All new products announced by Samsung, from the "Galaxy S22" series to new tablet devices

The new smartphone "Galaxy S22 Ultra" announced by Samsung.

It looks and works just like the "Galaxy Note," but you can't call it a "Note." That is the "Galaxy S22 Ultra" announced by Samsung. It is an Android smartphone equipped with a huge 6.8-inch display, and has the same style as the "Galaxy Note20 Ultra" released in 2020. What if I buy an Android smartphone now? Nine recommended models, from classic to specialized, The similarities between the new "Galaxy S" series and the 2020 Galaxy Note are more than just superficial in appearance. It was the first Galaxy S series to come with a stylus pen that can be stored in the main unit. Until now, the stylus pen has been positioned as a unique function limited to the Note series. Since 2011, Samsung has branded a large smartphone that can store the stylus pen "S Pen" as "Galaxy Note", but this name may be "retirement". This $ 1,200 phablet (a coined word for tablets and phones, but is it still in use) was held on February 9th (US time) by Samsung. It was released on the online event "Galaxy Unpacked". In addition, two smartphones have also been announced. The "Galaxy S22" ($ 800, about 92,000 yen) and the "Galaxy S22 +" ($ 1,000, about 116,000 yen). In addition to smartphones, three new models of tablet terminals have been announced. Below, we will explain the six models that Samsung unveiled at this recital.

"Ultra" evolved like "Note"

Let's start with a smartphone. There were some minor changes from last year's "Galaxy S21" series, which was great. For example, the Galaxy S22 and S22 + are a bit smaller than last year's model, with screen sizes of 6.1 inches and 6.6 inches, respectively. The accent color of the main camera has been abolished. This is a negative point personally. In the S21 series, the accent color was a little playful, so it disappeared and it has a slightly one-pattern impression. The most redesigned is the Galaxy S22 Ultra. It inherits many design elements from the Galaxy Note. For example, the S Pen can be stored inside the terminal and pulled out from the bottom. According to Samsung, the functionality of the company's stylus pen is the same as it was with the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, making it more responsive than ever. It can also be used as a Bluetooth remote control to release the shutter of the camera, and of course you can draw pictures and take notes. With Samsung's handwriting recognition technology, it is possible to convert scribbles into standard text. The Galaxy S22 and S22 + do not come with an S Pen, nor do they support it. If you want to use a stylus on your smartphone, you'll have to buy the more expensive Galaxy S22 Ultra.
