    Neutrino, 25 Feb 2022Why there is no Iphone 13 Max pro for comparison in the per... moreWell, it doesnt make sense to compare geekbench scores between iphone and Android, and btw, the bugs on ios or lack of basic android features make more impact than some Geekbench numbers. On the other hand, if you want to compare, you can also compare Antutu, and I believe the difference between Flagship androids and iphones is not much.

      Why don't you shoot high resolution mode in the camera test any more? All the reviews of the past including S22+ two days ago provided some shots in high resolution mode. Those and also the full resolution samples in general put GSMarena reviews on top of all websites! Please consider adding some of those 108MP shots! Thank you :-)

        Neutrino, 25 Feb 2022Why there is no Iphone 13 Max pro for comparison in the per... morebecause head to head in real life, the perf of iphone 11 is on par with or slighty below S22 ultra..so again the 11, a 2 generations diff
        Also,in real life xdr content and outside brightntess on the 13 pro max is far better, dont know why, i tried to go into a store to see and to know if i have to return my unit...but no, those in the store were similar less bright
        So, iphone 13 pro has better performance, brighter display, better battery life, better price

          Why there is no Iphone 13 Max pro for comparison in the performance charts?
          Those are both flagships phones and most expensive Sammy phone should be compared directly with the competition. Maybe because it's a beating to Samsung ;-)
          FYI
          Phone 13 Pro Max - Geekbench 5 Score.
          1721 - Single-Core Score (45% faster than S22U)
          4706 - Multi-Core Score (28% faster than S22U)
          Samsung S22 Ultra 5G - From your review
          1180 - Single-Core Score
          3657 - Multi-Core Score
          Consumers should know. Those phones cost a lot of money and people should take conscious decisions.

            That's 3 years in a row, I'd be skipping a Samsung Galaxy flagship for a Chinese alternative.
            Just like Apple, they simply refuse to put proper cooling mechanism on a $1000 plus phone

              PS I think your unit might be defective or it's in dire need of firmware update; left corner of photos is seriously out of focus and mushy.

                Life at android was never better than this. S22 ultra is a beast and by far a better value proposition than iPhone 13 pro max.
                Just buy it.
                BLESSED TOGET GALAXY S22 ULTRA WITH A Pen.
                Camera are much better than described in the above review.

                  The con list is absolutely hilarious 😂

                    John, 25 Feb 2022I dont get it. Pretty much every other review out there poi... moreAbsolutely no one the battery life is average, everyone is saying it's only matching the S21U, which was already great, probably the best Android had to offer.

                      Today got my first software update here in Spain. Weights 800mb, came with some Samsung app updates, fixed the video bug and also came with March security patch

                        I think you made a typo. It's Note 22, no s22 ultra

                            I dont get it. Pretty much every other review out there pointed out at avarage battery life and since Gsmarena review didnt come.out before today, I ended up canceling preorder. And now GSM says that battery is excellent.

                              There was a non-ultra note 20 back in 2020.

                                S21 Ultra with 5000 mAh battery, 229 g
                                S21 Ultra with 5000 mAh battery plus S Pen, still 229 g
                                Please explain the Con: "S Pen eats up internal volume and adds weight, which isn't ideal if you're in for the S Ultra and not the Note Ultra."
                                Actually a Pro and not a Con. I would say an engineering masterpiece.
