Along with the appearance of such Galaxy S22 series, IT news sites are reporting 'reviews that I actually used'. The S22 series has been fully released, but its reviews are often dry. Both Techradar and Tom's Guide have rated it as 'a good smartphone, but it's too similar to the previous generation,' with a notable change: 'The back of the S21 was made of plastic, but the back of the S22 is back to glass. 'There is.' Many people say that the back of the S21 is 'cheap' because of its material, and that the return to the same glass as the previous generation of the S21 has revived the sense of luxury.

Regarding the camera, which is one of the highlights of the S22 series this time, 'it takes a longer review period to make a formal evaluation', but Tom's guide 'takes in more light with an enhanced main lens'. The difference between light and dark is handled well. '' AI Stereo Depth Map, which can calculate the depth to the details like hair, makes the fringe between the subject and the background in portrait photography. It is decreasing. ' On the other hand, the first impression was harsh, 'I felt that there was nothing that caught my heart in terms of contrast, detail, or presentation.' Techradar even states that 'there is nothing new in the camera experience.'



On the other hand, regarding the evaluation of the flagship model 'Galaxy S22 Ultra' that came to be equipped with S Pen as standard, the opinion that 'completely Note' is the mainstream. The Verge states that 'Note has changed its name' and Tom's Guide states that 'Note is back', and in addition to the significant improvement in input lag, the algorithm for guessing the path of the pen has been improved. As a result, the recognition rate of handwritten characters has increased, and the convenience of '

air action ', which allows you to operate camera apps with gestures using a pen, is praised. In addition, the display has become extremely bright with a maximum of 1750 nits, and a large capacity battery of 5000 mAh corresponding to a charging speed of 45 W can be charged up to 50% in just 20 minutes. It was highly evaluated.
