Samsung’s new Galaxy S22 arrived earlier this month at the company’s February Unpacked event. You may be wondering how it’s different from the Galaxy S21 that impressed us with solid all-around performance when it was released last year. Like 2021’s Galaxy S series, the Galaxy S22 series features three phones — the Galaxy S22, the S22 Plus and S22 Ultra — and offers a bevy of upgrades. Here are all the Galaxy S22 specs and how they compare with those of the Galaxy S21. If you’re curious about the earlier Galaxy S-series phones, take a look at how the Galaxy S21 compares with the Galaxy S20, as well as the best Android phones you can buy in 2022. Samsung kept prices fairly consistent with last year’s flagship phones. In 2021, the South Korean electronics giant slashed the price of its Galaxy S21 handset by $200 compared with the previous year’s flagship, the Galaxy S20. For 128GB of storage, the Galaxy S21 ranged in price from $800 to $1,380, depending on the model. For the Galaxy S22 series, the base Galaxy S22 starts at $800 again, the S22 Plus starts at $1,000 and the S22 Ultra costs $1,200 for 128GB of storage, going up to $1,600 for 1 terabyte of storage. (In the UK, the Galaxy S22 starts at £769, the S22 Plus starts at £949 and the S22 Ultra starts at £1,149, going up to £1,499. In Australia, the S22 starts at AU$1,249, the S22 Plus at AU$1,549 and the S22 Ultra at AU$1,849.) Here’s the Galaxy S22 and S21’s US pricing, for reference. You can also check out how to buy the new phones here. The Galaxy S22 has a fresh new look that feels more premium and polished. All three new phones have a glass and metal frame that feels like an upgrade over last year’s Galaxy S21. The regular S22 and S22 Plus have a rounded shape with metallic edges, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra looks like a Galaxy Note clone. Samsung’s high-end Galaxy S22 Ultra also comes with a slot for storing the S Pen — a first for a Galaxy S device.
