Aside from the camera upgrades, it doesn't seem as though there is significantly noticeable difference in everyday performance, nor can you see a major difference in S-Pen performance (as stated in the video). If I upgrade, I'd have to give up my magnificent Note 20 Ultra and STILL have to pay about $1k (after taxes) for the 1 terabyte version.

There's absolutely no reason to ditch my Note20 Ultra for this. Hopefully, Samsung continues making these S Ultra devices (or something comparable in form & function to my Note20 Ultra) in 2024, since that's when I think my Note20 Ultra would stop getting security patches, and I'm not comfortable using a device that no longer gets security patches.

[@wendell2809]

Thanks for the comparison video, im still on my Note 20 Ultra and personally feel that it's not worth upgrading to the S22 Ultra. Only noticeable differences is in the Camera section where obviously the S22 Ultra outperforms it. Im sticking to my Note 20 Ultra until it does not receive updates no more.

[@SpartanGIS2]

I was also debating it at first as well. But what really sold me was the refresh rate screen. I always hated I could only have 60hz refresh at UHD Resolution on the note 20 Ultra. And lowering the resolution was quite noticeable when watching 4k content. Considering the massive credit Samsung is giving, $200+ store credit & more with the code above, almost full trade in credit of $800 for the note 20 ultra and some other pre-order give aways. It was a no brainer upgrade for me. I think in total I had over $1500 credit and discounts applied at checkout with a Tab 8 Ultra in my cart as well. So I was content with the pre-order. Even though it's not a massive upgrade over the note 20 ultra, Pre-order discounts and trade in credit seriously made the upgrade worth it.

You talked about almost everything except for the RAM differences, which plays a big role in overall performance in such premium devices. The fact that Note 20 ultra has 12 GB of RAM without any exception, but on the new Samsung, you only get the 12 GB of RAM if you go with the most expensive version of that. I am a big fan of Samsung smartphone myself, and I would never ever upgrade from my note 20 ultra to the galaxy series unless Samsung comes up with something better in the future.

@Kandyce Macchi You might not need that much extra RAM, though. I mentioned the difference in my comment, but at the same time, I know the fact that not everyone needs to have more than 6 GB of RAM. Do you use your phone with several apps open at a time like multitasking?

Is this the exynos/eu version? I heard the US doesn't get factory Installed screen protectors (which is really dumb, the Samsung screen protector that came with my note 10+ was phenomenal and I appreciated it so much). This s22 ultra seems to have a screen protector 2:22. But I thought saf had US version. Anyway exynos also is still running pre release software. Early on people said SD dks better in benchmarks. Then exynos did a lot better. And now exynos 2200 barely does better and in some cases worse than exynos 2100 and gets destroyed by SD 8 gen 1. It's getting confusing. All I want is a good phone, with flagship performance /nhardware and PARITY between exy / SD. I don't need the exy to be better but at least for ONCE have parity. Exynos is always worse and for a moment there it looked like it was better this gen. And now it might actually be the biggest difference in exynos / SD history in favour of SD

[@PerformanceRaven]

@@godofchaoskhorne5043 I agree, there are so many factors to take into consideration. So far the only tests we are seeing is in the European market, which gets the Exynos version.

What I bought my S20 Ultra for was the power (e.g., I am able to open and use Excel and among other things, run a computationally intensive program that generates Mandelbrot zoom movies) and fairly impressive photography. The shape was nice, but I heard that the screen could crack easily, I couldn't do macro shots anymore, 30x was poor quality, and I was mostly not happy with night shots, although dusk could be really nice. Photography looks greatly improved in this beast, speed has improved, I won't have a. SD slot but I will have 512 GB of storage and I still get my 12 GB of RAM plus a chip that will blow last year's away. Then I get a stylus with which I am able to remotely control the camera, avoid bumping the camera just as I am taking a shot. The stylus increases the accuracy of touching the screen and opening the apps I want. With it I can substitute my cursive for the swypos that substitute "look over the rats" for "loop over the ears" when describing earbuds, etc. It seems to be a win virtually across the board. But if for some reason I was allergic to using the stylus I would simply ignore it. To be honest though I have wanted that feature for a while.

