Tell me about it

Huge round bump makes sense, kind of. But seems like it will be dated super fast. EDIT: Silly comments. I dumped apple years for android. I'm preferring my S21 Ultra, but I love all this competition because it's not like Samsung or Apple are the good guys.
my moto g5s plus has that same bump and I think it still looks great now, 5 years later
Yeah until iPhone makes one then its "oh my got so ingenious!"
More room for scratches
Mate 30 Huawei still looks great
the round lens in professional cameras also look dated for you?
Love your videos! One extra thing I'd like to see is a few more night shot and night video samples, as well as the slow motion capabilities. For night shots, I mean real night, like dark areas lit up by little more than stray or moonlight, instead of the typical scene with dark areas around plenty of bright areas of artificial light. With most phone cameras now, even those areas are bright enough to trigger the cameras to dial down their exposure, obscuring the artifacts and maximum capabilities of the hardware and software. I've been using these methods to evaluate Huawei vs Samsung and my older LG in near pitch black, astrophotography, and Northern Lights photography. Keep making awesome videos!
When Xiaomi finally does make the (not mistake) move of making software updates as long as the current Samsung commitment, that's when Samsung's likely going to have really serious competition on their hands.
Xiaomi is a real competitor to Samsung for a while even without so long software support :D
I agree with you except the last line, if Xiaomi enhanced and stablized its system it will win the competition. Actually I turned from IOS to Xiaomi Android and I thank god that I haven't invested many money on Xiaomi cuz even if the specs are higher but the system integrity and stability are so bad. This experience has taught me the importance of inclusion the system in your decision to purchase.
@@Yamin-zo1bm i very often read some instability problems with miui but i have never faced one. And my family neither. It is made up of nothing right?
@@hoven-lh8wq I have my xiaomi 11t pro for aprox 2 weeks never faced a software problem.
@@Yamin-zo1bm miui12 is not satisfactory but I think miui13 is much better.
Samsung S22 Ultra feels more complete, for all intents and purposes.
Yeah... That's right, it's definitely an "all in one package".
I'd take the S22 Ultra over that Minion phone...
@@richparkinson9647 that's a good one 🤣
Idk why I always thought the phrase was all intensive purposes... I'm an idiot
after all the lies and they way they use 2 chipsets !!! Ummm bye bye Samsung
The fact that this video was absolutely great in production makes me think that tech videos don’t necessarily have to be shot in a studio. Awesome video Arun and more outdoorsy tech videos please
Exactly++++
Well said! I am also here to learn more genuine and smart way on short term investment, any idea here?

Investment now will be wise but the truth is investing on your own will be a high risk. I think it will be best to get a professional👌
Nice review man. You really do great work. Really informative, clever and entertaining at the same time. That must be difficult to do. Thanks for your hard wok.
I'm still rocking a MI 10 Ultra and after 2 years, still love it. Best phone I've every had and 120w charger is epic just charging it from flat in just over 30mins.
Strange my Find x5 pro is changing with 85 w in about the same time from flat 30 min
@@dragoscseplo1829 Different battery capacity possibly? Either way, it's far from slow. Welcome to world of quick charging. 👍
Is battery life affected or nah
I'm using xiaomi 10s now,in China.10 ultra is really a nice phone,and I'm glad that xiaomi is a Chinese mobile phone brand.
still mi4 here
You won’t ever film discretely with THAT lens. Even when you’re texting, people will think you are filming! 🧐😳📸
😂
lol 😂
Creep shots will be hard to take for the perverts
TayZonday watches Mrwhosetheboss? Danggggg
Bruh, why are you filming discretely?
One of the weirdest looking phones but oddly enough one of the aesthetically nice looking phones I’ve ever seen.

Yeah
Huawei had that design
this is the first video i saw from you. and i have to say you do an absolutlely great job!!👍🏼
I like how you leave it to us. While giving us as many details as possible, you still say it's up to us what's most important.
The design looks a lot more thought-out than the basic "glass rectangle with camera holes for cameras"! Glad to see even more competition in the Android space.
Yep!
@@singhtv1911 ok, I won’t read your name
I like the mini screen from last year
@Infinity I want dbrand to make a skin for it that looks like a minion
@@blue_ig1 i agree
They always miss it in the details and think they will get away with it. But it's the reason they never really win. A 1080p front camera is a deal-breaker for a phone of this cost in 2022.
Yes, my Snapchat and Instagram really benefits from 1080p camera. /s
this!!!!!
Some of us never use the front camera but will walk over hot coals for a portable dslr-like dupe
Unless u r a photographer or video enthusiast 1080p still is a good option!
Who uses a front camera? All those people already use iPhones
Love the way you give a balanced review by comparing at all the individual features!
I love Xiaomi phone for 4 years. I loved it. I am from SKorea
It's amazing that he posts such quality contents in short amounts of time while maintaining his health... Keep it up
I'm at 0:17 and I already know I dig that full blown compact camera look so much that I'd be ready to buy it on that basis alone. If I had the cashish, of course.
Really good video, wonder if you could compare SAR values in your phone reviews.
I love how you are getting outside more! Love your health efforts. Keep it up!
It's very interesting to see smartphone companies trying out new designs with new features. Btw huge thanks to Arun for bringing out these information very fast and accurate.
New things? So a bigger camera? Yeah that's so innovative..
Hang on, I think I've seen this before. RIGHT HUAWEI
Arun is HINDU 🙏 I'm very happy for his success.

