So What Do The Early 2000S San Antonio

Spurs and the current day Phoenix Suns and the Galaxy s 22 series all have in common well They’re all drama-free They’re all kind of a bit boring and all quietly really really good. So those spurs weren’t really just a one-trick pony of being more athletic or dunking all over the top of people or just shooting tons of three-pointers or really any of the things that a casual fan would immediately appreciate just good solid fundamentals ball movement high percentage shots and sharing the load same kind of thing with the Phoenix Suns of today they don’t necessarily have one huge standout MVP superstar, But like the whole team is really really good and there aren’t really any weaknesses and they’re quietly the number one team in basketball. This phone is boring like i’m not the only one who’s thought. That but that’s what happens when a phone gets so really good across the board that there aren’t really any weaknesses because they didn’t really take any huge risks. They just took a good thing and made it better.

So I Appreciate That You Know What

you’re getting with a Samsung flagship very similar design to last year just a little bit smaller and a little more squared off and with glass on the back now instead of plastic that little spot where your finger rests under the camera bump too if you use it without a case. It’s a little more sharp but i got used to that pretty quickly, but we all expect an IP68 water resistant phone solid speakers clicky buttons the best ultrasonic fingerprint reader in the game, a nice satin finish you know not all of these things can be said about every other phone. But they’re all here and I even want to give a shout out to the in the hand feel of the smaller galaxy S22 so I talk about in the hand feel all the time, but Samsung made both of these phones smaller than last year. The S22 plus went from 6. 7 inches to 6.

6 Diagonally Still Big, But Then The Smaller

S22 went from 6.2 to 6. 1 inches and dare. I say it has a bit of a compact feel to it now obviously it sounds crazy to say that about a phone that still has a six inch screen. But the fact that i’m coming from bigger phones combined with the flat sides and the tiny symmetrical bezels and the corner to corner display.

This Has Me Feeling Like Its

about as compact as the phone can possibly be and I’m almost tempted to have it in the running for maybe compact phone of the year. Maybe it just holds that lead for right now in February, but speaking of displays that’s the one thing that we definitely know Samsung two have been good at for a long time this year. Though there was a bit of confusion around them so let’s clear that up so both the S22 and S22 plus have flat 1080p 120 hertz adaptive ammo led panels. The plus is obviously bigger and it also has the higher max brightness of 1750 nits, where the S22 gets up to a very respectable 1300 nits. They’re both very viewable outdoors.

Although The Peak Brightness On The

bigger phones and also the ultra is crazy bright like you can view it in direct sunlight. It’s awesome, but there was a question about whether these were LtPo displays or not so that’s that newer tech that allows you to modulate the display refresh rate down to 10 hertz to save battery. So I’d ask Samsung and I mentioned this in the impressions video that they told me that these are not Ltpo displays but then at the same time on the spec sheet. It also said that these go from 10 to 120 Hertz so that was a bit confusing but now a few days later. If you check Samsung’s actually changed those spec sheets and their website saying it can go from 48 to 120 Hertz.

So They Clarified That Data Transfer Rates To

the display can go as low as 10 Hertz. But the display is still refreshing faster so they updated their site to reflect the widely recognized industry standard of the actual refresh rate H it’s almost like some other companies, sometimes lie to people by expressing things in other non–standard ways anyway so it’s not the full variable refresh rate range of LtPo2 like we have on the ultra, which is a bit of a downside to an 800 to a thousand dollar phone, but aside from that it’s a great bright responsive display in this adaptive mode. What matters most to me? I did notice there’s still some situations and still a few apps where it kicks down to 60 Hertz on purpose like maps apps like Waze and Google maps and still the galaxy store app for some reason, but with all the color customization and a really good auto brightness. The only possible downside with this screen would be battery life and on top of that. The only concern for me really going into reviewing these phones was the battery life because number one.

Both The Phones Are Smaller And So

both of them have a 300 milliamp hour smaller battery than last year and number two. The new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip had some concerns about it. It’s that’s obviously brand new and supposed to be very efficient, but it also appears to be geared to be a very high-end chip very high. So it performs really well puts up great numbers better than previous chips on benchmarks and it crushes gaming, but it runs a little hot and if there’s a reason almost every flagship you see coming out with this new chip also has like a huge section in their presentation about their new massive super innovative new cooling solution so with no Ltpo smaller batteries and a potentially higher power drawing chip. I was a little concerned about battery life on these phones turned out to be fine not amazing not like headline making but San Antonio spurs boring level good so David was testing the S22 plus most at the studio and got a solid day and a half of use.