It's think it's more beneficial for Samsung to move in this direction. Instead of making another line where a majority will buy the galaxy over the note, it's best to just to combine it in their galaxy series. Whether you want the s pen or not wouldn't matter it's always good to know that it's there if you should ever need it.

[@BoricuaBoy88]

Agreed. Although I don't get the naming convention. They could have combined it to something like S22 Note. If the S22 Ultra had microSD, MST, and a charger in the box (Also a headphone jack and IR blaster, but that's never gonna happen), it would actually be the perfect Note device. Hoping we get this stuff back next year, but that hinges on people NOT buying this year. Companies only language is money. Samsung is no exception.

Thanks for the in-depth review. It's truly unfortunate that Samsung didn't give the S22 Ultra expandable storage. I'm at well over 512 GB on my Note 10 Plus - which is easy to do is you take a lot of photos and videos. So I'll be looking at the 1 TB version of the S22 Ultra. The key but of information I'm missing is whether I would lose WiFi Calling (and less importantly, visual voicemail) going with the 1TB since it's only available unlocked. When I got an unlocked Note 8, I wasn't able to use WiFi Calling, which is a very important feature for me. This is why I upgraded to a carrier locked Note 10 Plus....

In the bad old days, I would simply live without text or phone calls while in these locations, only to be hit with a bunch of voicemail messages and texts once I got back into cellular coverage. With the invention of WiFi Calling, my carrier will reroute phone calls from cellular broadcast to encrypted internet protocol. Yay! I can make and receive phone calls even in the bowels of a metal and concrete structure! As long as there's good WiFi coverage.

[@EdFromTheBlock]

The "Note" line evolved to be more than just everything in the kitchen sink. It was productivity and user interface for those who wanted exactly that. Taking feature after feature away (3.5mm & SD card reader) and trying to be Apple, is a poor business strategy. Paying over 1k for a phone and all you get is the phone with less features and no charger? One type c-c wire that most people don't even have a charging brick for? As well, isn't there a liability if someone uses a cheap or bad charging brick and it in turn damages the device? I just don't get it. I was reluctant to buy the N20U but it looks like it'll be my last Samsung purchase- for a while, if not indefinite. Coming from a guy who's exclusively purchased Samsung's since the S3, that's just crappy. Cheers on the good comparison Saf, it's not your fault the new devices are less value.

With that said the absence of expandable memory is a huge deal for me especially being that I'm out of storage with 512gb note 20 with a 238GB SD card and both are nearly full. I'm terrible at deleting things. So is it worth paying off the note 20 to get the 22 ultra just for a different color and better latency on a pen I only use from time to time. Sacrificing on storage??? I'm leaning no right now unfortunately. I know I will need to upgrade and will probably upgrade to the 22 ultra and will lose out on the pre-order deals. I would love to have the newer camera with better zoom,and the better low light, better stabilization on videos, but that lack of storage is killing me! I should learn to better clear up and back up my stuff. Between my Canon, my drone, and me GoPro in addition to the massive amounts of photos I take with my phone for work, backpacking and hiking, that storage is a big deal and had no idea till I saw this video.

So the glitch was to add the tablet to cart first with trade in and skid ad ons, then add a phone to cart and skip add ons. The result was a trade in discount for both devices, 25% off the tablet, minus 400 for trade in and minus 250 credit towards it and any member discount like military.

Plus, this has less ram than my s21 ultra. No thanks. I'm keeping mine until it stop receiving software updates.

As someone on a slightly cracked Note 10 with a missing S Pen, yeah: that S22 Ultra looking real nice

07:05 your jacket looks faded on S22 though.. The LEFT pic is better,I see the full grain leather car seat better 🤣 Keeping my Note 20 Ultra.