Great Video,i still have my Samsung S10+ with 500 gb storage,and iam still very satisfied.The Camera makes fantastic Photos,although i use the Pics almost always just for FB,Twitter or Insta,and when i go traveling to the Swiss Alps.And when i have to use it on my laptop to look they are still looking stunning.I dont know how far this Camera war will end.I dont see any sense to look the Pics on a big screen just to find out minor Diffrences.Iam waiting for the S23 Ultra and see what iam gonna do.
Man I enjoy watching your channel I am actually watching this channel using my Samsung 22 ultra 😀 😄 👍 😎 I like how detailed your content is and informative on technology I loved that video with the rc cars I was wondering if possible have you made a video on best cheapest drone and most expensive drone
The Xiaomi 12S Ultra is good, but I just think I’d prefer the S22 Ultra. It looks cleaner, it has an S-Pen, better display and potentially better support. Edit: Apparently there is a war in the replies. Proceed with caution…
S-pen has no functional use. its just for users to say "my phone has a pen"
lmao how the fuck is the display better its the same
@@JS96919 what about the digital artists, hm?
@@NotAkriti With a smartphone display size? What else your going to use it besides using the pen for writing
@@jessenthebenezer even if the dispaly is same but Samsung's display look aesthetically better.
I've been waiting on this phone for almost a year!!! Excellent video and appreciate the honesty as always. Even with the caveats, I'm still going with Xiaomi here. If the updates prove to be inconsistent in the future, I'll go with the rooting route 🙏🏿
You always make the best videos, thank you for your balanced review!
Heyy Mr. Who's the boss. I actually thought this channel was gone and the reviews. I'll like see more content on this channel. Keep the real reviews up
The most professional, detailed, entertaining and informative review I have ever seen on KZhead. It is as if I was holding those two devices and was thinking which one to buy.
ever seen? is this your first day on this platform?
@@Xfade81 Yes I think this is the best review of a product ever on KZhead. Anything Else I can answer for you?
@@armen45100 looks a sales man trying to sell a less competetive item to me tho.
@@edgea7221 What is with these toxic people over here.. 🙄
dont by samsung
i love how xiaomi has put in the effort to make a a phone that's literally as Ultra as it gets on the spec sheet, but it doesn't quite feel complete and consumer focused yet. don't get me wrong the phone is insane but as a casual smartphone user the S22 Ultra edges on the 12S Ultra, plus it has the S-pen too.
You are completely right, Its not worth more than 300$,
Do not forget about software support. And service.
Xiaomi does not allow you to put the launcher you want. Xiaomi is a low cost phone, never a high end one, even if the price is. I would never buy
Yeah, Samsung is the win for most of the masses. I do agree.
@@ramijkhan9038 but mi have better performance
Shouts to you for shouting out Greenville NC . You're at town commons very nice !
Shocked to see that photos & that video switch of you recording yourself from your regular dslr cameras to Xioami is wow.
Hi Arun, i really like your videos, the fine tuning, the editing, already subscribed 2 years ago, but it just kept getting better. I was also wondering, how are you doing with the daily exersizes? I was following along, I'm just curious. Love from Hungary
One thing u didn't mention, the new mi 12s ultra is finally Xiaomi's first ip rated phone at an ip68 rating Love the new design and i hope Xiaomi can keep up with their claims on this one . . Edit: oops i forgot about the mi11 series being waterproof , my bad
its not their first ip68 rating phone tho
Lol 11U and 11pro is ip68
First main flagship*
also 24k gold on ring camera

