WORTHY UPGRADE? Galaxy S24 Ultra vs S22 Ultra

[@EL_bball]

The thing is we don't upgrade our laptops and TVs for years. However with phones so many upgrades after 2 years. It's a scam.. Stick to the s22 ultra if you have it and save money. It's essentially a great computer that calls people.

[@Hsk736h]

True. The s22 should last a good 5+ years before needing to upgrade

I have both phones, as I got my S24U two weeks ago. Didn't do a trade-in. Have always had decent battery with my S22U (SD variant). The S24U battery is better. It's also smoother. But in high performance mode, the S22U will feel closer to s24U in smoothness. For the power user, raw performance stuff that I do on my phone: using Dex on 5G while sharing Hotspot. This would cause the s22U to get too hot and slow down and even freeze and restart. Doing this on the S24U, it doesn't heat up at all. This was my main reason for upgrading. For everything else, the S22U is a great phone.

No it doesn't heat up while using hotspot you're wrong

[@Marlon_J]

@ryan-de5wl Read what I said: hotspot, Dex and 5G together. I needed to use it under that condition for a while for work, and it would overheat and restart. I had to run out and get the S24 Ultra, as I needed to work. The s24 Ultra didn't overheat under those conditions.

[@the__skyrider275]

I had an S22 Ultra for two years and recently switched to an S24 Ultra. I can tell you that when it comes to battery life, the S24 Ultra far outperforms the S22. I used to have to carry my charger around with me because it was impossible to get through a day without having to charge my phone. With my S24 Ultra, even with the more power-hungry settings like high screen resolution and multiple apps running in the background, I can make it home with battery to spare without having to charge it once. You really have to use them side-by-side to notice the difference. Otherwise, very good video, thank you. ❤

[@ThatGuy-qg4ww]

Was it like that when you first purchased your s22? Or did the battery degrade that fast in two years? My batteries degrade fast, I don’t think I use a efficient recharge system (overnight charger here) and my iPhone batteries always crap out after 2 years that I’ll need a charger too. I ordered a s24u so I’m hoping this won’t just happen again, I think it’s how I charge them tho :/

[@the__skyrider275]

@@ThatGuy-qg4wwActually, the battery was still in very good condition. The battery health never dropped, but the phone was not as optimized as an S24 Ultra. Even in the winter, the phone was getting hot. Sometimes, I had to turn the performance to maximum to have a smooth and fast phone for a bit. I'm using a 45W charger from Samsung but at night i reduce the power to 15W so i don't destroy the battery. The phone was not that optimized with all the components.

[@worthlessbeing6526]

Same with my note 10 plus versus s23 ultra, s23 ultra wins the battery.

[@cyberlexl3136]

It isn't only that; u should activate the battery protection mode, to cap at 80%, and also don't let your battery below 18% without charging it. If you d​o that u'll get a good battery for a longer time period@@ThatGuy-qg4ww

[@okeyezeilo6187]

Thanks for this honest comparison. I moved up from the Note 20 & that's why I bought the S24 Ultra. If I were coming from the S22U, the only reason I would have moved on the S24 U would have been the x5 Telephoto lens. In general photography, the x5 (115mm) is far more useful than a x10 (230mm), especially for portraits. And covering that range with a 50mp x5 generates far better images than a cropped 10mp x3...

[@Shan_Shah]

U also forget the professor efficiency is a signficant upgrade

[@Shawncim]

Why does the portrait video from the s22 ultra looks better than S24 ultra? Can you please comment on that?

[@samdixon7050]

Great review man appreciate it. I am still holding onto my S22 Ultra. It still does everything I need it to do. You can still get a great photo and it is a great phone for work as it is a multi tasking beast. Something I dont hear many people talk about are the size of the camera lenses. Maybe I am in the minority. But I do not like the HUGE lenses on the back with the bling bling silver on the sides. Looks a bit gaudy and cheap for my taste. The S22 Ultra lenses are smaller and less in your face. So for me I will stick with my S22 Ultra for now. Sure the battery is not great but on the other hand stick it in a charger and you are back up to 100% in no time. Also I know Samsung have moved away from the curved screen and this is for again the vast majority of people amazing. However I always kind of liked that cool curved screen. Gives the phone a great look and feel. Anyway just my two cents on what is for sure a 'First world Problem" ha ha. Lets face it if you are in a position to pick between either one then life is good!

