You really did it, you dropped the S22 review on 2/22/22
No, It’s 23.02 in Germany 😂
@Mohammed Atif regions that dont matter

Right with you
While it is true that the vibration is weaker because of the axis, we should also note that there is a setting under "Sound and Vibrations" called "Vibration sound for incoming calls" which imitates the sound of the vibration motor using the phone speakers. It is very convincing and can make up for the new vibration motor's lack of strength.
Not the same though... and that sound is very irritating and cannot be adjusted... to lower it
Thank you so much! I came for the camera capability review at 08:11 I don't care about 8k video. But getting close is critical, Using it for insect colony inspections :) I'm a professional photographer and have been so impressed with phone image quality that I seriously need to carry one as well. 1080p video is where I have the most interest. I do wish you had covered macro capability. Thumbs UP and I wish you all the best.
And no sd card slot. Pathetic.
Were u impressed with the camera capability???
@@robstuart1385 I just bought the 500 GB version. I shot en entire convention over two days and didn't even begin to use up the data storage capability. Then just download to your portable drive and you're in great shape. I actually don't want a micro sd card as that would be another opening in the case.
UPDATE I bought it, and have been using this phone for months. It's a winner in every possible way. Less expensive than a single lens for my mirrorless cameras, it's quick and ready, with excellent audio. Video quality is exceptional The ability to zoom in a blink, is invaluable. I've conducted interviews with it and captured video sequences that appear seamlessly in my final video productions. You can't tell when we switch between cinematic cameras and the phone. It's that good. Worth every penny, thank you.
@@FrederickDunn but at what cost?
I think it's better to have a brighter photo in the dark, than a more realistic one. You can always darken the scene afterwards, but you cannot retrieve lost detail in darker shots.

Night photography is all about capturing as much photos as you can get. Look up astrophotography. This is a feature not a bad things
but what's the point of night photo if doesn't seem like it was taken at night
I got one as well, and it's exactly what you expect. It's not a "stand out" for sure, but jumping from an S10, you can definitely tell the difference.
I upgraded to an S21 Ultra from my S10 and I LOOOVE it!
Noice!👍
I'm with you on this, loved my s10+ but i feel like the s pen is a must for me now, as well as the extra cameras
lol im on my s10 too and thinking about upgrading to this. yall on convincing to do it but not there yet haha
Using s10 right now. Im waiting for my pre order s22 ultra
Excellent review - and man - you are smooth in front of a camera. Congrats!
6:07 I can agree not hearing the vibration has made me miss calls before. Then I realized how silly that expectation is, the whole point of vibration alerts is to not make noise. Once I was on a job interview and my phone kept vibrating and it was very distracting to everyone in the room
Good point
You should at least be able to feel the vibration, but not hear it too loudly.
No, that’s what silent is for.
Theirs is literally numerous vibration settings for the calls and the notifications, not to mention the intensity setting, I just changed my notifications vibration settings to a Lower one, because the longest loudest one is too annoying, I have mines set on spring, it's less annoying especially when I have my phone in my hand
Well, for interview, you should have just muted the phone. But for me, when I am in the library, I need to hear vibrations. I can't keep the phone on silent nor on volume.
Phone reviews are so addicting to watch... even if I'm not buying the phone anytime soon.
Most definitely buddy indeed.
Lol, agree.
Facts
That's funny. I just got the s21 ultra haha
I wish there was a button to turn off the urge to buy a new phone since I don’t need to upgrade even though my phone is 2 years old already phones are crazy good now specially if it’s an iPhone Software updates are forever and will last longer than your phones life so stop wanting to by a phone please watch the reviews but don’t buy it sincerely me to me
Thank you once again for such a clean non dramatic review.
Nice "Founder Bricks" statues you got there at 10:10. I'm surprised no one noticed!!
Goes to show how good phones have gotten that Marques ain't even switching. It's the first I've seen him stick to last year's flagship when the new one came out.
