ZTE AXON 40 Ultra vs Samsung S22 ULTRA Smartphone Comparison - Clash of the ULTRAS!

[@NathanElcoate]

As a S22 Ultra owner I'd love to try the ZTE.

[@damionfeare2321]

Same

[@kyleb3293]

Axon 40 all the way, I have the Axon 30 and its fantastic.

[@berhoom2024]

I had the Axon 10, but as with all ZTEs, updates are less than few...except the wallpapers. I'd Android 13 available yet for any ZTE?

[@martinivlogs]

Hi! Is this a really good phone? I am planning to buy one. I do not use the front camera much but I do use the rear camera a lot and I use the phone for emails, Whatsapp, social media and a lot of calling.

[@martinivlogs]

@@kyleb3293 the Axon 40 ultra 😊

[@kyleb3293]

@@martinivlogs It's a fantastic device actually, I really don't know why folks hate on the selfie cam so much its really, really good actually. Sure, it's not as good as the S22's non-UDC cam but for me, the trade off between an uninterrupted display is absolutely worth it. The only thing the AX40 is missing IMO is wireless charge but I rarely use it on my OP 10 pro so I've come to the conclusion I don't really need it lol I currently have the Ax30 but oddly enough was going to buy the 12/256 Ax40 this weekend!

Whatever you get avoid Sony Ericsson phones they're horrendous I got their 1st smartphone offering & I very quickly returned it (within the 14day no quibble returns policy) only other phone to are blackberry & HTC both of which went out of business about 2018ish Samsung are by & far the best phones available

[@simonbcity]

I still don't understand why they don't use the snapdragon chip in all their top end phones ..to get a lesser chip for the same price is a piss take to be honest

[@ChigzTech]

Yes exactly, I would have loved a SD version or make the Exynos cheaper.

[@jamesphillips2734]

I believe it's a licensing issue with Snapdragon in Europe so they were forced to use their own chip in European markets

[@Tmoshh]

@@jamesphillips2734 So why does the s21 fe have snapdragon 888 in European?

[@UcheRed]

ZTE has come a long way but they need to control that heating or else it will lead to glitching leading to restarting the phone too often...

[@EhsanMusic]

I'm going to buy the zte axon 30 ultra later today for £389. Great price for a great phone.

[@KTMLaranjinha]

Wish ZTE has that zoom power. Don't use selfie cam, really rare, so i prefer no hole punch but quality is meh...but i prefer to see vids and games with clear screen. You must do a comparision with Xiaomi ultra and s22 ultra ;) cheers from Portugal

to be fair ZTE Axon 40 ultra has more features then S22 Ultra motions changing home page icons etc n perfect true full screen no punch hole i rate that it can handle Games really well then its rival S22 Ultra Amazingly from what i heard n seen in them ova reviews...

looked up for latest zte phone. i had very good experience with zte phones until they were banned last 2020.. trying to go back. the 2 old zte i had are still working till now. one was dropped in a bucket of water. other one was smacked hard to the ground but the screen didnt break. Both those phones took good pictures. comparing it to my note 10+ pictures almost look the same. If those pictures didnt have the zte date watermark on photos i wouldve thought its from my note 10+.

[@martinthrone7012]

You can still get ZTE phones from independent suppliers....there's a phone seller called imzi communications in the back of Manchester's arndale centre they can & usually do get phones that are otherwise supposedly only available on lengthy monthly contracts from the BIG network providers I.e. O2 Vodafone & EE there's usually plenty of independent pay&go sim card providers if you want to get a GSM sim free phone.....all you need do is look around......good luck

[@ciggiaify]

On the picture of the garage, which phone is closer to the original color? There is quite a bit of difference.

[@Silver.Leaves]

zte axon has 35mm main camera. It's not ultra wide

[@96jwatson]

The zte is pretty nice but are you getting 4 years of guaranteed updates?

[@suk4ed]

Dear master Chigz, what about OS optimisation on ZTE ?

[@ChigzTech]

Both OneUI and MyOS are very well optimised and enjoyable to use. They both have their own customisation features and tricks. I enjoyed using both. Im very well aquatinted with OneUI, so it might be my personal performance. But I love how MyOS12 is fast, fluid and has privacy and security features to match. You won't be disappointed with either.

[@elleymiller2563]

Thank you, this is a really helpful review that covered all I wanted to know. Have a great week 😊

[@vijaynofear2250]

Samsung supports confirm 4 year of OS Software updates.. What about Zte OS Software update policy??

[@assassin2oo6]

Why is the Exynos not optimized for gaming?

[@ChigzTech]

During launch you could only play COD on low graphics. So it has improved since. But I guess Exynos just cannot keep up with Snapdragon.

