Description
The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G price in Kenya is Ksh 58000 – Ksh67000. The Galaxy S22 is a smartphone that features a 6.1-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 50MP + 12MP + 10MP triple rear cameras, and a single 10MP selfie camera.
With the three cameras on the back, you can take sharp photos in all situations, even dark ones. All cameras have a night mode. The device is energy efficient, but with intensive use, you sometimes charge the small battery in between. Samsung does not supply a charger, so you purchase it separately.

Design
The design element of the s22 series has not altered that much. At least from an aesthetic point of view, one glance at this phone and you could confuse it for the Galaxy S21 5G. Perhaps flatter edges on this one could be one of the pointers. And it comes in a little different color range as well. Phantom Black, White, Pink Gold, Green, Graphite, Sky Blue, Violet and Cream.
Nevertheless, it looks the same, but the materials that have been used here are quite a highlight. Samsung has changed quite a number of things, in a good way. Rear and front panel, you have got Gorilla Glass Victus+ with some premium upgrades as compared to previous generations. A single frame has been reinforced with an Armour aluminum frame which is more resistant to drops and scratches (so it is claimed). Moreover, the and s22 5G is encased in an IP68 rating meaning that it is also dustproof and can withstand water of up to 1.5m for 30 minutes). Besides this, you have a similar looking camera module located in the top corner.
Capability
The complete Samsung Galaxy s22 series is based on a new processor – the Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm). Elsewhere (except the United States) is the Exynos 2200 (4 nm). And Samsung appears to be very confident in the chipset capabilities. It’s all sorts of enhanced graphical attributes in here. If you are one with a passion for mobile gaming, the Galaxy S22 5G will certainly meet your expectations.
It’s obvious that this phone also comes with an appreciable level of 5G support. There is also the availability of Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6e as well. The storage is found under the battery and device care sections of the settings for Samsung Galaxy s22 Plus 5G. The phone comes in two variants 128GB 8GB RAM and 256GB 8GB RAM.
Platform
What you have running the Samsung Galaxy s22 5G is Android 12 and One UI 4.1 launcher. One UI brings the best of Android 12 here. For instance, the privacy features are present and correct. You can fast toggle the camera and microphone access for all apps. And when you load up an app that uses the camera or the mic, you’ll get a little indicator at the top corner. You’ve got great customization in one UI. For example, you change the wallpaper and everything as usual, but you’ll also see the new color palette option as well. This can change the theme and colors based on the wallpaper you’ve installed at the time.
Cameras
As for the camera specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S22 5G has an enhanced and advanced Primary 50 MP, f/1.8, 24mm (wide), 1/1.56″, 1.0µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, OIS camera. It’s encouraging to know that OIS also made an improvement in the hardware. One of its advantages is that it is able to take great shots in the dark. Portrait mode works much better with animals now too. What Samsung professes is that this portrait mode of this phone even allows to separate and blur the hair worn in a hairstyle. Now that’s a bold claim! The front-facing is a 10 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/3.24″, 1.22µm, Dual Pixel PDAF camera. Its outcome has quite realistic skin color and a good amount of clear details.
Also fitted into this S22 5G device is a 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm, 120˚ (ultrawide), 1/2.55″ 1.4µm, Super Steady video shooting camera. This does affect the natural colors you will get from that primary lens to some extent. And lastly, there is a 10 MP, f/2.4, 70mm (telephoto), 1/3.94″, 1.0µm, PDAF, OIS 3x optical zoom camera. It has 3X optical zoom with an optical image stabilizer. So, in the event that you want to get more personal with your target, this will help.
Sound
How would you rate the audio experience of the Samsung Galaxy s22 5G? Being a flagship device, there is of course a stereo speaker system fitted to the Galaxy s22 5G. This device has a ceiling volume that will get the job done quite well. This is a good thing, however, clarity is not an issue. Of course, there isn’t any headphone hack, alas. Furthermore, if you wish to connect, you will be dependent on the Bluetooth 5.2 buds.
Security
When it comes to security, Samsung Galaxy s22 5G has an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. The sensor is alright, responsive and works fine. Well, there is also a face recognition backup system added too. Unfortunately, this doesn’t work when a face mask is on. Once more, Samsung’s Knox security systems compartmentalize every critical information thick enough not to be breached. This encompasses your passwords, your fingerprints, etc. Both of them, Samsung mobile devices and Google Pixel smartphones, clearly stand out for proper security concerns.
