000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging. We are already seeing more battery capacity and charging speed from the other brands. It is one area where Samsung can do better.
