Samsung S22 Ultra... and if you think the oppo looks even comparable to S22 Ultra, you need to get your eyes checked... Oppo feels cheap and childish phone and unsymmetric and wierd
I really like Oppo this year, but i still go for Samsung since it is more versatile and S Pen. Moreover, I'm looking forward to seeing Snapdragon vs Exynos S22 Ultra comparison. However, I also want to see you add processing time between the two after the shorts were taken as well. Really appreciated your work!
Great video and two great phones. I'm buying one of them but which one, still struggling to decide but think I'm edging towards the Oppo for the following reasons. Both are big phones but the S22 Ultra is slightly bigger and has the square Note design, I think the Oppo will be more comfortable both in my hand and my pocket. Value, I think the Oppo offers better value, not only do you get the charger in the box, in the UK they giving you a free bundle, of the wireless charger, ear buds, a case and a watch. Charging, I love fast charging and with the 80W Oppo you can charge it from 0 to 50% in about 12 minutes. Battery, one of the reasons I end up changing my phone is after a couple of years the battery degradation, according to Oppo their battery tech allows for up to 1600 charging cycles before it starts to diminish, so the battery should last longer. Some of the great features of the Samsung I'm not too bothered about. The S-Pen, I have a Samsung tablet that I use every day and never use the S-Pen. The amazing zoom camera, nice, but how often do I take zoom pictures, not very often. Pictures in the dark when out for the night more often, and according to Oppo they've really concentrated on night photos and the 5 axis stabilisation and Mari Silicon X NPU really help that. Durability, Samsung has the better Victus glass, but the ceramic back of the Oppo looks great and should be much more durable than glass. I think I prefer ColorOS to One UI, although I like Oneplus's Oxygen OS but I don't think the Oneplus 10 pro can match these two phones. It's tricky, really tricky, as I say, think I'm going for the Oppo, but ask me again in an hour, I might have changed my mind again.
Same I've used both OneUI and ColorOS and ColorOS feels more premium especially the new ColorOS 12, the animations are way smoother and the icons look so much better.
I'm waiting on my oppo find x5 pro to arrive. Currently got the oppo Reno 5g which I've owned for 2 and a half years. The only issue I've had with the phone is the case that it came with is starting to peel at the corners. Apart from that the phone has been brilliant. Still get over a full day out of the original battery and still using the same charger etc.
@@macyoung6634 yeh, that's very true. I didn't like the S22U due to its size and Note like design, so I thought about the S22+ but that was only 8Gb. Also I don't think Samsung's Exynos chip is as good as the 8 Gen-1, it annoys me we can't get the Snapdragon in the UK. Anyway I've got the Find X5 Pro now, really like it, although still getting used to ColorOS after oneplus's OxygenOS which I really liked.
Same here. After a decade of Samsung devices, the Note 8 was than last one then I havepicked Oppo. Gives me the same quality and performance like Samu. Naturally next is x5.
Също и при мен. Последно бях с Самсунг Галакси Ноте3(6,5 години!!) Чаках дълги години да се обновя с нов Ноте, с надеждата че Самсунг ще прекратят с дискриминацията спрямо Европа, доставяйки ни техните устройства с Ексинус... Ползвам от 3 години Oneplus 7T(nice one!) И мога да се похваля, че от няколко месеца ввче ползвам (щастлив) OPPO Find X5 Pro!!
@@plamendun Аз също заради това бойкотирам самсунг от години. Този Oppo X5 find pro бешенединственния телефон в тесния избор. Само че 2Х оптичен зуум и липсващата макро камера наклониха везната към Iphone ( с малко нежелани Apple продукт) 14 pro max. Мисля, че следващата версия на Оppo ще е перфектна през февруари. Още се чудя дали да не откажа Айфона....
I currently have an iPhone 13 having being an iPhone user for years but looking to switch to Android, the OPPO phone really ticks a lot of boxes and looks a more comfortable phone to hold and use, I am disappointed the zoom isnt 10x zoom but I can live without that, I think the OPPO would be more durable then the Samsung, as I dont take a lot of pictures I think I am swaying towards the OPPO
I never use zoom(as picture quality drops while zooming) but Oppo camera stability was terrible in this test. And second thing is software support which is 4 years for sum vs 3 years for Oppo
Not sure if you have upgraded your phone but let me give you a personal review of the Oppo, I own an Oppo Reno for 4 years now and it works like that as a brand new, battery is still great like when I first bought it. Samsung's battery degrades after years of use. I know coz I was a samsung user for so long before turning to Oppo.
I just went for the oppo find x5 Pro and couldn't be happier. Out of interest, when you performed the bench tests, did you have the oppo on "High performance" mode as I recall seeing higher numbers without it being throttled.... Might also explain in the graphics test why you seen the oppo throttling
Il go Samsung for the s-pen but oppo for the fast charging in the box and better spec to price ratio. At the end of the day, I'll choose oppo. It's more closer to my one plus 8 pro, and I honestly hate the fact that Samsung doesn't give you fast charging included.
Oppo swiping their brother OnePlus in the knees and taking their market. But in all things considered Oppo did real well when against the literal best of the best of Android.
Both phones are comparable on every regard, the design remain subjective, the s22 ultra has an overall better camera especially the selfie one, while the oppo has a much faster charging speed. For people that already used a fast charging phone (60w+) going bach to that 45w that charges about same as the 25w is really hard.
For me i love the find x5pro desighn&material ceramic build, so i go for for an oppo , btw i think the new hapric feedback system on oppo is better than the s22U ?
For me the choice is clear but not for the reason you think. About 3 years ago, my wife and I brought a dishwasher direct from Samsung. Consistently and continuously it has broken down every few months. Samsung's technical team are inept, sending 3 different engineers on 3 separate weeks with the wrong parts. They also refused to replace, despite having their own insurance sold by them that says that if it breaks down 3 times, they will. It's currently broken down and has been for 4 months. You heard that right. They haven't even sent an engineer to fix it yet, cos apparently the fool can't find our house. Shocking how everyone else can. The credit card company is refunding us and reclaiming the money from Samsung. Oh and my wife sent in her Z Fold 2 for a battery replacement, it was sent by UPS, who confirmed it was delivered. Samsung claimed they haven't received it and the tracking must be wrong. Couldn't claim against UPS as they proved it was delivered and Samsung refused to do anything. In the end going to court was the only way to get it replaced or refunded, which we did last month. As such, Oppo all the way. My last oppo phone, I dropped and broke the back glass. Sent it into them for repair on the Monday, received back on Friday in perfect condition and fully restored. In truth, that's sealed the deal.
