1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,240
just as i find myself approaching the end of the honeymoon period with my

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,519
galaxy z fold 3 where the flaws of the device begin to stand out against the

3
00:00:08,559 --> 00:00:16,720
obvious advantages samsung has refreshed their s lineup with the s22 family we've

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,920
got two of them here today the s22 plus and the note 22

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:29,439
excuse me the s22 ultra which is

6
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:32,000
by all appearances a spiritual successor

7
00:00:29,439 --> 00:00:37,040
to samsung's old note lineup that hasn't actually seen a new family member since

8
00:00:34,559 --> 00:00:41,760
the note 20 ultra 5g which we've also got on hand today for comparison so

9
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:46,000
let's start of course with that as something of a

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:50,480
note fanboy if i was going to switch off of a foldable i would probably end up

11
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:55,840
with a note and from everything that i've seen so far although that's very

12
00:00:52,559 --> 00:00:56,840
little this appears to be a worthy

13
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:03,199
and heavyweight successor to it

14
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:09,280
wow that is a flippin heavy phone

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:13,040
now one of the reasons actually a couple of the reasons that people on the

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:19,360
interwebs are saying that they really feel like the s22 ultra is less of an s

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,840
and more of a note is that the industrial design compared to the note

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:28,240
series is completely different instead of having a camera bump that is

19
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:33,119
one large bump with multiple lenses embedded in it the s22 ultra has

20
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:37,439
individual camera bumps with their own accent rings about them that i think

21
00:01:34,479 --> 00:01:42,399
looks absolutely fantastic it's also less rounded off in the corners which

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:48,000
is less comfortable for sure in the palm like i can tell

23
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,439
already holding the s22 plus that i'm gonna be less likely to get like a

24
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,439
little divot buried into my buried into my palm here

25
00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,880
the edges are a little bit on the sharp side compared to the s22 ultra

26
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:05,119
but that gives them more internal space for of course the other big difference

27
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:09,360
between the note series and the s series traditionally

28
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:14,080
the embedded s pen now i've seen some complaints about the relatively boring

29
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,879
design of the s pen this time around oh no it's just matte black compared to

30
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:23,280
some of the cool looking ones i've done in the past i'm gonna say as someone who used a note

31
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,440
for so long and absolutely loved the s pen when i was using it i don't care

32
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:30,720
what it looks like if i've got an s pen i'm absolutely going to be doing things

33
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:34,800
with it it does everything from allowing you to take quick notes while the screen

34
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:39,840
is still off to using it as a camera shutter which i actually used more often

35
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:44,560
than you might think and on this particular camera

36
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:48,720
is going to be a whopping 40 megapixels oh that's cute i can already see their

37
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,920
automatic fake bokeh being added here obviously not right now because i'm

38
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:55,040
recording a video to mask a cut that we had to make there but that's one of the

39
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,200
areas that the new snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc that's in the s22 series is

40
00:02:57,519 --> 00:03:05,360
dramatically faster than its predecessors image processing where it

41
00:03:01,519 --> 00:03:08,959
can handle sustained 720p 960fps

42
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,040
recording among other things as well as

43
00:03:08,959 --> 00:03:16,000
significantly improved machine learning performance where they are claiming that

44
00:03:13,519 --> 00:03:21,040
with their new ai assisted uh fake bokeh mode so let's find out

45
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:25,760
here we have a portrait mode they can actually even handle like like flyaways

46
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,760
so i don't know do i have enough

47
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,879
do i have enough flyaways that we can try this on me how am i looking here

48
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,879
ladies and gentlemen

49
00:03:35,519 --> 00:03:42,480
i actually use this feature all the time because even if you're not

50
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,480
using a fold which conveniently does allow you to preview your selfie

51
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:51,680
pictures on the main camera with the outside screen

52
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:57,280
as long as you can kind of aim at yourself you can get way better selfies

53
00:03:54,959 --> 00:04:01,439
on a rear proper camera than you will even with a 40 megapixel front camera

54
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,760
it's going through that tiny little hole there it's definitely losing some of the

55
00:04:03,519 --> 00:04:08,879
detail and in some of those little wispy hairs but

56
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,360
not bad look at that it even got the neck hair

57
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:17,280
other main benefits of the stylus are the ability to pop up this little menu

58
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:21,840
to quickly create gifs or get screenshots or write on screen

59
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:24,639
capture so that you can jot notes down and send them off to people these are

60
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:29,440
things that i have really missed about the note and could actually tempt me to

61
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:33,840
return it another cool thing about the s pen this time around is apparently the

62
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:38,560
latency even compared to the last gen has been dramatically reduced using a

63
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:43,520
combination of ai and then technology that they've integrated from wacom wacom

64
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:47,280
so i'm gonna go ahead and i don't know whatever let's just write on the screen

65
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,440
yeah it's like a scratchy