[@lol101ioi]

I've had the 22,23,24 and trust me it does get better and better and they add more features to the cam like right now being able to shoot 4k120, 4k120 slow-motion, portrait on the new 5x which the 10x was not able to do. new 5x has a wider aperture, bigger sensor and more pixels and can still zoom up to 100x. not to mention screen is better when shooting outside coz of the 2600 peak brightness and the anti reflective screen. trust me it helps. shutter lag has greatly reduced and there are more settings on the camera. people say it's a slight upgrade, if everything is better and you add it all up, it's a major upgrade.

[@JoseCalderon04]

[@kevinholman6369]

I have the S22 Ultra right now and my biggest issue is finding a good screen protector that doesn't fall apart or bubble, brand new screen protectors work perfect for about 2 weeks and then they peel and collect dust and dirt and it's no longer any good.. very unfortunate

[@blubb7483]

You have to find someone who is capable of taking the time to put on the protector correctly. 99% of the Geek squad are not capable even though they say they are. I found 2 individuals that take the time and are capable. If you go the Zagg route, you can replace the protector for free as long as you want.

[@Mar.T.365]

Great video, thank you! I'm still rockin' the S22 Ultra and I think it's worth holding on to at least one more year. The differences in the photos and videos that you demonstrated is negligible to my eyes! I know there is a slight difference, but in either case, these phones both take great photos and videos. The performance capacity of the S22 suits my needs very well. I'm a little surprised that the S24 didn't blow away the S22 for battery life in your demonstration. I know the Exynos version gets a bad rap, but the Snapdragon version can hold it's own! Again, great video! 👍

In my opinion the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are the best looking phones ive ever seen in my life. The squared off, boxy, rectangular design with the sharp corners and edges that come on the Samsung Galaxy S22-S24 Ultra smartphones is so beautiful, premium, and aesthetically pleasing. I think Samsung created the best looking phone design ever when they introduced the Galaxy S22 Ultra and kept it going throughout the Galaxy S23-S24 Ultra. I dont think ill ever love a smartphone design as much as I love the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra design.

[@eduardo.calistenia]

I just received my S23 Ultra yesterday. What a monster of a phone! Massive upgrade from my S20 FE (which will continue being my daily driver for a while). The S24 Ultra is also a monster, but I prefer saving some money. And, honestly, the differences aren't so big anymore between one generation and another. I think the S22 Ultra still holds up pretty well, even the S21 Ultra still holds up. I plan to upgrade only when we have removable battery and the updates to my phone are over.

I totally agree, had s24 ultra for 3 days now and when i go back to my s22 ultra the screen looks so much more vivid, colorful and bright. S24 ultra screen looks so much more yellowish and colors are much warmer. And if we consider the feel S22 ultra is easily the better phone for average users.

When people (including children) are being paid pittance to go down dangerous or toxic mines to for rare-earth metals, hopefully even tech junkies like us will more and more think twice before upgrades. I say this not to preach or criticise, but to empathise. I'm passionate about sustainability / a people & planet lover [e.g. I'm almost bankrupting myself by taking trains trip holidays to avoid flying (first world problems i know!) ]. but I am also a recovering, partial tech junkie. It's really hard to resist tech-quality-FOMO.... , Thank you for the detailed video - great job showing the upgrades/changes. I was tempted to get a 2nd hand or refurb'd S24 but your insightful video shows - IMHO - the S24 is amazing but the S22 is more than good enough, for me.

[@katinasoutherland7693]

Yeah I just saw a documentary on kids having to do that man that really broke my heart and made me think so. Yeah you've got great points. Stick with your s22 bro.

Love that quad pixel autofocus and the dual take But I'm keeping my 22 i guess, also still not liking the 5x Would have been better if it was a 4.5 x replacing the 3 x and a better 10x The new 200 sensor could crop in pretty well the 3x lens range

[@okeyezeilo6187]

I guess it would depend on what one shoots. Coming from a background of full-frame photography, I've found the range 24-120 most useful for general photography. Serious portraiture relies heavily in the range 70-120 for perspective control. Beyond that, it flattens the perspective too much to be flattering to the average subject. The x3 (69mm) & x5 (115mm) do a reasonable job, but I use the x3 more and honestly wish it had more megapixels...say 25 or, if one is to be greedy 😁, 50....

