00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.240
just as i find myself approaching the end of the honeymoon period with my

00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:11.519
galaxy z fold 3 where the flaws of the device begin to stand out against the

00:00:08.559 --> 00:00:16.720
obvious advantages samsung has refreshed their s lineup with the s22 family we've

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:19.920
got two of them here today the s22 plus and the note 22

00:00:21.680 --> 00:00:29.439
excuse me the s22 ultra which is

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:32.000
by all appearances a spiritual successor

00:00:29.439 --> 00:00:37.040
to samsung's old note lineup that hasn't actually seen a new family member since

00:00:34.559 --> 00:00:41.760
the note 20 ultra 5g which we've also got on hand today for comparison so

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.000
let's start of course with that as something of a

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

00:00:48.160 --> 00:00:55.840
with a note and from everything that i've seen so far although that's very

00:00:52.559 --> 00:00:56.840
little this appears to be a worthy

00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:03.199
and heavyweight successor to it

00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:09.280
wow that is a flippin heavy phone

00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:13.040
now one of the reasons actually a couple of the reasons that people on the

00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:19.360
interwebs are saying that they really feel like the s22 ultra is less of an s

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.840
and more of a note is that the industrial design compared to the note

00:01:21.520 --> 00:01:28.240
series is completely different instead of having a camera bump that is

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:33.119
one large bump with multiple lenses embedded in it the s22 ultra has

00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:37.439
individual camera bumps with their own accent rings about them that i think

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:42.399
looks absolutely fantastic it's also less rounded off in the corners which

00:01:40.479 --> 00:01:48.000
is less comfortable for sure in the palm like i can tell

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:51.439
already holding the s22 plus that i'm gonna be less likely to get like a

00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:55.439
little divot buried into my buried into my palm here

00:01:53.600 --> 00:02:00.880
the edges are a little bit on the sharp side compared to the s22 ultra

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:05.119
but that gives them more internal space for of course the other big difference

00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:09.360
between the note series and the s series traditionally

00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:14.080
the embedded s pen now i've seen some complaints about the relatively boring

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

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

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

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

00:02:29.040 --> 00:02:34.800
with it it does everything from allowing you to take quick notes while the screen

00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:39.840
is still off to using it as a camera shutter which i actually used more often

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.560
than you might think and on this particular camera

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

00:02:46.160 --> 00:02:51.920
automatic fake bokeh being added here obviously not right now because i'm

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

00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:59.200
areas that the new snapdragon 8 gen 1 soc that's in the s22 series is

00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:05.360
dramatically faster than its predecessors image processing where it

00:03:01.519 --> 00:03:08.959
can handle sustained 720p 960fps

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:11.040
recording among other things as well as

00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:16.000
significantly improved machine learning performance where they are claiming that

00:03:13.519 --> 00:03:21.040
with their new ai assisted uh fake bokeh mode so let's find out

00:03:18.959 --> 00:03:25.760
here we have a portrait mode they can actually even handle like like flyaways

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:29.760
so i don't know do i have enough

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

00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.879
ladies and gentlemen

00:03:35.519 --> 00:03:42.480
i actually use this feature all the time because even if you're not

00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:46.480
using a fold which conveniently does allow you to preview your selfie

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:51.680
pictures on the main camera with the outside screen

00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:57.280
as long as you can kind of aim at yourself you can get way better selfies

00:03:54.959 --> 00:04:01.439
on a rear proper camera than you will even with a 40 megapixel front camera

00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:05.760
it's going through that tiny little hole there it's definitely losing some of the

00:04:03.519 --> 00:04:08.879
detail and in some of those little wispy hairs but

00:04:07.040 --> 00:04:11.360
not bad look at that it even got the neck hair

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.280
other main benefits of the stylus are the ability to pop up this little menu

00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:21.840
to quickly create gifs or get screenshots or write on screen

00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.639
capture so that you can jot notes down and send them off to people these are

00:04:22.960 --> 00:04:29.440
things that i have really missed about the note and could actually tempt me to

00:04:27.280 --> 00:04:33.840
return it another cool thing about the s pen this time around is apparently the

