The Samsung Galaxy S22, Samsung Galaxy S22+ and Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra can be used as a mobile hotspot in order to connect another device to the Internet. To see how can set up this helpful feature, you can take a look at this step-by-step tutorial from Seeking Tech.
What is Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra mobile hotspot?
By setting up your Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+ or Galaxy S22 Ultra as a mobile hotspot, you will be able to use your smartphone as a portable Wi-Fi router.
This feature is helpful if you want to use the Internet on another device but don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network.
With that said, the mobile hotspot will use the data from your mobile network. So, if you don’t have an unlimited data plan, then you should be careful about using too much bandwidth as you may end up being charged for going over your limit.
