Amazing device

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been a Samsung galaxy user since the s7 and I will never buy anything else. Every year these phones get better. My favorite was the s20 ultra, such a wonderful, solid device but made the switch to the s22 ultra because of the s pen. The s22 ultra is a powerhouse, and is more than capable of doing what you need it to do. Spectacular performance, style, great battery life, the s22 ultra is fantastic.

Amazing cameras

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had the Note 20 Ultra and I loved it, but when the Fold 3 came out I had to give it a try. Had it for a couple months and it was a great and really cool phone, but I missed the Ultras cameras.

Nothing new, but everything better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally upgraded from my Note 10+ that I got at launch all the way back in 2019, and my experience with the ultra relative to it has been pretty positive. But while the S line has been on a bumpy road with features additions, removals, combinations, and design changes, the only thing radically different between 2019 Note and 2022 Ultra is the 44 extra pixels of height on the display. It's the same boxy design (which I like), the same curved sides (thankfully much less intense this time around), same S pen (almost exactly the same even), and the same Samsung experience we've gotten used to with OneUI.
However, I am happy I upgraded, because while I didn't gain any features, everything I had before has been upgraded and tweaked to be smoother, quicker, and more powerful.
The display is much brighter, and is just as easily viewable outside on a bright day as it is inside at night. The battery, while I've heard it's lesser than the S21 Ultra, is still miles ahead of the 5-6 hours my Note was left with by the time I upgraded (I had never replaced the battery), I'll easily get 8 or 9 hours off a full charge and I'd consider myself a power user with many background apps as well as processing heavy daily tasks.
S Pen thankfully has all of the features it did before, I'm one of the few who finds practical use for Air Command when watching YouTube propped on a table and don't need to reach my arm across to skip or change the volume, and especially when taking photos from distances or if I need to hold a specific angle and tapping the shutter button would ruin it (I can't be the only one with that problem right?).
Speaking of photos, the cameras live up to the hype on this year's Ultra. I'd heard complaints and gripes since the S20 but when I finally jumped it seems Samsung has ironed out most of those. Point and shoot picture taking, without any fancy zooming or photo modes, is class leading, and while you lose zoom options in the true 108 MP mode having a photo with a ton of detail can be cool and enhance it in most situations. Wide angle is basically perfect, with the great color and detail persisting across the lenses, and the zoom is mind blowing and very freeing. The best uses I've found for the zoom are wildlife or nature photos, where you can frame something exactly and get it in crisp detail. Zooming up to 60x is usually the most you'll get away with, although I've managed to get a couple stunning shots at 100x, which is impossible on my brother's S21 Ultra. The night mode is so good it's almost a catch-22 (pun intended), if you take a picture at night it'll automatically do a long exposure night mode photo and the result just looks like daytime, complete with blue skies. This does mean if you want to preserve the dark night look, some adjustments or post touchups will be needed, although it's better to capture all the detail now and adjust later than to lose it all in the dark from the beginning. A good tip for using the camera is that photos never end up how they do from the viewfinder, there's a ton of post process done on every one (something you can turn off in pro mode if it's not your fancy) so you might just need to take a photo to see if it'll be good.
Video performance is pretty good but can be hit or miss, although admittedly I don't take many videos. The same great color performance carries through most of the time but lighting can be a bit off, especially when you have a bright light in a dark room (i.e. a TV screen in a room at night) but it's usually taken care of with quick adjustments with the brightness slider. A good benchmark for video lighting is plays, as in live actors across a stage. Being a large dark room and wanting to capture what's going on can be tough for a lot of cameras but with a couple taps the S22 catches up and creates a surprisingly balanced and detailed video from what would normally be very non-optimal circumstances for phone cameras.
Overall I think it's definitely an Ultra phone, it's got all the big numbers and lives up to them for me, even if they might not have in the device's between my Note and now. And while there aren't any new features compared to my Note, it doesn't mean this isn't the swiss army knife of phones, heck, electronic devices. As a tech enthused type I often need to do specific tasks for this and that and in specific ways for this device or that one, and this phone works every time when I use it, although for productivity my desktop computer is my first choice when I'm home. Samsung has made a very refined device, bringing all the best features from past devices and upgrading them to truly be worthy of the name Ultra. I'd recommend the phone to anyone looking for the absolute highest across the board, even if it doesn't do anything incredibly interesting like fold in half or have a ring light built in.
