Well, we all knew about this new upcoming phone Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra As most of its specifications, air and details were already leaked ahead of launch, and we kind of think it was purposefully done by Samsung themselves because they did notice that the hype for the Google Pixel 6 lineup was hyped up majorly because of the leak trend. (This is not verified as it is a theory that we came up with)
Wellspring, all of these leaks renders and specifications already leaked ahead of launch, we can get the big picture and see what Samsung did intend to do with this device. Well think of it like this, There was not a lot of differentiating factor between the Note lineup and the Galaxy S series.

Well, that is why we are seeing the Galaxy S22 Ultra merging with the note lineup this year. The S22 series remains just the same, but only the S22 ultra is a glorified note series phone.

This device also comes with an aluminum frame and the best nostalgic appeal for the Galaxy Note series, The phone also has an S plan slot at the bottom of the phone and also offers IP68 water certification. While combining the node with the S series, Samsung also managed to make the S Pen a lot more responsive and better, Now you will be able to use the S Pen with an updated latency of 2.8 msec, which is very very cool and useful, This is not because of any display tech but because of the AI-based coordinate production technology that Samsung has made possible in these new devices.
Well, this new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra flaunts a lot on the outside as it comes with a 6.8 inch dynamic AMOLED 2X panel. It also features a Quad HD plus resolution with a dynamic 120 Hertz refresh rate, It also comes with An astonishing peak brightness of 1720NITS, while having an even brighter display for the front panel of the phone. They still maintained the battery performance because of the dynamic refresh rate, This time this device can go Down below up to Zero hearts when there is no motion detected on the screen (Saving a lot of battery)
