What are the Galaxy S22 Specs?
In terms of display size, Samsung slightly decreased screen sizes across the board in comparison with last year’s Galaxy S21 series. Thus, we get a Galaxy S22 with a 6.1-inch display, an S22 Plus with a 6.6-inch one, and an S22 Ultra with a 6.8-inch display. The Galaxy S22 Ultra can intelligently switch between 1fps and 120fps depending on the on-screen content that the user is enjoying, while the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus can switch between 48 and 120Hz.
The Galaxy S22 series are powered by its own Exynos and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon’s top chipset depending on the region. The top Qualcomm chipset right now is built with a 4nm manufacturing process and comes with a high-performance Cortex-X2 core at 3000 MHz, three Cortex-A710 cores running at 2500 MHz, and Cortex-A510 cores clocked at up to 1800 MHz.
The 4nm Exynos 2200 sports the latest and greatest ARM-based CPU cores and an upgraded neural processing unit (NPU) to give the component a powerful edge in mobile gaming, photography, and social media apps. It also comes with the AMD RDNA 2 GPU, which brings ray tracing to mobile GPUs for the very first time and promises exceptional gaming performance.