The differences are so minuscule every year for every phone brand. You need to wait 2-3 years to notice a difference in your daily use
Yes, despite some promo and hype from affiliated Samsung YT channels, the sensible consumer can guage that the S22U is basically the S21U with a new sticker and software, that may indeed turn up on the S21U in due course (not yet so Samsung can sell the S22U). It is an iterate upgrade but for those coming from S10 and older will be a nice upgrade.
Honestly it goes even further. I'm heavily debating switching from my Note 10+ which by now is 2,5 years old. The phone itself is fine and there is so little to gain. The main reason I'm even debating it is software... Hardware wise it runs fine. Sure, no 120hz, 5G or the x3 and x10 telephoto camera's (which I really want too) but it goes to show how good their recent phones were.
@Zaydan Naufal The Note 8 has features I'm truly going to miss. SD card storage and LED notification I appreciate daily. The Headphone jack, stylus on the right are lesser issues, but still things I don't think necessary to be deleted. What I'm not going to miss is the Note 8's horrible battery life. I can't even say it's because of how old it is because the batteries are replaced when you have screens replaced. Also it is so buggy and slower as the days go by. I remember feeling like this at the end of 3G when 4G LTE was coming out.
Sar value *#07# plz tell bro
I believe Arun's battery test was also based on the Exynos version of the chipset, so probably not entirely applicable for the NA/Snapdraggon version.
Yea im curious for the snapdragon model
Yeah, SD has very poor eficiency on full load too, but maybe it's better on daily uses than the Exynos
@@ghfsd786fa yea i hope the battery life with the sd is great
But remember that is a first test, will become better an better with future updates
They is little to no difference this time around Numerous reviewers have stated. Don't be scared to obtain the exynos version as it's just as good as the SD now.
Great video man! I just picked up 2 of them. they are awesome!
My man your reviews are DOPE thanks for being you :)
I'm currently living overseas and the S Pen I amazing for translations. you can hover over a word, sentence etc... and it will translate for you on the fly. No having to open a translation app, taking a pic and so on. Some really great hidden features
Wow, that is great I did not know that about the S Pen. I want to continue learning Spanish so this is good to know.
Yes, this! I have the Note20 Ultra and I enjoy learning languages and the instant translation on hover is one of the most useful tools I've ever encountered for language learning. It even translates text from images instantly - it's not flawless, admittedly (you can get dodgy fonts in images) but by and large it works very well the majority of the time for text in images. I think people need to understand that it can do much more than note-taking and doodling (though it is great for those as well).
How do you hover over the sentence? I've only been able to translate single words at a time which makes it useless
I'm quite impressed how the S Pen didn't really compromise the rest of the phone. That's a really huge pen inside, yet the internals still as good as the best of the best.
Yeah because the phone is huge
Nothing new for Note phones.
Except for the chipset which is still way behind iPhone.
@@gfyGoogle Different customers. I can do quite a bit more than on an iPhone with my current Note. Can't wait till mine gets here.
@@punksjutgbd Irrelevant. Still not the "best of the best" in terms of CPU power. Just like iPhones aren't the best of the best in terms of their screens.
Great review! Very informative and to the point. Much success to you!
Always go to look at your channel until you've reviewed it. Ty, for your chan! Life saver!
Watching this on my S22 Ultra which I just received today. A beast of a phone, and so far I'm enjoying it!
Same!
Mine will be here Thursday. I have a S21 Ultra but I’m upgrading for the note features. I prefer the square screen and built in s-pen. The fact you need a case to carry the pen on the 21 makes it useless.
Huge congrats! I'm personally debating on it or Pixel 6 Pro... 🤷♂️🔥
cap
@S Halder how's the battery life ? And does the phone warm up like what everyone is saying ?
Having never owned a Galaxy, this really makes me want to try one out!
I changed to iPhone last year but I must say the note is always goona be my Favorite
Good voice bro you comment to mgkhb too lol
You should
I was just watching your dual monitor set up video before this 😖💕
Don't.
Thanks for the great vid, I actually am waiting on this phone to ship to the store I ordered it from. My question to you though is how does it fair when taking videos? Maybe it's just me, maybe I really just overall suck at taking vids. but on my the S21 Ultra which froze & became non-responsive in less than a year.........the vids I took were so blurry, I couldn't stand it. You couldn't even really tell all that much, what was going on in the vid. Have you tested the vid quality on the S22 Ultra? and if so, what did you think?