@@user-ft9pc6wj7t True, I'm not dissing the phone. I rather like it. But if a company, not matter how big or small, screws you over repeatedly, why would you continue to give them money for the pleasure of doing so. Samsung's customer service in our experience is hideous and the contempt they hold the customer in, is severe. Factor in losing my wife's phone on top of all the other drama then basically telling us "Tough, buy another" is a good reason to consider my options. Compared to the once I've had to use a Oppo repair being fast, efficient and to a great standard, it makes the choice for me.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 I agree with you but looking at the S22 ultra for what it is, it is the superior which is what this video is about. I couldn't care about anything else, since my money is covered by my bank in the case of any bad practices by customer service
@@user-ft9pc6wj7t I wouldn't say superior, the Oppo is as good, but it has different strengths only missing on by virtue of the the Spen as he says. The zoom is far superior on the S22, the colour balance is better on the X5 Pro, the stabilisation is better on the S22, fine detail is better on the X5 Pro. Battery is pretty much on par, Oppo wins the charging speed, Samsung wins with the S Pen, Oppo wins with the durability, being ceramic, Samsung smashes the screen brightness, Samsung has Dex, Oppo has wireless android auto if your car supports. I've got both in the house, S22 Ultra is my wife's, my Find X5 Pro preorder arrived today. Both exceptional, just depends what you prioritize in a device.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 S22 also better processor performance which is important. Also Samsung being more recognised helps in reselling the phone. The spen is arguably an unquantifiable bonus, I've heard many great things and it's what really sets the phone apart from anything else right now. Also the S22 ultra seems to be sold out in the UK, or there is at least a week of delay... speak for the quality of the phone
Nice video. I found photography better to Oppo and videography better to Samsung. Oppo photo looks more accurate color (due to it saturation, but white balance sometimes off) and Samsung photo looks too much of sharpening. Video stabilization of Samsung was very good, Oppo need step up their video department. But beside of that we must consider that the Oppo price is already included with the charger, and more expensive Samsung is not. Let's see at the 3 or 6 month ahead if they have improvement, especially Oppo if the video stabilization is improved, I think it definitely worth to buy, but participate pre order of Oppo I think is already super worthy.
Mind you, the Oppo Find X5 Pro has the option to pick between the SD 8 Gen 1 or MT Dimensity 9000 chipset. The Dimensity 9000 is the only chipset that comes close to the A15 Bionic in GeekBench. And it outperforms the SD 8 Gen 1 in Antutu. MT has stepped up their game, especially in the flagship/highend realm of things. They decided to go with TSMC like Apple 👌. Either way, if Oppo can match or surpass Samsung in software update support, we might see people make the switch from Samsung to Oppo.
Whenever I see a phone not in a case it scares me, I work in a phone shop and the most common issue I see with old phones with no case is that they have scratches or cracks in them. 😬 Phones are like £1000 today. Just protect them!
I was testing oppo find x5 pro in terms of camera performance and the colours are just incredible. Design also pretty unique. Hopefully will be able to do camera comparison with s22 ultra shortly 😊😀
Great review, found the answer which couldn't be found elsewhere. I like the S22 ultra more (especially for the display), but for cost performance ratio and the fast charging, I think I would choose Find X5 pro.
Stellar review mate! Good to see the S22 Ultra go head to head with something other than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Shame on the scuffs at the back, I'll for sure keep mine in a case for as long as I can. I got a beautiful green so it's a bit sad that I won't be able to enjoy it as much. Thank you for the review!
I'm loving my S22 ultra. I'm honestly always finding uses for the S-Pen. I mostly use it for annotating screenshots and it's just a joy to use in general.
Ever since Huawei fell off, no company in the Android market has come close to challenging Samsung. Huawei were pioneers in many fronts and forced Samsung to keep up, now other companies are trotting behind Samsung trying to catch-up
I knew something like this would happen when the news broke out. It was so obvious to me that Huawei was out of the picture despite their denials and everyone being on their side. And it was obvious that no one would be able to challenge Samsung after they are gone to some extent. But I'm happy that Huawei is almost dead. Those pieces of garbage deserved it.
@@itsmuhammad2305 bro you're happy at their demise at the expense of the industry not evolving. The android market has been stuck for the last 3 or so years. If another powerhouse like Huawei were in the picture, the scenes would've been different. Also Samsung has been stagnant for the past 2 years. Apart from better camera optimization and the S-pen, there really isn't much difference between the S21 Ultra and the S22 ultra
@@anonc5 Until now. I feel Oppo might be the next company to push Samsung. The Oppo Find X5 Pro has similar to better specs aside from the S-Pen. Not only that but, the build quality is even better. Granted, not everyone is a fan of Color OS but, if Oppo can simplify Color OS to something like Oxygen OS, that would really be something. The night time camera on the Oppo has been shown to be better than S22 Ultra and 13 Pro Max.
@@anonc5 there are far more important stuff in life than our favorite toy making companies being competitive. Huawei was a scumbag of a company and I'm happy that those degenerate pieces of trash got fu*ked.
I would go for the Oppo to give other brands a chance especially that it looks futuristic and the white color is so catchy. I'm currently using the oneplus 9 pro and i love it despite the negative reviews. Thanks for the honest comparison though 😀
The OnePlus 10 Pro is good value for money. It is NOT a big step up from the 9 Pro though. The Camera over sharpens so there's nothing you can do post. Stay with the 9 Pro 👍🏽
It's good to see other android flagships going head to head with Samsung's ultra. I'm really curious to see what Asus does next with it's phones (both the Zenfone 9, and RoG 6). But for now, I'm enjoying my pixel 6 pro (minus the iffy battery life).
Oppo Find X2 Pro (yes 2) is still amazing and has periscope zoom. AND full 120hz. Also you can get it for 200-300 bucks. Otherwise go with the samsung or Pixel 6 Pro.
I've just pre ordered my x5 pro. If it feels anywhere near similar to last year's X3 pro it's more comfortable to use than the s22, and the build feels much better. The offset selfie camera is much less intrusive in my opinion, especially whilst watching video, and I prefer how Oppo handles it's photos over Samsung. 65w charging was a life saver for me last year so this year's upgrades make it a no brainer. The find X2 pro was enough for me to break away from apple after 10+ years and had no regrets with that, or the X3 pro. Hopefully I can say the same in a year's time
100% agree with this. The ability to get plenty of juice in a quick 10 minute charge before needing to go out cannot be understated. One of the most important things to consider in my opinion.
Oppo find X2 pro was my first oppo phone and it has taken me away from iphones 100%. I didn't bother with the X3 as in comparison the x2 was still better. Now seeing the x5 I'm pre ordering that, not only is it including a pair of airbuds and a oppo watch as a gift but no doubt it'll be another purchase I don't regret
I purchased the Samsung S22 Ultra and returned it. I found the camera took inconsistent pictures, some lacking sharpness, where my standard S21 performed better. May have been a mistake returning it early but I felt the camera was lacking something given it's price tag.
Great review the oppo is an amazing phone especially for the price. I'm currently using the S22 ultra 512gb 12gb and I absolutely love it got it for a great deal. Upgraded from the S10+ I'm really loving this phone if I had known about the oppo I may have gone with it but Samsung is king for Android. Agree with you on a lot of the review. I made the right decision!! Great review.
sent the Oppo back, came with a software fault plus speakers were not loud enough ,the screen was to narrow and not bright enough outside in sunlight!! got the S22 much better bigger display alot brighter and speakers lounder plus I prefer its user interface job done thanks!!