66
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,039
it's cheesy but i don't mind it uh in terms of the feel i wouldn't say that

67
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:06,160
it's markedly different from my experience with previous s pens but in

68
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,000
terms of the latency wow

69
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:14,000
um it feels less like writing with a stylus and more like

70
00:05:13,039 --> 00:05:20,560
just drawing on your screen like that's pretty cool back to the

71
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:26,160
cameras for a second on the ultra version we've got a total of five lenses

72
00:05:23,759 --> 00:05:30,240
here including a main shooter that's 108 megapixels this time around a 12

73
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:35,919
megapixel ultrawide 10 megapixel telephoto another 10 megapixel telephoto

74
00:05:33,039 --> 00:05:40,400
with a 10 times optical zoom as well as a depth sensor on the 22 and 22 plus

75
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:44,400
versions of the phone you get a 50 megapixel main shooter along with 12

76
00:05:42,479 --> 00:05:48,320
megapixel ultrawide and 10 megapixel telephoto but just the one telephoto

77
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:53,120
lens and both of those at least spec wise are the same this video is brought

78
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,720
to you by the brand grip that's right that's how you pronounce it i've been

79
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:02,319
saying it wrong for years i thought it was d brand but it's pretty clear that i

80
00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:05,840
was an idiot because right there there's

81
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:08,080
no space there's no dash in fact the d

82
00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:12,319
and the b are even joined together it's the brand so if you ever hear them

83
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:17,039
saying it wrong on their official channel which was how i got confused you

84
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,639
can let them know that it was they really need to do better and

85
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:24,639
they'll probably send you back a really a really nice politely worded message

86
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:28,880
i've been asked by de bruyne to show off their atomic grip case which is thinner

87
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:33,520
than ever while still having their nice grippy sides wow on a phone this big you

88
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:38,319
kind of need it to be thinner than ever as well as their shock protection and of

89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,919
course nice big clearances for all the things you're gonna need access to and

90
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:46,880
other than that i mean there's not too much to say about it other than that it's a nice case and it's almost

91
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,240
perfectly flush with the camera cut cutouts on the back i don't believe it's

92
00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:54,319
actually for sale yet but it should be very soon thanks to brand for sponsoring

93
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,960
this video remember if it's not the brand then you ate demand

94
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:04,479
now in terms of the other specs where i really want to start is the display

95
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:08,240
samsung it's no secret produces the best

96
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:10,319
mobile phone displays in the world by

97
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,840
basically any way of measuring them and they have once again one up themselves

98
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:18,000
apparently reaching 1750

99
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:23,520
peak brightness but you only get that on the s22 plus as

100
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:29,280
well as the s22 ultra not on the regular s22 of course i'm going to want to see

101
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,039
what some HDR content looks like on here

102
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:36,319
frankly i'm not even expecting to be able to benefit from that kind of peak

103
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,360
brightness on just regular hdr10 content on youtube but

104
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:46,080
it's interesting samsung is calling out that part of their performance outdoors

105
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,759
with the s22 series is a.i enhancement

106
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:51,520
of color or something like that to make it more readable but i had actually

107
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,879
noticed a similar thing where it's not just that the display brightness amps up

108
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,000
but also that the color profile changes even on my old

109
00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,759
note 9 so i don't really know what the deal is with that maybe if you guys know

110
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:05,520
anything about it you could give me some clarity in the comments

111
00:08:03,919 --> 00:08:10,160
as usual a new generation of phones comes out and

112
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:15,440
it is almost without a doubt going to be the best display in your house

113
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,800
man there's a big difference between HDR

114
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:22,479
and HDR in terms of other specs i already

115
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:27,039
mentioned that it's using a snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor but what exactly does

116
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:31,440
that mean what it means Android friends is that we are still

117
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:37,039
a couple of generations behind apple in terms of raw performance but in the real

118
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:41,919
world it means that we're getting anywhere from a

119
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,680
five to twenty percent uplift in raw

120
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:48,240
performance over last generation snapdragon 888 depending on what kind of

121
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:53,040
metrics you're looking at a huge boost in machine learning performance and a

122
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:58,560
massive generational increase in gaming performance to the point where for games

123
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,120
the s22 ultra assuming that it has no cooling issues which of course we

124
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:06,640
haven't tested yet i just opened the boxes should be competitive with the

125
00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:07,920
iphone 13 lineup in terms of games one

126
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:14,080
spec change that's causing some controversy is samsung's decision to

127
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:17,680
downgrade the 128 gig version of the s22

128
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:20,880
ultra from 12 gigs on the s21 ultra to

129
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:24,080
just 8 gigs you will get 12 gigs on the

130
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,720
256 512 and one terabyte versions but on

131
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:31,360
the base model you actually get less RAM than last generation on the s22 and s22

132
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:38,320
plus you don't have to worry about that because you're gonna get eight gigs regardless and they're only available in

