With 5G networks rolling out across Kampala and wider into the rest of the country, you might want to experience the revolution on the best of devices. A pair you can not dismiss in delivering the best out of 5G is the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra.
Yes, beyond the sleek design and impressive cameras, these phones are packed with impressive technology that unlock the true potential of 5G.
If you plan to use MTN Uganda’s growing 5G network on any of the two, you’ll need some of the insights we are about to share in this article.
Key Considerations to make
Firstly, it’s essential to note that 5G coverage is still currently limited to specific areas within Kampala, so being within these coverage zones is crucial to access the 5G network. Obviously the expansion is going on progressively but, to fully embrace 5G, you’ll need to ensure you are in the best zone.
Additionally, you may need a specific SIM card for 5G access, so it’s advisable to ensure that you have an upgraded SIM — to at least 4G connectivity.
Other factors kept constant, keep your phone and device software updated to the latest versions for optimal performance; and monitor your data usage to ensure you stay within your plan limits.
This review is still ongoing. But, in our experience, the 5G speeds were phenomenal, reaching up to 1Gbps download and 200Mbps upload in ideal conditions. You’ll need some ample internet juice to fully experience the network, because the faster speeds also translate into faster drainage of the bundle you load.
Let’s dive deep into the specifications and features that transform the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra into speed demons and productivity powerhouses.
Processing Power
At the heart of the 5G experience lies the processor. Both the S22+ and S22 Ultra boast the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a monster chip that crunches through data like a hungry dragon.
This powerhouse can handle the massive amounts of information streaming through the 5G pipes, ensuring smooth downloading, lag-free streaming, and seamless multitasking. Think of it as a Formula One car engine, built for speed and efficiency.
But a powerful engine needs a smooth highway. That’s where the RAM kicks in.
Both phones come with 8GB of RAM, acting as a buffer zone for data, ensuring applications run flawlessly, especially when juggling multiple 5G-powered tasks. Imagine it as the wide, open lanes on a highway, allowing information to flow freely without traffic jams.
Dynamic AMOLED 2X display
The 5G experience is not just about speed; it’s about immersion. The Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays on both phones offer stunning visuals with incredible color accuracy and brightness.
But the real magic lies in the 120Hz refresh rate. This translates to a buttery-smooth experience, whether you’re browsing websites, streaming 5G content, or playing demanding games.
It’s like watching a movie in hyper-speed, where every frame is crisp and clear, making you feel like you’re right in the action.
How about the storage and battery?
5G downloads can be massive, from movies to games to entire albums. That’s why both phones offer generous storage options, with the S22 Ultra reaching up to a whopping 1TB.
This ensures you have enough space to store all your downloaded content, ready for instant access on the go. Think of it as a fuel tank for your 5G rocket, ensuring you never run out of space for your digital adventures.
But even the most powerful engine needs fuel. The 4500mAh battery in the S22+ and the 5000mAh in the S22 Ultra provide the juice needed to power your 5G journey. And with fast-charging capabilities, you can refuel your rocket in no time, ensuring you’re never out of power.
Camera Power
The 5G experience is also about capturing and sharing moments instantly. Both phones boast impressive camera systems, but the S22 Ultra takes it to another level.
The 108MP main sensor and 10x optical zoom capture stunning photos and videos, perfect for sharing on 5G networks. Think of it as a studio in your pocket, ready to capture and share your world in breathtaking detail.
Software and Updates
Samsung doesn’t just build phones; they build ecosystems. Both phones run on the latest Android 12 with One UI 4.1, optimized for 5G performance and packed with features that make your life easier.
And with Samsung’s commitment to regular software updates, you can be sure your phone is always at the forefront of 5G technology, ready to embrace the future.
