Ice Universe says the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have continuous zoom 3x and 10x cameras

10 September 2021
They will also get slightly larger 12 MP sensors. The main sensor will stick with the 108 MP, 0.8 µm formula.

I've been watching a lot of the speculated hype amd leaks on the internet. Essentially as far as I can fathom, this is going to be S21 Ultra with a more sleek design and integrated S-Pen. Basically these 2X Ultra range of handsets are replacing the note series.

The things I like about it are the recessed camera lenses meaning things are more flush. The lenses are essentially the same which similar or identical focal lengths and F-Stop values. The added AI to the full sensor 108 Megapixel sensor should be good at producing more colourful pixel binned images. No mobile camera on the market over 20 Megapixels does this without pixel binning.

As for GPU performance I would take a slight upgrade in gaming performance and better efficiency over faster GPU and less battery efficiency. Anything you play now will not be better noticably, Numbers on synthetic bendchmarks mean absolutely squat all in the real world. The high performance placebo has taken many of us for a ride.

Currently I own the S21 Ultra and see no real reason for me to upgrade so soon. Coming from an earlier S model or even Note I could see some major benefits. What would really sell it for me is if they could add Expert RAW as part of the main camera application so you have a more fluid experience using the camera.

The colour calibtaion modes could be increased to profiles for Cinematic HD, Natural (Display P3) and sRGB (8-bit) for power saving. I realise these are advanced options but on the top-flight option these can be more use.

Perhaps they could (Samsung) could develop USB-C thum drives which can be used as external storage if you need extra space for larger files. For further copy options you could convert the C to an A plug for transfer to other devices.

OK maybe this is nonsense or I need to take a chill pill. I just feel people in some cases are not looking at the potential here.

Also, we should keep in mind that energy efficiency has always been superior on A-series chips (twice as high in many tests) even when the performance seems to be comparable.

          Ice universe has also found evidence of the next generation Galaxy Note..!

              Sadly they will never, ever reach the high premium quality of Apple products.

                And I'm not an Apple fan - my current phone is the Galaxy Note 8.

                  instead of two low quality zoom cameras, they should stick with one with higher quality and bigger sensor size and maybe it will be usable in low light unlike this year

                        In the real world, it was a thermal throttling nightmare which was getting beaten by Snapdragon 865

                          I know, this is off topic, but it seems next year a Note 20 successor is coming! :) A well known leakster has said this.
