Hey Whats Up Mkbhd Here And This Is The

brand new galaxy S22 Ultra I’ve been using it for about two weeks now and I promise you I’m not going to call this the note 22 ultra over and over again. In this review, I swear I can make it through this video without making that joke, but really the bottom line here to understand this phone. The best really is like if you took the name off of this phone. What Samsung is giving you for the money is a galaxy note but the phone that I’m reviewing and using is called the S22 Ultra let’s get into it so the word ultra. In Samsung’s lineup has basically come to just mean the highest ambitions, the biggest numbers the best specs and the most features overall it’s just that now the Ultra name has swallowed up the note stuff.

Too So Note Used To Be

that one special edition phone with the squared off design, the flat top and bottom and the pen built in now that’s just all wrapped up into Ultra and the S22 Ultra does not miss a beat with all the ultra stuff they’re packing in the highest end ship. They can that’s the snapdragon 8gen one here in the Us with a massive new cooling solution alongside it. The Ram is technically down from last year. The base model has eight gigs and all the rest have 12 and there’s no more 16 gig version, but I honestly don’t miss that I can’t imagine someone really needing 16 gigs of Ram in their phone right now, but you absolutely can go up to one terabyte of non–expandable storage though but this display this display is also excellent. It’s a huge 6.

8 Inch 1440P Ammo.

120 Hertz with a 240 hertz touch sample rate and the big new number is a max brightness of 1750 nits now on the one hand. I don’t want to overreact about 1750 nits like it’s a big number, but brightness works on a logarithmic scale. So this 1750 is not dramatically brighter than the 1500 max from last year. ‘s S21 Ultra these phones are all very sunlight readable, but I do still want to give samsung credit for continuing to improve an already best-in-class display and making it even better.

It Still Got The Same Great

ultrasonic fingerprint reader as last year. Right under the middle of the screen and still has a hole punch camera in the top middle and it’s an Ltpo2 panel now which means in addition to being really responsive. It can drop that refresh rate as low as 1 Hertz when there’s nothing moving. Screen really my only dislike with this display is the curve over the edges, so if you look at this phone next to last year’s S21 Ultra Obviously these phones are different shapes and the displays are actually slightly different resolutions, and this new shape definitely curves more over the sides which I don’t like as much other than that. This is an awesome ultra display and we all know it’s not an ultra without a massive battery, so yeah 5000 milliamp hour should do the trick now interestingly.

There Are Some Tests Online Showing

that it doesn’t last as long as last year’s 5000 milliamp hour battery and you can see a Roon Mister who’s the boss did a variety of things in his test and found the S21 ultra did last a bit longer than this phone and to me when I see that I’m like okay there’s. a variety of factors that can contribute to that one. The slightly better display two a little bit more of a power hungry chip that runs hotter in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, but generally my battery experience has been very very good. I actually never killed it in a day never really got anywhere close easily ending heavy days with 30-40 plus percent battery left and could extrapolate about seven hours of screen on time out of a charge which is great for me. I know screen on time is different for everyone but it’s been great plus on top of that.

It Does Charge A Bit Faster Than

last year up to 45 watt peak charging. If you buy that fifty dollar optional brick so i’m glad. They They fit that big 5000 milliamp hour cell in here, despite also adding the s pen which takes up a whole column along the inside of the phone, but speaking of that s pen that’s what’s new the note stuff now. I’m personally not the biggest s pen user. I think I say this every time.

I Review A Note Like.

I think I signed one pdf last week with it which was really convenient, but you know I did it once and I used samsung’s handwriting recognition in the notes app super cool that it works really well and you can search what you’ve written and I also I just enjoy that it still clicks a lot like that so it is definitely impressive. I still think it’s the best stylist in any phone and it’s literally got all the features The last notes had smart select is nice. for screenshots and annotating things lock screen quick notes are still super convenient if you use samsung notes and it even still has that long distance bluetooth connection that lets you use the button on the s pen to remote control take photos without touching the phone and the new display brings latency down from nine milliseconds, which is already pretty good all the way down to 2. 8 milliseconds which to me basically feels like real time you know I’m not an artist who’s doing massive drawings or extremely precise sketch work with the pen it’s just casual writing and so the fact that it uses Ai to predict where the pen is going to go and starts drawing those pixels slightly ahead of where the panel is actually registering it is pretty next level so to me.

This This Is As Close To

one to one as it gets. But at the end of the day, if you see all this and you’re like I still probably won’t really use any of it, then you can just slot the pen right back into the phone and never use it. It’s out of the way and the phone didn’t make any sacrifices to include it so okay here’s a bunch of other smaller things that I noticed from using this phone every day that you should too if you’re planning on getting one so the speakers are excellent. They get very loud and sound crisp and clear like last year some of the best in any smartphone so that’s great for watching media but then the display curving more over the edges than last year makes it worse for watching videos and then the vibration motor. This is a small thing, but I mentioned it also in the s22 review.