Thanks for the video. What mode should be used when filming videos between FHD UHD or 8k?
I prefer the aesthetics of the way Samsung did the camera rings this year. To my eyes it is a much cleaner look - Dbrand's case is the perfect addition to the phone making the camera hump/rings sit flush on a flat surface - I'm a fan
yeah, it's like a32 from last year 😁
Idk to me it looks unfinished Like an asset in a game failed to load
@@muhammadramadhan9610 USA gak ada A32 bang heee
Does samsung s22 ultra call recording option?
@@dimashariyadhi5329 iya ya.... sana pilihan nya terbatas
the notes stuff is the big yes there .. as Marques said.. the S Pen and features always there to be use without sacrificing anything on the phone. Great phone and great video as usual Marques✌️
I mean you are sacrificing something. The design is worse than the s21 ultra due to needing to make space for the a pen.
@@mythrol how exactly, most people prefer the boxy look than the generic curve.
@@oogwaythesussyturtle Its very uncomfortable and poky to hold in the hands, the corners just poke your palms
@@VisionaryTech yup that is a problem....but the s pen is still worth it...besides i think the regular s22s are very underrated. they are great i also ordered the s22 plus and i think i m gonna love it.. regular s22s are more than enough to satisfy most of the demands of a regular users
Hasn't the Micro SD be sacrificed?
Camera is dynamite. Display is extremely good overall. Lots of iterative improvements. There are some downsides, namely price & lack of SD. Overall, it's impressively good for anyone wanting the Note functionality. Also, the battery life is a little better now with updates.
@@bees_nail_art82 no
@@bees_nail_art82 duh as the guy above you said..........n NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And no sd card slot. Pathetic.
@@robstuart1385 no sd card doesn’t bother me
Ty.. We appreciate your candid review as always.
Whenever I hear "I don't really use the sPen" I feel like wow, you're missing a lot! If you look at the sPen as only for drawing and jottiing quick handwritten stuff then you're just scratching the surface. To me personally, coming from Note 4 onwards, I use the sPen not for handwriting but for keyboard Swiftkey predictive input. Pair that with Evernote (or any other note taking app ie. OneNote etc) that syncs across devices (laptop, tablet, desktop PC) and you have one productivity tool. I can take down notes much faster than handwriting or even typing on the phone. I have my calendar, tasks, journal, ideas all jotted down on my computer in my pocket. I use it for work in my meetings and for personal home stuff (ie. projects, to do's etc). I also use sPen with Lightroom app, easily adjust sliders for photo editing if i needed, edit quick videos, use the sPen to scrub through the timeline, easily screenshot/resize/edit using sPen, also highlight quickly and select texts on any page. I'm not getting a phone without an sPen, to me any phone without sPen is just for media consumption and not for productivity. I can't wait to get my S22 Ultra and I'm really hoping the big reason Samsung removed the Note title from the S22 Ultra is that they will introduce the sPen into the next Z Fold phone. That will be my dream phone if it ever does come out.
Here here. Love that pen. Couldn't agree more.
It doesn't stop there. As an engineer, I used the S pen to finish many drawings on AutoCad. I also used it for Solidworks and the phone handled the modeling part like it was nothing. Also I used it to sign and approve many last minute submissions. It's an absolutely fantastic tool if you know how to utilize it well.
Yeah honestly. If you're gonna review the S22 Ultra and not gaf about the S-Pen what are you been doing lol
Maybe im not understanding, but how does the Spen add anything to the keyboard switftkey predictive input experience? Can't you do that just as well with your fingers?
a "pen" makes sense for a resistive touchscreen but makes no F sense for capacitive ones
vibration motor was one of the biggest flops I noticed when moving from Note 8 to Note 10. I hate to hear my ringtone or my alarm's sound, so vibration is essential to me and the fact that it's getting worse gets me concerned. However it is not a dealbreaker.
you can solve that problem by downloading a vibration audio then set it as an alarm sound. if ever you'll be getting s22 ultra.