[@AusEnduroChannel]

Bro Have to say 22 ultra pics looks cleaner better color ... 24 looks like a smooth filter and dull color has a makeup style smoothing filter added to eveything its looks dull in photos Doesn't look worth the upgrade... Just consumerism making people wanna update new Colors cheaper build... Camera wise it's obvious the 22 kills the 24

[@eppsislike]

Was able to get the S24 Ultra for just €500 with trade ins and promotion, the upgrade from the S22 ultra is worth it. The 22 ultra was getting sluggish, waiting 5 seconds for the editor to pop up after making a screenshot (whilst having 12gb ram) was just unacceptable IMO, especially how older iPhones are much faster. I'm using my camera a lot for content creation and the S24 Ultra is blowing it out of the park. Also, anti reflective screen, flat screen (which finally allows me to use the AI function in peace with my s pen IYKYK). It's really worth it.

[@ronniejaye1]

Samsung can say what they want but i watched a 3way side by side comparison between all the cameras with all pictures unedited taken at the same time side by side. The s22 and 23 10x sensor definitely won over the 5x . Between the 3 they all traded blows but the s22 won morethan it lost. Its a long detailed and extended video. For me , ive decided until another update or 2 hits the s24 before seriously considering an upgrade . That was after the big update the s24 just got. I chalk it up to software maturity and tuning over time. But it definitely made me reconsider, although I might actually upgrade for screen and battery reasons eventually.

And the battery life is like 3 or 4 times better. The flat screen is more practical and feels like more screen real estate. No feeling of the curved intrusion when swiping from the edge of the screen. And it's far more snappier, smoother and responsive. S24U is the pinnacle of the the Samsungs ever made.

[@kaichidraws7787]

I love my S22u, my phone plan was up , at the same time s24u is available , so I did switch. Took me abit to get used to s24u since i love s22u but I guess as the day went on I got used to it and that flat display is so much better for spen/note taking - which is the reason I got S22u and now S24u.

[@citrocar1028]

What about the updates for s22 ultra? How many years of updates (OS & security) will the s22 ultra get? That's the most important thing one should ponder over while buying a device that almost 2 years old.

[@thekhakiobserver3128]

Absolutely great analysis and at the same time highlights why you do not need to upgrade as frequently. In order to observe the differences you need side by side comparison, pause the video etc. It is not apparent in day to day, insta, FB, Snap posts which have their on compression and processing. results can be negating by an unsteady hand or fast moving capture. makers could really software tweak for three yrs on the same phone imo, but its a business.

[@Gaston430]

The best comparisson on youtube! THANK!

[@hknulzesnulnegen]

I might upgrade today from my S21U to S22U. Wasn't going to but can get one for 350 euros with a bit of scratches. Am tempted since I really love to test out phones

[@ChillGuy_1-e7y]

Don't it ain't really different

[@espressodisplays]

Amazing analysis and insight as always, mate! Well done! A few of us at espresso are loving the S24 - amazing innovation.

[@NathanElcoate]

Nice mate, was this shot at Broadbeach?

[@toddpace4588]

The Note always had better specs than the S series in every way. Even the Camera. Even the Note 8 had the dual cameras while the S8 and S8 plus each had one camera.

[@gusxvidal]

Voice Call Quality? Does it matter?

[@vicluv1165]

After the s22ultra software update, I feel like I have a new phone lol. Side camera quality stuff it feels like a s24u lol.

[@tlogwood5022]

I agree, I see no difference besides the cameras. I like the s22u camera better.

[@jerbsherb4391]

I like how they showed off the AI stuff for S24 ultra and I am already using those same features on my S22. Absolutely terrible reason to upgrade. Unless there is some insane hardware upgrade in the S25, I am not upgrading.

[@hapzfl]

Excellent videos by TECH! I traded my S22 Ultra against an S24 Ultra and I was excited about the video quality. At first. I took tons of videos using UHD/60fps at night at a rock concert and the clips look terrific. However, back at my Win 11 PC these clips look terrible. Exposure is flickering when I play them in the Media Player, and when I put them in a video editor, i.e. DaVinci, all the clips display a grey fog. I basically have to adjust a lot of color settings that were done on the S24 Ultra automatically, it seems, but not transferred when copying them to my PC. What the heck? That worked perfectly with the S22 Ultra! By the way, these problems are also with HD/30. Right now, these clips are unusable. What good is it when they are perfect on the phone but nowhere else? Am I missing something?

[@hapzfl]

I found the reason: the S24 Ultra uses a 10-bit HEVC (H.265) code for UHD which neither Microsoft Windows 11 nor DaVinci Resolve can handle. Only the VLC player is able to handle playing these UHD clips properly. But that does not help with editing.

