Hey guys, thanks for watching! I’m thinking of doing an S22 Ultra real world test video see how it all performs. Most likely the beginning of 2025. Let me know if you’d like to see that sort of video and subscribe so you don’t miss it 😉😁
What most people don't observe is that because of the wider form factor ...s22 s23 s24 ultras are the only phones with really large screen real estate ...tall phones offer 6.8 inches diagonally but the real usable screen in most modern flagships is significantly lesser than the note and the s series {s22 onwards ) ... Using the wider screen is a really gaming changing experience....once you use the wide screen of the s22 ultra ...no other phone is going to give you the same satisfaction. It is especially useful for using split screens and spen

I challenge somebody to put the s24 ultra s23 old truck next to the s22 or any iPhone display next to the s22 ultra and tell me that it's any better this phone is awesome it's still functions just as fast the camera still has the great camera where you can take those moon pictures and it takes great pictures sometimes a little too vibrant for me but that's any Samsung camera You're going to get that with any Samsung phone so that has nothing to do with this phone and it's just one of the greatest phones ever created by any company it's just an awesome phone I think it's the standard by which ultras should be judged
I dont know why many people prefer the s21 U design. For me it looked outdated when it first came out. S22 U onwards the S series looks as good as iphones in my opinion.
@@ashdoestech mann lucky u, there are many people in my country (Vietnam) bought the phone and encountered the overheating issue plus the 120hz refresh rate killed the screen. Thats why I was kind of hesitant and grab the Note 20 Ultra instead
I've had my S22U for 2 years now. I'm not a big gamer - some daily word puzzles, general reading, listening to some music services, etc. I use the Anker 45 watt charger. Full charge for a little over 24 hours is 80%. I don't understand why there is so much animosity attached to the use of this phone. I plan on sticking with this at least until the S25U hits the market. When that happens, I don't plan on jumping ship right away. The camera is beautiful. I normally don't take a lot of pictures because the 512GB storage is not sufficient for me. I have a truck load of music on there. I need the 1TB model. In a nutshell, it’s the best Samsung phone I've ever owned. (Captivate, GS4, GS9, GS10)
Of course you wouldn't use the phone much Because of your age! I use my S20 Ultra ALOT for gaming, taking pictures and social media and I'm enjoying 128GB of space(Obviously Snapdragon chip) I can't wait to upgrade to the S22U or S23U I'm very picky lol
Had the s22 ultra since 6 months of release. Was kind of disappointed that the SD card slot was removed but runs perfect. I don't see any purpose in upgrading, as the newer Samsungs seem to be nearly identical (kind of like upgrading from a 2021 Toyota Camry to a 2023 Toyota Camry). Some people even compliment the look of my phone, even when showing them a normal video on my phone.
I've never had a problem getting through my days with the s22 ultra, and that including gaming for 2-3 hours as well as normal use. When the battery gets low, put that battery saver on, or extreme battery saver will use only what you need and still get you another day of just texting and calling. Beast of a phone.
Could you please help me by telling how I can change the screen on my phone when I push the on /off button. Not the wallpaper or home scree or lock screen. Thanks for your help.
My s22ultra has some problems , a white stuff appeared on the screen and the network on the phone is no longer working ,it shows emergency calls only . Am I the only one with this issue?
I have read that the the connectors on the USB port that the network antenna connects to tend to break easily, so replacing the USB port and/or the antenna (whichever is broken) fixes the network problem. Apparently the parts and repair are not too difficult to do, nor very expensive to have done by a repair shop.
Just paid 270 for mine in a reddy orange colour off 4gadgets,exynos 128gb.Shocking how much the value has went down,it’s still a very capable phone and the updates have improved it,it should get android 16.
