Switched to the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - My Experience!

[@KarlConrad]

Now that I've used the S22 Ultra for longer, the design has grown on me. I think Samsung did a lot right here. There are a few nit picky things that I'd like to see improved, but it's def one of the best phones you can get right now.

[@footballtalk4857]

So the reason why they can't put the cameras like the pixel is because all the cameras are big, plus the heat management in the device uses more than just traditional heating in phones like the Pixel 6 and others.

[@RedIzFatal415]

I will be investing in this phone for sure!

[@KarlConrad]

@Art Studio by ADI I'm totally aware! unfortunately every tech KZbin has the same problem and there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it at the moment

[@eclectic_gamer]

I like the new design much cleaner and no unsightly camera bump, I think the phantom black looks stylish and understated. I've had a note before the spen is so much more accurate especially when doing things like selecting text and the ability to just remove it and start taking notes is more intuitive and much quicker, one you use it you understand how good it is.

iPhone 13 pro max design is premium and nice but once you set it next to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, it makes it look off.. idk if it’s outdated or just a psychological thing, but as we all know the Galaxy is always ahead in innovation. The hole punch is great, the screen all of it. This new Galaxy is so nice - mind you, I’m an iPhone 13 pro max user now so it isn’t a biased thought. I grew up on galaxies also so , id definitely get this thing but I’m just so engrained into my apple ecosystem with my car, HomePod, AirPods, two macs, iPad, the iPhone, Apple TV. I feel like I’d create friction if I just blew it up and got a Galaxy. But gosh I want this new phone lol

One thing I will say that the iPhone 13 Pro Max just does well in is the freaking battery life. I've always been a Galaxy user since the start and let me tell you that the battery life improvements that Apple has made throughout the years is nothing short of pure excellence.

I have a Phantom White/512GB version pre-ordered. I’m finally walking away from an iPhone for a lot of reasons, the main one being they just take too long to make their phones any type of interesting. Samsung nailed the S22 in my opinion and I can’t wait to learn the Android OS. Based on the videos I’ve seen, there’s a lot more options and the software allows the user to tailor the phone a lot more to them than Apple ever will. Next Friday needs to hurry up!

I have my note 9 X 2, one for me and my wife. Anyways, I skipped all the previous models and went straight to the Note20 Ultra, 2 years ago I love my note but after years I think it was time to let it go, cool thing about Samsung is that the offer a very nice trade in value, I got my S22 Ultra 256GB for just $350.00. They gave me 800 dollars for my Note20 Ultra, plus 250 for something else, and 100 bucks for some other credit. So, I got their newest watch their newest Galaxy buds live for $ 599.99, honestly, that's a heck of a deal. I upgraded my camera, my galaxy buds and watch for a fraction of the cost. I don"t think Apple or anybody else offers such a good trade-in value, if at all and if I don't like I have the chance to return it, not questions asked or keep it and in December when they roll their new one, I just trade the S22 which they just shipped to me by the way, I forgot to mention that, for my Note9 they were only giving me 250 bucks. Lol.

[@kizzik]

Great review. Btw I've never dared used any phone without a case. So the rocking issue is moot for me. Had my current Note 10+ replaced 3x with T-mobile's 360⁰ insurance. Even with a case it doesn't survive hard falls when riding eMTB on rough terrains. Ordered on Samsung site an awesome, low profile clear case with Samsung logo kickstand. Can't wait to get my pre-ordered Phantom Black 512 GB! 🤗

It's exorbitantly expensive for my budget. Anyways, I am not rich either. The extras from Samsung were making me consider buying one outright, alas, ultimately I did not.

Not sure why ppl don't like the looks of the new camera layout. I think it looks pretty dang clean. Love that the bulgingcamera bump is gone. I think if Samsung is trying to be slick, they may secretly try to merge the fold lineup into a "Note" that folds, but this is definitely a Note.

[@forthewindell]

Yeah honestly I would rather have "un-finished" compared to distracting like the massive bump on the previous ones. Personally I think the massive camera bumps were the opposite of "clean" so I'll definitely take a more "unfinished" design if it looks clean, which I think it does.

[@DmanLucky_98]

Same I prefer the S22 camera layout more than the S21, bulky bump It looks a lot cleaner instead of an "unfinished" look of the S21. Specs wise S22 same as S21, but pen seals the deal for me.

[@enigmaticcruz2483]

I don't mind the new camera layout. It's identical to the S21U minus the bump but S21U's camera bump implementation was absolutely perfect if you carry it naked. I can say that with the S22U's camera layout, it won't rock when it's laid flat on a hard surface. My S21U will be going to my wife once Samsung ships my S22U and I can't wait.

[@Garret141076]

I'm a android user who's using a iPhone 13 Pro for about 4 months now and it's not for me. I like the squared design andcstainless steel but the display isn't as good as Samsungs display and because of the notch and bezels it looks outdated. And in my opinion is the camera always better than let's say S21 Ultra. Skintones are a bit orange, shadows are too dark and white balance is mostly wrong in low light pictures. Video on the other hand is pretty good. Very smooth especially 4k60. The iPhone is very fast and smooth which I really like, battery life is also very great. But iOS looks a bit outdated to me and it's the same every year. It can't keep apps running in the background which is annoying when up or downloading. I can write a list of limitations I came across but I won't bother you with it. Offcourse it has some great features which work very well like Airplay or faceID but in the end its a bit limited for me as a productivity device. I don't have any other Apple devices so those advantages don't count for me.

