Still have my note 9 as well. But I think it is time to bite the bullet as I have replaced and cracked my screen. Replaced the wobbling charging port and it started to woble again. Also, the battery upgrade would be nice cause I drive with maps a lot and forget to charge it. But it will suck cause my truck does not have Bluetooth :( but maybe ill just replace the screen again and keep the legend alive for another year!)

I assume the fast update policy mostly applies to their phone lineup and, in particular, their flagships. I have a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite which, granted, is almost two years old [since official release in May 2020] and the Lite moniker means it wouldn't get the same love as its non-Lite peers, but I'm still waiting for an update to One UI 4.X from 3.1 while the Android 13 developer preview is out and its stable version will be released in a few months. Also I don't agree with the suggestion that we as consumers should "take it easy" on Samsung just because Samsung produces a wide variety of phones and tablets and that it theoretically means more work to get the timely software updates done across all devices. Now don't get me wrong. There's so much I appreciate about Samsung products and especially the One UI and how far they've come in terms of both aesthetics and performance of the OS and how Samsung phones have always had features years ahead of competition. But honestly, the update policy still has some way to go before being seen as Pixel-level.

Hey Michael, 3 things. 1) This review should honestly be called “Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: The Movie”. As per usual, the script, cinematography, explanation, presentation, your voice and microphone quality (as well as the pace and intonations that characterize your speech) were all top notch. Cinema grade, might I say. This was a whole story. 2) I see you still play Smash Hit. I first became aware of that game from your OnePlus 2 review for Pocketnow back in 2015; that video is literally what caused me to download that game. 3) Keep up the great work. I’ve subscribed and unsubscribed to and from a number of tech channels over the years, but I make sure I’m always subscribed to yours. It was a huge hit in the mobile review sector when you took a break from reviewing a few years back 😅

Thank you, Mr. Mobile. You're the ONLY reviewer I've seen so far that didn't make the stupid "Note name mistake" as a joke. Instead, you just told it as it is. It's a Note in all but the name. Not just that, you STRONGLY said it while others seemed to skip around it. You also pointed out things you missed as an actual Note user which I genuinely think only as a long term full feature user could understand. Even though I have already ordered my unit (an online exclusive colour with the matching S Pen of course), this sir, is the review I've been waiting for.

[@rhaibi12]

On day 3 with the phone now and really loving having my "Note" back. The battery life has definitely been less than stellar but I'm hoping it improves with time...most Samsung phones do.

[@propersod2390]

Battery life will always get better after a few days of owning a new phone. It's how it was with my s21 ultra as well

[@NM_rocker]

My first impression is the same as yours, the phone is awesome so far but the battery life not so much. I also hope given an update plus some time to settle down after initial setup will result in better battery life.

[@alphaspartan]

@@NM_rocker gotta agree, initial battery life is really bad. Has yours improved Mark?

[@alphaspartan]

@@NM_rocker I finally went in and manually added a bunch of apps into deep sleep so that I could eek out some additional battery life. I was getting impatient waiting for the OS to do it. 😅 Unless I have a faulty battery, this s Spen seems to drain a lot of battery compared to the S21U.

I remember when phones of this class were less then 1k so it's still mind boggling to remember how much these are.

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

The lack of a MicroSD card slot and of course the price is the thing that's putting me off getting this (or the S22 Plus). I keep my phones for years (I'm currently rocking a S8), so I keep filling them with data for that entire time, to the point that in the last year I got a new MicroSD card for it because the previous 128GB one wasn't cutting it anymore. Still tempted mind, but I'm a lot less eager since I found out about the lack of MicroSD. Might consider the Fold as well, considering the price.

[@marcheeto4978]

I think the best part of this review was that it came out literally as I was unboxing my own 22 ultra. Great video as always though!

[@canad-ian]

I always enjoy getting your take on things and look forward to your thoughts on DeX. I have Z Fold 3 and not looking back any time soon. It just does everything I need it to and doesn't feel cramped like a normal phone. The S22U, on the other hand, looks like the next upgrade for possibly my wife as she is a HUGE shutter bug for kids, animals, etc. so that might be right up her alley. That or the S21U.

[@sushimshah2896]

Guess you didn't watch the review carefully, this camera isn't suited for fast moving subjects-(kids, animals, the like)-you just mentioned. The Xperias are much better in that regard. The higher megapickel count along with the large sensor do have their drawbacks too (including readout speed/shutter lag, shallow depth of focus which can be a problem in certain situations), but all that aside it's a great camera system, just make sure she can handle such a huge brick (I personally can't)!