I noticed that switiching from my note 9 to the s22 ultra. The vibratiob is what wakes me up without waking up baby and wife. Big let down in that department. Also dont turn on bed time mode, it mutes said alarms completely and turns on airplane mode. That was fun for work.
its really a bummer for me I had no idea it was so bad the vibration motor even at max setting you will miss all your calls and notifications being in your pocket or on your desk its a huge mistake samsung made here for all us vibration mode fans. Im forced to leave the sound on its terrible. I might investigate to use a vibration sound but what a hassle
@@marquis51 I have a Note 10+ if I'm satisfied with the vibration motor now will I also be satisfied with the S22 ultra?
@@jimmyc1518 i have Note10+ and vibration is shit. I have to wear watch not to miss my calls.
Watching on the 22 ultra The vibration motor does make me miss calls and or messages Other than that and the battery this thing is immaculate
Glad to see support for camera privacy cases for this product.
I use the mobile version of Photoshop a lot! Moving the sliders are so much easier with the spen. Having the spen is a must for me! Can't wait until Friday. It was a good run Note 20 Ultra!
Friday for me, too. First "note" for me, I hope I will like the big size.
OP, you are the target customer for S22U
My phone actually came early!
@@TooEasyMal how much you want for that N20U??
I got it on Monday, upgraded from a S20+ and really enjoying it
Always love the simple informative presentation and review. Keep up the great work!
I really really love the s21 Ultra's design. I just wish they had included the sPen in it. I guess I'll have to buy this one then
I received the Dbrand Atomic Grip case today for my S22 Ultra and it rocks. Thanks. 🙃
I've been wanting to get another samsung phone for a while now and I knew their ultra was the way to go, but I also really wanted to explore the note series so this actually makes me really excited that they basically combined the two of them
Ultra is just a descriptor word, not the name of a phone itself. I have a Note 20 Ultra 5G. So they've done it before. The two phones combined here are the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note.
I have the boss, Fold 3 5G
Can't wait till the Fold gets a pen.
Get it!
@@Gjatt60 The fold is great but not the best. S22 ultra is the best phone they offer. Fold is nice too, but with a folding screen you kind of have to “compromise, and give up some of the more basic aspects of a phone” -Mrwhostheboss
I liked the idea of a curved screen, until I encountered the issues of screen protectors peeling off more easily. In addition to being more expensive and difficult to find a reliable curved screen protectors.
The best one is whitestone dome ,worth the money for an expensive phone like s22 ultra. I've tried all the other ones , until I finally bought the whitestone dome just follow the Instructions carefully . I regret no buying it sooner.
Samsung has one of the best screens.. I've never really had a need to use a screen protector. It's night and day.
I haven't use a screen protector in my last 3 phones, including this current one. Haven't encountered any scratches on my main screen. I do use protective case though. And while I'm not rough with it, I do put it in my pocket along with keys and coins.
I don't use screen protectors, no problems yet. The screens are extremely tough these days.
@@alihms if u put with keys and coins than you're lying lol 💯
great review, it was helpful had a ton of information, didnt overload me with spec sheets as long as my arm, might go grab me one of those phones.
Yep I came to look for camera stuff 😁
The music and music quality of the songs in your videos are just 🤌🏽
I was expecting a killer intro. Surprised there wasn’t one. Review on point as always.
He does it only for the iPhone
Does samsung s22 ultra call recording option?
@@gabrielfernandes1479 and the pixel
Not a killer phone
I don’t think it needs a killer intro to be complete, as long as the review is of substance it’s fine by me
I'm glad he said he's sticking with the S21 ultra. I have the 512gb/16 gb variant and it feels like such a solid phone even a year later. I was recording a video at my sister's party the other day and someone peered over my shoulder and was like "what phone is that, that footage is crazy" . The technology in these phones have advanced a lot and a lot of people in the real world have held on to their old flagships. The S21 ultra takes ridiculous photos and is so feature rich, I can see myself keeping this until 2024
I too like the S21 Ultra over the S22 but in terms of the design. Anyway in my country the S21 Ultra is Exynos while the S22 is Snapdragon so I've no choice but to go with the more expensive S22 Ultra just for the SoC.
