Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra review, Price and Specifications

Description

This is the galaxy S22 ultra, it’s Samsung’s flagship phone for 2022. If the last few years are anything to go by this should set a new benchmark for what a smartphone can do so here are the really cool things. What I like about it is the sneaky things I don’t like about it and then the big question, if it’s worth it, is it worth dropping what you’re doing sprinting to your computer, and smacking that pre-order button right now okay so the very first development of note is that the S22 ultra has an S-Pen stylus built into it and it’s kind of amazing see Samsung used to have two different sets of flagships they had the s series which focused on having a faster chipset and big camera improvements and then they had the note series which focused on productivity through the use of this pen but the S22 ultra is both of these things plus the S-pen has never felt better while their last version had a latency or lag of about nine milliseconds which was already bordering on indistinguishable from a real pen this time round. Thanks to AI that cannot just know where the stylus is but also predict where it’s going to be they’ve managed to trim that lag all the way down to just 2.8 milliseconds.

Design

Then we’ve got the design and just to give you context here I love the design of the S21 ultra it was comfortable to hold it was clean but at the same time it had character in the form of this camera housing that kind of melts into the top corner and with the s22 ultra I feel like samsung’s taken the next logical step forward it’s almost identical in terms of dimensions and finish and even the position of each camera lens but they’ve now upgraded the glass all around for 12.5 percent more strength and they stripped away that bulky camera housing leaving the lenses themselves as the only protruding parts.

Display

Samsung was going to nail here, it’s the screen samsung has become the largest display company in the world.The S22 ultra screen takes the last already stunning panel and dials the peak brightness up from 1500 nits all the way to 1750 and it does so whilst actually consuming less power.

Battery

We have the same high capacity 5000 mah cell as the S21 ultra but it should last longer. Thanks to various efficiency improvements just lots of little things like the phone being able to put the wi-fi to sleep automatically when not in use and it should also charge faster. Thanks to the maximum charging power being bumped from 25 watts to 45 that’s just incredible but all of this stuff the s pen displays software battery these are all pretty minor improvements over last year.