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:38.560
latency even compared to the last gen has been dramatically reduced using a

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:43.520
combination of ai and then technology that they've integrated from wacom wacom

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

00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:52.440
yeah it's like a scratchy

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

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:06.160
it's markedly different from my experience with previous s pens but in

00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:08.000
terms of the latency wow

00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:14.000
um it feels less like writing with a stylus and more like

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:20.560
just drawing on your screen like that's pretty cool back to the

00:05:18.320 --> 00:05:26.160
cameras for a second on the ultra version we've got a total of five lenses

00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:30.240
here including a main shooter that's 108 megapixels this time around a 12

00:05:28.320 --> 00:05:35.919
megapixel ultrawide 10 megapixel telephoto another 10 megapixel telephoto

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

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.400
versions of the phone you get a 50 megapixel main shooter along with 12

00:05:42.479 --> 00:05:48.320
megapixel ultrawide and 10 megapixel telephoto but just the one telephoto

00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.120
lens and both of those at least spec wise are the same this video is brought

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

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

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:05.840
was an idiot because right there there's

00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:08.080
no space there's no dash in fact the d

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

00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:17.039
saying it wrong on their official channel which was how i got confused you

00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:20.639
can let them know that it was they really need to do better and

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.639
they'll probably send you back a really a really nice politely worded message

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

00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:33.520
than ever while still having their nice grippy sides wow on a phone this big you

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

00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:41.919
course nice big clearances for all the things you're gonna need access to and

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

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.240
perfectly flush with the camera cut cutouts on the back i don't believe it's

00:06:48.479 --> 00:06:54.319
actually for sale yet but it should be very soon thanks to brand for sponsoring

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:58.960
this video remember if it's not the brand then you ate demand

00:06:56.960 --> 00:07:04.479
now in terms of the other specs where i really want to start is the display

00:07:00.880 --> 00:07:08.240
samsung it's no secret produces the best

00:07:04.479 --> 00:07:10.319
mobile phone displays in the world by

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:14.840
basically any way of measuring them and they have once again one up themselves

00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:18.000
apparently reaching 1750

00:07:16.479 --> 00:07:23.520
peak brightness but you only get that on the s22 plus as

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

00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:31.039
what some HDR content looks like on here

00:07:29.280 --> 00:07:36.319
frankly i'm not even expecting to be able to benefit from that kind of peak

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.360
brightness on just regular hdr10 content on youtube but

00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:46.080
it's interesting samsung is calling out that part of their performance outdoors

00:07:42.080 --> 00:07:47.759
with the s22 series is a.i enhancement

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:51.520
of color or something like that to make it more readable but i had actually

00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.879
noticed a similar thing where it's not just that the display brightness amps up

00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.000
but also that the color profile changes even on my old

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

00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:05.520
anything about it you could give me some clarity in the comments

00:08:03.919 --> 00:08:10.160
as usual a new generation of phones comes out and

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:15.440
it is almost without a doubt going to be the best display in your house

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:16.800
man there's a big difference between HDR

00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:22.479
and HDR in terms of other specs i already

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:27.039
mentioned that it's using a snapdragon 8 gen 1 processor but what exactly does

00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:31.440
that mean what it means Android friends is that we are still

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:37.039
a couple of generations behind apple in terms of raw performance but in the real

00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:41.919
world it means that we're getting anywhere from a

00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:43.680
five to twenty percent uplift in raw

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:48.240
performance over last generation snapdragon 888 depending on what kind of

00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:53.040
metrics you're looking at a huge boost in machine learning performance and a

00:08:50.560 --> 00:08:58.560
massive generational increase in gaming performance to the point where for games

00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.120
the s22 ultra assuming that it has no cooling issues which of course we

00:08:59.839 --> 00:09:06.640
haven't tested yet i just opened the boxes should be competitive with the

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:07.920
iphone 13 lineup in terms of games one

00:09:06.640 --> 00:09:14.080
spec change that's causing some controversy is samsung's decision to

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:17.680
downgrade the 128 gig version of the s22

