[Exclusive] Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with 200MP Olympus camera looking stunning in concept renders [Video]
After the front view of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone, emerging concept creator HoiINDI comes up with a series of new high-resolution 3D renders that give us a detailed look at the next year’s S flagship. Let’s start exploring…
Galaxy S22 Ultra with 200MP Olympus Camera
According to the concept renders, the next year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra flagship features a unique and large 200MP primary camera, made by Olympus, in a vertically placed rectangular module. Below the main sensor, there are two other sensors as well including a telephoto and an ultrawide lens.
Believing on these concept renders, the next generation Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone will lose 1 camera compared to the Galaxy S21 Ultra due to a large 200MP Olympus image sensor. At the same time, the concept render shows an LED flash and autofocus lens under the device’s huge camera system.
Galaxy S22 Ultra Design & Colors
HoiINDI picked Samsung’s flagship favorite colors to paint the Galaxy S22 Ultra. As you can see in the image below, the next year’s top Galaxy S flagship smartphone highlights three pleasant colors – Black, Gray, and White.

Do note that the Galaxy S22 Ultra concept render shows it comes with a glass back instead of the Galaxy S21 Ultra-like plastic back with a matte finish. However, it’s expected that the vanilla & Plus variant will continue to come with a plastic back.
Galaxy S22 Ultra Display
On the front, the Galaxy S22 Ultra sports a premium Dynamic AMOLED display with a punch-hole cutout, which could measure 6.81″. However, the concept suggests its screen has slightly reduced curves on the corners than the previous generations. It looks like Samsung’s best try to fix the mistouch issue with curved displays.
Previously, HoiINDI brought us the front view of the Galaxy S22 Ultra, featuring the Samsung ISOCELL JN1 image sensor as the selfie camera. It’s noteworthy that the JN1 is the world’s smallest and most versatile camera sensor to date.
Galaxy S22 Ultra Additional Specs
Of course, the Galaxy S22 Ultra concept renders show volume rockers and side key (a.k.a. power button) on the right side. On the top, it has a SIM slot and two secondary microphones for more enhanced noise cancellation and a better calling experience.
Meanwhile, the bottom section equipped with speaker grills, USB Type-C port, and primary microphone. You can take a look at the 3D rendering in order to know all the expected design aspects of the upcoming Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone.
You can also take a closer look at the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra renders (video as well) through the official Twitter account of HoiINDI and do follow him on Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, and YouTube for more such innovations.

Huawei is all set to launch the world’s first tri-fold foldable smartphone. The company just dropped a bombing teaser, confirming its mega launch event. This massive development comes when Samsung stalls and Apple remains foldable-free.
Samsung showcased tri-fold screen prototype devices on many occasions. It was expected to debut the world’s first triple-screen foldable smartphone. However, Huawei is all set to attain this crown beating Samsung and other vendors.
Huawei confirmed its next hardware launch event taking place on September 10. It’s right a day after Apple’s iPhone 16 unveiling scheduled for September 9. Tri-fold could significantly harm Apple’s presence in the Chinese market.
In addition, Huawei Consumer Business Group Chairman – Yu Chengdong said the company’s most leading, innovative, and disruptive product is coming.
“After 5 years of persistence and investment, we have turned science fiction into reality. Please look forward to Huawei’s pinnacle work!”
Tri-fold concept previously showcased a device having screens on three sides. The phone will have two hinges, allowing users to expand all three displays. The current foldable features a single hinge in the middle, offering a tablet-like screen size.
Beyond that, the tri-fold phone would offer an even larger screen in a more portable size. Software-derived features could further enhance usability, with one panel being used as a keyboard and others as screen and standing support.
Durability still remains the main concern in this kind of innovative device. Foldable phones launched by Samsung and Huawei are gradually entering the mainstream. However, consumers still refrain from preferring foldable as their next upgrade.
Huawei’s tri-fold could remain a China-exclusive product. Samsung may also come up with its tri-fold handset in the near future. The Display department has worked enough on the panel, but the Mobile division hasn’t yet approved development.
Apple is launching the iPhone 16 series next month but Samsung’s biggest challenge could come in 2025. Apple analyst recently shed light on expected specifications of the next year’s iPhone models, pointing to some notable upgrades.
Ming-Chi Kuo leak suggests the iPhone 17 Pro Max could be Samsung’s biggest challenge in 2025. The high-end device could be equipped with 12GB RAM and upgraded cooling technology – Vapor Chamber combined with graphite sheets.
Bigger RAM will improve the overall performance of the most expensive iPhone next year. In addition, the upgraded vapor chamber cooling technology will offer enhanced thermal dissipation, ultimately improving the user experience.
Samsung’s various Galaxy devices have been using vapor chamber cooling tech for years. Despite using a dedicated thermal management component, Android flagships lag behind Apple’s iPhone models in performance and efficiency.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra coming early next year should get a better cooling component. Apple could be adopting the technology years after Android. Hence, a mature and stable performing thermal management is likely in the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Qualcomm is fueling the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 with on-device AI and Oryon CPU. The chip may consume more power than previous ones to offer better performance. It would be interesting to see how the chip designer handled the thermal management.
Other iPhone models of the lineup alongside the SE could use 8GB RAM. These handsets are unlikely to feature upgraded vapor chamber cooling technology. The Pro Max could remain the most-selling iPhone in 2025 as well, seizing around 40% share.
Apple’s going to ship the first iPhones pre-loaded with AI-powered features. The next year’s lineup could introduce notable upgrades in the AI segment. It would make the iPhone 17 Pro Max a major selling point in the global market.
Samsung seems to be making the Galaxy S25 Ultra its most wonderful flagship. The smartphone is said to get major design refinements. A new leak suggests that it would beat all the premium rivals in terms of slimness and weight.
Ice Universe claims Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will be the “thinnest and lightest of all Ultra flagships.” The source noted that it will be thinner and lighter than the recently released Pixel 9 Pro XL and the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Google’s Pixel 9 Pro XL weighs 221 grams while the iPhone’s weight could be 225 grams. That said, the Galaxy S25 Ultra will weigh less than 221 grams. The company could use improved Titanium material to reduce the flagship’s weight further.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max could be 8.3mm thick, 0.2mm less than the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Going by the tipster’s revelation, the Galaxy S25 Ultra could be thinner than 8.3mm. The iPhone hasn’t yet launched, but set to go official on September 9th.
The S25 Ultra will be the thinnest and lightest of all Ultra flagship phones to be released soon, including iPhone 16 Pro Max and Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Making smartphones thinner and lighter is considered a pretty big challenge. Adjustment and modification of internal components is a major concern. Still, Samsung isn’t giving up on its Ultra flagships, making the next thinner and lighter than others.
Another significant design change is rumored in the frame appearance. Unlike the S24 Ultra, the next flagship could come with slightly reduced corners. The S Pen will indeed be employed in the smartphone alongside its dedicated silo.
The S25 Ultra is said to get upgraded ultrawide and Telephoto sensors. Both will be new cameras with 50-megapixel resolution, which will join the 200-megapixel primary and 50-megapixel periscope with 5x optical zoom.
It will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 processor from Qualcomm. The chip is getting a new Oryon CPU that will offer a major upgrade in performance. It will be interesting to see if it manages to outperform Apple’s new flagship SoC.