I've had my Ultra for just over a month now and love it. While we've all accepted (I think) that Samsung did a little cost saving by not including a charger in the box, my view is they went a step too far by eliminating the screen protector. The S22 is to my knowledge, the first Samsung flagship phone to ship without a simple plastic screen protector. While the phone is wrapped in Gorilla Glass Victus, this WILL NOT protect it from scratches. I'd strongly recommend either a tempered glass screen protector or at the very least a plastic protector to keep those scratches from your screen.

Dust around the camera lenses is a problem I ALWAYS have. I have always chosen the black phone - it was also hard to use a clear case (my preference) because of specks of dust. I've sold my iPhone 13 Pro Max and am going back to Samsung with the S22 Ultra - I decided to finally change it up with a white phone and I'm so excited! Personally I prefer the shape/size, I have an unhealthy dependance on Google Assistant, and I message everyone on FB Messenger, anyway. iPhone is so smooth and refined. But I find it boring and prefer to customize my phone to the experience I want. Samsung kicked us in the balls by removing MicroSD storage in my opinion, but with cloud storage services being better than ever and phones with so much internal storage available, I'm not that disappointed. (Really though, when did Siri get this bad???). I primarily use my phone to sit on the treadmill and play movies, the Galaxy phones have always taken the gold in that regard. I could really do without the curved edges of some Galaxy phones, but that is a minor annoyance I guess.

Good review, especially noted too the 'slight irritation' of using the S-pen w/ the S22 Ultra on a flat surface given that wobble. Depending on an applied case you use , that could be minimized/negated though if the case lip around the camera prevents the wobble.

If you want the 12GB RAM/1TB Memory, you have to order exclusively through Samsung. That & that they have 3 exclusive colors of the phone you can only get through them. I pre-ordered the Phantom Black 12GB/512GB that's coming next week. But I went through my carrier though for my long awaited upgrade.

First time I've ever gone directly to order from Samsung for a brand new flagship phone and I couldn't be more excited - I went for the 256GB Exclusive Red. Cannot wait for it to arrive, and I have never experienced a Samsung Note phone - so this S22 Ultra will be all kinds of new and exciting for me!

For years I've been wanting this from Samsung and I think their S series is really missing this final touch. I really think that Samsung needs to switch to a more mature looking UI. Their amazing screen quality would go perfect with it. When you look at samsungs UI and apps, it's kind of dull. To me, It just feels modern and old at the same time, basically. Samsung icons are also a bit dull and just look a bit childish. In other words, their UI designs just barely match their modern-style phones. I still really like the phones tho

Best phone of the year depends on what one considers in the phone. The last time I used a Note was the Note 5 and I ended up never using the pen. On the camera side the entire S22 series have over exposure problems and the photos appear greenish under clear lighting. The night mode is not near the best. And Samsung will not fix any of those problems with early updates. It will take between 6 to 9 months for you to get some results from their numerous updates. That's why they don't release updates in the first two weeks return perio

I would just make the phone thicker so it lays flat, and make the battery bigger.. I hate camera bumps. The only benefit I guess is if you're gonna put it in a case, having a camera bump makes the total package with case thinner.

[@kenduxbury7122]

Regarding the battery life: I've noticed the last two days, my S22 Ultra has had more and more left at the end of the day, and I have Quad display enabled. The trick seems to have been selecting the adaptive battery setting, and keeping my brightness to ~75%. Last night I had 28% battery, and I watch a lot of KZbin vids for school, some Twitter, note taking for school (with S Pen) and even played a game for half an hour. I also have the battery limited to 85%. Anyway, maybe that will help some users. I REALLY like the phone so far.

Correction, you can have a screen protector on it, but I have not been able to find one that is Tempered Glass that will work with a case OR have the sticky adhesive being the whole screen and not just the edges, as far back when Samsung Galaxy S8+ came out, but there are ones that will work that are not rubber like but similar, and they work great provided you get a proper case for it!

I got a great deal from Verizon. I bought the 512 GB version phone from them and my unlimited plan dropped 20 dollars a month making this cost around 19 dollars a month more than I was paying for 36 months which is under $700. I bought a 45 watt charger, a case that projects out from the camera lenses and the screen, and a C to 3.5mm adaptor for my headphones, each about 15 to 17 dollars from Amazon and they work great. You can get much louder sound by switching to Atmos, in the phone. I use Sony MDR V6 headphones. I don't switch phones every 4 years. I've been using two Galaxy note 3s for many years (only paid $124 for them at Walmart new) but they were getting long in the tooth so I needed a new phone. One day I might switch the other one out for an even better one as a backup. The charger works very quickly. I'm completely satisfied with this phone having used it for a couple of weeks. I use the edge borders so that I don't have to see the dot. I spend most of my life on KZbin working to become the world's greatest troll and learning new things every day. Excellent phone, If I had to do it again it's a no brainer.

[@published1789]

I have been holding off for so long to make the big switch to this phone but just decided not to. I'd have to get the phone with the Exynos chipset as sold in the UK/Europe and the stories over here about that are that it is a very compromised experience. I am not spending that kind of money and keeping my fingers crossed that Samsung will get around to improving it as far as it can be improved if it can be improved ... later.

I found the perfect screen protector for curved screens. It's a glass screen protector with liquid glue and uv light. You apply the liquid glue on the screen, then put the glass on and harden the glue with the uv light. You can place it perfectly until you harden it and it gets in the perfect position itself as the glass is also curved! When it's done properly the result is amazing! Best I've ever had and seen!