Find X5 pro has a little better hardware but Samsung has much better software ecosystem/stability/longterm support. Not to mention there are so much accessory available and to-be available for S22U. For Oppo it is not easy just to find a nice case to suit your need. And this year, in my country Samsung is very generous with their pre-order campaign. Big discount with operator plus trade in program. I traded my 2 years old 20+ and end up paying less than half a price.
I moved away from samsung in favour of Oppo. But it was mostly due to my previous phone, I had the S20 ultra and I firmly believe it's the worst phone I've had in many years! So now, no matter how good the S22 is, I will stick with other brands for now
You're missing out on the 22 ultra mate Can vouch. After going through over 50+ phones in the last 3 years. This is the one phone that has my primary sim.
just went for the OPPO way better value with the contract I got vs the cost for a S22 ultra. I would agree the S22ultra is the pinnacle of smart phones atm but the oppo seemed way better bang for buck.
Oppo Find X Pro!!! Looks better! Feels better! Excellent unboxing experience! Everything included in the box! Cough, cough, Apple and Samsung! Better battery/charging! Night browsing is better! No exynos versions! The camera, even though not as potent as the S22 Ultra's, is great! No one is going to be complaining! S22 Ultra is a nice phone, but Oppo has a very appealing offering! When it comes down to it, it just depends on the person. All flagship smartphones are great nowadays! But wait until the Leica enhanced Xiaomi 12 Ultra comes out!🙏🙏🙏
Oppo Find X5 it is. Selfie camera is still quite good and not the most important. It has a slightly better display, on extensive tests a slightly better battery, same audio, more true to life pictures, where the Samsung tends to oversaturate and oversharpen a bit. That can be fine sometimes, but i prefer the more natural look, and you can always sharpen the picture a bit or edit and saturate for a bit more punch or warmer/colder tone. Besides after 1 year the Oppo Find x5 pro is a lot cheaper than the Samsung
Just bought the OPPO find x5 pro, ultimately was swayed by this video. The very few areas the s22 outperforms the x5 are in my opinion completely negated by the countless negative experiences I've had with Samsung over the years.
In my country, Samsung screens are very expensive to repair when it breaks. I personally like superfast charging phones. I also pay a lot of attention to design, and that of Find X5 pro is wonderful. Some reviewers also says that Oppo has better software features. For these three reasons, I go for Oppo Find X5 pro.
I am Egyptian And i like your videos so much And we have something in common that we both get the exynos version But thanks god here in egypt we officially for the first time we got the snapdragon version 🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬
I think the s22 camera is quite a bit better exept for the UW-Sensor. But i almost never use the ultrawide camera, stronger zoom is much more useful to me. Was surprised by the benchmarkes from the Exynos 2200 though
Awesome review. I'm really drawn to the Oppo. Do the retail versions come like that one on the back with just OPPO and Hasselblad written on the back? I saw one on TechSpurt that had shed loads of writing as well like CE cert etc
@@AscensionismBWT ok so if I buy it won't have all that extra crap? Thank heavens for that because it looked awful. For someone who doesn't really require the absolute latest model, how much better would you compare the x5 pro to the X3 Pro? I currently have a Huawei p30 Pro. I would love the p50 pro but I think they still haven't got Google services
@@chrisbee9164 Yeah Huawei probably won’t get access to GMS again, I would choose X5 over X3 if you’re buying new because the prices aren’t too dissimilar and based on the android updates being available/ supported for three years, the X3 will be somewhat outdated or behind in 24/30 months time
В Х3 е превъзходният процесор Снапдрагон 870, който за мен е по-добрият в ежедневното ползване и игри/фото, отколкото 888! За съжаление, Х3 е труден за намиране на пазара... Успех!
Maybe it's just me, but I found S22 Ultra much better in almost every example. Sometimes, even a leap difference in favour of Samsung. In my opinion, they're not really competitors in terms of photo/video - Samsung is just step above. Funnily enough, even the performance of Exynos 2200 was better, not to mention the unique design of Note is a win.
Agree with everything except for design. Thats not unique. Thats basically plain without any design ideas. U dont need to be creative at all to design a S22 ultra. Just a plain rectangular shape with lens without any special design.
Samsung has always been trash for gaming, be it Exynos or Snapdragon, both, Samsung always throttles if temperature crosses 45 degrees Celsius, and neither Oppo nor Oneplus nor Realme throttles even after reaching 45 degrees even after intensive gaming, moreover Color OS is so very well optimized that it never reduces screen brightness while gaming unlike Samsung. Other than that how on earth is Samsung superior in every way compared to Oppo, just because it's Samsung doesn't mean it has to be superior.
Thanks so much for making this 2 comparison. I'm actually planning to buy one of these 2 phones. Both of them are great but after watching your video i think imma go with the S22 ultra
Been using my mum's s22 ultra while my mi 11 ultra was in shop and couldn't believe it. S22 ultra so poor in every area.. camera is terrible! Maybe it's because it's uk version not sure. Even feels cheap in the hand. Spen was ok but even that was cheap and barely any apps for it. Updated it to android 13 while I had it like 2 days ago and noticed no difference. I had a find x2 pro and that felt far better than s22 ultra especially with the camera. Don't trust reviewers seriously.sqmsung well far behind the oppo and Xiaomi. Mi11 ultra far superior so I imagine this oppo be the same thing again
Gonna be Honest in overall Samsung should beat Oppo in normal terms, but Oppo has a greater benefit, you get standard 12 Gig ram, while the S22 has it between 8-12 depending on how big the storage is that you take the bigger the more ram Second, Oppo has 2 Smaller batteries where it does charge extremely fast, but on the opposite the Battery goes faster empty, but it isnt a problem since it has SuperVooc charging 10 minuts can fillup 50% after it it takes another 15 minuts to 100% Oppo has no pen or Dex usage, Dex is something you dont wanna use on a phone i have it on my tablet very usefull but trust me you just don't switch that often to Dex modus, S22 is an upgraded version of the S21 with camera and Pen optimization, the processor is newer but is running on a higher speed compared to the S21, I have to admit that i would personally go with the Oppo, if you don't trust the Oppo go for Samsung great phone, only not a extremely big difference compared to the S21 P. S. Just dont tell me that this and that is better, i have both phones used to the max and i gotta admit that Oppo is running everything and some aspects evenly better so yes i compare both
I'm not impressed with the S22 series, specially the Ultra version. It seems that Xiaomi 12 series, Oppo X5 Pro and S22 series all has awful battery life, Samsung might be the worst it has awful standby time. It's unbelievable that no phone can replicate the battery life of the Mate 20 X 4G(I get 9hr sot on average even after heavy 3 years of abuse on same battery).