[@qwerty6789x]

because its still new architecture. This exynos is packed with NEWER AMD GPU (Xclipse) and possibly capable of Ray Tracing in the future. most games or software today barely support its GPU. This is the Evolution of the OLD GPU design that snapdragon or other chipset uses which is the old Andreno

[@_Super_Hans_]

How can both screen sizes be 6.8" when the S22 is clearly bigger?

[@HoneyTwee]

different widths cause the same diagonal screen size to be different physical sizes. It's why modern slim aspect ratio 6.8" phones are not as massive as older more boxy screen 7" tablets with 16:9 aspect ratio displays. Also the size the the bezels, so the front of the phone that isn't screen, may be slightly different meaning the samsung is larger whilst having same display size.

[@theFRACTALREIGN]

measuring the more curved display diagonal of the ZTE gives a smaller profile than Galaxy 💯 the ZTE is still a great buy for the money in late '23 💯 the only drawback is the stock camera needs improving with sw updates

[@khalid17739]

thanks for the review , am interested to buy the Chinese version from zte device with 80w charger but i got confused because some websites and reviewers saying it supports ir blaster and others saying it's not supporting this sensor

[@ChigzTech]

It's strange, looks like a dummy IR blaster on top. Tried using it and it does not work. So that means no IT blaster.

[@ianjameshodges2999]

Great .. but I wish you would say in your opinion is the best.. Or if you were buying for yourself and wasn't a tech guy , which one would you go for honestly ? Thanks

[@ChigzTech]

If I was not a techie, I would pick the Samsung. It is hands-down one of the best Android phones you can buy right now. The camera system is just incredible. The build quality is impressive. The s-pen is a really nice bonus. There is nothing that can compete with the S22 ultra at the moment. That is my honest opinion. I thought the AXON 40 Ultra was similar so I made this comparison to showcase the differences.

[@martinthrone7012]

As a general rule I'd go for the Samsung but only because I'm used to their phones as for these 2 particular phones? it's a case of swings & roundabouts both have an edge on the other in various different aspects....my only major disappointment & concern is that neither has any external memory capacity which means that if you lose the phone or? break it or? it otherwise has technical issues then you will lose all your important data that's on it & with no way of recovering that data especially not if you don't have either or? both a laptop & tablet to debunk & store all your necessary data onto.....this will also mean that you're unable to update your WiFi hub/router/dongle & you'd also lose the ability to communicate with family or? others in an emergency situation.....so? therefore for me the lack of micro sd card support is a big big oversight but? now seeing as it's 2023 & the S22 has been superceded by the S23 then this comparison is kinda irrelevant because the S22 is old tech & the S23 is due to be superceded by the S24 in 2024 quite what it's advantage over it's 2 older predecessors is going to be is quite literally anyone's guess

Another great comparison! Personally, I would never pay over 1000 for a phone, but in this case, we get what we pay for...

[@ChigzTech]

Before I was a Tech KZbinr, the most expensive phone I bought was around £800 it was a Samsung phone, I proper saved up for it as I could not afford it straight away. I used it as my daily driver for over 4 years, I absolutely treasured it. It survived for a long time, in fact I still have it in a draw, it still works fine. I know the feeling, phone prices are soaring and I know its difficult. But you get what you pay for and the top phones last long, when looked after.

[@dragasan]

@@ChigzTech I know what you mean. I'm still using the Samsung Galaxy S10+. This thing has been with me all over the world. :) Always great work, Chigz, thanks again. I liked the battery and camera on the Xiaomi Redmi 9T, but the thing wouldn't turn back on after 9 months of use.

[@hermanstokbrood]

@@ChigzTech The problem is that highend means always a lousy price-performance ratio. The last 10-20% means twice the price or even more. I have a Poco F3 for 1.5 year now and love it. I paid €299 and can't imagine why people want to pay 3x the price.

[@ChigzTech]

I guess a photographer might pay extra for those power cameras features in the S22 Ultra. A regular user might not need all that power and be happy with a more affordable phone. Each to their own I suppose. Im currently using the Poco F4 Gt and for some reason I can't put it down, I like it that much. After reviewing phones, they mostly go back In their original boxes, but the POCO stayed with me.

[@jfyne03]

ZTE customer support is practically non-existent. If something goes wrong you'll need to send your device abroad for repair and will have to pay the shipment fees. If the damage is not within the warranty parameters, they'll charge you more than you paid originally for the phone. And to add insult to injury, if the situation in the Pacific gets worse you can kiss goodbye to any insurance or warranty on Chinese products. So not a clever buy.
