The new Galaxy smartphones are out of Samsung's stables, and they've got the exciting outlook enthusiasts have been hoping for.

Now, I won't get into the technical details of the phone. There's lots of previews and hands-on videos on the internet, so this is only going to focus on key points taken from those early takes.

I'd like to start with Samsung's own official introduction of the S22 Ultra. The video is as you'd expect. Samsung takes care of their marketing department really well, and they should. The video is captivating, calling you to experience the product. It's just not straight up lustful and seductive as Apple does theirs.

Moving on to the design, there's not much to say. The devices look refined and mature. Exactly what the note line could have been last year. No frills back for the Ultra model. Reviewers were on and on about it, but I think dem too dey hype am. Samsung Galaxy A32 had the exact same concept and I didn't hear any of them sing.

Then comes the first shot in the foot. S22 Ultra has a base 8GB RAM. I remember stating on here that in the Android world, you don't take back features anyhow. Last year's S21 Ultra had a base 12GB RAM, so the decision to halve it this year wasn't thought out. Their excuse was that the RAM expansion software would make up for it. It won't. Every model gets the software eventually, so what's the point? That 8GB model no go sell where it matters.

Next is the price. Okay to me but I have issues with reviewers saying it's the same as last year's lineup. Yes, we get it, but that's a joke that's getting old. Do you mean to tell me that Samsung won't make their profit if they left the prices between $700-$1000? Capitalism can be a bit too much on these people sha, and consumers thank them for something that's common sense. I blame Apple for all that.

What Samsung doesn't know is that Xiaomi is still in sight. Yes, their methods are all over the place, but they do produce results. If that company trigger a price war, they can sustain it longer than Samsung can. You might say, "but Samsung makes screens and stuff for smartphones". Yes, same as Sony with camera lenses, but we know where their Xperia phones are at right now.

The tagline for the Galaxy S22 Series smartphones is "Epic Standard". Cheesy I must say, but it works. The design can conveniently carry through the year just as the S21 series before it, and the S10 series (S20 series design was too derivative, doesn't count).

For us here in Nigeria, the trope still counts. The S22 is here, that means S21 price go drop so that S20 price go come down and my money fit buy S10.