Yeah, I feel that way too. I got a 12 Pro in December of 2020, switched to the Max a few months later due to size but honestly see myself keeping the phone a couple years.
same with my s10, did a project with it and my teacher said my footage looks the most crisp
people upgrading flagship phones every year are either uber rich or have serious problem. except for the tech reviewers that get phones for free ofc.
Keep it until 2025. You'll thank me later once you see what Samsung has coming out that year.
Loved all the notes.Sold my note 20 ultra for a fold 3.Fold 3 battery was crap.Sent it back and own the s22ultra and have to say its brilliant and better the my note 20 ultra.
Great to get real life knowledge about this phone, e.g, the vibration stuff. Thanks!
After the disappointment over the Galaxy Note not being released in 2021, I'm so excited to receive my Galaxy S22 Ultra. I went with the 512 GB version. Thanks, Marques for another amazing review video.

My sentiments, exactly.
This *might* be my next phone... I'm still rockin' the S8+ (and it's still going strong) but the stylus tech looks pretty dope. As far as cameras go, I'm using this Google Pixel 3 camera APK thing and it's amazing.
I still use my note 8 after 4 years and I just got the S22 ultra cause I needed an upgrade and man this phone is amazing!!!
wait til next year
Just upgraded from note 8! Definitely worth it
@@heroli18 went to the 21u from that model
i'm still on S7 edge
My S10+ still holds up well, and I am keeping for as long as it lasts, and the soelfie camera and cutout while watching videos was unique.
Same I have it and don't want to change it even for this. I just really luv it
Same. Nothing really made a huge impact in terms of flagship releases. Looking more like I'll just hold onto my 10+ for yet another year.
Just received mine! Can't wait to get into it!

Superb iteration of the S/Note line up. The burgundy color is stunning btw, more so than the metallic pink of the N20U. Really hoping Samsung is able to fit similar camera hardware and built in s pen on the Fold4. As always, great review and thank you for the content.
Getting this S22 Ultra this week and I cannot wait! Time has come since my Note 8 from 2017 just got a burnt screen 2 nights ago haha but hey, Note 8 served me pretty well
You're gonna love it, had mine for 2 weeks, and it is literally a mini laptop
Hi! How's your experience been? I'm planning to get one for my birthday in March, is it worth it?
I just did a warranty claim in the s21 ultra but they didn't have any and could "only" offer me the 22 ultra at no extra charge. Very excited to get this phone on Monday!
How have u been enjoying the S22Ultra???
@@ajindurr6818 it's been great, thanks for asking. Very happy they offered me the upgrade. I miss aspects of the s21 ultra but the s22 is all around a better phone
I like Marques' subtle shoutouts and recognition of other tech reviewers in his videos. It should be the norm across the tech community here at KZhead.
I've gotten 8-9 hours of screen on time on my s10+. not pushing it hard, but not going necessarily easy on it. I've tried to turn off features I don't need, and optimized it pretty well, so I think that's why. I wonder what I could from the s22u haha
Probably about the same. The batteries performance is not as good as it looks on paper.
I still have My S10+ only because it's The Last of An Ancient Breed. No more headphone jack after this one. The S22 Ultra is gonna inspire Me to purchase it off the strength of its Emulation capabilities alone.
@@MalcolmTurnerKing exactly why I'm holding onto my s10+ too
@@johnnytightlips991 how has it been holding up? I’ve been debating buying one since I switched to Apple but I love some of Samsung’s features and the note series
@@JV-ie4rh mmmm well its been almost 3 years since I first got the phone. Right now id say its operating at about 7/10. Some days its better than that some days its worse Biggest differences are the battery life has decreased dramatically and I get some lag here and there. Sometimes have to restart the phone. But I think I could definitely get another year out of it. Bear in mind howevet I'm in Ireland/UK so I have exynos chip not the snapdragon I personally have been thinking about going back to apple again, but was waiting on reviews for s22 ultra, so I'm not sure now myself what to do
Cool! I want this smartphone! Thanks for the review)
I love the S pen in note. S pen is a total game changer. Esp when editing photos videos and writing
Just got the ultra. Going to wait a few days while Android optimizes battery consumption. You can do some tweaking with the processing speed setting (3 options) combined with thermals app from Samsung store for what works best. I increase temps by 2c and Max processing noticed that cpu clocks stay really high for even the smallest processing and gets super hot quick.
