The star of the show was the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which did more than just iterate on its predecessor. It signaled the official merging of two iconic Samsung lineages: the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note. For the first time, Samsung's premier S-series device came with an integrated S Pen stylus, complete with a dedicated silo in the phone's body.
