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

[@r0conscious]

Good point

[@darknightmike10yearsago]

You should at least be able to feel the vibration, but not hear it too loudly.

[@enzog1078]

No, that’s what silent is for.

[@younotlying]

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

[@Nexus9118]

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.

[@charackthe]

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.

[@slashkird711]

Not the same though... and that sound is very irritating and cannot be adjusted... to lower it

[@ntst22]

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.

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.

[@dusan600]

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

[@andyH_England]

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.

[@San4311]

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.

[@TLEE1977]

@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.

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

[@GSPMelife]

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.

[@Pirosbor]

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).

[@NowYouSee.]

How do you hover over the sentence? I've only been able to translate single words at a time which makes it useless

[@R2X2Z]

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.

[@Bronzebk]

Here here. Love that pen. Couldn't agree more.

[@yousef.al-assaf]

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.

[@das_it_mane]

Yeah honestly. If you're gonna review the S22 Ultra and not gaf about the S-Pen what are you been doing lol

[@INTERNETDWARF]

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?

[@AdiiS]

a "pen" makes sense for a resistive touchscreen but makes no F sense for capacitive ones

[@VTGGT]

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.

[@nicoledelrosario5789]

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.

[@sophisticatedraccoon]

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.

[@marquis51]

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.

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.

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.

I own a regular S9 and i would love to see a comparison between the S9 and the next gen phones, next year. Im probably not gonna change my phone this year, cause it still works really really well, but im beginning to see where the new ones are better at, so maybe next year ill get a new one.

[@ohsocooll12342]

I really regret trading my s9 for the s20fe. the s9 was just so good, sd card and headphone jack too. I lost the original earphones and I still regret that. I think it’s best to skip this year’s s series, and if you absolutely need a phone, get a mid ranger.

[@amanzholyermukhanov9219]

I've got the same dilemma and the same phone. I've been considering to replace my S9+ with the newer model or switch to iphone even. The main drawback with S9+ is the avaliable memory space, tho it has a SD card slot, I use it for seconds sim card, so the memory capacity now is the main factor for me. Even 128 gigs would be a big leap for me.

Hey, I'm also a S9＋ owner. However, I'm planning to get one this year. My phone still works perfectly fine. I enjoy my S9＋ a lot but the only problem is the camera.

I just bought this and im switching from my note 9 how did you like it

[@scottd9448]

@@HomnixHD it grew on me. It's a good phone. Too many menus though.

[@HomnixHD]

@@scottd9448 bett and the menus would be on any current Samsung sadly as thats tied down to the software updates and they could easily fix or change that but i doubt it

[@kayohh812]

Having owned s21 ultra exynos and first time getting a snapdragon version for my market, i just had to buy it, especially since i realised the picture taken from my pixel 3 is way³ more color accurate and nicer looking compared to my s21, i hope s22 dont dissapoint.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Wait, Snapdragon in new markets?

[@CAC8K]

So the pixel camera is better than the s22 ultra?

[@Muhammad-Jacobs699]

The reason Samsung mentioned for dropping the Ram was because of a new software feature "Ram+" that let's you manually convert your internal storage into ram (up to 8 GB). I wanted you to at least mention it, because I'd like to know if this is actually valid or just a gimmick.

[@marculetzc1366]

it is valid but its not enough

[@pawelpow]

Virtual memory doesn’t count as RAM.

[@nazmulhuda3262.]

It's good but in a bad way. Not the best like the Real ram!

[@LB-yx4yw]

Using the storage is extremely slow... So it works, but nah.. My guess is they are pulling a apple.

[@darkphoxgaming]

My S21 Ultra also has this feature so I sort of doubt it's that

[@1forthefacts254]

Definitely an upgrade in experience from the Pixel. I will leave the Pixel base completely to Samsung over this. I like the integrations of the Note into a “phone” display rather than a tablet.

[@SPREET5454]

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.

[@TheBipolarx]

Definitely sticking with the S21 Ultra at least until next year. I could upgrade, but like you said, S21 Ultra is pretty much the same phone minus the S Pen and looks better.

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)

[@scott0882]

I ditched Apple & switched over to the S22 Ultra 5 days ago, & let me just say - this phone is a beast! It's something different & I enjoy it over the "new" iPhones that have gotten released every year. Galaxy for the W!

[@toohottohandle0_0]

My mom wants my S21, so I was considering switching to an iPhone 14 since I also have a MacBook and an iPad. Now I'm hesitating because I just realized I could upgrade to a S22 Ultra for the same price. Do you mind sharing the main reasons why you prefer the Samsung?

[@bmstyle]

I tried to switch and quickly ran back to iPhone.

[@scott0882]

I also was part of the Apple ecosystem with my iPad & MacBook. I had switched to Galaxy for a few days a while back then quickly went back to iPhone because it didn't feel right. (I wasn't used to it). Then year after year, Apple releases these "new" phones which feel like the same exact thing, the only difference is the aesthetics of the phone but even at that, Apple is still slacking! Seems like they are getting lazy. I was tired of being an iPhone user just for the branding... Now on my Galaxy, I feel more free to use my phone ANYWAY I want. I can customize it to my liking while with iPhone, it just didn't feel right anymore

[@scott0882]

I prefer my S22 Ultra more over my 13 Pro Max because the Galaxy feels more fun to use. As where iPhone, it is just the same thing every single day! That "new phone feeling" holds its value with Galaxy as I am still discovering new features every day, as with iPhone, that feeling doesn't even make it past the unboxing as everyone knows what to expect with iPhone & iOS every year...

[@bmstyle]

@@scott0882 yeah because it offers exactly what I need. You have the new car smell syndrome basically. To each their own. If you are enjoying the s22 more then hey. Good for you.

[@FattusCat]

Got my S22 Ultra on Monday having had a Note 20 Ultra for the last 18 months. All in all, very similar form factor so not a great change but there are certain things that are so much better. The main thing i have been blown away with is the improvement of the Sonic fingerprint sensor. Its so much better than the first Gen that's on the Note 20. And that makes a big difference day to day. It doesn't have a factory fitted screen protector like my note did but they are going to be available to buy from Samsung imminently. Ill be getting one as this was a bit of a life saver on my previous phone. Screen and Battery are great but ive taken the res down to 1080 again. Not sure 1440 is really necessary on a phone and certainly the battery life is always more valuable. But great to see it can now do 1440p 120hz There are a couple of niggles i am having though. 1, loading web pages causes the screen to go black. Ironically when i click the Samsung logo at the top of their website, it does this too. very odd. Secondly, the scrolling doesn't seem as smooth. Like its spending more time thinking about the content than just scrolling. When I'm scrolling through contacts or photos its great, but anything with a bit of web content and its struggling more than my note 20 did under the same circumstances (Wifi etc.). I'm hoping both these things will be ironed out with subsequent updates as i appreciate i have my hands on it very early. I am yet to test the camera capabilities fully but with a wedding coming up this weekend, im sure ill have a play.