Can't believe you didn't mention expert raw on the s22 ultra. It's the best camera system on a phone without a doubt, once you see the results you can get with it you will be blown away
@@thecrypticmystic28 mate firstly I find the colour output, dynamic range and skin tone reproduction from the expert raw app to be miles ahead of the stock app before any edits, but that fact that the raw photos are 16-bit gives you alot of flexibility to edit them in post. I use Snapseed cause it's a great free app, or you can use lightroom for a few pounds a month and probably get even better results (access to community profiles, ect). Best way to learn is to play around with editing the raw photos and watch UA-cam videos for tips and tricks on how to get the most out of the pics. It's such a great phone hey overall I came from the note 10+ and this thing is just next level haha I'll aim to keep it at least 3 years
@@davidbezzant9820 Thanks a lot for your insightful reply. I will play around with as you said. Haha I was also planning to keep the S22U for 3 years 🙌🏻
I have returned my s22 ultra and replaced it with the oppo. I'm very happy with this decision, the Samsung exonys chip is literal trash, I'm not buying Samsung again until I see real improvement
Hello The Tech Chap , great video , me I love Samsung Galaxy s22 , only problem when you put the phone Galaxy s22 on table very noise when you write a txt , like the iPhone 13 pro Max. great video like 8 , have nice week end .
An S22 Ultra with min 256gb is the best smartphone on the market (once it's technical glitches are sorted).......BUT.......they're so expensive. Considering how close the Oppo is, I think I'm going to invest in that instead
I returned my S22 ultra after a week . It was not that smooth and fast i was expected and also had a lot of bugs . Always and always camera lenses needs time for better photos . I used iPhone s 13 pro max till now and I wanted a change. Samsung battery is so so I could finish the day with a full charge. I also bought pixel 6 pro that I enjoyed more then S22 . camera is not as good as samsung but pixel has better battery life and is more smooth and android has faster response. I preorder the Oppo x5 pro but i may cancel just because as Samsung they will be a lot Cheeper in 3-4 months Samsung is not worth the money at the moment. I believe software updates are coming for both phones and the pictures will be a lot better . So on here pictures comparation between those phones doesn't matter .
I've pre ordered the X5 pro price wise that extra ram ,ROM storage and pre order pack (£373) worth of stuff is just to much of draw you get a Kevlar case , the oppo 50 watt wireless charger ,an oppo watch free and finally oppos own enco wireless ear buds all in for the same £1050 cost of the phone or in with the contract at still no charge 🤷
Another comparison where the shutter lag and issues with non-static subjects are completely overlooked. I have both phones and sure for static subjects outdoors they are hard to split but the Oppo is for example is I think better than the S22U for photos of my pets and shutter lag is much better too. YMMV...
The matte glass Samsung have used since the S21 SIGNIFICANT improvement over the yucky shiny glass of before. Looks so much more refined, feels lovely to touch and no fingerprints.
I still own A70 for 3 yrs. I have galaxy tab s8 and galaxy ear buds. Is it fine if i take this oppo cus its different ecosystem.. Or just choose future samsung phones? Really like the x5 pro btw
One of the very best in the business.. one quick one brother - or rather 2 - 1) The Shutter lag 2) The throttling due to the GOS. How was your experience around it? I have never seen a shutter lag in an IPhone or a Pixel or a Sony phone.
The Oppo is a beauty, a real looker and top end, premium but going by even only your photos, the S22 Ultra's Camera is in a whole different league. It holds much more detail in the shadows, highlights and everything in between. Pity that it is actually a Note. They should have named it Galaxy Note XX and made a sleek successor to the S21 Ultra though that one is a hard act to follow, forget better! Probably not a cost effective proposition for Samsung is my guess. It will come, a year down the line, when there is a better processor, camera and a 2160p display! I just bought the S21 Ultra over the 22, as it looks great + the camera is excellent. It's photos can be tweaked considerably, to come pretty close to the S22 Ultra. BBK are going to have to improve their cameras though the OnePlus 10 Pro is great value for money! The Oppo Find X5 Pro is going to be expensive and that lovely body goes into a case so... ? It is however, is just... drop dead gorgeous! And luxurious. Oppolent? 😜 The OS looks okay too. But for the camera, it's up there with the best with those specs! The Camera however, is the deal maker or breaker today.
I'm mad that you didn't talk about Oppo's display in detail. It's one of the best, if not the best in terms of color accuracy, contrast ratio and color gamut. Viewing experience is top notch on the Oppo.
mine S20 ultre - i hate it i hate toasty Exynos ... back to pint mine s20 ultra from box all time in cas got scratches like nothing on all of body :-/ .. so nothing new from samsung
I'm normally a Samsung Knight. I was looking forward to getting the s22 ultra as I have never owned a phone with a S pen. However one day one of using the s22ultra I had to send it back to Samsung due to an error which couldn't be fixed. Even though I was sent a new handset I was worried that there could be another error somewhere down the line in the new handset. So now I have the Oppo x 5 pro
Great review, but I think overall I'd probably pick the Samsung. Another bonus is that you can always walk into a Samsung shop if anything went wrong, but I really like their software and the S pen does come in handy. I was doing a job reference for someone, and I was easily able to sign the document with it just looking like it had been signed by a regular pen using the Note 9.
I bought s22 ultra and switched from oneplus 8pro. I was disappointed and I was so sad why I didn't wait for oneplus 10 pro. When oppo came yesterday I was gonna buy that but after watching your video I realised there's not much difference between them. I'm gonna wait for new oneplus to see how is it.
1. At this level of phone, nobody cares if the phone wobbles on a flat surface. I own the S22 Ultra and if you own this phone it is mandatory that you buy a case. Neither the iPhone Pro Max, the S22 Ultra or the Oppo are designed to be dropped. 2. I have the same black color as you do and my phone has not picked up scratches. Maybe I just baby the phone more. 3. I use a 25 Watt Samsung charger and it will charge my phone from 20% to 85% in a little over 30 minutes. I limit the charge to 85% to save the battery - and that is with the 25 Watt charger. I don't see that as being a long time to charge. 85% will easily provide a full day of heavy use. The S22 Ultra has an automatic setting that stops charging the phone at 85%, which is incredibly convenient. 4. The display on the S22 Ultra display is the best on any current smart phone. Nearly every reviewer confirms this. My S20 Plus display was considered the best available when I bought it, but when I got my first look at the S22 Ultra's display, it literally took my breath away. The S22 Ultra display was that much better than the S20 Plus. 5. Samsung provides amazing trade-in values for its phones. Get this, with T-Mobile, I got the S22 Ultra with 256 GB of memory and 12 GB of RAM for $200.00. It does require a two-year commitment to T-Mobile, but I don't have any plans to change carriers, so this is not an issue. If I had traded my S20 Plus in directly to Samsung, I would have got the same phone for $574.00. The new Samsung Galaxy phones also are starting to get higher resale values. I think they will continue to increase in resale value and will eventually challenge Apple's iPhone for the top resale value.
what about the Samsung s22+ and oppo? I can't really justify the monthly cost of the ultra but I can get the s S22+ and oppo for the same price,but which shall I get? tempted by oppo but I've been a samsung fan boy for years
Hey Chaps! Which phone won??
Oppo Find X5 Pro 🤪
S22 ultra haven't watched the video yet
Camera test is done on the exynos or snapdragon?
s22 ultra
Samsung S22 Ultra... and if you think the oppo looks even comparable to S22 Ultra, you need to get your eyes checked... Oppo feels cheap and childish phone and unsymmetric and wierd
I really like Oppo this year, but i still go for Samsung since it is more versatile and S Pen. Moreover, I'm looking forward to seeing Snapdragon vs Exynos S22 Ultra comparison. However, I also want to see you add processing time between the two after the shorts were taken as well. Really appreciated your work!