I agree. It’s always been a 2 year or so old phone were forgotten about. I guess now that software updates are getting better on phones, they stay relevant for longer 🤷♂️
S22 ultra was and is still absolutely a beast of a phone and does anything I need it to do and plays games even the pixel 9 pro xl won't on ultra and high settings. Trust me, I have both lol. Thought I was upgrading to the pixel 9... little did I know, the s22 ultra is still honestly better in almost every way, besides slightly, and very slightly in the camera department.
As someone who's used both the S21U & S22U, there wasn't a huge difference. I think even with the S23U everyday use probably won't be much different, except the battery life should be a lot better than the S21U.
The only grip I have is they put the s pen on the left instead of the right. Major pain for right handers. But unlike the S21 at least they built it in.
I used to update every 3 to 6 months with LG and Samsung in the iPhones back and forth with jump onto man at T-Mobile but I'm still rocking the s22 ultra to this day I've kept it this long there's just no reason to switch I used to switch but the 23 ultra and the 24 I'm so used to the curve display that flat display on the 24 ultra I didn't like it when I went and looked at it I wouldn't there's just no reason to upgrade this phone is still a top of the line flagship
still rocking the 22ultra 1tb 2 years on just had the latest update the new AI features made it even better.. i shall hold on to it for at least another 2 years once it hits android 16 i will think about the latest model..
@@vitalsaxon_ many samsung users are experiencing green line issue or their screens esp after a software update. not sure if samsung already fixed the issue
Thank you for this honest review! I bought mine last month and I am very happy with it, it checks all the boxes for my usage, except battery life, that's a bit mediocre. Build is superb, display is fantastic, just as the cameras!! Performance is on par with all the flagships nowadays, so my user experience leaves really nothing to desire!
Is it possible to use an external microfone when recording videos? Im using a rode wireless but it needs a 3,5 jack. And how about Esim, is it compatible? Thanks!
My Galaxy S21 Ultra's screen cracked a few weeks ago, & its basically done. Ive been using my wife's old S21+ for the couple weeks & I was going to just keep using it, but I can't download the DJI Fly App on the 21+. I fly DJI Drones almost daily & I need that app on my phone, for drone updates & such. So I just ordered a sealed New S22 Ultra for $390 shipped. I loved my S21 Ultra, So hopefully the S22 Ultra is as good as the S21 ultra.
I'm still using one with Exynos chip inside, but battery is just not too good for me. I usually need to charge if I'm on 5G. Everything else is still great.
I'm probably gonna get a refurbished one of these in 1-2 years. I had to switch from an s21 ultra to a pixel 7 because of family plan issues. I've been pretty unhappy with the pixel 7 and I often just use it as a wifi hotspot machine to use the s21 instead.
One plus 12 hands down, my battery life on my s22 ultra is not very good, and honestly the performance is very poor in certain apps. Snapdragon 8 gen 1 was a pretty poor chip, power hungry, and lags on some apps for me.
Battery wore out faster than i expected. I use it 10hr a day for work. Charging port broke just like last s22 and s21. Phones to expensive for what it does. Camera is fantastic.
iPhone user. Have to buy the S22 until the IPhone 17 comes out. The iPhone 16 sux and I’ve waited years with my IPhone 8 that’s on its last legs. I’ll get a refurbished one on EBay for around $500AU.
Awesome video man! You've got great screen presence, great recording. My only advice is transitioning the intro a bit better, You cut yourself out at the beginning with audio lol Anyway, thanks. Think I might go with the ultra for now, its cheap-ish through my provider. Cheers!
Thanks! Not 100% sure what you mean on the intro bit. I might just be being thick, it's been a long day haha! Glad you enjoyed the video! Did you go for it in the end? Thanks!
@@ashdoestech Lol no, I totally understand. It's just after your channel intro @0:24, sorry I wasn't clear. When it transitions into you, the intro audio is a bit heavy and cuts out sharply, so when you started speaking it was a bit abrupt. I could initially hear you but it still cuts you out a bit. Just looking out :D Overall great video! And I haven't yet, just moved the last few days so I'll be researching a bit more. Any suggestions for a decent mid-range phone?