I don't see a Thermals app. Is that the actual name or what is it called?
Which version do you have snapdragon or exynos?

I think the camera bump of the S21 series was honestly the most beautiful, iconic and seamless look of any camera bump.
I don’t like it idk why I just want a phone with no bump just make it fat with a fat battery and better cooling
No it was hideous
Nope
Love your phone reviews. On my 5th review and 3rd purchase because of the info you provide.
Just bought this phone yesterday. Absolutely love it so far!!
Got mine yesterday snapdragon version 12gbRAM/512gb storage and let me tell you this thing is a beast and I love it. Am coming back to Samsung after OnePlus and Iphone not exceeding my expectations. The S22 Ultra is an all around phone to have if you're a super user
What does being a super user mean?
You should've gone for a used note 10. Cheaper and basically the same stuff
@@prachurgupta9719 not true I had that before definitely a better experience with this alot of improvements. From the looks you can't tell them far apart but the software experience and camera changes you can't compare the two
@@advenum Being able to perfom almost everything with your phone that you would think the phones of today would handle ..the list is too long .Btw I've seen some reviewers complain about battery life but mine has been great i cant complain if by the end of the day the phone battery is still above 50% with heavy use
@Diogo Yes it all comes down to personal preference
I am glad that you pointed out the dust accummulating around the rear lenses. I am always cleaning my phone. The S21 Ultra still has a better design and it is easier to clean, in my opinion. Sticking with the S21U for now. But the S22U is still impressive.
Try cleaning just with a stream of water (just not a high-pressure one), and sponge, works well for me
S20 FE has been all I've needed. Camera sucks with flash though
Yeah the design change was change for change's sake, poor choice
@@_Digitalguy No it wasn't. The S21U contour cut worked because of rounded edges. They couldn't do the rounded edges this time because they had to fit in the S Pen, thereby making it boxier.
@@infinity8543 Yeah, but they made the S22 boxier too and still kept the contour (granted, this time it was not merged with the body, but still more visually pleasing and providing some protection for the cameras)
I actually prefer a quieter vibration as I am a light sleeper and will probably hear this one and should wake up more 'calmly'. I heard the S21 is still have issues globally. The S-pen is a plus but the price seems a bit steep. Gonna wait for price drops.
appreciate the review
S pen translation is something I have been using quite a lot when I live abroad. It has been a lifesaver for me so many times. You can't find similar functionality anywhere else.
The day always gets better when Marques uploads! Thank you for the high quality, interesting videos!
Agreed 👍
@Instagram User shut up
@Instagram User ratio
Except for that time Marques tried to convince us all laptops are ultrabooks
Exynos 🤣🤣🤣mk cheating on his audience tbh🤣🤣
The clock in the back is also on 2:22. Nice.
i got the phone recently and the screen curving to the edges makes typing a bit hard because your palms might press against the back key button unintentionally. i miss my note 3. i dont like the size of the samsung galaxy ultra 22. But it is a good phone. The phone feels slippery. So i got a rubber protective case. It makes the phone easier to hold and now my palms arent touching the back key so i recommend it.
I like the change on the vibration motor actually. I find the Samsung vibration super excessive compared to other phones and it drives me crazy when my coworkers phone vibrates on the table next to me. This X axis thing is gonna make it more similar to the iPhone I think.
you can just lower it????
Awesome review! Going from a note 10 plus to this ultra. Should arrive tomorrow for me. I'm excited. Thank you for helping me understand my new phone more. I do wish the display was flat but it does give it a premium look that others don't have. Excited to play with the cameras 📷

What would you all rate this phone (out of 10)? I'll be coming back to the Galaxy line from an iPhone 11, just for reference (I had an S9 before that)
Actually heard Marques review but wondering this... What does Andrew think of the S22 Ultra and what is his daily driver? Thanks Marques been a fan for years!!