Snapdragon vs. Exynos would be really nice! I canceled my order because of the bad benchmarka regarding the Exynos.
@@hdev liar
I'm still undecided whether to get the S22U due to lots of reports of the exynos version stuttering, freezing and lagging.
I got to say my experience with oppo has been fantastic so far
Plus the 12gb ram which can be extended.. it's a win for me..I think Oppo works together with OnePlus for long now
Great video and two great phones. I'm buying one of them but which one, still struggling to decide but think I'm edging towards the Oppo for the following reasons.
Both are big phones but the S22 Ultra is slightly bigger and has the square Note design, I think the Oppo will be more comfortable both in my hand and my pocket.
Value, I think the Oppo offers better value, not only do you get the charger in the box, in the UK they giving you a free bundle, of the wireless charger, ear buds, a case and a watch.
Charging, I love fast charging and with the 80W Oppo you can charge it from 0 to 50% in about 12 minutes.
Battery, one of the reasons I end up changing my phone is after a couple of years the battery degradation, according to Oppo their battery tech allows for up to 1600 charging cycles before it starts to diminish, so the battery should last longer.
Some of the great features of the Samsung I'm not too bothered about. The S-Pen, I have a Samsung tablet that I use every day and never use the S-Pen. The amazing zoom camera, nice, but how often do I take zoom pictures, not very often. Pictures in the dark when out for the night more often, and according to Oppo they've really concentrated on night photos and the 5 axis stabilisation and Mari Silicon X NPU really help that.
Durability, Samsung has the better Victus glass, but the ceramic back of the Oppo looks great and should be much more durable than glass.
I think I prefer ColorOS to One UI, although I like Oneplus's Oxygen OS but I don't think the Oneplus 10 pro can match these two phones.
It's tricky, really tricky, as I say, think I'm going for the Oppo, but ask me again in an hour, I might have changed my mind again.
Same I've used both OneUI and ColorOS and ColorOS feels more premium especially the new ColorOS 12, the animations are way smoother and the icons look so much better.
Why not wait for the 10 ultra
I'm waiting on my oppo find x5 pro to arrive. Currently got the oppo Reno 5g which I've owned for 2 and a half years. The only issue I've had with the phone is the case that it came with is starting to peel at the corners. Apart from that the phone has been brilliant. Still get over a full day out of the original battery and still using the same charger etc.
Also have to consider the price. The 12GB/256GB S22U is ~$200 more expensive than the Oppo Find X5 pro.
@@macyoung6634 yeh, that's very true. I didn't like the S22U due to its size and Note like design, so I thought about the S22+ but that was only 8Gb. Also I don't think Samsung's Exynos chip is as good as the 8 Gen-1, it annoys me we can't get the Snapdragon in the UK. Anyway I've got the Find X5 Pro now, really like it, although still getting used to ColorOS after oneplus's OxygenOS which I really liked.
Changed from Samsung to oppo since the x2 pro came out. So naturally I just bought the x5 pro white and absolutely love it.
Same here. After a decade of Samsung devices, the Note 8 was than last one then I havepicked Oppo. Gives me the same quality and performance like Samu. Naturally next is x5.
Yeah my last Samsung was a s7 edge

I currently have an iPhone 13 having being an iPhone user for years but looking to switch to Android, the OPPO phone really ticks a lot of boxes and looks a more comfortable phone to hold and use, I am disappointed the zoom isnt 10x zoom but I can live without that, I think the OPPO would be more durable then the Samsung, as I dont take a lot of pictures I think I am swaying towards the OPPO
I never use zoom(as picture quality drops while zooming) but Oppo camera stability was terrible in this test. And second thing is software support which is 4 years for sum vs 3 years for Oppo
Not sure if you have upgraded your phone but let me give you a personal review of the Oppo, I own an Oppo Reno for 4 years now and it works like that as a brand new, battery is still great like when I first bought it. Samsung's battery degrades after years of use. I know coz I was a samsung user for so long before turning to Oppo.
I just went for the oppo find x5 Pro and couldn't be happier. Out of interest, when you performed the bench tests, did you have the oppo on "High performance" mode as I recall seeing higher numbers without it being throttled.... Might also explain in the graphics test why you seen the oppo throttling
Il go Samsung for the s-pen but oppo for the fast charging in the box and better spec to price ratio. At the end of the day, I'll choose oppo. It's more closer to my one plus 8 pro, and I honestly hate the fact that Samsung doesn't give you fast charging included.
Oppo swiping their brother OnePlus in the knees and taking their market. But in all things considered Oppo did real well when against the literal best of the best of Android.
@@m4z805 true that
Both phones are comparable on every regard, the design remain subjective, the s22 ultra has an overall better camera especially the selfie one, while the oppo has a much faster charging speed. For people that already used a fast charging phone (60w+) going bach to that 45w that charges about same as the 25w is really hard.
Always s22u..best Android phone ever produced
Oppo has 80w mate...double speed, I wonder why Samsung can't make same shit..only slowest chargers for Samsung!!!
For me i love the find x5pro desighn&material ceramic build, so i go for for an oppo , btw i think the new hapric feedback system on oppo is better than the s22U ?
I chose Oppo. It's better in every way except zoom.
Exactly , and the price is almost in half in comparation with s22ultra
No it isn't lol
For me the choice is clear but not for the reason you think.
About 3 years ago, my wife and I brought a dishwasher direct from Samsung. Consistently and continuously it has broken down every few months. Samsung's technical team are inept, sending 3 different engineers on 3 separate weeks with the wrong parts. They also refused to replace, despite having their own insurance sold by them that says that if it breaks down 3 times, they will. It's currently broken down and has been for 4 months. You heard that right. They haven't even sent an engineer to fix it yet, cos apparently the fool can't find our house. Shocking how everyone else can. The credit card company is refunding us and reclaiming the money from Samsung.
Oh and my wife sent in her Z Fold 2 for a battery replacement, it was sent by UPS, who confirmed it was delivered. Samsung claimed they haven't received it and the tracking must be wrong. Couldn't claim against UPS as they proved it was delivered and Samsung refused to do anything. In the end going to court was the only way to get it replaced or refunded, which we did last month.
As such, Oppo all the way. My last oppo phone, I dropped and broke the back glass. Sent it into them for repair on the Monday, received back on Friday in perfect condition and fully restored. In truth, that's sealed the deal.
It seems like you're finding indirect reasons why one shouldn't go for the S22 Ultra. The CS experience is independent of the quality of the phone.
@@user-ft9pc6wj7t True, I'm not dissing the phone. I rather like it. But if a company, not matter how big or small, screws you over repeatedly, why would you continue to give them money for the pleasure of doing so. Samsung's customer service in our experience is hideous and the contempt they hold the customer in, is severe.
Factor in losing my wife's phone on top of all the other drama then basically telling us "Tough, buy another" is a good reason to consider my options.
