FULL STORY ======================================================================
The Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra already has a superb camera in fact its sitting in the number two spot on our guide to the best camera phones , but the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra could have it significantly beat.
Thats based on a number of recent claims, with the biggest perhaps being that it will have a dedicated macro mode. This is according to South Korean site ITMaterial , which found code snippets referring to a Detail enhancer
feature, which appears to be for detailed close-ups.
Oddly though this would apparently use the main 108MP sensor, while most
macro modes tend to use an ultra-wide lens if theres not a dedicated macro lens.
Elsewhere, reputable leaker @UniverseIce has claimed that night shooting has made great progress on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, thanks to enhancements
to anti-shake, focusing, and light input. Thanks to the enhancement of S22 Ultra's new 108MP sensor in anti shake, focusing and light input, its night shooting has made great progress. December 21, 2021 See more
The same source has also claimed that the Galaxy S22 Ultras camera will use
AI to improve detail, color, and brightness in photos. Theyre not talking specifically about night mode here, so these improvements should be visible
in any shot.
Thats not the only exciting news about the Samsung Galaxy S22 range though,
as moving away from the camera, the same source has also said that all three models in the range will have a glass back .
We were fully expecting the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra to have a glass back anyway, but we didnt think the standard Galaxy S22 would, given that the Samsung Galaxy S21 uses plastic, and there were reports previously that the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus would switch to plastic too.
Given that, wed take this new claim with a pinch of salt, but hopefully its accurate, as while not everyone cares about glass, it is a bit disheartening to find plastic on a premium phone. There is a definite answer about the rear cover material of Galaxy S22 series:S22, S22 +, S22 ultra are all made of glass!

While the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra sounds like it could have some significant camera upgrades, it also sounds like many of them might be software-powered, as the hardware of the camera isnt thought to be changing much .
Leaks suggest it will have the same basic sensor specs as the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, and talk of AI in particular certainly sounds more like a software feature than a hardware one.
So its possible that some or all of these rumored features could also arrive on the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra as a software update.
That said, theres no guarantee. For one thing, Samsung might want to keep
them exclusive to the new phone, and for another, things like AI depend in part on the chipset, so having a new chipset in the new phone might make a difference there. These are the best Samsung phones
