Samsung has officially taken wraps off its next-gen Android flagship series Galaxy S22. It features three models named Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra. The whole lineup is packed with superior display technology, camera performance, long-lasting battery, and high-end features. The Ultra model is essentially a Galaxy Note as it comes bundled with an S Pen stylus.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is the most premium and feature-rich smartphone in the lineup. It is meant to deliver the best of both worlds i.e. Galaxy Note and Galaxy S series. In other words, this is the phone if you were hoping for Samsung to release a new Galaxy Note device since the Galaxy Note 20 launch.

It is the first Galaxy S-series phone that comes bundled with S Pen. The Galaxy S21 Ultra also has support for the stylus but it needs to be purchased separately and it does not have the stylus holder either. Samsung says that the new S Pen will offer 70% lower latency for a more natural writing and drawing feel.