That huge camera cut doesn’t look bad at all. Good job Xiaomi. 👍

@@dimglow It might but it depletes the horrendous wobble on a flat surface phones have nowadays. My Mi 10T Lite has a circle in the middle aswell and I love it.
It looks horrible
It's horrendous
@@dimglow Which is based off the Mate 40 Pro
I agree. I love the design.
Love the vids btw
@@saturn7835 because camera sensors are getting bigger and bigger. And telephoto and periscope take a lot of space.
@@faisalrahman9236 ????????
@@tacohead8543 oops, I replied to the wrong comment😅.
Don’t get fooled by design. The Chinese companies are just a front for CCP to snoop on people. Just read recent news on tik tok sending US user data to China. Chinese brands should be just banned worldwide as they cannot be trusted with our data
As predictedby many some years ago, brands are actually going crazy with the camera size 😂😭
you haven't seen anything yet , look at the new feature f Xiaomi 12S , you can attach Leica M lens ,that could cost 3x times the price of the phone ,the lens alone. They testing the grounds to go that far .
I really like your reviews man!
My man powered up with the video quality. Good Job Arun and team!
2:45 Not being able to set you own launcher? That's a huge no-go for me! I always set my personal launcher, that's the unique selling point of Android. Being able to modify everything to your own liking.
I know right, i also wonder what MIUI's approved launchers are
These restrictions are only on Chinese variants.
@@monsterfrankenstein6142 So he has a Chinese phone
@@monsterfrankenstein6142 no, they aren't, also isn't good software I still have a mi 9 and is slow because MIUI
You are able to set different launchers it just gives you a warning
We are missing the usual Outro Arun! Bring it back, or bring it back in a better way! Now it seems cut off suddenly at the end. I enjoy every bit of your videos from start to end, and ending on a nice mrwhosetheboss logo and an upbeat tone is something missing in recent videos.
The design is cool, it makes it look like a proper camera. At times you can see the beautiful Leica colors shine through, but it’s very wonky. Hopefully that is fixable via software.
1:40 i guess he made a drop test with it 😂😂😂
Subscribed! Awesome videos, dude! Love it and looking forward to see more of your super cool content!
Great Videos review, Beautiful phone by the way and my question is how it work in the us?
You should do a more in depth photo review. Also, please add chapters to your videos
What time of day is filming happening that there aren't loads of people around?? Anyway, great vid, informative and entertaining, and most of all: honest. Which is what we love! [and oh shoutout to the filming in 35 degrees - that's impressive.... might explain the lack of people who were like "we are NOT going outside in this weather" but props that you did!]
Good video man! Keep up the hard work
Loads of info about sound and speakers there. Thanks.
Can you please do a video on the iphone13pro fake 120hertz. I notice it every time I use my 13ProMax and it's very annoying when using an s22ultra right beside it. Golden reviewer so far is the only yt reviewer who acknowledged it so far and the comments of the video feel it too.
Keep Evolving Like That Bro, Love Your Videos
Great video! And lovely photos. I'm not switching to Xiaomi anytime soon, but this video IMO was a pretty balanced review.
Great video Greenville north Carolina nice place I lived in Greensboro now I live in Illinois
good work bro!! all the best!!
Thanks, Aaron a really clean and awesome video as always.
Arun, this is such good quality content and I have an idea for a future video, you've done videos in the past about smallest and biggest tech you could find etc etc ,so I was thinking you could make a video of the most expensive knockoffs you can find. Keep up the great work!
That’s actually my favorite smartphone camera design of all time.
Love your videos, seems like a really cool phone, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the terrific zoom on the Samsung which I use so often. And that Xiaomi is very difficult to get your hands on in the US.
Happy to see Xiaomi have their own unique identity in every aspects
a Nokia lumia influenced no doubt.
@@seigfredancay4963 nah, don't think so
Micro SD wouldve been a great addition to uniqueality
At 9:56 What music is this? I love it
But xiaomi is not durable its only an fashionable item
Another great video, thank you 🙂 I wish more KZheadrs could put as much thought & care into their content. Keep up the great work.
Nice! Hold up was N.C Greenville? What you was doing in my family neighborhood? 🤗
Waiting for s23 ultra 🤩🤩
Your smartphones feedback never disappoint me, I definitely keep loving your videos!!!
I'm really impressed how you're able to deliver us these videos, because it's made really well like every clip looks GORGEOUS and the quality is just amazing
I really love the way that you present a mobile. Greetings from Greece ❤
Sick intro song man 🤘
prefer One UI more than MIUI... even though 12SU is really attractive to me
Miui memiliki fitur yang lebih banyak dibanding one ui walaupun terkadang belum optimal
@@berylium45 it definitely is optimal with this phone tho this is like their highest end thing
@@berylium45 bug ui
Miui actually spies on you and has ads, so if you get this install like google experience or smthn
@@ardthelazylmao4770 Bro then you can just buy a pixel 6 or somethin, why you need to install a custom rom on a flagship phone? Like wtf
Thanks for the really great, honest and unbiased review.
The still photo looks very very good especially the noise free night shots but I feel the video still has not improved especially when the jello effect caused by the stabilization still is visible
