The Samsung website has been updated and pre-orders for the new S-series phones and tablets are now live!
Pre-order Galaxy S22 and S22+ via Samsung
If you want the very top specs and features, the S22 Ultra is clearly the one for you - with a 6.8-inch QHD+ display, a quad camera setup and a built-in S-pen stylus that effectively turns the handset into a mini tablet.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra stands out in the new line-up due to it having a totally different look from the other two handsets. There’s no protruding camera module, while the frame has a more rectangular outline and a curved-edge screen. It comes in Phantom White, Phantom Black, Burgundy and Green.
It has what Samsung is calling “nightography” - which means the phone can handle low-light photos and videos by reducing noise in those conditions. It supports AI based auto-focus and image stabilisation.
The S-Pen slides inside the device itself, and it houses a 5000mAh battery and reduced latency from the Note series so it should be significantly more responsive. It’s the first time a stylus has come in the S-series.

Both handsets are IP68 water resistant and share the same cameras and storage options – 128GB or 256GB.
