If you’re using a Samsung Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus and want to breathe new life into your device, installing an Android 16-based custom ROM is a solid move. Google recently released Android 16 for Pixel devices, and developers have already ported unofficial AOSP builds to older phones like the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. In this guide, you’ll learn how to safely install Android 16 on Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus and enjoy its latest features.
Samsung Galaxy S22 Overview:
The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G features a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a high refresh rate of 120 Hz. It is an FHD+ panel with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. The peak brightness reaches up to 1300 nits, and for protection, we have Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ at both the front and back of the device. Under the hood, we have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 5G that is built on a 4nm manufacturing process. It is an octa-core processor with one Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3.0 GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.40 GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.70 GHz. Additionally, for the European market, instead of the Snapdragon chipset, we have Exynos 2200 built on a 4nm manufacturing process. It is an octa-core processor with one Cortex-X2 core clocked at 2.8 GHz, three Cortex-A710 cores clocked at 2.8 GHz, and four Cortex-A510 cores clocked at 1.8 GHz.
Coming to the optics, we get a triple camera setup at the rear and a single camera at the front. The triple camera setup consists of a 50 MP primary sensor paired with an f/1.8 lens, a 10 MP telephoto sensor paired with an f/2.4 lens, and a 12 MP ultrawide sensor paired with an f/2.2 lens. At the front, we get a 10 MP sensor paired with an f/2.2 lens. The rear setup can shoot videos at 8K, while the front camera is limited to 4K video recording.
There are two storage variants available for this smartphone: 128GB + 8GB RAM and 256GB + 8GB RAM. In terms of communications, we get Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC and USB Type-C 3.2. And for sensors, we have an under-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, gyro, proximity, barometer, and compass. Powering it all is a small 3700 mAh battery that can be topped up quickly using the 25W adapter included in the box. This smartphone is available in eight color options: Phantom Black, White, Pink Gold, Green, Graphite, Sky Blue, Violet, and Cream.
