I will also get an iphone 13 pro max to have the best camera for content creation at some point eventually, but I doubt these improvements will make the s22 ultra a better phone than the previous generations when it comes to performance and battery life!

Anonymous, 23 Dec 2021I think this is the only honest opinion about the Samsung G... moreFirst if you whant battery to last longer you can change your display resolution. But is not ok a low resolution for a flagship .
And second S-series where never made to charge after 2 days. Everyone is charging everyday and you know that. But S-series in the past (except S21) had the best display quality for that time.
I had S21 in my hands and i don t like the display quality.
I love that they want to make s22 more compact , but stil FHD display is not ok .
Please let this specs with 1440p screen and i would buy it .
I am not really a big fan of Qualcomm's always on camera for Snap 8 Gen 1, so I hope that the Exynos version is actually good this year.
Exynos 2100 wasn't great but it certainly wasn't terrible like its predecessors, so I am a bit optimistic about Exynos 2200 with mRDNA.
i think it's time to leave samsung again. it gets more and more worse again. it's just hard to find a phone what is compact. and i don't know why everyone loves a television at the ear!
Yes same . me two living Samsung. Not going to buy Samsung. Again.
Moving to Sony. Sony offers 1440p display
Smaller screen size is good thinking, listening to feedback. Hope it won't get above 8mm thickness and width hopefully is lower too.
Droping the hybrid telephoto is natural, was awful.
I think they should have done better at selfie camera, I bet this is where Iphones will improve (wider angle?) so they could front run them.
I like the plastic on the back honestly, very practical
again FHD screen ? I understand that they whant to reduce cost , but they can do that on cheaper devices. When you throw with money you whant the best and this screen is clearly not that.
I have the s10 , and i would wait for s22 to see if they would bring back quality display and 12gb ram. If not S20 5g would be my next one. Better buy S20 with 12gb if S22 would be fail just like S21
Usually I'll upgrade to the latest S Series device. I skipped upgrading to the S20 and glad I did but I won't consider the S22/Note 22 or whatever label Samsung settles on. Very few improvements and in some features they're going backwards. Innovation for mobile phones have reached a plateau, why drop a bundle for a bit better camera or a new color? Sorry Samsung, I'll sit this one out.
Samsung are gonna screw Europe again with another exynos cpu theyve gone with AMD gpu integrated inside to put spin on the whole thig to look more appealing to the consumer but plz believe this will be 20-30% worse that the snapdragron 8 gen1 version of the s22 yet we stil pay more than the USA for the phone. This is what made me move to hUAWEI and oppo and i'll be keeping my huawei p30 because its still a very capable 2019 phone faster than my s20 i had from samsung last year which i sold for £200 due to terrible battery jerky video camera and overheating issues and slow laggy gaming. I will at some point get either a iphone 12 or 13 to have the best of android and the apple world. l decided to stick around a bit longer to S9

Santosh, 11 Dec 2021The battery drains a lot, don't survive post noonMy S21 with the Snapdragon can easily last all day. I've found it hard to even come close to running the battery down. It has easily lasted longer than any of the previous Galaxy S phones I've owned. I started with the S6 and upgraded every two years to the newest version.(S6, S8, S10, S21).
I was going to start upgrading every year, after I got the S21. But with the rumor of the smaller screen size on the S22, I will probably stick to every two years if the screen size actually gets smaller on the S22.

Harry, 14 Dec 2021Upgrading to S21 from S10 pros and cons:
Cons:
- Less r... moreI was glad I dumped my two year old S10. Plus the $550 trade in credit toward my 256GB S21 meant I only had to pay around $300 out of pocket. Plus I got $200 worth of accessories.
All that plus the S21 has easily been a better phone than my S10 was. The only thing the S10 had that was better, was a higher resolution screen(but smaller). Everything else on the S21 has been better for me.
I gett better battery performance and a 120hz screen.
I never needed the SD card. I haven't used wired headphones in many, many years and would never consider using them now. I only used the SpO2/heartrate sensor twice with my S10. For years I've had a couple of SpO2/heartrate sensors that I can wear and get constant data. That gets downloaded and put into a graph. So the feature on the S10 was never useful to me.
The rumored smaller screen on the S22 is why I might not upgrade from the S21. I don't want to go down to a smaller size. I would have preferred if they stuck with an 6.2 inch screen or increased it to 6.25/6.3 inches.

I've never had any issues with cloud storage from my UHD videos with my S21. All my videos and pictures have been uploaded to my One Drive storage for many years now.

I've been using Galaxy S phones since the Galaxy S6. The S21 is easily the best Galaxy S phone I have owned.
I've been using my S21 since launch back in January. It has been nearly flawless in my use. Which is one of the reasons I rank it as the best Galaxy S phone I have owned.

This is the worst phone I have ever had it has bugs it just is a piece of s**t ..the camera is the best i have ever used on a phone shaped device ....hey Samsung its a phone ...not a camera .
You want a phone get two cans and peice of string it will work better. But if you want a camera and have no friends..go for it
Nothing about being a phone or an Internet device is any good with this . Its truly junk but hey you can take great pictures

No SD Card --->Just buy cloud subscription
No Headphoe Jack----> Just buy BT headphones
What about less screen resolution, do you have a genius recommendation for that too?
How is uploading stuff better to cloud is better when 4k videos max the storage pretty quick and you are traveling camping/outdoor trying to find 4g/LTE in the middle of nowhere?
Also there is not a BT codec that can handle FLAC/High quality audio files over air. l already have Shure SE535, expensive but amazing in-ear headphones. On top of that Samsung don't ship Snapdragon to EU and can't even use AptX HD but the inferior AptX.

"l decided to stick around a bit longer to S9"
I still use my s8 from time to time, what a pity the battery is past 1000 cycles. No, thank you. We won't see samsung phones like s8/s9 anymore...

Traded my S9 in for the S21 back in June when it was on offer, the S21 has been fine up until about 2 months ago when the random reboot issue started several times a day without warning.
Tried a factory reset & it didn't fix the issue.
Contacted Samsung support & they had the phone back for repair, sent it back to me " fully repaired " & 6 days after getting it back the random reboot issue is back.
As the current trade in price is higher that what I originally paid for the phone I'm getting rid, far to many reports of the same issue that Samsung seem unable to fix.
People have reported Samsung replacing there S21 series for a new device & that suffering from the same random reboot issue.

However I think sone, wireless earbuds has anc, which makes the headphone Jack less convenient!
There is also eism for dual sim, which if you have scanned the qr code for your carrier, then it should be activated!

First if you whant battery to last longer you can change your display resolution. But is not ok a low resolution for a flagship .
And second S-series where never made to charge after 2 days. Everyone is charging everyday and you know that. But S-series in the past (except S21) had the best display quality for that time.
I had S21 in my hands and i don t like the display quality.
