Samsung Galaxy S22: Top smartphone relies on quality instead of quantity

With the Galaxy S21, Samsung has brought really good smartphones onto the market, but the company has made further technical progress in some areas. Samsung has made a lot of progress with the camera in particular, but these should not be used directly on the Galaxy S22.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra does without a 200 MP camera

Samsung is developing a new camera sensor that is said to have an incredible resolution of 200 MP. The high resolution ensures that the built-in pixels on the sensor are smaller and the image quality suffers somewhat. Manufacturers try to improve the quality disadvantages with software such as pixel binning, but that only works to a certain extent. Samsung should therefore use a 108 MP sensor for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, as with the Galaxy S21 Ultra, and not switch to the 200 MP sensor (source: Weibo). The image quality of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is said to be a new image processor and revised algorithms but still visibly increase. In contrast, a new 50 MP sensor is to be installed in the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

The upcoming 200 MP sensor for smartphones from Samsung is unlikely to go unused. Xiaomi should be a buyer. The two companies work together in the field and the Chinese group is known to like to throw big numbers around. Whether Xiaomi then also manages to convince with the image quality is another story. A Xiaomi Mi 12 Ultra could then come onto the market with a 200 MP sensor that was developed together with Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S22 with Snapdragon 895 expected

While the slightly redesigned Snapdragon 888 Plus is currently being installed in high-end smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy S22 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 895, which is manufactured using the 4 nm process, at the beginning of 2022. That promises even more power with less consumption. In Europe, an Exynos processor with similar performance data is likely to be used again. So far, however, there is no concrete information on this.
