The Galaxy S22 comes in three variants S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra, with a variety of memory sizes and colours available. Pricing will start from $1,249 for the Galaxy S22, $1,549 for the Galaxy S22+ and $1,849 for the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Launching alongside the new Galaxy S22 is a big update to Samsung’s tablet range, with the Galaxy Tab S8 series. Starting from $1,299, it includes the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S8, 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S8+, and the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

Let’s take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

It’s all headlined by the amazing Galaxy S22 Ultra, packing a 6.8-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with a super smooth 120Hz variable refresh rate, incredible cameras and even Samsung’s fan-favourite S-Pen (sold separately).

Making a happy return, the Galaxy S22 Ultra comes with an S-Pen integrated into its body, just like the old Galaxy Notes used to. The S-Pen is back better than ever, too – with a response rate more than twice as fast as the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, feeling more like putting pen to paper than ever before. It also uses AI-based coordinate prediction which guesses where you’re going to draw next to lower lag time and is even smarter at converting your handwriting to text in 88 languages (up by 12), no matter how messy.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is designed to be more durable than ever, with Gorilla Glass Victus+, Armor Aluminium and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, while also being constructed more sustainably with repurposed fishing nets used throughout the design.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22+

If you’re after a new device that’s a bit smaller in size and you don’t need the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s Super Zoom camera, Samsung also has you covered with the Galaxy S22 and S22+.

The regular Galaxy S22 features a 6.1-inch FHD+ display, while the S22+ is in the middle size-wise with a 6.6-inch FHD+ display.

Both of these are incredible value, featuring the same blazingly fast processor as their Galaxy S22 Ultra big brother, 5G support, and the same Dynamic AMOLED 2X display technology with a 120Hz variable refresh rate.

They both pack three brilliant camera lenses on the back, two of which come straight from the Galaxy S22 Ultra too – the 12MP wide-angle lens and the 10MP 3x optical zoom lens. There’s also a super detailed 50MP main lens, plus a 10MP selfie camera on the front.

These days, a lot of the brilliance in mobile photos comes from the software in the camera system, so it’s a good thing that both of these devices feature most of the AI camera tricks from the Galaxy S22 Ultra, too.

To get you through the day, the Galaxy S22 comes with a 3,700mAh battery, while the Galaxy S22+ has a whopping 4500mAh battery sitting under the hood.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Series

If a bunch of incredible new phones isn’t enough, Samsung is also launching some incredible new 5G and S-Pen toting tablets, too. All of which are available to pre-order from today.

There are three new models, including the 11-inch Galaxy Tab S8, 12.4-inch Galaxy Tab S8+, and the 14.6-inch Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. All three models pack the same powerhouse octa-core processor, the latest Android 12 with OneUI 4.1 operating system, a dual rear camera setup, Super-Fast Charging 2.0, and booming quad stereo speakers.

If you’re a fan of state-of-the-art screens, then you’ll fall in love with the Galaxy Tab S8+ and S8 Ultra, which both have a Super AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

The Galaxy Tab S8 cleverly has its fingerprint reader built into the side power button so you can just tap it on and get going.

With the Galaxy Tab S8 and Galaxy Tab S8+ there are three stunning colours to choose from – Graphite, Silver, and Pink Gold. While the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra will be available in Graphite.

Pricing for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 starts at $1,299 for a 128GB storage model, $1,699 for the Galaxy Tab S8+ with 128GB storage, and at $1,999 for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra. All three models feature cellular connectivity and are also available with 256GB of storage.

As with the Galaxy S22 series, if you pre-order your Galaxy Tab S8 before (March 3, 2022), you’ll also nab yourself an awesome bonus gift, valued up to $499 RRP. Eligible customers can pick between a Productivity Pack or Entertainment pack tailored for their device model. The Productivity Pack features Samsung’s new Book Cover Keyboard, while the Entertainment Pack includes a pair of Samsung wireless earbuds and a Book Cover for your Galaxy Tab S8.
