Samsung Electronics just Unpacked yesterday and they have announced the arrival of the Galaxy S22 Series 5G and Galaxy Tab S8 Series during the livestream of Unpacked 2022: The Epic Standard. Though I have already switched out my phone to the small and dainty Samsung Flip3, I think these new gadgets will make good options for those looking to update their gadgets for the new year
Samsung Galaxy S22 Series 5G
The Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G merges the best of two smartphone legacies to set a new standard for premium smartphones – the unrivalled power of the Note series and the pro-grade camera and performance of the S series. Featuring a built-in S Pen, advanced Nightography and video capabilities with seamlessly integrated camera lenses, as well as battery life that lasts over a day – Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is the most powerful Ultra device Samsung has ever created.
Luxurious glass and haze finishing with a sleek metal frame that creates a mirrored effect, adds an elegant touch to the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G’s reimagined linear, floating layout - complete with Galaxy Note’s iconic sharp angles - all encased in a streamlined design.
With Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, you can capture footage that’s instantly post-worthy – in any lighting conditions. Advanced Nightography features available across the entire Galaxy S22 family of devices allows you to snap crisp, clear videos on both the front and back cameras, whether you’re recording during the day or night. Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is built with a 2.4um pixel sensor – Samsung’s largest pixel sensor yet, enabling its camera lenses to capture more light and data, optimising the lighting and detail of your video clips.
Plus, the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G’s advanced Super Clear Glass lens helps you take smoother and clearer nighttime videos without flares. Meanwhile, video Auto Framing ensures your camera always captures exactly who you want, whether that’s one person or ten.
With the ability to save photos in RAW format up to 16bit, you can take more control over your edits with more of your images’ data. And just like a DSLR camera, you can brighten or darken your photos with ISO settings and shutter speed, adjust white balance to make your photo more warm or cool, and manually focus on your desired subject to get your images looking exactly the way you want.
As durable as it is striking, Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G comes in four nature-inspired colour options, including Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and unique to the Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, Burgundy. The smartphone will also be available in Graphite, Sky Blue and Red which will be sold exclusively on Samsung Online Store and Samsung Experience Stores.

Samsung also unveiled the Galaxy S22 5G and Galaxy S22+ 5G, two flagship devices that power creativity and self-expression for everyday creators. These 2 models will give you the exact same experience as the ultra version minus the S Pen with a smaller and more rounded build, with the Galaxy S22 5G screen size measuring at 6.1-inch FHD+ and the Galaxy S22+ 5G screen size measuring at 6.6-inch FHD+.
The Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G feature the S series’ iconic, fan-favourite Contour-Cut design that blends the camera seamlessly into the housing. To create a sleeker and more refined look, Samsung built both devices with a distinctive flat display, complete with a luxurious glass and haze finish. Now, the S series camera housing is designed to match the colour of the device’s body with a slim and symmetric metal frame for a seamless look. The result is a balanced, unified design that’s modern, fashionable, and sleek.
Both Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G gives you the same advanced Nightography features as the Ultra version. They are built with a powerful 50MP main camera, 10MP tele-lens, and 12MP ultra-wide lens, so you always get high quality shots. When you’re capturing videos with friends, the new Auto Framing feature detects and tracks up to 10 people and automatically adjusts the camera’s focus, so your camera captures everyone clearly. Both devices are powered by advanced VDIS technology which minimises vibrations, so you get smooth, sharp footage even when you’re on the move.
Galaxy S22 5G is equipped with a 3,700mAh battery and 25W fast charging that never slows you down, while the Galaxy S22+ 5G features a 4,500 mAh battery with 45W super-fast charging, so you don’t have to wait when your power is running low.
Both the Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G will also ensure you can always stay connected and collaborative. Through our partnership with Google, you can enjoy Google Duo live sharing to view photos in Gallery with friends or write meeting notes with colleagues on Samsung Notes - even while you’re apart.
Both the Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+ 5G are available in Phantom Black, Phantom White, Green, and Pink Gold. They will also be available in Graphite, Cream, Violet and Sky Blue which will be sold exclusively on Samsung Online Store and Samsung Experience Stores.

The Galaxy Tab S8 Series is also protected by Samsung’s industry-leading Knox Vault platform, which encrypts personal data and keeps stored files and information isolated from the device’s main operating system to safeguard it from attacks. All members of the lineup sport an intuitive fingerprint scanner23 that enables single-touch device unlocking.
The Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G comes in bold and timeless Graphite, and Galaxy Tab S8 and S8+ come in two sophisticated shades - Graphite and Pink Gold.
