AngryLithuanian, 26 Feb 2022They searched high and low to find anything wrong with the ... moreWell, I can give it a shot:
-Note design is a downgrade to s21u in terms of ergonomics, dust collecting and accidental falls
-unusual s-pen placement keeps the speaker muffled while consuming media horizontally
-average speaker quality
-no 8k@30fps after 3 years and 3 generations of chipsets, 8k footage is unusable

But even with these flaws it's heads above the competition in regards to encompassing every possible feature in one package, and they did it quite well.

    For my eyes after pixel peeping u21 looks sharper than u22 in most cases. More details on bricks

            So, it seems that all the s22 series have very noticeable corner softness on their primary lenses. I thought it would be a unit specific issue on the s22 plus review, but even this one has the same.
            The s21 ultra and note 20 has way better defined edges/ corners (especially on the left side) which makes me think it might be a design / coating issue.

              After a much closer inspection of the camera performance between the S22 Ultra and the S21 Ultra, I must say that I much prefer the latter's photo quality. I really can't understand the former's oversharpening effect, especially in daylight. It feels as if Samsung is copying Apple's oversharpening effect.

              As for the Xclipse GPU, man... that is an impressive score. It really does pay off to have AMD onboard.

                          John, 25 Feb 2022I dont get it. Pretty much every other review out there poi... moreSamsung update their Exynos variant very well. If you can find any new or close to new Exynos 990 SoC flagship you will find that it provides very good battery life unlike when it was released even though it was a crap SoC. For some test S20 ultra even bested the S21 ultra later when S21 ultra was released.

                            So, the speaker is crap. Can't believe Samsung did that. The loudness score is okay, which is a good thing but why there is no base frequency !!
                            I hope it's just a firmware issue. Apple still rocks though..

                              Can't wait for xiaomi 12 Ultra to comparing this S22 Ultra and P50 Pro, especially for camera prowess.

                                  Why don’t you mention the horrible shutter lag that Samsungs have? They can’t take pictures of moving objects like kids or pets without having blur, especially indoor shots. iPhones and Pixels don’t have this issue

                                    So nobody is going to say anything about how this looks exactly an Xperia XZ from 2016?

                                        There's a good reason why Samsung is practically giving a $1,200 phone away (75% off with trade-in at Samsung's website). Fewer takers than expected, Samsung? Could it be because there is NO SD SLOT and NO AUDIO JACK? You gotta be kidding me. Good luck with that. Android users aren't obedient Apple fanatics. Bye-bye, Samsung, if this is the way it's going to be from now on.
