00:00It's been 19 months since the Galaxy S22 Ultra was officially launched, so I think
00:07it is a great time to review it, to make an updated review on this phone, to find out
00:13if it's still worth it.
00:15As always, we're going to start by talking a little bit about the exterior design, which
00:19as you can see is quite similar to the latest model, to the S23 Ultra, besides a very small
00:25shape difference on the side edges to make it more ergonomic.
00:29I've already said this many times, but I'll say it again, this is the most beautiful design
00:34that Samsung has ever created for one of their phones.
00:37It is very, very, very good looking.
00:40The only bad thing that I can say about it is that it's not the most ergonomic as I said.
00:45It is 6.8 inches and very pointy squared edges, so unless you're Shaquille O'Neal, you're
00:51100% going to have to use it with two hands.
00:54Then in terms of the internal components, it obviously has the best of the best.
00:59More specifically, the Snapdragon 8th generation 1 optimized for the S22 Ultra.
01:05Pay close attention, this is not the normal 8th gen 1 like the rest of normal phones.
01:10It has a version of this processor customized specifically to take the most advantage out
01:15of the phone.
01:16So of course, it is as fast as it gets in the Android game.
01:21So yeah, it's kind of a phone for the long run.
01:23You're supposed to buy it and use it for like four or five years.
01:26That's kind of the purpose of having so much power that you can have it for so, so, so
01:30long without losing that premium fast phone feeling experience.
01:35But anyways, let's move on to talk about the battery, which I'm not very excited about
01:42the battery.
01:43It is not the best battery I've ever seen, and there's a couple things that you should
01:46know about it.
01:47But first, before we talk about the battery, there's something more important, and it's
01:51that right now this phone has an amazingly low price on Amazon.
01:56I've never seen it so low ever.
01:58So if at the end of the video you decide you want to buy it, I left a direct link in the
02:02description because as I said, very low price.
02:05It is very worth it to just at least take a look.
02:08But anyways, back to the battery, which as I said, it's not the most exciting part of
02:13this phone.
02:14As you can see in this comparison, it has worse battery life than the S23, the S23 plus
02:19the S23 Ultra, which doesn't, it makes it not look so great.
02:24I have to say in the S22 Ultra defense that all of these other phones have insanely good
02:30battery lives.
02:31So even though the S22 Ultra is a little bit behind, it doesn't mean it has better, bad
02:36battery life.
02:37It just means it is not as insanely good as those other phones.
02:40But still, if we compare it to like an iPhone or two other phones, it's very, very good.
02:45But anyways, let's move on to talk about the display, which is insanely good, beyond good
02:52on this phone, because my friends, the display on this phone has everything and everything
02:58is everything.
02:59120 Hertz with an LTPO panel that varies that refresh rate from 120 to one Hertz, 1750 nits
03:07of brightness and extremely thin frames.
03:10On top of, of course, the highest end panel available.
03:14And when I say the highest end panel available, it's not just me hyping it up.
03:19It is literally the best panel you can put on any phones.
03:22Well, you can't really do it because Samsung makes those panels and they're not going to
03:26sell them to Apple or any other company.
03:28They want their phones to have the best of the best.
03:31So right now, the best display on any phone is the S22 Ultra or the S23 Ultra, which share
03:38that panel.
03:39And for those who have had this phone in their hands, you know what I'm talking about.
03:42It looks insanely good.
03:47And finally, it is time to talk about the most important component or well components
03:52on this phone, all the cameras, because this phone has a lot of cameras.
03:57It has a 108 megapixel main lens.
03:59It has two 10 megapixel zoom lenses, a 3x and a 10x.
04:04And of course it has the beloved classic 12 megapixel ultra wide.
04:08All of these cameras are very, very good.
04:10They all are in some way or another, an upgrade over the old generation S21 Ultra.
04:16But I would say the most important upgrade we've seen is on the main camera, which is
04:22the one I'm using to record this video.
04:23It has a huge sensor, a lot of megapixels as you saw.
04:27So it captures a lot of light, a lot of detail.
04:30It's very, very sharp.
04:31But anyways, I know most of you care about the photos, not the video.
04:35So I'm going to show you a bunch of photos from all the four cameras zooming in so you
04:39can see the small details.
04:40And then I'll come back to talk about the fifth camera, which is the selfie camera.
04:45Let's go.
06:05Okay, so those were all of the main cameras on these phone.
06:29As you saw, the better looking photos came from the main sensor, as I said.
06:33Then I think the ultra wide is a close, very close second.
06:38And then we have the zoom cameras, which are not as good looking as the other two, but
06:43are very versatile because we have two focal lengths.
06:46We have a 3x and a 10x, which is very handy for people who like to take photos.
06:50And last but not least, of course, we have the selfie camera, which is the worst out
06:54of all of them.
06:55Of course, it is a very tiny sensor, very tiny optics.
06:59So it's it's impossible to make it look as cinematic to give it as much a dynamic range
07:06as the other cameras because of physics, you know, you can't make a gamer look big when
07:11it's tiny.
07:12But even then, it looks very, very good.
07:14I wouldn't say it's a massive upgrade over the S22 Ultra or sorry, S21 Ultra.
07:19But I would say it's, it is very good.
07:22It is on the high end of selfie cameras right now.
07:24So you're not going to be disappointed, I guess you're it's going to be definitely going
07:27to be way better than the one you have right now, unless you have the S21 Ultra.
07:31So yeah, adding up all of these points, the very good processor, the decent battery life,
07:36the very good display and very good camera system for the same price as an iPhone 12.
07:43I think it is insanely worth it to get an S22 Ultra unless you have a lot of money,
07:49you want to get the best of the best, which in that case, I recommend you go for the S23
07:53Ultra.
07:55This is it.
07:56If you're looking for an Android phone that's very good, but you don't want to break the
07:59bank and go beyond a thousand bucks, this is it.
08:03This is it.
08:04S22 Ultra.
08:05Remember, you have a direct link in the description to Amazon for the best price available right
08:11now.
