Just got the latest update.
Screen flicker is gone. So lags in places, starting to annoy me. Battery is extremely poor, euro trash exynos here. Gets hot for no major reason, maybe background update or something.

Doesn't really feel like a big upgrade over the note. My kids iPhone 13pro seems so smooth and my wife's pixel 6 pro compared (although she has loads of connection issues😂.

    doesn't matter whatever you expect from the camera, ultimately it's a 12MP camera with 4:3 ratio and these 4:3 images fit nowhere, your PC has a 16:9 screen, your phone has a 9:19 screen, 4R photo papers are in 3:2! i don't understand why these image sensors are in 4:3!!! and if you crop these 4:3 images to 3:2 or 16:9 they become 10-9 MP.......... what's the point???? I'd like to suggest the concerns to bring a ~6mmX9mm ~2/3" 4000X6000p 24MP image sensor.

      Hey guys,
      Thanks for the review. You used to post pictures in 108mp mode (full size). It was super useful. Could you upload the samples, please? I want to compare it with the s21 ultra.
      Best

          very bad battery for such an expensive phone, it does not make for professional use unfortunately.

            I might buy the next generation S23U if they hopefully finally give up the curved screen (weird "feature" for a stylus phone). I do not like the missing 3,5 jack and SD card slot, but with 512GB I can at least forgive the omission of an SD card slot. I wish they would come up one day with a fan edition which includes all the lost features - this might be a huge surprise success...

              Note 20 or s22ultra? So what say you?

                        P C M, 26 Feb 2022That doesn't work everywhere. So, don't.Yes it does. Why shouldn't it?

                        There's parametric equalizers on app store which is much better at £30

                          When you buy house, you buy modify

                          You buy watch, you can modify

                          You buy phones , the same.

                          In Europe we don't nag or complain, in Asia majority are poor and expect.

                          Common sense

                                    Coming from a note 10+. Few things.

                                    Phone looks the same, which is a good thing.
                                    S pen feel is not as nice as the Note 10+ imo. It doesn't pop out in the same way, you have grab it, and too much friction.
                                    Battery doesn't seem as good. My note 10+ even now seems to last longer. I understand 5g and all that, but this is 3rd or 4th gen 5g phone.
                                    Note10+ was still running just as smooth as the day I got it, which is a testament to Samys software improvements.
                                    Should have gone for the 1tb model.
                                    Cameras are better.
                                    It's a bit heavier.
                                    Buttons are still too high up the phone.

                                      Don't rely on cheap free from manufacturers, you need too upgrade it.

                                        Cpu Seems throttle much worse than s22+ model with copper heat pipe although all these exynos models are due a massive update from Samsung that been confirmed which should sort out battery life and other issues