Compared to the once I've had to use a Oppo repair being fast, efficient and to a great standard, it makes the choice for me.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 I agree with you but looking at the S22 ultra for what it is, it is the superior which is what this video is about. I couldn't care about anything else, since my money is covered by my bank in the case of any bad practices by customer service
@@user-ft9pc6wj7t I wouldn't say superior, the Oppo is as good, but it has different strengths only missing on by virtue of the the Spen as he says. The zoom is far superior on the S22, the colour balance is better on the X5 Pro, the stabilisation is better on the S22, fine detail is better on the X5 Pro. Battery is pretty much on par, Oppo wins the charging speed, Samsung wins with the S Pen, Oppo wins with the durability, being ceramic, Samsung smashes the screen brightness, Samsung has Dex, Oppo has wireless android auto if your car supports. I've got both in the house, S22 Ultra is my wife's, my Find X5 Pro preorder arrived today. Both exceptional, just depends what you prioritize in a device.
@@sloeginandsleep1170 S22 also better processor performance which is important. Also Samsung being more recognised helps in reselling the phone. The spen is arguably an unquantifiable bonus, I've heard many great things and it's what really sets the phone apart from anything else right now. Also the S22 ultra seems to be sold out in the UK, or there is at least a week of delay... speak for the quality of the phone
Nice video. I found photography better to Oppo and videography better to Samsung. Oppo photo looks more accurate color (due to it saturation, but white balance sometimes off) and Samsung photo looks too much of sharpening. Video stabilization of Samsung was very good, Oppo need step up their video department. But beside of that we must consider that the Oppo price is already included with the charger, and more expensive Samsung is not. Let's see at the 3 or 6 month ahead if they have improvement, especially Oppo if the video stabilization is improved, I think it definitely worth to buy, but participate pre order of Oppo I think is already super worthy.
Mind you, the Oppo Find X5 Pro has the option to pick between the SD 8 Gen 1 or MT Dimensity 9000 chipset. The Dimensity 9000 is the only chipset that comes close to the A15 Bionic in GeekBench. And it outperforms the SD 8 Gen 1 in Antutu. MT has stepped up their game, especially in the flagship/highend realm of things. They decided to go with TSMC like Apple 👌. Either way, if Oppo can match or surpass Samsung in software update support, we might see people make the switch from Samsung to Oppo.
Whenever I see a phone not in a case it scares me, I work in a phone shop and the most common issue I see with old phones with no case is that they have scratches or cracks in them. 😬 Phones are like £1000 today. Just protect them!
I was testing oppo find x5 pro in terms of camera performance and the colours are just incredible. Design also pretty unique. Hopefully will be able to do camera comparison with s22 ultra shortly 😊😀
Great review, found the answer which couldn't be found elsewhere. I like the S22 ultra more (especially for the display), but for cost performance ratio and the fast charging, I think I would choose Find X5 pro.
Stellar review mate! Good to see the S22 Ultra go head to head with something other than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Shame on the scuffs at the back, I'll for sure keep mine in a case for as long as I can. I got a beautiful green so it's a bit sad that I won't be able to enjoy it as much. Thank you for the review!
Clear Case it. That way protected plus enjoy colour. I've got black green and burgundy and I love them.
I'm loving my S22 ultra. I'm honestly always finding uses for the S-Pen. I mostly use it for annotating screenshots and it's just a joy to use in general.
I use it to pee I'm not sure why but it helps
S22ultra is of another level

Ever since Huawei fell off, no company in the Android market has come close to challenging Samsung. Huawei were pioneers in many fronts and forced Samsung to keep up, now other companies are trotting behind Samsung trying to catch-up
I knew something like this would happen when the news broke out.
It was so obvious to me that Huawei was out of the picture despite their denials and everyone being on their side. And it was obvious that no one would be able to challenge Samsung after they are gone to some extent.
But I'm happy that Huawei is almost dead. Those pieces of garbage deserved it.
@@itsmuhammad2305 bro you're happy at their demise at the expense of the industry not evolving. The android market has been stuck for the last 3 or so years. If another powerhouse like Huawei were in the picture, the scenes would've been different. Also Samsung has been stagnant for the past 2 years. Apart from better camera optimization and the S-pen, there really isn't much difference between the S21 Ultra and the S22 ultra
@@anonc5 Until now. I feel Oppo might be the next company to push Samsung. The Oppo Find X5 Pro has similar to better specs aside from the S-Pen. Not only that but, the build quality is even better. Granted, not everyone is a fan of Color OS but, if Oppo can simplify Color OS to something like Oxygen OS, that would really be something. The night time camera on the Oppo has been shown to be better than S22 Ultra and 13 Pro Max.
Oppo is literally better than Samsung right now
@@anonc5 there are far more important stuff in life than our favorite toy making companies being competitive.
Huawei was a scumbag of a company and I'm happy that those degenerate pieces of trash got fu*ked.
I would go for the Oppo to give other brands a chance especially that it looks futuristic and the white color is so catchy. I'm currently using the oneplus 9 pro and i love it despite the negative reviews. Thanks for the honest comparison though 😀
The OnePlus 10 Pro is good value for money. It is NOT a big step up from the 9 Pro though. The Camera over sharpens so there's nothing you can do post. Stay with the 9 Pro 👍🏽

It's good to see other android flagships going head to head with Samsung's ultra.
I'm really curious to see what Asus does next with it's phones (both the Zenfone 9, and RoG 6). But for now, I'm enjoying my pixel 6 pro (minus the iffy battery life).
It's a shame ee don't sell asus
If the region you live in only gets the Exynos variant, I would go for the Oppo since it comes with the 8 Gen 1 and is $200 cheaper.
Oppo Find X2 Pro (yes 2) is still amazing and has periscope zoom. AND full 120hz.
Also you can get it for 200-300 bucks.
Otherwise go with the samsung or Pixel 6 Pro.
I think oppo find x2 pro is the best android phone ，but the battery life is a little small
I've just pre ordered my x5 pro. If it feels anywhere near similar to last year's X3 pro it's more comfortable to use than the s22, and the build feels much better.
The offset selfie camera is much less intrusive in my opinion, especially whilst watching video, and I prefer how Oppo handles it's photos over Samsung.
65w charging was a life saver for me last year so this year's upgrades make it a no brainer.
The find X2 pro was enough for me to break away from apple after 10+ years and had no regrets with that, or the X3 pro. Hopefully I can say the same in a year's time
100% agree with this. The ability to get plenty of juice in a quick 10 minute charge before needing to go out cannot be understated. One of the most important things to consider in my opinion.
Oppo find X2 pro was my first oppo phone and it has taken me away from iphones 100%. I didn't bother with the X3 as in comparison the x2 was still better. Now seeing the x5 I'm pre ordering that, not only is it including a pair of airbuds and a oppo watch as a gift but no doubt it'll be another purchase I don't regret
Oppo X5 Pro type C support HDMI cable( or not )? Thanks
@@ichiiliev798 yes bro...but not as fast as that of s22 ultra which has usb 3.2
I purchased the Samsung S22 Ultra and returned it. I found the camera took inconsistent pictures, some lacking sharpness, where my standard S21 performed better. May have been a mistake returning it early but I felt the camera was lacking something given it's price tag.
