Samsung announced the Galaxy S22 series on 9 February 2022. This is the only Galaxy S series lineup (from S20 onwards) to not have a FE version, while its successors have an FE variant (albeit released later than the main devices).
The Galaxy S22 series changed the aspect ratio once again to 19.5:9. The series added glass backs which was lacking on the S10-S21 series, the frames were also flattened similar to the iPhone 12 series. The Galaxy S22 Ultra had a huge design change which gave it a more similar look to the Galaxy Note20 Ultra rather than the Galaxy S21 Ultra and it saw the introduction of the built in S Pen which was not present on the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The S22 Ultra also upgraded the adaptiveness of the refresh rate from 10–120 Hz to 1–120 Hz.
Both the S22+ and S22 Ultra got upgrades in the charging speed from 25W to 45W. The S22+ and S22 Ultra also got improvements on the display brightness to 1750 nits. Armor Aluminum and Gorilla Glass Victus+ also saw an introduction to the S22 series.
