It would be fair that on the top of news like this you put "promo text" sign. Saves time for everyone.

Note7 owner, 13 Feb 2022Amazing how the iPhone 13 series chips manhandled these S22... moreCrazier when you realize the OG iPhone used a Samsung CPU chip that was underclocked to boost SOT.
Two years later, Apple bought PA Semi, https://www.cnet.com/news/apple-acquires-low-power-chip-designer-pa-semi/, and today they have an unassailable lead in low-power, mobile chip performance while Samsung plays catch-up.
I wish GSMArena would do a flashback of mobile chips. There are so many ventures and initiatives that died off, including from stalwarts like Intel and NVIDIA.

Note7 owner, 13 Feb 2022Amazing how the iPhone 13 series chips manhandled these S22... moreSamsung should have made acquisitions in chip design. One of the several major errors they've made in mobile.
Apple chewed and spat out Imagination Technologies. Poaching talent and reverse engineering IP, and the A/M chips are products of that Machiavellian tactic. Samsung did not do anything similar. I can't recall the last time Samsung poached talent from AMD, Intel, Apple, NVIDIA, ARM or someone else. That's why their in-house Mongoose CPU cores failed so badly.
Their new partnership with ARM on GPU is a necessary recalibration. But there needs to be a long-term plan to gain chip design expertise. If that means buying over the "partnership" and poaching ARM talent, so be it.
Also, they have to restart their CPU in-house design unit. They'll never catch-up to Apple using general-licensed chip design. Whether that is a Cortex or Mali core. And forget ever putting out industry-leading hardware. Everything runs on chips. They should be at the forefront of Windows ARM rather than ceding control to Qualcomm. Their tablets running Android should be using in-house Silicon rather than repurposed Snapdragon flagships for phones. They have the software to use all the power they can squeeze out. Their VR/AR headset venture with Microsoft would be unable to beat Apple's new headset as the latter will use M chips. Samsung has no answer to that because they're woeful in the chip game.
All of that said, the chip industry is very fluid. 5 years ago, AMD seemed to be on its deathbed and now they're just shy off Intel's valuation. Nvidia is far and away the gold standard on GPU but who knows how Intel and AMD will fair this decade. Apple had tried repeatedly with chip design and only hit jackpot with the A chips. M chips are based on the A chips, so that could be a one-trick pony waiting for a disruptor to change the landscape again.
As such, the opportunity is always there for Samsung to seize the initiative and set the pace for mobile chip performance; but they'll have to be serious about it and think long term; rather than seeing in-house chips as a way to improve profit margins.

On updates, I wish Samsung started positioning One UI as its own OS supporting Google services; sorta like BlackBerry 10 OS. Rename it One OS, rather than UI.
Then they can drip features to flagships through versioning like Apple and Google do. And since they sell so many phones, One OS updates will be reported on like iOS and Android minor updates. More importantly, it will create a veneer of frequent, long-term support when nothing they're doing now will change fundamentally.
iPhones just got iOS 15.3. Google just opened up Android 13 Beta for Pixel phones. Meanwhile S/Notes/Folds/Flips get security updates until a new public release Android OS is available. That innately confers some level of inferiority on Samsung flagships which goes against the grain relative to their pricing.
I know there are already minor One UI updates, like One UI 4.1, after One UI 4 public release. But One UI Beta should be permanently open for continuous testing. Not open once a year.

Honestly, the S22 Ultra feels like Note21 Ultra delayed by 6 months. With customary annual chipset and design updates.

"The telephoto cameras are also natively 3X telephoto now compared to the previous 64MP hybrid solution of the S21 and S21+. So it's quite reasonable to expect them to do better photos and videos than thtier predecessors."
No, that's rather wrong. If the lens of the S21 64 megapixel camera was very sharp (I think so) and without chromatic aberrations, then one would expect the tele cameras of the S22 to perform slightly worse. The 64 megapixel Bayer camera of the S21 has a 5.9mm /2 lens and 0.8 micrometer pixels, the 10 megapixel Bayer camera of the S22 has a 7mm /2.4 lens and 1.0 micrometer pixels. One would expect the old S21 to have a slightly better angular resolution because 5.9/0.8 is 1.05x as large as 7/1.0. Furthermore, one would think expect the old S21 to gather more light per time per angle because the effective lens diameter = 5.9/2 is slightly larger than 7/2.4.

S22+ is the true winner :
. best battery life (balanced screen resolution/ battery capacity)
. better performance / thermal throttling
S22 regular / Ultra :
. worst battery life
. worst performance / thermal throttling

Samsung's new sd card released last year. Literally unusable on the s22 family lmao.