Great review the oppo is an amazing phone especially for the price. I'm currently using the S22 ultra 512gb 12gb and I absolutely love it got it for a great deal. Upgraded from the S10+ I'm really loving this phone if I had known about the oppo I may have gone with it but Samsung is king for Android. Agree with you on a lot of the review. I made the right decision!! Great review.
Hey I have an S10+ and starting to feel outdated. Should I go for it
sent the Oppo back, came with a software fault plus speakers were not loud enough ,the screen was to narrow and not bright enough outside in sunlight!! got the S22 much better bigger display alot brighter and speakers lounder plus I prefer its user interface job done thanks!!
Find X5 pro has a little better hardware but Samsung has much better software ecosystem/stability/longterm support.
Not to mention there are so much accessory available and to-be available for S22U. For Oppo it is not easy just to find a nice case to suit your need.
And this year, in my country Samsung is very generous with their pre-order campaign. Big discount with operator plus trade in program. I traded my 2 years old 20+ and end up paying less than half a price.
I moved away from samsung in favour of Oppo. But it was mostly due to my previous phone, I had the S20 ultra and I firmly believe it's the worst phone I've had in many years! So now, no matter how good the S22 is, I will stick with other brands for now

Oppo Find X Pro!!! Looks better! Feels better! Excellent unboxing experience! Everything included in the box! Cough, cough, Apple and Samsung! Better battery/charging! Night browsing is better! No exynos versions! The camera, even though not as potent as the S22 Ultra's, is great! No one is going to be complaining! S22 Ultra is a nice phone, but Oppo has a very appealing offering! When it comes down to it, it just depends on the person. All flagship smartphones are great nowadays! But wait until the Leica enhanced Xiaomi 12 Ultra comes out!🙏🙏🙏
No global release I understand.
Oppo Find X5 it is. Selfie camera is still quite good and not the most important. It has a slightly better display, on extensive tests a slightly better battery, same audio, more true to life pictures, where the Samsung tends to oversaturate and oversharpen a bit. That can be fine sometimes, but i prefer the more natural look, and you can always sharpen the picture a bit or edit and saturate for a bit more punch or warmer/colder tone. Besides after 1 year the Oppo Find x5 pro is a lot cheaper than the Samsung
I would say Samsung is technical better(stabilisation, zoom) and the Oppo has, at least sometimes, nicer colours.
Just bought the OPPO find x5 pro, ultimately was swayed by this video.
The very few areas the s22 outperforms the x5 are in my opinion completely negated by the countless negative experiences I've had with Samsung over the years.
In my country, Samsung screens are very expensive to repair when it breaks. I personally like superfast charging phones. I also pay a lot of attention to design, and that of Find X5 pro is wonderful. Some reviewers also says that Oppo has better software features. For these three reasons, I go for Oppo Find X5 pro.
Aaaand he made a conclusion and gave his own overall opinion. Something a lot of other youtubers struggle with 😊

Where can I get the Wallpaper you have on your S22?
Maybe it's just me, but I found S22 Ultra much better in almost every example. Sometimes, even a leap difference in favour of Samsung.
In my opinion, they're not really competitors in terms of photo/video - Samsung is just step above.
Funnily enough, even the performance of Exynos 2200 was better, not to mention the unique design of Note is a win.
Agree with everything except for design. Thats not unique. Thats basically plain without any design ideas. U dont need to be creative at all to design a S22 ultra. Just a plain rectangular shape with lens without any special design.
Samsung has always been trash for gaming, be it Exynos or Snapdragon, both, Samsung always throttles if temperature crosses 45 degrees Celsius, and neither Oppo nor Oneplus nor Realme throttles even after reaching 45 degrees even after intensive gaming, moreover Color OS is so very well optimized that it never reduces screen brightness while gaming unlike Samsung. Other than that how on earth is Samsung superior in every way compared to Oppo, just because it's Samsung doesn't mean it has to be superior.

Thanks so much for making this 2 comparison. I'm actually planning to buy one of these 2 phones. Both of them are great but after watching your video i think imma go with the S22 ultra
You chose... poorly
Bad decision
Great choice
Great decision bro,,best phone ever produced..only s23 ultra can beat s22 ultra
isnt the find x5 pro now having a higher anantu benchmark score than the ultra?
with Performance mode, Yes.
Been using my mum's s22 ultra while my mi 11 ultra was in shop and couldn't believe it. S22 ultra so poor in every area.. camera is terrible! Maybe it's because it's uk version not sure. Even feels cheap in the hand. Spen was ok but even that was cheap and barely any apps for it. Updated it to android 13 while I had it like 2 days ago and noticed no difference. I had a find x2 pro and that felt far better than s22 ultra especially with the camera. Don't trust reviewers seriously.sqmsung well far behind the oppo and Xiaomi. Mi11 ultra far superior so I imagine this oppo be the same thing again
Gonna be Honest in overall Samsung should beat Oppo in normal terms, but Oppo has a greater benefit, you get standard 12 Gig ram, while the S22 has it between 8-12 depending on how big the storage is that you take the bigger the more ram
Second, Oppo has 2 Smaller batteries where it does charge extremely fast, but on the opposite the Battery goes faster empty, but it isnt a problem since it has SuperVooc charging 10 minuts can fillup 50% after it it takes another 15 minuts to 100%
Oppo has no pen or Dex usage, Dex is something you dont wanna use on a phone i have it on my tablet very usefull but trust me you just don't switch that often to Dex modus,
S22 is an upgraded version of the S21 with camera and Pen optimization, the processor is newer but is running on a higher speed compared to the S21,
I have to admit that i would personally go with the Oppo, if you don't trust the Oppo go for Samsung great phone, only not a extremely big difference compared to the S21
P. S. Just dont tell me that this and that is better, i have both phones used to the max and i gotta admit that Oppo is running everything and some aspects evenly better so yes i compare both
I'm not impressed with the S22 series, specially the Ultra version.
It seems that Xiaomi 12 series, Oppo X5 Pro and S22 series all has awful battery life, Samsung might be the worst it has awful standby time.
It's unbelievable that no phone can replicate the battery life of the Mate 20 X 4G(I get 9hr sot on average even after heavy 3 years of abuse on same battery).
Absolutely for the Oppo
It's very fest beautiful design, and Powerfull SD serie 8 gen1
what about the AR emojis? not sure why these features aren't mentioned as much in reviews and comparison videos.
I will take the oppo hands down. You didn't say anything about the weight though.
Definitely s22ultra much more bang for the buck especially with camera and display oppo still stuck in 2019 with a 2x optical zoom

Always and always camera lenses needs time for better photos . I used iPhone s 13 pro max till now and I wanted
a change.
Samsung battery is so so I could finish the day with a full charge. I also bought pixel 6 pro that I enjoyed more then S22 .
camera is not as good as samsung but pixel has better battery life and is more smooth and android has faster response.
I preorder the Oppo x5 pro but i may cancel just because as Samsung they will be a lot Cheeper in 3-4 months
Samsung is not worth the money at the moment.
I believe software updates are coming for both phones and the pictures will be a lot better .
So on here pictures comparation between those phones doesn't matter .
Which version snapdragon or Exynos?