Nice video Arun!
Great review as always!! Phone specs look amazing. Disappointed it doesn't have a higher optical zoom tho
7:32 it's evident which phone you're shaking more 🤣
Hi i'm a big fan of your content too bad i watch from a friends phone i would really love to share your good content.With much Respect Ken.
Man imagine if the pixel came out with a 1in sensor. 😩 but it will probably be the pixel 10 that will have that.
Just waited for your Video! Love you bro ❤️
I've seen this all over their Facebook and I've been waiting for you to do a video on it! Can't believe you got ahold of it so soon though!
Finger print scanner can be customised like older model before this, touch to scan or press to scan. Your choice, because sometimes you just want to tap but accidentally unlock it.
Could you do a review on the Samsung s8 and s8 plus? would love to know more about my old phone!
I don't think he's going to make a review on a phone coming up on 6 years old
I always get excited when theres a new Xiaomi mi phones to see what Arun thinks of them
Great video and all but I'm more impressed with the fact that Arun is actually prioritising his health by spending more time outside and starting to film outside again like he said he would in that other video! Can't wait for the three months to be over so that we can all see your transformation! GGs king! 👑👑
He’s not king
Ohh you are in North Carolina.? Come on down to beautiful Florida. 🤪 I'm happy with my Pixel 6 Pro 💯%
Maybe you can share one, from the phone you have been reviewed, whatever model will do😊
Same here - but I've just had to buy a phone because my 4 years old Galaxy S7 finally installed the spider app. So I'm thankful to this channel and one of the past video I've seen comparing iPhones with Androids and mainly Apple vs Samsung. The US KZheadr pretty often preferred the iPhone in a category over the Samsung. But then near the end he admitted that in 2022 get still was using the S21 Ultra, because it was the better package, sometimes in tiny things like missing vibration calls on the S22U but never on the S21U. So now I'm happy I could buy a absolutely new looking S21U with 256 GB for way less then a new S21U, not even mentioning S22U. And I'm absolutely amazed. The 10x optical camera (240 mm equivalent) is like a telescope in my hands, it's the first smartphone which can see farer then my naked eyes. So I'm happy, there are companies creating and optimizing all these great devices, organizing the marketing that early adopters spent their money on these and a little bit later I can get the same tech for halve the price. And my wife, who is not so interested in all this tech stuff at all, gets an extremely decent phone, better then my flagship S7 years ago, for even way less money. She loves her A52 for being water proof (dropped it already into a water bucket), the vibrant OLED screen, making extremely nice images and especially the macro images it takes.
What is the spider app?
The 12 ultra looks stunning, but it seems like xiaomi is still holding back from going all in, they always have had a quality disparity between the main lens and the uw/zoom, I own a 10 ultra and the camera setup in very similar, love the versatility it provides but the quality of uw makes it very hard to use in anything other than perfect lighting, probably same story here with the 12s ultra; miui is also another problem, it is fun and nice to use but there is just bugs that can happen and you won't be able to fix them, and if you use it as your daily driver these smaller problems really build up the frustration.
Yes telephoto and ultra wide wich are good are already 2 year old, I think the 989 was costing to much
I just don’t understand what everyone loves so much about S22U Cameras, i have been a samsung user since a very long time but believe me I had recently a 9 Pro,iPhone 13 Pro Max and the S22 Ultra I always preferred OP 9Pro or 13PM’s pictures over S22 Ultra
Well, if the topics about camera is all about taste. The photos isn't my favs for sure. Like RN i'm using the phone that is underrated and most people doesn't used (X5 pro as my main and X80 as secondary)
nah, samsung>>>
Which camera are using for your video is very clear
Looks like a UFO disk on the back
S22 ultra is more detailed here 6:53 Time for glasses ?
Hes def

2:10 "it's nothing you haven't seen before" iPhone:
I have used Samsung phones for the last decade exclusively, starting from a Galaxy S2 to my current driver, the Note 10+. I always loved them but it is nice to see that other brands can do almost the same without breaking your wallet. If my Note10+ wouldn't satisfy my "needs" in 2022 (which it certainly does quite well) I may be thinking of giving the Xiamoi S12 Ultra a try. Android phones are topping each other every year so I am curious what the market will look like in 2 years when I am ready to ditch my Samsung phone. Anyways - beautiful and informative video, Arun! Greets from Austria!
Ah, there was no S2.. Samsung came out with S3 when it came to their first smartphone.

Sometimes im only watching for the video production, deym, the creativity, the smoothness of every transition, its just so fun to watch 👏👏🍻🍻
@Mrwhosetheboss You are a very intelligent fellow. I wondered why you'd write subscribe with a yellow ink on a white background, when it can barely be seen. Then I realized that the purpose was to ensure everyone paused, calmed down and really observed what it was you wrote. Such psych & good IQ. Kudos 👍.
I like designs very edgy ish and like sharpened and the zoom is definitely useful especially the spen
