Grey, 12 Feb 2022I really don't understand the hype... Samsung trolls A... moreI know right? They removed their mocking tweets too, I believe.
Xiaomi also mocked and removed features, only to get some back in many models.
Samsung is the android crApple.
Yet I might get the S22 base model along with an 11T pro (for the exact price of 1 S22 ultra)

        I puked when I analysed the super oversharpening of the pictures. Really, who would have think we would reach this point in 2022 ? And no micro SD slot.

          I really don't understand the hype... Samsung trolls Apple for reducing features and shamelessly follows them...

          1. Removed the earphone jack
          2. Removed spo2 heart rate sensor (came as a boon in my s7 edge, 2nd phonr, during covid).
          3. Removed micro sd card
          4. Removed infrared sensor.
          5. Not providing charger and earphone and have audacity to give reason of climate change.. Shameless)
          6. 2k screen.. Only in top end models. (My s7 edge has one along with VR)
          7. Slower exynos in some countries while asking the same premium.
          8. Exponential increase in price.. When Chinese companies are giving similar hardware at much less price
          9. Not providing top class sensor to s series (isocell gn2) whereas mi 11 Ultra was using laat year.

          Samsung has become greedy... And they think they are apple..

          There are many positives of Samsung such as
          1. One ui
          2. Camera optimization (on snapdragon)
          3. Top class screen
          4. Ultra series is good.
          5. Software updates

          I feel Samsung no longer provides the bleeding edge in technology as it did earlier. No longer value for money.

          Samsung will soon have to give up its android crown to someone else.. If not for huawei ban, it would have already fallen. Samsung is no longer a company that excites the enthusiast.

              Ivs ordered the 512GB S22 ultra and can't wait.

              Man samsung is everything else but not premium device.
              Only premium device and brand among cell phones were Vertu.
              Apart the Vertu Samsung, Apple, Sony etc are just costly gimmick where brands like realme, xiaomi, lenovo, oppo, vivo etc sells equally specced devices for much less.

                  Kiflom, 11 Feb 2022Samsung made a big mistake by cripling cameras on S22 and S... moreThey had to increase production by 20% because the pre-orders alone almost sold out the s22 ultra. Crippling the screen? It's way better than the s10 one, twice the brightness, twice the speed 120hz, 4x touch sample rate, more colour accuracy, LTPO and bigger. It's a notch better than the s21.

                    DoA, expensive price for base models with low storage & no sd card w/c means you are forced to buy for an additional $$$ higher storage models.

                    My country gets the crappynos variants w/c sucks.

                              After changing to Asus some years back, I don't look back on Samsung phones. They geolock you with their best hardware (US Only) EU and the rest gets the crap chipset, but the same price. And most important, they charge you Apple money but can't deliver the same. Worst in the Android camp if you ask me, and I was a big fan of the Note series since the Note 2. Now, Samsung is a cast away here, times changes huh.

                                        The mssing of expandeble no support for micro sd card is a dealbreaker and the basic version of s22 ultra comes only with 8 gigs of ram and 128 gigs of internal storage makes it unatractive to buy noone of them and pricetag is to high and all that blotware inside the phones from samsung no thanks that not a god deal there are many other alternatives of android flagskips which offers more for you monney .
