I actually kinda dig the look of the camera bumps. To me, that look feels a little cleaner/sleeker than having a whole protruding square on the back of the phone.

Simplification is good! The notes used to be the "big screen deice." That's no longer needed with today's massive phones and this move is very much appreciated. The Note lineup has been redundant for quite a while. I'd actually argue the new notes are Samsung's foldables.

I like the ultra design. It differentiates it from the rest of the line.

As a S21 Ultra user I prefer the camera bump on the S22 Ultra it looks better it's different from what we usually get and probably feels better in hand, great video.

I was so shocked when he said he didn't like the look of the camera area. To me it's beautifully minimal. I love it 🤩

Thank God! I was legitimately looking at the Samsung page a couple days ago -sad that the note pen was probably never going to be in a phone again.

I got the Note 20 ultra when it came out and am still rocking it. I'm probably going to hold on to it until they've got less of an edge or drastic new features. At this point the only reason I'd get it is for the better Snapchat integration (which I believe is only active on the S21 ultra and beyond).

Would love to hear about any features that make it worth the upgrade.

I think this is one of the best looking camera backs I've seen on a Galaxy phone, That being said I enjoy your reviews.

So I had the honor of having my hands on one a while ago (I work in a Samsung retail store) under embargo, and having my note 10+ in one hand and the S22 ultra in the other makes me very happy to see the line carrying on

I personally love the look of the cameras! No more huge camera bumps is a plus for me

[Anhony]

i didn't realize until now, but listen to how fast he says MKBHD in his intro

Never has a 3-year-old phone design felt so up-to-date!
(their best so far imo – though a horizontal back camera setup would help with the SPen wobble)

Been using the Note 9 for over 3 years and I use the hell out of that stylus! Especially because the notes app can search key words even from your handwriting! I was so disappointed when I heard there wasn’t going to be a new note but I can rest peacefully tonight.

That camera section is really one thing i love about this design.

loved the review and having the S22 Ultra...The new camera bump design is superb subjectively, of course, I love it. Cases, instead of 1 big cutout its around each bump.

Love it but I'm not parting with my note 20 ultra just yet. Had an imported one from Hong Kong 15 months ago thats still in pristine condition and has served me great in that time. That boxy design never gets old. Reminds me of the black monolith in Stanley kubrick's 2001 a space odyssey 🤣

[carlosandrescastromedina]

I'm liking the design, reminds me of the old Sony phones, especially the Z1

[justsomerandomdude]

I personally like the S22 Ultra's design more than any other phone out there. It just looks different.

[StockyDT]

The note was typically the top of the line performance model and features until the s20 ultra existed. So really, making the note OP again or making it the S Ultra are basically what the note always was

[eddiejcc]

This looks just like my "old" Note except for the cameras but as far as I am concerned, that is a pluss, love the design!

[ashoormarikar]

I actually loved the design
Simple and sophisticated!
