We have had the opportunity to test the beast that is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with its analysis for today to approach the Galaxy S22 +. Android mobile with a great design, flirty in that rose gold color, and with all the potential that can be expected from this series hidden in its entrails. It is more than what appeared at first in the new Samsung.
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ in rose gold that we have had in hand for a few days has left us with a great taste in our mouths. There are certain aspects that Samsung has to improve in future updates, such as night photography that has left us with strange sensations, but in general terms, it offers a great user experience at all levels.
And it is that for the rest, we are facing a phone that stands out with a frankly beautiful and flirty design aimed at a type of public that does not prefer the atrocity of the Galaxy S22 + Ultra and is carried away by something more compact with a flat-screen.
In terms of performance and autonomy, it stands out to lead us to an update to Android 12 with One UI 4.1 that allows us to enjoy some of the advantages of this version, such as RAM Plus to add virtual RAM to improve the performance of applications, or the creation of automatic events in the calendar according to the suggestions that the system itself extracts.
This time the Korean company wanted to accompany the launch of this series with new features in the software so that the experience does not only depend on the hardware. And it is that in this last sense, it wins many integers, and we can say that with the Galaxy S22 +, we will have a phone for a few years.
Screen
The big difference between the Ultra model and this Galaxy S22+ is in the LTPO panel that adjusts the frequency according to the type of content generated on the screen. What helps the autonomy of the terminal? In this case, the S22 + dispenses with that panel to keep a 6.6 “AMOLED screen with FHD + resolution and a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
We are facing one of the essential elements of an Android phone, and in this case, there is no room for indifference to the Galaxy S22+ since it fulfills divinely so that all kinds of content look brilliant.
If you are looking for a phone by its screen, you can say that the search has ended because, in this sense, Samsung stands out enormously in each of its Galaxy S22 series models.
Performance
Exynos 2200 chip gives the full performance potential for an Android mobile that doesn’t wrinkle. As a result of the collaboration with AMD, we are facing the first Samsung phones that have the GPU of this expert company in these matters to carve out a future together of great benefit.
We have noticed how, in a matter of minutes, the chip can cool down after overheating when updating the Galaxy S22+ and launching a game like Genshin Impact when loading textures. A positive point, in this case, shows that it can reduce the temperature of the terminal in a few minutes.
Design
The rose gold color makes us almost think if we have to use a cover, since with the rear camera module on the side. That curved corner, plus the reflections due to its metallic appearance, makes us face a phone very lovely far from the large size of its older brother, the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
The projection has a curvature that, when it reflects the light, produces flashes that originate stylish lines so that, at times, it dazzles us.
The sides of the terminal are metallic as the Samsung Galaxy S5 was in its day, so it leaves us with the feeling that over time it may suffer alterations and lose some of the brightness of the first months after it was released.
The side stripes also provide an interesting point so that, as a whole, it is a mobile that is liked, and we can almost say that it has something more unique than the Ultra model, where everything is rougher.
In this case, the attached photographs perfectly show the detail carried out by Samsung in every corner and nook and cranny of this Samsung Galaxy S22+.
Night or low light photography
We leave a separate section in photography at night or under low light circumstances to drop that there is a distance, salvageable with new phone updates, between the photography that occurs during the day and the one we can take at night.
Samsung Galaxy S22+
Optical zoom loses sharpness in night photography even when the scene is bright enough with different points of light. Not that the algorithm of night photos helps much in certain situations with omnidirectional points of light.
In the end, the feeling that it leaves even in explicit night scenes is that they look like unreal photos. And is that the wide angle in this type of photo sometimes surprises us with better night captures so that we often focus on this lens for our photos.
The camera app interface
And let’s not try to capture people just running in those night shots because they will appear out of focus most of the time. Of course, it behaves better in closed spaces than in open ones.
The custom layer: One UI 4.1
Just as brands give all the importance in the world to their custom layers, in this case, Samsung has been able to provide the Galaxy S22+, as well as the entire series, with new features in the software and that dynamic theme that takes center stage. of the world, although we are waiting for the icons of the hook also to be colored for third-party apps; otherwise, they stay out of the game in that beautiful visual interpretation of Material You.
