They have the advantage of a large display area that allows you to see more content than with conventional display sizes. Owing to OLED technology, the display offers a true representation of colours, especially black. The resulting contrast is significantly higher and colours appear more vivid. OLED technology is now part of most smartphones, while LCD displays are becoming a thing of the past in mobile phones. OLED displays also have lower power consumption compared to LCD technology.

Display Resolution of Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G is 2340 x 1080 pixels. A higher display resolution is a prerequisite for a sharper image. The standard for mid-range phones today is a Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 px. Cheaper phones, which usually have a smaller diagonal, have an HD resolution of 1280 × 720 px. Smaller resolutions can only be found in older models. Best phones, on the other hand, have a 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 px. Display´s pixel density is 393 ppi and represents another significant factor affecting image sharpness besides resolution. The higher the value, the sharper the image. Average value is currently about 350-400 ppi, which guarantees a fine and sufficiently sharp image. Finest modern phone displays reach 450 ppi and above.

The refresh rate is 120 Hz. This value indicates how many times per second display shows new information. Previously, 60 Hz was considered the standard, but today the average frequency for mid-range phones is more like 90 Hz. Modern phones now reach frequencies of around 120 Hz and above. Higher frequencies mean a better user experience when browsing the internet and especially when playing games.

Camera Features (Front) Dual Pixel AF

The rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G is equipped with 3 lenses, with each lens having a different role in taking pictures. Most common lens you'll see on smartphones is a wide-angle lens, telephoto lens or macro lens. A wide-angle lens is mainly used to capture landscapes and other spatially larger compositions where a wide field of view is needed. A telephoto lens is designed for photographing subjects at a distance and often has an optical zoom. A macro lens is ideal for close-ups and small objects. The main lens is designed as Wide-angle lens. The resolution of the main lens is 50 Megapixel. Higher resolution does not necessarily mean super high quality photos. Furthermore, it depends on the pixel size but also on other important factors. Pixel size is typically around 0.8-1.8 μm in better mobile phones. The higher the value, the better the quality of the resulting photo should be. In the case of main lens, the pixel size reaches 1 μm.

The size of the phone's sensor is also among the parameters that affect quality of the photo. In case of Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G, it is 1/1.56". Focus mainly on the value after the slash, where the higher it is, the better photo quality will be. The aperture of main lens reaches F/1.8 value. The best phones have a lens with an aperture of up to F/1.5, where more light can pass through sensor and photos will be of a high quality even in low light conditions. However, lenses with apertures around F/1.8 to F/2.2 are the most common. The lower the number after the slash, the better the photo quality.

Digital zoom in this case offers zooming up to 30x. Of course, the higher the lens value, the more distant object can be zoomed in. Nonetheless, the disadvantage of digital zoom is that the quality and sharpness of photo deteriorates when using it. Much more important is the optical zoom, which has the advantage of not losing quality and sharpness when zooming in. On this phone, the optical zoom is 3x. An undeniable advantage is the optical image stabilisation, which makes image significantly more stable without any loss in quality. Cheaper phone models are equipped with electronic stabilisation, which has a negative effect on the resulting image quality.

Second camera
The second lens of rear camera is designed as Ultra wide-angle lens. The field of view of second lens reaches 120 degree(s). The resolution reaches size of 12 Megapixel. Pixel size in this case is 1.4 μm. Furthermore, the second lens is equipped with aperture of F/2.2.

Third camera
Lens number three represents the Telephoto lens. The lens achieves a field of view of up to 36 degree(s). The resolution of third lens is then 10 Megapixel. The pixel size that significantly affects quality of photo is 1 μm. Last but not least, third lens is equipped with a lens aperture of F/2.4.

Front camera
The front camera of phone Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G has one lens. This number of lenses is standard on most smartphones nowadays. The resolution of front lens reaches 10 Megapixel. Again, it should be noted that resolution is only one of several other significant factors that affect resulting quality of a photo. The pixel size itself is 1.22 μm. The main lens is also equipped with aperture of F/2.2. As for the field of view of main lens of front camera, it reaches 80 degree(s).