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

but is the 24 worth 3x the price over the 22 ?

[@ChasseurTueur]

3x there? really? here its just around 25$ more

[@akschd]

Hi. Is it possible to compare s23 ultra with s24 ultra now? After the recent April update. I want to see 10x, 30x and 100x clicks of both after this update. This will help me decide to sell off s24 ultra and buy s23 ultra back again. Thanks in advance.

[@jcat96]

This video is definitely helping me decide my next upgrade. Wish I didnt have to but I busted my S22U screen. The camera hardware is most important, and the 5x optical vs 10x on the S22U may be my dealbreaker on buying another S22U

[@swaathisuresh2989]

As a non samsung user,Can someone pls tell me which one should I go for ? S23u or 24u?

[@tlogwood5022]

I recently had my Samsung S22 Ultra break and received a refurbished one as a replacement. I am also currently testing out the Samsung S24 Ultra to consider upgrading. However, I have noticed a significant difference in the brightness of the photos taken with the two devices. The S22 Ultra produces much brighter images compared to the S24 Ultra. Apart from this, I have not observed any other major differences between the two phones. I personally prefer the brighter display and photos of the S22 Ultra, both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, my refurbished S22 Ultra has the AI intelligence features enabled, which I appreciate. Considering these factors, I am leaning towards keeping the S22 Ultra.

[@jimgom3337]

My conclusion is this : Both phones offers you exactly the same daily user experience and similar quality photos & videos. The only NOTICEABLE difference i see, is the anti-reflection of S24 Ultra display ! Definately NOT worth to upgrade !

[@LizzieBeezie]

Whenever i buy any Samsung phones, i would wait about 2 generations at least to get the newer one. Started with S6 then got the S10+. Afterwards i got a very good deal for the S20 + and went with it but was thoroughly disappointed with that generation until i got my S22 ultra and i love it. I think i'll wait for the S25 series to come out and see then.

[@packogarciaFotografia]

hola, como estas? disculpa la molestia como te va con la bateria s22 ultra? compre uno pero no se si quedarmelo o regresarlo ya que veo muchos comentarios que no dura la bateria y se caliente compre con el procesador Snapdragon

[@LizzieBeezie]

@@packogarciaFotografia I have had mine for 2 years now and even though i use my phone most of the time as a router for my pc on 5G, the battery is still going strong. Full charge will last me more than a day with using 5G and listening to music, etc. It's a very good phone for sure and the Snapdragon is way better as i have the Exynos one.

[@packogarciaFotografia]

@@LizzieBeezie muchas gracias por responder, te agradezco mucho , saludos

[@ryanjones7202]

I have had my S22 Ultra since itc launched and almost 3 years later it's still going very strong! Love it so much! But with the S25 coming soon I think it's worth making the upgrade to the S24 Ultra!

[@frfr335]

Very thorough review, thanks.

[@MadhaviPalavilli]

Wow.. such a detailed video 😮

[@fadilxheka1232]

Thanks, mate. Great comprehensive video. I just purchased two s22 ultras on a clearance sale with Vodafone for $940 each. I could not justify paying $2k for the s24 ultra.

[@MelanieFromCanada]

My phone contract is up in September, so I am forced to turn in my s22. It is literally the best phone I've ever had. I got my s22 to take the best photos of my artwork, and lucky me, I got one of the few that takes bad photos. It was suggested it was dropped hard before I received it. Here's hoping the s24 will be handed over on a pillow. And as long as I can go out in the night and still take a close up picture of the moon... I'll be happy. Great vide, ty!

[@lukedudgeon8699]

fantastic and comprehensive comparison. have an s22 ultra and im still waiting for the fold series to get a better camera suite before going back. s24 ultra is on my radar, but now so is the sony xperia 1 vi. i just really miss expandable memory and a headphone jack.

[@sachindatt4045]

After being a note and ultra series user having owned note1, note2, note3, note 8, note20, s22u, i can say one thing about samsung, they actually use customers as guinea pigs. They have great complete phones release followed by half baked experiments. So you have to know which one is their complete phone and which ones are experiments on users. Note 1 and 2 were experiments. Note 3 was experiment. Note 4 was complete, 5, 6, 8,9 were all experiments. Note 10 was the actual final complete phone. Note20 snapdragon was also the complete note as it was the last note. Then s21U and s22U were half baked experiments and S23 ultra was the complete phone. S24U is sadly an experimental phone. They will refine it in later versions. But since in todays world its not possible to fool people for so long i guess they will correct the probable delibrate shortcomings of s24U in S25U. But for now S23U was the last complete phone that samsung has to offer. I dont have s24 U, but based on the reviews, i can guage that S24U issamsungs experiment on users...based on the data, they will refine it and come up with a more complete phone. And users frustrated with s24 will love the next s25u which will immediately look superb compared to s24u. The same happened with s22u and s23u.