For selfies, just enjoy GCam port 😎 it will transform your camera experience
I've pre ordered the X5 pro price wise that extra ram ,ROM storage and pre order pack (£373) worth of stuff is just to much of draw you get a Kevlar case , the oppo 50 watt wireless charger ,an oppo watch free and finally oppos own enco wireless ear buds all in for the same £1050 cost of the phone or in with the contract at still no charge 🤷
where are you getting these extras, direct from Oppo?
Another comparison where the shutter lag and issues with non-static subjects are completely overlooked. I have both phones and sure for static subjects outdoors they are hard to split but the Oppo is for example is I think better than the S22U for photos of my pets and shutter lag is much better too. YMMV...
The matte glass Samsung have used since the S21 SIGNIFICANT improvement over the yucky shiny glass of before. Looks so much more refined, feels lovely to touch and no fingerprints.
I still own A70 for 3 yrs. I have galaxy tab s8 and galaxy ear buds.
Is it fine if i take this oppo cus its different ecosystem..
Or just choose future samsung phones?
Really like the x5 pro btw
The Oppo gives you a cleaner look as well as a CHARGER! I think Samsung has missed the mark by not including the charging brick.
I already got the s22 ultra but this was an interesting comparison nonetheless, very good video mate!
Yup, Daniel said with maybe green color, for some reason, it doesn't scratch that easy.
One of the very best in the business.. one quick one brother - or rather 2 -
1) The Shutter lag
2) The throttling due to the GOS.
How was your experience around it? I have never seen a shutter lag in an IPhone or a Pixel or a Sony phone.
I just wished that centralized selfie-camera punch hole was the norm. I just can't ignore the lack of symmetry on the screen
Left punch hole keeps it out of the way with video/games.
The oppo wins it for me the exynos chip in the UK version v the Snapdragon in the oppo and the 80w charger in the box
Hey which phone do you recommend after the Samsung galaxy a71? Same performance and price
Ps I am a gamer
And the Samsung only goes down to 48hz , not 1 Hz . Samsung released this information about two weeks ago .
...and the (much) longer Samsung software support??
The Oppo is a beauty, a real looker and top end, premium but going by even only your photos, the S22 Ultra's Camera is in a whole different league. It holds much more detail in the shadows, highlights and everything in between. Pity that it is actually a Note. They should have named it Galaxy Note XX and made a sleek successor to the S21 Ultra though that one is a hard act to follow, forget better! Probably not a cost effective proposition for Samsung is my guess. It will come, a year down the line, when there is a better processor, camera and a 2160p display! I just bought the S21 Ultra over the 22, as it looks great + the camera is excellent. It's photos can be tweaked considerably, to come pretty close to the S22 Ultra. BBK are going to have to improve their cameras though the OnePlus 10 Pro is great value for money! The Oppo Find X5 Pro is going to be expensive and that lovely body goes into a case so... ? It is however, is just... drop dead gorgeous! And luxurious. Oppolent? 😜 The OS looks okay too. But for the camera, it's up there with the best with those specs! The Camera however, is the deal maker or breaker today.
With the Oppo you get a brick, earbuds , cases, a smartwatch and a wireless charger.. that makes a big difference..
I'm mad that you didn't talk about Oppo's display in detail. It's one of the best, if not the best in terms of color accuracy, contrast ratio and color gamut. Viewing experience is top notch on the Oppo.
Very similar but think I'd go for Oppo, it's cheaper with more memory & the charger in the box.
Just found your channel, absolutly addicted to it! Keep it up!
Both phones are good, but just not worth the money you are going to spend. I waiting for a Ssmsung phone with 4K resolution screen.
mine S20 ultre - i hate it i hate toasty Exynos ... back to pint mine s20 ultra from box all time in cas got scratches like nothing on all of body :-/ .. so nothing new from samsung
Social media capability of the Samsung , nobody mention this , Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram using the Samsung cámara
No doubt s22 ultra is best.But it is a big phone for daily use.
I'm normally a Samsung Knight. I was looking forward to getting the s22 ultra as I have never owned a phone with a S pen. However one day one of using the s22ultra I had to send it back to Samsung due to an error which couldn't be fixed. Even though I was sent a new handset I was worried that there could be another error somewhere down the line in the new handset. So now I have the Oppo x 5 pro
Would the oppo be a good upgrade on my s20 ultra?
Definately YES!
Great review, but I think overall I'd probably pick the Samsung. Another bonus is that you can always walk into a Samsung shop if anything went wrong, but I really like their software and the S pen does come in handy. I was doing a job reference for someone, and I was easily able to sign the document with it just looking like it had been signed by a regular pen using the Note 9.
I bought s22 ultra and switched from oneplus 8pro. I was disappointed and I was so sad why I didn't wait for oneplus 10 pro. When oppo came yesterday I was gonna buy that but after watching your video I realised there's not much difference between them. I'm gonna wait for new oneplus to see how is it.
Tech champ I have been enjoying your review for some years now
1. At this level of phone, nobody cares if the phone wobbles on a flat surface. I own the S22 Ultra and if you own this phone it is mandatory that you buy a case. Neither the iPhone Pro Max, the S22 Ultra or the Oppo are designed to be dropped.
2. I have the same black color as you do and my phone has not picked up scratches. Maybe I just baby the phone more.
3. I use a 25 Watt Samsung charger and it will charge my phone from 20% to 85% in a little over 30 minutes. I limit the charge to 85% to save the battery - and that is with the 25 Watt charger. I don't see that as being a long time to charge. 85% will easily provide a full day of heavy use. The S22 Ultra has an automatic setting that stops charging the phone at 85%, which is incredibly convenient.
4. The display on the S22 Ultra display is the best on any current smart phone. Nearly every reviewer confirms this. My S20 Plus display was considered the best available when I bought it, but when I got my first look at the S22 Ultra's display, it literally took my breath away. The S22 Ultra display was that much better than the S20 Plus.
5. Samsung provides amazing trade-in values for its phones. Get this, with T-Mobile, I got the S22 Ultra with 256 GB of memory and 12 GB of RAM for $200.00. It does require a two-year commitment to T-Mobile, but I don't have any plans to change carriers, so this is not an issue. If I had traded my S20 Plus in directly to Samsung, I would have got the same phone for $574.00. The new Samsung Galaxy phones also are starting to get higher resale values. I think they will continue to increase in resale value and will eventually challenge Apple's iPhone for the top resale value.
Oppo colour OS has a performance mode toggle in the settings.. please turn that on before running the benchmark..
Samsung's insistence on not implementing aptX HD & Adaptive codecs in their models is the deal breaker for me. Oppo wins it for me for having aptX HD.
Something wrong with your Find X5 Pro, mine is pretty stable recording 4k 60FPS using it's ultrawide camera
gonna go with oppo this year. Had my s21 ultra for 8 month and it's crap. Bloated with Samsung and just poor
Just say it, the S22 Ultra is a better phone. Great review as usual
what about the Samsung s22+ and oppo? I can't really justify the monthly cost of the ultra but I can get the s
S22+ and oppo for the same price,but which shall I get? tempted by oppo but I've been a samsung fan boy for years