@@propersod2390 If only the Pixel 6 Pro were available in more countries, there's currently only around 10 countries that have the Pixel 6/Pros and even then, some of these regions only carry the 128GB Variant. Importing the phone is not really an option as there will be RMA issues and stuff. But gotta agree, the Sony Xperia's ain't that great after viewing sample videos on youtube. The S22 series will still be the current widely adopted phones globally because of availability issues of the other devices.

[@sushimshah2896]

@@propersod2390 I don't know why you find it surprising, Sony has been improving, sure it may not be on par in terms of the Auto output, but it isn't a mainstream device for insta-lovers anyway. And I never said that the Xperias have better cameras than the Note, ahem S22U in every situation, I responded for a very specific use-case of the original commenter. And no amount of crazy HDR will save your photo if the subject is out of focus (clearly the animals weren't shot in low-light, so it shouldn't have been blurry according to you, yet they were)! And when it comes to the Pixel (6/Pro specifically), I certainly wouldn't recommend those bug-ridden & generally worse QC phones to anyone I know, not to mention that they are just as limited as the Xperias in terms of availability.

It goes back on wireless charging at 9-10p & it's never below 50% besides 1 time it was at 45% battery life in late Sept 2023 because I was watching movies while fishing on a slow day. Never had an issue out in 100°F while fishing here in SE Texas..It's a Powerhouse! I also just looked up resale on Amazon & seen $800-$1000 for the S22 Ultra, so Samsung is retaining its value 🤟

Great review! The portrait shots are amazing! 1:07 the removal of the headphone jack from smartphones is not an issue. You can easily hook up wired headphones with USB to 3.5MM Audio Adapter with 32bit/384khz Hi-Rez Output build in independent DAC chip. They are cheap and remain secure. I use it for my S22 Ultra and have no complaints. But the micro SD card slot is bit of an issue, although transferring files is easy.

I loved my z fold 2. A lot actually, however the phone is too fragile for me. I worked in an industrial setting and have a small child. I had the most durable case it still was too risky. The phone broke after only 7 months for a damaged hinge the 1st time. It was only a matter of time for another mishap. I am glad I was part of the initial experience. I know what it has to offer. In a few generations I'll be ready to fold again. In the meantime a power phone like this will do.

Great Review. Personally, I think turning down artificial sharpness has actually made the image looked better in S22 ultra. I felt S21 ultra sharpness was a bit overdone. In fact, all new phones go overkill when it comes to sharpness. The natural sharpness you get from optics is just better.

[@ReinoldFZ]

Very precise! Maybe is a One UI 4 thing, as my Samsung S20 FE after the update seemed less sharp but then I feel they look less "overprocessed" smartphone way and more natural as in a bigger camera way.

I find s22ultra images too sharp. There are often even sharpening halos in pictures.

[@combatplayer]

on the headphones topic, i dont use headphones on the go very often, so wireless is awful to me. i charge them when ive used them, then if i randomly need them theyve been sitting so long theyre nearly dead, ruining the battery and stuff. plus it feels like a waste of money to spend 100 bucks on a set of earphones i only use rarely. i really would like the headphone jack back.

[@Dex99SS]

Not giving us an SD slot is absolute BS.... no excuse whatsoever. Doesn't matter what's inside, SDs have specific uses that cannot be sidestepped. As such, I'll keep on keeping on with the Note 20 ultra. Worth mentioning too... my cameras are better tbh, especially with the laser focus... my cpu/gpu hangs on just as well... my battery is similar... and uhhh, this isn't a big enough increase in anything to justify getting it if you already have a 20. Maybe the 23 will have an SD card slot, and be marginally better yet. I do rely on the Note though... the spen takes notes, measurements, draws rough mock ups, makes store lists, materials and such, serial numbers, model numbers, so much more... it's constant use. Where most in my position would use paper and pen all day long, I use the phone. But I mean, the screen, resolution, dpi, software, versions of said software, all of it, even ram (the 20u is where the top tier 22 is)... my 20 ultra is IDENTICAL, if not better.

I mean to be honest at 1:23 there is so much space on the right side of the phone, they really could have fit the headphone jack.

[@paulgodson798]

Your videos are so beautiful. They are really enjoyable to watch.

[@TheMrMobile]

Thank you!