[@lizvickers7156]

I had the note 10 plus which was a great phone. I still have it and it still runs great. The only thing wrong with it is the battery is terrible and being 5 years old no updates. The camara was fantastic as well.

[@ImEasyAs]

Legendary review mate. Well done.

[@JacobDrJIsrael]

Excellent video. Thanks. As someone who has daily driven a Note 22 for over a year, and who has been looking at replacing my spouse's stolen vanilla s23, contemplating a Note 24 as a repace... Very tempting...

[@PatrickLesterQuian]

Do you think its worth buying s22 Ultra now? Or is it nearing the end of its life with updates?

[@jimgeorgevarughese9746]

I am using 22 ultra more than 1 yr...and i am happy with it, My friend bought s24 ultra recently,when i am compared with it i like 22 ultra more than 24 ultra, only prblm with the battery

[@JosieGrace]

I want to upgrade, but im wondering how the front facing camera is? I know it's less mega pixels, but I've read the AI makes up for it. Is that true?

[@techwithbenefits]

It's a 12mp camera vs 40mp, however with S22 Ultra Samsung took 10mp resolution selfies by default. The S24 Ultra also has a better Auto Focus (dual pixel) and larger sensor size. It's better!

[@JosieGrace]

@@techwithbenefits Thank you for getting back to me so fast! I was going to upgrade in October when my contract is up. Is it good for filming too?

[@techwithbenefits]

@@JosieGrace check out my camera feature video for the Ultra. It goes through all the video features and might give some good insights!

[@JosieGrace]

@@techwithbenefits I just watched after I watched this one. Maybe I missed the "selife" camera part... my cats were being bad

[@TDGarber]

Very good comparison video! Think I'm going to wait at least another year to upgrade. Love my S22U Personally I like the punchier colors and the depth of field of my camera.

[@ev02006]

So, not much improvement. Not worth an upgrade for the everyday user with a good condition phone.

[@tlogwood5022]

Pretty much

[@alihms]

I wanted to upgrade my S22U to S25U. A 3 generation gap, which should give a more substantial across the board performance difference. Alas, my S22U screen cracked. Screen replacement is nearly 1/4 of the total cost of the new phone. So, I bit the bullet and upgraded.

[@_olamilekan]

Thanks for this video by the way 🧡❤ I have been expecting this long time ago ❤❤ Appreciate

[@BijaySuvedi]

Playing with s24 ultra for 3 days now and when i go back to my s22 ultra the screen looks so much more vivid, colorful and bright. S24 ultra screen looks so much more yellowish and colors are much warmer. And if we consider the feel S22 ultra is easily the better phone for average users.

[@iFlexxin]

Exporting times are not MUCH quicker. The video rendering is less than 10% faster on the s24 ultra. S22U was at 91% as the S24U was finishing. That's not that significant for a 2 year difference coupled with the fact that the S22U has probably been used much much more.

[@vadergrd]

just want to say to with the s24 ultra ( something that i like ) samsung seemed to have move away from the hdr , ultra processed "samsung" look ... the images look more like the pixel pro now. great video

[@TealsHalo]

Thank you for the comparison!

[@friendlywizard6462]

I've just done a trade upgrade from a Huawei P30 Pro 128GB to a S24 Ultra 1TB so I think an upgrade was definitely worthwhile for me. 🙂 But it is still good to see these kind of videos of how well the S22 Ultra holds up so I feel pretty confident this one will last me for quite a few years hopefully.

[@J.Wick.]

I got a mint 512gb s22u early this year for 400. it's phenomenal. it's my work phone. no need for anything more. it's more than capable to do anything anyone needs. biggest uplift has been in efficiency-battery life. my 22u will last 3 days so I have no need for more. but if you punish a phone, the 24 will run away with it due to efficiencies of the chipset. 22u looks better imo. I prefer the slight curved screen, and the "Terminator" laser af in the cameras lol. picture wise, I couldn't tell ya the difference. if anything, I prefer the punchier colors of the 22u. all for ⅓ the price. cheers!