133
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:39,760
128 gig and 256 gig configurations one

134
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:45,360
thing that's not looking as promising is samsung's charging technology this time

135
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:46,880
around we get a 3700 4500 and 5000

136
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:52,640
milliamp hour battery depending on whether we go for the s22 plus or ultra

137
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:57,120
but the charging rates are while good for samsung

138
00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:01,279
not that good compared to particularly some of their chinese competitors and

139
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:06,079
it's limited to 25 watts on the base model and 45 watts on the higher end

140
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,640
ones personally i don't consider this to be a major issue because i almost never

141
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:14,880
fast charge my phone it's just it might not kill your battery immediately but it

142
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:18,399
sure as heck isn't good for it but if you're the kind of person who wants to

143
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:22,800
be able to juice your phone up quickly then you're gonna have to settle for

144
00:10:19,839 --> 00:10:26,560
what is it they quote uh 50 in 20 minutes or something like that

145
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,240
hopefully you can you can get by with half of your charge in the time it takes

146
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:34,640
you to have a shower and get ready to go out you know what i want to come back to

147
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:41,120
now though is the display on the s22 and s22 plus you get the same 120 hertz

148
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:43,120
refresh rate as well as 240 hertz touch

149
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:47,519
sampling in game mode so that's going to be up there with the decent gaming

150
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:52,560
phones on the market and the same 10 to 120 hertz refresh window but on the

151
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:57,279
ultra i'm actually expecting that even though its display is significantly

152
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,120
larger it's 6.8 freaking inches this

153
00:10:57,279 --> 00:11:02,640
time around you could be getting significant energy efficiency savings

154
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,720
from the fact that they've gone all the way from 10 hertz down to just one

155
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,959
refresh per second one hurts is it still

156
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,399
a hertz or is it a hurt when you have just one of them

157
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:19,839
one refresh per second on the display when you're looking at static content

158
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:21,040
that is a pretty impressive feat

159
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:24,720
running through some other key specs we've got ultrasonic fingerprint sensors

160
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:29,279
across the entire lineup we've got wireless charging at 15 watts across the

161
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:34,480
entire lineup and Android 12 with samsung's one ui 4.1 that includes some

162
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:38,640
cool features including a newer improved wallet that'll store more than just

163
00:11:35,839 --> 00:11:43,120
payment cards as well as a new privacy dashboard that i actually want to have a

164
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,800
look at here that's designed to prevent

165
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,680
any unauthorized apps from getting access to anything that you don't want

166
00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:54,480
them to have when the clipboard is accessed that's super cool uh

167
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,200
get alerts when they have camera access

168
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:02,000
that is a weird little jelly effect when you

169
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:04,720
can't say i'm a big fan uh shoot there was something that i had

170
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,519
wanted to check out in here all right i remember i wanted to see how

171
00:12:06,079 --> 00:12:12,639
their ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is doing in terms of speed these days

172
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:17,519
it's okay apparently they've done a lot to improve

173
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:21,760
stabilization and honestly i can see it

174
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:25,839
holy crap are you going to get a close-up of me kind of shake

175
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:42,720
that's that's pretty cool

176
00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:45,680
damn sung instead of samsung get it

177
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:49,920
damn son damn son oh it doesn't matter

178
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:54,800
there's still no sd card slot which blows um i'm still not over it i'm over

179
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,920
the headphone jack but i'm not over the sd card slot

180
00:12:56,639 --> 00:13:02,480
i don't think i ever mentioned that the selfie camera on the non ultra models is

181
00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:06,880
just 10 megapixels instead of 40 megapixels i'm not expecting it to

182
00:13:04,959 --> 00:13:11,040
honestly make an enormous difference because you're more limited by just how

183
00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:15,839
much light you can get through that tiny little hole

184
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:18,240
oh i lied

185
00:13:15,839 --> 00:13:22,320
yeah it's sharper see there's enough resolution to pick up my nose hairs on

186
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:26,480
the ultra whereas they just kind of fade away this is where higher resolutions

187
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:31,120
are just really not doing us any favors sometimes you know what i'm saying

188
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:36,000
leaving only one thing remaining price they're freaking expensive with the s22

189
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:40,320
ultra starting at twelve hundred dollars in the us

190
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:45,440
and for 128 gigs of storage with no expansion options that is a really tough

191
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:51,120
pill to swallow but it certainly appears to be the entire package in every other

192
00:13:48,959 --> 00:13:56,079
way so if you're looking for a flagship Android device i mean

193
00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:59,600
recently Yvonne needed an upgrade and i tried giving her anything other than a

194
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:03,440
samsung and she was just like yeah this is not doing it for me oneplus has

195
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,279
really slipped up on hardware or excuse me software so she wants to go back to

196
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:12,320
samsung who ironically used to be notable for their

197
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,120
terrible software experience pun intended

198
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,920