They Changed The Type So It

went from a Z-axis vibration motor to an X-axis vibration motor. It doesn’t sound like much, but it changes the way it feels so it feels just as strong and precise and clean for typing or swiping or holding it in your hand. But it’s way less strong when it’s on a desk or in your pocket. So I literally missed phone calls with my phone sitting right in front of me vibrating on my desk because I didn’t hear it or feel it then the camera rings so they’re a bit of a controversial design sure but like most designs you kind of get used to looking at it but you never ever fully get it clean of dust so if you go caseless like me not only does the phone sit kind of funny on a table, but there will also always. between the camera rings so just get ready for that.

I Would Actually Recommend If You

get a case channel sponsor Dbrand just dropped their atomic edition grip case and it doesn’t do a huge cutout all the way around the cameras like I thought we might see in my impressions video. It actually just matches the camera rings and it looks way cleaner and it’s just deep enough to protect the cameras If you drop it so this is definitely the way to go. You can check it out at the link below. Then this phone just like the other S22s shoots 8k video at 24 Fps. You know the wrong frame rate give us the option for 30 Samsung just put it in the settings somewhere, but even worse than not having the 30Fps toggle it actually crops in way more than the regular S22s so turns out.

Shooting 8K Is 33 Megapixels And

it’s actually cropping in to the middle 33 megapixels of this huge 108 megapixel sensor. So when you switch to 8k you zoom in to what feels like about 2x, which is pretty inconvenient for framing no Ak video from the ultrawide or the telephoto lenses. This is a bit of a downside and then there is absolutely still some shutter lag with this main camera more than the regular s22s again, and this is understandable with all the processing happening, but it definitely felt like I was missing some shots or having trouble capturing moving objects because of the bit of a delay between the shutter press and the actual photo being taken. But speaking of cameras let’s just get the camera stuff out of the way it’s funny because this is probably what most people actually come to these review videos for if you think about it if you watch a smartphone presentation. These days 75 of a new phone presentation today, especially a flagship is camera stuff so that’s one of the biggest things that differentiates these phones and on a 1200 phone.

Its One Of The Most Important

features so how is it well you can see they went with basically the same layout of this set of cameras. As last year it’s 108 megapixel primary camera, the ultra wide the 3x telephoto and the 10x telephoto plus laser autofocus and they’re not the same exact hardware as last year, but they’re pretty close and that’s a good thing and samsung is not messing around with their cameras. These are. Definitely flagship quality and I’m really happy with them matter of fact. I don’t even have much to say about image quality because there really isn’t much new here.

But There Are Some New Features

within the camera modes that might sort of unlock some new things and be different about this phone. So I’m gonna go over those with you one by one. So first. The more accurate portrait mode now. I think I tweeted a couple months ago sort of ruffled some feathers, but I said something like Samsung has the best like portrait mode on smartphones right now and I understandably ruffled some feathers, but I should clarify basically.

• s22 ultra let word ultra
• thing mentioned s22 review
• s21 ultra obviously phones different
• going note 22 ultra
• mkbhd brand new galaxy s22

What I Mean Is Their Cutouts Have

been the most consistent and the most accurate of portrait modes among smartphones that I’ve seen so that doesn’t mean the the blur is the most natural or the falloff is. the most realistic I just mean they make the least errors with like ears and hair and shirts and stuff and so this year they’re planning on well. They’ve announced that they’re doing it even better. They’ve got Ai stereo depth mapping for portrait mode that they claim can cut out things as small as a single human hair which would be cool.

Its Not Exactly Accurate, But They

say it’s better. So I still found it to be really good, but it’s definitely not perfect. It still misses some stuff sometimes.

Summary

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a galaxy note but the phone that I’m reviewing and using is called the S22 ultra . It’s the snapdragon 8gen one here in the Us with a massive new cooling solution alongside it . The Ram is technically down from last year, but I honestly don’t miss that I can’t imagine someone really needing 16 gigs of Ram in their phone right now, but you absolutely can go up to one terabyte of non–expandable storage though but this display this display is also excellent. It’s a huge 6.8 inch 1440p ammo. I swear I can make it through this video without making that joke, but really the bottom line here to understand this phone is like if you took the name off of this phone. The best really is like the Galaxy Note is like a Galaxy Note with the name of the Galaxy Galaxy S 22 Ultra . The Galaxy Note 4 is available on sale for $99.99 for two months in the US…..
