Elegance and safety come together in the Samsung Galaxy S22+, thanks to Gorilla Glass Victus+ on the front and back and an armor aluminum body. Compared to the S22 Ultra, its size of 6.20 x 2.98 x 0.30 inches (157.4 x 75.8 x 7.6 mm), weight of 6.91 ounces (196g) and one-handed comfort is a big advantage. Choose from Phantom Black or Phantom White and the matte finish will help prevent fingerprints. With the Side Key, you can choose which features you want to access.

To make S22+ more affordable, UWB is skipped while it features fast 15W wireless charging. By getting rid of the home button, the flagship’s design uses popular gestures for navigation and an ultrasonic sensor provides extra security.
The S22+ includes a 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels (393 PPI) and support for HDR10+. This screen has 1750 nits to make it easily visible outside in bright sunlight. The phone’s smooth responsiveness from the 120Hz refresh rate is excellent, except that it doesn’t offer customization for the Always-On Display.
