Unpacking the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: 4 ‘Firsts’ that Break the Rules

Tweet

 

The launch of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at Unpacked 2022 marks many new milestones for the beloved Galaxy series. Marrying the productivity prowess of the Note series and the pro-grade camera and performance of the S series, the Galaxy S22 Ultra sets a new standard for what a smartphone can be: The most powerful Ultra device that Samsung has ever created, to offer the ultimate smartphone experience today. 

Read on to find out more about four cutting-edge features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra that break the rules of mobile innovation. 

1. Create to Your Heart’s Content – First built-in S Pen in the S Series

A handy stylus on your smartphone unlocks endless possibilities for creative and productive scenarios

beyond doodling and writing.

Traditionally a feature included with the Note, Note users’ favorite S Pen now comes built-in with the Galaxy S22 Ultra, enabling fresh new ways to level up your creativity and get things done. The much-improved S Pen experience means that you write and draw on the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s bright and expansive screen, making it the perfect tool to capture eureka moments through words or sketches while enjoying a more realistic pen-to-paper feel.

The S Pen also gives you instant access to signature S Pen tools such as Samsung Notes and Live Message, and the handwriting to text function has been upgraded to support 87 languages, so note-taking is more convenient than ever, especially when you’re on-the-go.

And that’s not all. The S Pen can also act as a nifty remote control to run your presentation from afar or be used to take a snapshot with the phone camera. Use it to annotate PDFs without downloading an additional app, and even zoom in to magnify anything on your screen by up to 300 percent. 

2. Super-charged Heart & Brain – First 4nm Processor on a Galaxy 

In a smartphone, the smaller its processor, the better the device. 

As the first Galaxy device to be running on Samsung’s groundbreaking 4nm Processor, the Galaxy S22 Ultra makes multitasking on your phone even easier. The new processor enables Samsung’s most advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) processing to run smoothly, delivering unrivaled performance for all your streaming, gaming and productivity needs. 

As you create new content, the advanced AI features work in the background to improve the clarity and quality of photos and videos by helping subjects stand out better from the background, while simultaneously detecting and concentrating on multiple objects within the same scene for better focus and improved image steadiness.

3. A Battery that Goes On & On – First Galaxy battery that Lasts All-Day

With all the powerful features built into the Galaxy S22 Ultra, rest assured that the device is well-equipped to endure long hours of use. Samsung has combined its power-efficient 4nm Processor with a large 5,000mAh battery to ensure that Galaxy S22 Ultra can last all day on a single full charge. What’s more, the device even supports 45W super-fast charging, which lets you record more than 50 minutes of video – after a 10-minute charge – so you can keep calm and carry on with minimal disruption to your work or play.

4. Pro-grade Camera in Your Pocket

Whether you’re a casual user or a seasoned content creator, the Galaxy S22 Ultra enables users to capture stunning photos and videos all day and all night. With the free Expert RAW app, you also have access to DLSR-like controls to capture incredible moments. To make the Galaxy S22 Ultra even more amazing, its camera can capture more than 68 billion colors for more vibrant and true-to-life videos. 

Tune in to the Samsung Facebook page at 6:00 PM on February 18 for Nights Made Epic and join the country’s top creators, including Mobile Filmmaking Philippines, wedding videographer Jason Magbanua, influencer and content creator Richard Juan, and illustrator Risa Rodil, as they showcase their epic content using the Galaxy S22 Series and Galaxy Tab S8 Series.

Pre-order now and be the first to experience the epic standard

Pre-order the Galaxy S22 Ultra through Samsung.com and enjoy a PHP 10,000 e-voucher which can be used to purchase select mobile products in the Samsung Online Store, a Silicone Case with Strap worth PHP 1,999, and a Lucky Box Strap worth PHP 1,299.

Astra Guild Ventures - Improving Lives One Scholar at a Time

Tweet

Astra Guild Ventures, or AGV, is a gaming guild that is focused on Play-to-Earn games as a means of revenue. This guild has grown to 2,035 Axie Scholars and is growing while expanding its reach and building towards an ecosystem in the Play-to-Earn space. This is not possible without the help from the community it has grown, and such growth is built on abundance, making it a two-way street of give and take.

Ron Kevin, 28 years old, also known as Reachie, is an AGV scholar, and is part of AGV’s administration team. He is a professional by all means, working in the BPO industry as a customer service representative. AGV was able to offer him opportunities for alternative ways to earn, and one of the ways he uses his free time is to earn from playing.

 

Starting in AGV

When asked about how he started being a part of AGV, Reachie mentions that he was part of a different guild, where he hosts Q and As. He says that a friend introduced him to AGV.

“Yung iba kong friends from other guilds, nasa AGV na rin. Nung lumipat ako, I saw a lot of opportunities where I can apply yung mga natutunan ko from other guilds.” Reachie shared.

Reachie even went on to share how he started becoming a scholar in the guild.

“Nag-apply ako as scholar sa AGV. May pinagawa silang task tapos nung ntatapos ko yung task, in one week, binigyan na ako ng scholarship.” he added.

Being Part of AGV

Reachie also shared how being part of the gaming guild, AGV, improved his overall prosperity.

“During the time I was working, enough yung salary ko to cover my daily needs—my salary goes to my bills and savings. When I joined AGV, nagkaroon na ako ng extra para sa mga unexpected bills or paminsan, extra money for the things I want to buy kahit hindi naman need.” he said.

Reachie spends an average of 6 hours a day, at different times of the day, playing 3 different Play-to-Earn games such as Axie Infinity and Plants vs Undead.

“The reason you are playing is to use your free time to do something productive—in this case, I earn while I play during my free time.I can do this full time if I invest my time playing Axie Infinity as well as other games.” Reachie shared.

Reachie even tells a story wherein his parents would scold him, saying “Ano bang napapala mo sa kakalaro ng computer?” Now, he helps members of his family apply for gaming scholarships to be able to play and earn.

Going Beyond AGV

Prior to the pandemic, Reachie worked at a local restaurant as a manager for 2 years, and even did the same job abroad for another 2 years. When asked about what he will do with what he saves up from his earnings, he answers “I’m planning to invest [on cryptocurrency] tokens and then from that, I plan to have my own restaurant serving Filipino dishes. Sakin kasi, food is life.”

More importantly for Reachie, his ultimate goal is financial stability. “I’m fine with what I have right now but if there’s other opportunities, I won’t hesitate to grab it.” he said.

AGV is still growing, and Reachie is just one of the lives it has impacted. The future is bright as AGV expands to the possibilities in the realm of the Play-to-Earn space. To keep track on updates, you may join their Discord server at -insert invite link-.
