Samsung phones with parts made from fishing nets
Samsung has announced a range of new Galaxy smartphones, offering improved cameras and the option of a stylus. Ben Wood, chief analyst with research firm CCS Insight, said it was encouraging to see Samsung talking about its efforts to improve the sustainability of its products, but pointed out that the most important thing phone manufacturers can do for the environment is to make long-lasting devices. In the UK 40% of adults with a smartphone have an iPhone, versus 33% with a Samsung device. Mr Husson said the launch offered Samsung a "Window of opportunity" to catch up. The extra high-resolution sensor was developed by Samsung but first unveiled by Chinese firm Xiaomi, when it announced the feature in its Mi CC9 Pro Premium handset in 2019.Samsung is incorporating a stylus - its S-Pen - with the S22 Ultra, something which had previously been available only for its Note devices and its foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold 3."The Galaxy S22 Ultra will be greeted with delight by the legion of Note device enthusiasts who have proved to be a loyal audience for Samsung, but may leave traditional Galaxy S customers scratching their heads wondering why they need a stylus," said Mr Wood.At the event, Samsung also unveiled a new line of tablets.
