    They all said I was wrong and Samsung will make SD chips global. But I was right, they are as cheap as ever and we know for a fast their chip can never beat a good beefy SD CPU.
    I also don't get their latest cameras as one mentioned, my Note 4 (with exynos) takes pictures so good I can compare them to a note 9!!!
    They just don't even try now, much like apple.
    I will wait for a reasonably priced xiaomi with OIS and optical zoom.

      Someone should put these camera modules in smaller phones as well...
      They are great, but I will never need anything more than 6", but if it is 5", then it is even better :D

        Smartphone Technology has still a long way to go, before it can start beating ILCs (DSLRs and Mirrorless), and it will, regardless, eventually beat ILCs. The right sensor size range, the ideal pixel size range, the minimum readout speeds, the minimum bit depth for the sensor as well as the final image, the minimum number of frames for HDR, the minimum quality of lens sharpness and resolving power per nanometer of surface area, the minimum quality of light dispersion by lens costing, new CFAs, improvements in Computational Photography Algorithms while taking the photo as well as after the photo has been taken, ideal f-stop range depending on various parameters, smaller and much sharper lens modules, even better OIS, etc will be huge governing factors for improving photo and video quality way above the levels they already are.

          The upgraded likely are : Better chip , Better Battery life , Spen in the body and 2ms response time , Better cameras ,faster charging , Square design and Better and a brighter screen.

            Same set up,same screen, same size, guess they just placed a new processor and called it a new phone..image processing will be better though..
            However I am still more excited about mi 12 ultra or huawei’s upcoming camera setup..those guys are pushing the limits without them, Sammy and the fruit will never make any improvements..those Chinese companies; only if step up their game on the software side, since they have the best hardware around then good luck fanboys..

                cant speak about processing but S21 Ultra does take much better pictures, could just be the sensor.

                Night mode, portrait mode are way better than what I used to get on S9.


                  I'm not going to hold my breath against this. I'll just wait until the full review of the S22 Ultra comes in.

                    That said, the sensors and lenses doesn't have to be the same just because the MP numbers are the same.

                      whereas the photography is the focus, buy 1 inch sensor camera, its a phone, a flagship smartphone that requires
                      - huge battery at least 10,000 mAh
                      - dedicated highest speed microxd plug
                      - 3.5 mm audio jack
                      - infra red transmitter receiver
                      - stylus attached
                      - full screen display, no rounded bezel, no cut out
                      - amoled 144 hz 4k
                      - under display fast fingerprint scanner

                      what so hard to put that all together in flagship smartphone? instead samsung proudly dismantle all the equipment that makes flagship become mediocore non sense

                        Frankly care a hoot ... never liked samsung phones. it is joke they price their flagships so high when they are not worth even half the money. They were always follower as company and never a leader also frankly Samsung has zero brand personality. They neither look premium like Apple nor intelligent phones like pixel. i think beyond Apple, it was HTC that commanded real respect as phone company before going into oblivion. in new phones, pixels can be the viable alternative to apple provided they work on availability to start with.

                                they were no breaktrough so what possibly expect to have THAT much better quality? :D

                                  You'd hope that the newer model would be BETTER than the old one. It makes sense, doesn't it.

                                    Anonymous, 17 Dec 2021Bigger sensor doesn't mean better photography/output. ... moreFunny that the 📸 that provide the highest quality are those with medium format sensor with over 100MP.
                                    Medium format can be over 2000mm2 area ( full frame is below 900mm2).

                                    The best can is Fuji GFX 100s = medium format, 102MP, 2.91 micron

                                    By the way, good luck getting out of a Panasonic GH5s (4/3 sensor + 4.63 micron) better photo against Sony A7r4 ( Full frame 3.76 micron )

                                      And you still don't know pixel 6 and IPhone 13 pro had a good and reasonable score
                                      So this makes me apple fan and pixel enjoyer?
                                      Don't be blind
                                      Samsung isn't paying you
                                      And defending Samsung won't make your flip phone better
