Kev, 09 Feb 2022The charging has a benchmark to beat: Huawei's 40W cha... moreThe 21U already does comparatively well. Gsmarena's measurements are 54% in 30 minutes, and 100% in 71 minutes. Still not up to par with the Chinese 120w chargers, but I think what's currently there is decently fast enough. The deciding factor I think will be in the screen-on times. If this can last 1-2 days of moderately heavy use, a slower charging speed can be somewhat forgiven.

LOL, dual 1/3.94" (reported here and other places, it is not 1/3.2" like last generation).
It is just slightly larger than the 3rd camera of 21 FE.
So not expect it to be any better.
I would not be surprised if at night phone forces digital zoom from the main instead of using the 70mm.

Nick Tegrataker, 10 Feb 2022That moment when you realise S22 Ultra isn't any bette... moreIt is an apart mode. Samples have over 20MB size.
It is hands-on only.
They are not going to post same shots they would do for the review because samsung does not want people to see how bad it does before they buy the phones.
This is why most hands-on samples are macro or flowers.

Why is it mentioned that there is a 16GB RAM / 512GB version for S22 Ultra on Samsung US website? Just take a look at "Compare the models" tab on S22 Ultra page:
https://www.samsung.com/us/smartphones/galaxy-s22-ultra/buy/
Will there be one with 16GB RAM in the future?

Well I'm not complaining, except for its price. Perhaps will wait for the price to go down before getting my own S22 Ultra, for now, I will stick to my S10 5g tehee.

That moment when you realise S22 Ultra isn't any better than the regular S22 when it comes to the amount of image noise.. I'm surprised Samsung (presumably) kept the same exact 108MP sensor from S21 Ultra but the regular models got the huge boost in light sensitivity to the point where they basically match the bigger sibling in terms of light capturing (Samsung implied that GN5 has *higher* full well capacity than 1/1.3" GN1, so it makes sense, sort of).
Apparently S22 series has an ability to merge full resolution output with binned output to produce a highly detailed photo with less noise, but I'm not seeing it on those samples. Maybe the feature will be added in future software update?

I still don't understand why Samsung is following IPhone and not having their top phones with an expandible memory card

No thanx ill stick to my note20 Ultra 5g at least that has an sd card slot!
Its about time too they allow us to remove apps we dont want ir use like annoying bixby and that chat instead of txts & mms it dont work on my fitbit versa 2 so im constantly having to shut it down again
If samsung want to grab ppls attention try asking them what they do & dont want then take it from there

The S22+ would do me nicely. However, there's zero chance of me spending so much on a phone. It's great to see all three models offering very sensible and varying sizes. Something for everyone.

Phone arena have outdoor photos.
They all look pretty bad.
Like "beauty mode" applied to buildings ..
My phone would need to use ISO over 10.000 to ruin photos that way.

Samsung is gonna increase even more the noise reduction to kill the noise, then abuse even more the sharpening to make texture look like photo from 24MP full frame.
Then those youtubers that pretend to understand about photo, shall deceive viewers to think tons of details are there.
Samsung wins ...

" we think - it's a lot more Note20 Ultra this, than it is an S21 Ultra."
A BIG LIE
it is almost copy of other Galaxy S series rather than original Note we used to know.

"We'll need to test just how much of an impact the smaller sensors will have on image quality - perhaps improved processing will make up for it."
The effective diameter of the periscope camera is smaller, this leads to more diffraction. Already the S21 Ultra periscope camera suffered from diffraction, but now there will be even slightly more diffraction. I expected that Samsung would increase the effective diameters, but they have done the opposite.
