What we know so far about Samsung Galaxy S22

The new Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus range will support 45W fast charging. This isn't the first time we've heard of the Galaxy S22 range getting this much charging power (up from 25W on the Samsung Galaxy S21 range), but the most recent leaks suggested that it would only be the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra getting this upgrade, so it will be good news if the Galaxy S22 Plus does as well.

In addition to this information, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus is rumored to have a maximum screen brightness of 1,750 nits (candela per square meter Cd/m2). This is up from the 1,300 nits of the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, and would even have the 1,500 nits of the Galaxy S21 Ultra. Recall that the brightness of a screen is usually measured by the number of Nits or candela per square meter (Cd/m2). The higher the Nits value, the brighter the screen.

The renders that have since been released and are supposed to be official don't show us many details yet, with the design being very similar to the Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus. A former Samsung employee known as SuperRoader claims on Twitter that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will come in a version with 1TB of storage. That would be a first for the range! However, from the text of the Tweet it seems that this model might hit the market a little later than the rest. In the conversation shared on this social network we also learn that there will also be a model of the S22 Ultra with 16GB of RAM, and according to it, all countries will receive the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset in this version. We shall see!

Of all the information so far, the most interesting is undoubtedly the suggestion that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus will have a 45W charge. If it does, then there's a chance that the standard Samsung Galaxy S22 will have it too (along with the S22 Ultra), and that's a big upgrade over the 25W of its predecessors. But it's still not really competitive with most of Samsung's main rivals. The OnePlus 10 Pro, for example, offers an 80W charge, and the Xiaomi 12 Pro has a 120W charge. On the other hand, 45W may end up being a good balance. There will be a risk of more battery degradation with faster charging. The real reason Samsung may not be in a hurry to catch up is that its biggest rival - Apple - only offers speeds up to 27W in the iPhone 13 range, and we would be surprised if the iPhone 14 range reaches 45W. We'll have to wait for the official launch to find out.
