People who don’t use cases on their phone are mad brave

[pepega]

One thing to note that I learned years ago doing drop tests, is that while the case does protect the phone from shattering and protects the screen, it does not protect against internal damage such as speakers, camera, battery etc. Those things can still be damaged from the impact as something has to absorb the weight of the fall. Fully recommend leaving the drop test to reviewers if you're considering trying at home.

I also thought I wouldn't use the S Pen all that much when I purchased my first Galaxy Note. Now I won't buy a phone without one. Using the S22 Ultra for an entire month before posting your final review is a more accurate assessment of the S22 Ultra. Thanks for another great video Ella.

My S22 Ultra is the third phone I've had with an S Pen. I don't exactly use it all the time, but it's one of those things where I'd rather have it in case I need it. It really comes in handy when you need it.

I absolutely love my S22+ Ultra! I am a long time Galaxy user and moved up from a 1TB S10+ which I still use on a daily basis for movie downloads. The S Pen is a great addition and i find myself using it more than i thought i would for drawing and painting apps which function great on this phone. I was once an iPhone user years ago, and have played around with my kids' newest iPhones, but I still always go back happily to my Samsung!

I am glad you mentioned the sharp corners. This is was the main reason I gave up my iPad mini. I don't think developers pay close attention to these issues of comfort or discomfort when you hold these devices for hours.

[davidblee]

Once you've used an S-Pen, you can't go back to a phone without one. Sure there are phones with a stylus, but still not yet as well integrated as the S-Pen. Having it and using it, you definitely realize how useful it is.

I own this phone as well and I'm not a mobile gamer so the gos situation hasn't really bothered me. everything else on the phone is great long time Samsung user and I use the s pen a lot for jotting down quick notes as my job requires me sometimes to jot down things. but a lot of people don't know that Samsung makes 80% of iPhones components and up until recently made all the iPhone screens so as far as which phone to choose depends on the ecosystem you want to be in everything is relative nowadays

I have seen videos comparing the RAW feature on the Samsung (especially portrait photography) comparing it to $2, 000 professional digital cameras. The S22 RAW was obviously not as good as the pro phone, but I (and the pro photographer) was impressed with the fact that the S22 RAW held its own.

Bottom line is it all depends who is taking the pictures.

[mystictraveler]

I just love that air command when I pull out the stylus. That is the note signature. And you can take photos with the stylus. It works as a wireless shutter. It's amazing.

[rachellight]

I have the S22+ model. Got it 3 days ago and have to say that it's a great phone. I think once a new update comes though it'll be much better; hopefully they'll help to improve the battery performance somehow. I can get at least 7 hours out of it so far. But still room for improvement there.

[pseudonormal]

WoW you were at school the last time I’ve seen one of your video. I’d like to say a BIG CONGRATULATION to you, your evolution is really inspiring and the quality keeps evolving . Really congrat

[vvinters]

You need to use Samsung's Expert Raw app to do multi-frame raw. This was on the keynote.

4:53 I actually LOVE the way the screen is curved on this phone and I also love how the sides are dimmer, it feels like you're always watching premium content of whatever you re watching lol. I think it looks fantastic and it's one of the reasons I bought one. But each one of us has different preferences, of course.

[ElronCorinthian]

I have the s22 ultra, the phone is a blessing in so many ways...coming from a 10+ and iphone before that I do agree that this phone is top notch in the game...

[zakariyyagardee]

First review of the ultra that I've seen that as actually gave good reasons about why the curved screen is bad, instead of just hating on it without explaining why. Thank you.

Samsung's Note8 and Note9 made me leave my iPhone days behind me for good. The straight forward business productivity of the Notes gave me an new edge staying on top of all the things I need to on the go. The companion S Pen plays a huge part in my daily work matters. The Notes just work with my lifestyle perfectly. Another thing I loved about my Notes is the fact the build quality and longivity of the phones excellent. All this said fast forward to November 2022. During ATT's Samsung holiday promotions I took the plunge and traded in my Note9 for the Samsung Ultra in green. Now that I've been rocking it for a few months as my damily driver I cannot say enough good things about it. Well done, Samsung. This said, excellent review Ella. Thx for sharing. Have a great night.

I've bought s22 ultra since around 6 months ago and it's quite perfect
The s pen works great and the phone has been exactly the same even after 6 months that I've used.
I actually love s23 ultra as well but since it has a little bit smaller display, I love my s22 ultra over s23 ultra BUT I love every Samsung phones and products as well
Thanks for reading it and have a good day
Stay Positive love you all

About the color gamut of the screen... if you find the colors too saturated just use natural instead of vivid in the display options. It make things pop a bit less but it look more realistic and true to life.

[andrewpike]

I have just bought an S22 Ultra. I think it is very good but I am still learning how to use it. Your vidio was very informative, you have now given me plenty of things to try out. I was surprised you did not discuss the sound options and the quality over Bluetooth.