So Starting A Day At 7

00 am and then getting to 1 pm the next day before the battery dies pretty solid and I was using a smaller S22 for a few days and had no problem ending a normal day with 10 to 20 percent left now. If I did a lot of high brightness navigation and gaming big power draw stuff I could take big chunks out of this battery fast so that did not surprise me with this chip. It is a more efficient four nanometer process node now so it does really well with standby. But you can absolutely burn through it with heavy use something to keep in mind too though the S22 plus has a better overall battery experience because it also supports 45 watt fast charging instead of the 25 watts on the smaller phone. Now it doesn’t come with it so it’s 50 bucks extra to get that 45 watt charger but that’s a difference to note you wanna know something I did find I like less about the S22, though than last year it’s a subtle one but it’s real the vibration motor.

So The Haptics Are Still Actually Really

good and really strong and clicky and responsive and I love that about it. But they’ve switched from a Z-axis vibration motor to an x-axis vibration motor. It doesn’t sound like it make a huge difference, but that’s a difference in the direction of the pulsing of the motor and. It a lot less strong in my pocket and on a table for feeling the vibrations. I missed a lot of notifications just because it didn’t strongly buzz me enough So yeah, I don’t know that was a subtle thing.

You Can Still Feel The Vibrations

really well and turn vibration intensity all the way up, but the direction is different Not sure why maybe space savings but it’s real maybe the most exciting potential Superstar upgrade on these phones, though is the cameras the S22 having a major camera upgrade would be like the 2016 Golden State Warriors signing Kevin Durant making them the clear number one favorite right. You have a new 50 megapixel main camera, a 10 megapixel 110 degree ultra wide and another 10 megapixel 3x telephoto camera. But this new camera system is more Harrison Barnes than Kevin Durant meaning it’s it’s really good, but it’s not gonna blow your mind at how good it is I love that we take photos this good from a smartphone for granted you give it pretty much any normal lighting situation and handles it really well. Samsung’s colors are nicely balanced. They’ve hit their stride with processing that isn’t too overly sharp or saturated.

The Ultrawide Is Definitely Softer Than

the main camera, but it still does well with a lot of light and the telephoto is rock solid, no weird, HDr haloing issues and pictures no white balance, inconsistency problems, no auto focus issues and pretty minimal shutter lag it’s just boring tim Duncan with the bank. Shot level solid also I I gotta say I love that it no longer punches into 3x when I shoot 8k video on the phone. I know Ak video is not the most popular feature, but last time. The higher resolution camera was the telephoto, so if I shot 8k video it would punch into a 3x crop that was rough.

It Doesnt Do That Anymore.

Now it’s just a tiny crop in on that main sensor, which is actually a smaller crop than on the ultra because the ultra is cropping into the middle 33 megapixels of this massive 108 megapixel sensor. So I’d actually rather shoot 8k video on the regular S22s than the S22. Ultra now I’m not going to do it because it’s still 24 Fps, which is the wrong frame rate shopped.

Onbc.

com but still like why couldn’t Samsung add a little switch to make it. 8K 30 if I wanted to the last three snapdragon chips have been able to support 8K 30FPs video and I know you know 8k is supposed to be a super high-end cinematic feature, but at least buried in the settings let me do ak-30 If I want to I don’t know maybe it’s a samsung thing. Other phones have been able to do it not samsung now.

There Are Way More Software Improvements With These

cameras like night photography, which Samsung calls knightography because they have to name everything for some reason, but that’s for better detail and night shots and Ai stereo portrait mode improvements for better cutouts and space zoom stability locking and auto framing that can track up to 10 faces around a frame and a new separate expert raw app I’m going to talk way more about all this camera stuff in the S22. review video which is coming soon definitely make sure you subscribe to see that one when it comes out, But in this one I wanted to talk about its default status which you know, especially in the U. s now it’s kind of a running joke that outside of the tech community we’ve heard people call it like iphones and galaxies like they’ve just been so dominant here anyway that it’s kind of already understood, but especially with the S22 series now more than ever.
