This is all thanks to Samsung’s new cooling technology. Which uses a newly designed heat transfer technology called Gel-TIM. This helps the heat dissipate more efficiently and that should translate to better sustained performance. Samsung’s Gel-TIM is a thermal paste it’s using for the CPU. Which the company says allows it to transfer heat 3.5x more efficiently than last year’s device.
The new heat transfer tech on the Galaxy S22 Ultra isn’t just about gaming
As mentioned before, this new technology is likely going to be great for a number of things. Gaming just happens to be one of the most demanding uses for a mobile device, and tends to make the device hotter than with any other uses. Having said that, the sustained performance should be noticeable just with just about anything. At least for those who have or still do use the Galaxy S21 Ultra and can tell the difference.
Samsung is also using a larger vapor chamber
In addition to the new Gel-TIM and Nano-TIM (which transfers heat to the vapor chamber), Samsung also enlarged the vapor chamber in this device. It now covers more surface area, helping to improve the heat transfer to keep the device as cool as possible for longer. Granted, mileage may vary from user to user. And the performance may also be different between the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Exynos 2200 models. So users will need to take those things into account as well. That being said, it wouldn’t be surprising if the sustained performance and better cooling was mostly the same in either model. The important thing is, if you play mobile games and love Samsung’s devices, you might want to consider the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