12:35 Don't be afraid to use the qhd+ resolution. It's sharper and doesn't use more battery than fhd.

[@AmusingMoments]

Loved this review! As someone who's is upgrading from the 2018 Samsung Note 9, I can't wait to get my until as I feel I'm finally upgrading to a phone that has everything I want/need. Regardless whether the photos are slightly softer than the S21 Ultra they are bound to be way better than what I'm currently using. And even though I'm losing the headphone jack and SD card slot what I'm gaining is so much more and plan to use this phone for just as long as I did my Note 9. The only sad part of this review is I can't believe I missed your Ingress stream! So saddening!

[@TheMrMobile]

Ha- I'll do another, don't worry!

[@yournamehere23435]

8/128 as base storage is disappointing for the alleged best non-foldable phone Samsung can make. 2019's Note10+ did 12/256 as base PLUS the expandable storage. The phone is gorgeous but Samsung looks like they are unwilling to make a proper phone with everything they can put on

[@JDelta87]

Your camera review segment has peaked my interest in this phone’s capabilities more so than other reviews I’ve seen so far. Not taking away from any other reviewers, yours just resonated more with me.

They all should bring back the Micro Sd card in all phones

[@calebkimm325]

A powerful consummate review. Thank you Mr. Mobile

[@user-fx7tc9uj8y]

Amazing and always witty review, it's like we are actually hanging out with you! I have a XS Max (brand new insurance replacement) and I was going to upgrade to the S22 Ultra, but honestly after this review I am not convinced this "shiny new tech" is actually an upgrade. Great review, especially because it keeps the phone makers honest by pointing out the shortcomings and the features that are the same as last year's $1000+ device.

[@Johnnygga]

You’re 100% correct and you are sane and can see through the ‘shiny new tech’. To be fair, the XS Max **is** an absolute beast, especially when it launched in 2018. The A12 chip was almost too powerful at the time-only NOW does the S22 Ultra’s Snapdragon chip just barely get a few points higher in benchmarks in CPU only. We’re talking barely. The $1,099 price was incredibly worth it in 2018 especially with that A12 because it’s paying off with that raw power to run iOS 15 without breaking a sweat in 2022. And it’ll most likely do the same for iOS 16. I also got a brand new replacement in 2021 lol, it feels so brand new. Are you using it without a case or with a case?

[@OneContinuum]

@@Johnnygga While I agree the A12 is still plenty powerful, saying it has _just_ now been beaten is a bit on overstatement. The Snapdragon 865 (2019) had better benchmark results than the A12. Apple's silicon is definitely ahead of the competition but everything ages

[@Yakuza55official]

Hopefully, in a few iterations they bring back extendable storage. That's the big deciding factor for me when upgrade in a few more years. ,

I think that ship has long saled with Samsung.... and wont come back. They try too hard to be apple

There will be other options elsewhere if that turns out to be the case.

Sir, i love your work. Thanks for the great review. My preorder arrived on 2/22 instead of 2/25. I'm loving my Note 22 ultra.

[@NirmalDevasurendra]

A concise and perfect review by Mr. Fisher as always, for the underwhelming flagship from Samsung. The phones they keep pumping out each generation lack any character and charm. Where is the amazement of the curved edge S7, the foldable screens of the flip and fold, to the "meh" candy bar S22 ultra, max, plus, yadda yadda....I'm still gonna hold on to my Galaxy S10 for this year of Samsung releases....

[@d.carter3850]

Still the best narrator in the game, with actually useful review info in your videos. It's more than just eye candy, it's quality content. Keep up the great work!

[@stevanb.2590]

I swear, each and every year I hope for 2 things from Samsung flagships. Better video and non - blurry photos of moving subjects, but no...It looks like it isn't a big problem for Samsung. I don't care about megapixels and zooms, messy photos of anything that's moving is just big NO on phone of this price (and name)

[@sushimshah2896]

Well the higher megapickel count is to blame here, not much they can do. You are better off with an Xperia if you shoot moving subjects a lot.

[@stevanb.2590]

@@sushimshah2896 I don't think it has to do with megapixels. Since S7 Edge, my first Samsung phone, there has been an issue with moving subjects. I think their camera software needs some improvements, especially with hardware this powerful.

I like the zoom on my s21 ultra while I had it. I found the 6 pro camera to be more consistent and especially with skin tones. Thought it was marketing first lol. That was the only advantage was the 100 time zoom. I never take photos that far. Not even on my mirror less camera