I've always used the S Pen more for simple navigating instead of using my fingers. Which is faster, more accurate & it doesn't dirty your screen up with smudges either.
I love how you make well explained videos.
Excellent! Very well explained and I subscribe to your channel. Thank you.
Love your vids bro as allways ,thanks
Best part of the review 5:01 - finally he reviews something he made!
I love this phone so much! I love the multitasking/split screen capability & s pen.
This is the only phone I've ever had that I'd say had an "exceptional" battery. With 5G on, multiple Bluetooth connections, auto brightness, max resolution and refresh rate, I regularly get 7+ hours SoT before I hit 15%, without having to think about it. This is really the kind of phone you can forget to charge overnight and still make it through another full day in a pinch.
lol its the same as the iphone 13 pro max you tool
How?
Same with Tecno 20pro
Can you say same now? just want to know
IPhone 13 pro max left the chat
Nice review. Thanks. but what I haven't heard is about the quality of audio that is recorded when shooting videos. I wanted to watch some videos on that in KZhead, but haven't found any especially of the newest models. I have Note 10 but I really don't like the audio when I try recording video playing my guitar. I think there is a mobile phone out there that gives a studio like audio when recording acoustic guitar but haven't found any such video on KZhead. That would definitely would have helped me decide to buy a mobile phone of my choice.
I have had mine a couple days. Coming from a note 10+ the buttons and pen location has swapped. I love the feel of the pen.
As someone who isnt a photographer or gives a crud about recording every moment in my life. Id love to see a review mention amy significant differences without bringing up the camera.
Well for phones there isn’t much else to upgrade. Storage, camera, and battery life are the biggest things. That’s why nothing much changes on both Samsung and apple’s end. Although I am in the same boat with you. Only reason I get excited is because I go 4-5 years before upgrading so to me it usually is worth while.
I am also on the 4-5 year boat. I highly recommend to get a new phone after that since the chances of sudden unpleasant failure start to go up... Best to get a replacement before critical failure imo.
About some of the photography and certainly video recording resolution etc, it does sound like the device needed an update straight out of the box!
I have waited for your review on the Ultra among all the reviews out there for 1 week and kept checking your channel everyday at least 3 times a day and finally its here. Thanks MB for a great review.
Anytime I see that shot of the phone at the top of the stairs knowing fully well it’s a 1 person shot with Marques holding the kimono and a massive cinema lens, I’m more and more impressed that its in focus, and he hasn’t dropped a phone down the stairs.
I'm pretty excited and chose the ultra just because I haven't upgraded in years I still have an s9. Ill stick with a phone until its completely antiquated and its time to upgrad it should be here tomorrow and can't wait the s9 has been great but its time to move on and hopefully will last a few years just like the s9. I dont believe upgrading every year is necessary thanks for sharing bud
Great review. Thank you!
Just to note (lol) I believe Arun adjusted the screen brightness on all phones so they output a similar nit count, so max screen brightness wouldn't affect the results of the battery test. Also he only had the exynos chipset to test. Thanks for the awesome content!
If they were true to their word, the exynos chips should give almost the same screen on time as the snapdragon chips.
@@nikhilchandran1 the same. At least that was the case last year
@@nikhilchandran1 Exynos is garbage. Especially the Exynos modems.
@@jimv1983 I'm not saying they are better, I'm just saying that the exynos chips were improved and according to Samsung they should give the same amount of screen on time as snapdragon chips
@@nikhilchandran1 given Samsung's history with Exynos I don't have much confidence in that statement especially when using mobile data.
My last two phones were the Note 10+, then the S21 Ultra. I moved from the Note because it had weak glass (smashed front and back and repaired). Also I didn't use the S-pen much either. Very happy still with the S21 Ultra, looks new after a year and is a phone classic. This looks a great phone, especially for Note 10/20 /S20 users (all stlll great phones). Will keep the S21 Ultra for another year as Samsung is getting very good these days in software and updates.
What do you mean that notes have weak glass my note 9 has been dropped from 2 stories nothing really happened except a chip on the side
Dude haven't you ever heard of a case?
How much did u pay for each phone? Is Samsung phone still full of bloatwares?
I love the rolled over sides. Since my first galaxy edge flat screens don't look right to me. I'm completely addicted to the edge
@Marques Brownlee, I have a Note 8, and wondering if the vibrate on the S22 will be at least as strong as what I am used to on my existing device (sitting on a desktop), it is loud enough for me to hear in another room when the house is quiet (one room over)? We are actively looking at Verizon or staying with AT&T and I see this is now available in an unlocked combo to enable me to go to any carrier GSM or CDMA, and I would prefer to stick with a Samsung device versus going back to iPhone since I have been a convert for many years now. I held off hoping for the "Note" to come back under that name but it is not going to happen and I would have purchased the S21 while my phone was worth considerably more six months ago, but I digress. For a heavy data user, messaging, music, video, sending photos, and taking a lot of photos, is this phone worth it? I would like 1TB but they are completely sold out, so I can only get half a TB which is more than I have now, but I keep my phones until I need to replace them and do not want to hate it in a week and need to switch to something else. Thanks, Lynn
Just upgraded from a Note 20 Ultra, received this yesterday. Loved the matte finish on the S-Pen.
Any way you can tell me if when you take a picture of a "document" if all the surrounding edges are blurry like the Note 20 Ultra was. My Note 10 plus took amazing pics, focused edge to edge. When I got the Note 20 I was highly disappointed with the camera while taking pics of important papers. Thanks!
@@O-RoD I totally remember this issue with my note, will update you in a couple hours about this
@@O-RoD Just checked now, clicked pictured of few documents. They look great, it seems Samsung has fixed that issue. Also, one workaround I used with my note was to use the office lens. It took better scans than the native camera app
@@anmolshah thank you very much for taking the time to do this. I'll consider pre-ordering the S22 Ultra now! Much appreciated!
@@O-RoD no problem, bro
I'm glad you pointed out the x-axis vibration motor. I have a Samsung midrange phone with the same vibration axis and I can hardly feel it on my pocket (I mostly miss out on important calls/messages while on the go). It's been my biggest complain and now that you pointed it out on this flagship, I will not consider it anymore :)
Midranges don't have the one s22 has. They are most likely ERM which rotates. Flagships used to have Linear but z axis. S22 got newly any only Samsungs phone to get the x axis one

Why not just turn on the ringer while on the go?
I lost this phone in 6ft of water for 48 hours and when I finally found it , the phone was still on and I have had no problems with it so far since.
Do you have any update on the waterproofing of the phone?
wow
While i lost my s8 on water with crack screen for about 4hrs and not a thing happened
@@arunachaliboy7100 the s8 was a beast of a phone. I took that thing swimming and snorkeling. Iphoners were gasping when I would come out the water with that phone in hand.
You can zoom out on 8k video. It automatically puts it at 9:16 but you can switch to 1:1 which is perfect
As someone who's been using the Note 9 since its release date, the S22 Ultra is definitely going to be a worthy upgrade for me.
With you on this. I am upgrading from a Note 9 as well.
@@BD-no2be me too the Note 9 user..is it worth upgrading to S22 Ultra?
Coming from a note 8 here lol!!
so, was it worth it?
Note 8 here 😂😂😂😂
The clock is set to 2:22. This S22 Ultra Review was realased on 2/22/22
I just got the S22+. Such an awesome phone. Upgraded from my Note 9 trade-in.
Was about to do the same from my Note 9 but went with iPhone 13 pro max. Got it yesterday and already questioning my decision😕
Thanks, you always give a very good presentation.
Upgrading from the S10+ I almost went with the S22+ because of the squared off design and familiar feel but with AT&T offering what they did I had to upgrade all the way.
Went into Best Buy today to look at it, and was VERYYYYYYY impressed! I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S10, and I LOVE it!.......but, its starting to show its age lol! Either way, I was waiting for YOUR full review of the note, and I totally think I can justify dropping SO much money on a flagship phone like this. Thanks MKBHD! Been watching your stuff sine around 2012, 2013, and I appriciate you still making trustworthy and super polished tech content on the platform. Much love 🙏💯💖😁