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:20.880
ultra from 12 gigs on the s21 ultra to

00:09:17.680 --> 00:09:24.080
just 8 gigs you will get 12 gigs on the

00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:26.720
256 512 and one terabyte versions but on

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:31.360
the base model you actually get less RAM than last generation on the s22 and s22

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

00:09:34.640 --> 00:09:39.760
128 gig and 256 gig configurations one

00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:45.360
thing that's not looking as promising is samsung's charging technology this time

00:09:41.680 --> 00:09:46.880
around we get a 3700 4500 and 5000

00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:52.640
milliamp hour battery depending on whether we go for the s22 plus or ultra

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:57.120
but the charging rates are while good for samsung

00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:01.279
not that good compared to particularly some of their chinese competitors and

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

00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:10.640
ones personally i don't consider this to be a major issue because i almost never

00:10:08.320 --> 00:10:14.880
fast charge my phone it's just it might not kill your battery immediately but it

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

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:22.800
be able to juice your phone up quickly then you're gonna have to settle for

00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:26.560
what is it they quote uh 50 in 20 minutes or something like that

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

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

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

00:10:37.680 --> 00:10:43.120
refresh rate as well as 240 hertz touch

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:47.519
sampling in game mode so that's going to be up there with the decent gaming

00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:52.560
phones on the market and the same 10 to 120 hertz refresh window but on the

00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:57.279
ultra i'm actually expecting that even though its display is significantly

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:59.120
larger it's 6.8 freaking inches this

00:10:57.279 --> 00:11:02.640
time around you could be getting significant energy efficiency savings

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

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:10.959
refresh per second one hurts is it still

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:14.399
a hertz or is it a hurt when you have just one of them

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:19.839
one refresh per second on the display when you're looking at static content

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:21.040
that is a pretty impressive feat

00:11:19.839 --> 00:11:24.720
running through some other key specs we've got ultrasonic fingerprint sensors

00:11:22.959 --> 00:11:29.279
across the entire lineup we've got wireless charging at 15 watts across the

00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:34.480
entire lineup and Android 12 with samsung's one ui 4.1 that includes some

00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:38.640
cool features including a newer improved wallet that'll store more than just

00:11:35.839 --> 00:11:43.120
payment cards as well as a new privacy dashboard that i actually want to have a

00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:44.800
look at here that's designed to prevent

00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:47.680
any unauthorized apps from getting access to anything that you don't want

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:54.480
them to have when the clipboard is accessed that's super cool uh

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:57.200
get alerts when they have camera access

00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:02.000
that is a weird little jelly effect when you

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:04.720
can't say i'm a big fan uh shoot there was something that i had

00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:07.519
wanted to check out in here all right i remember i wanted to see how

00:12:06.079 --> 00:12:12.639
their ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is doing in terms of speed these days

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:17.519
it's okay apparently they've done a lot to improve

00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:21.760
stabilization and honestly i can see it

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:25.839
holy crap are you going to get a close-up of me kind of shake

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:42.720
that's that's pretty cool

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:45.680
damn sung instead of samsung get it

00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:49.920
damn son damn son oh it doesn't matter

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

00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:57.920
the headphone jack but i'm not over the sd card slot

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

00:13:00.560 --> 00:13:06.880
just 10 megapixels instead of 40 megapixels i'm not expecting it to

00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:11.040
honestly make an enormous difference because you're more limited by just how

00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:15.839
much light you can get through that tiny little hole

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:18.240
oh i lied

00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:22.320
yeah it's sharper see there's enough resolution to pick up my nose hairs on

00:13:20.160 --> 00:13:26.480
the ultra whereas they just kind of fade away this is where higher resolutions

00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:31.120
are just really not doing us any favors sometimes you know what i'm saying

00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:36.000
leaving only one thing remaining price they're freaking expensive with the s22

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:40.320
ultra starting at twelve hundred dollars in the us

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:45.440
and for 128 gigs of storage with no expansion options that is a really tough

00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:51.120
pill to swallow but it certainly appears to be the entire package in every other

00:13:48.959 --> 00:13:56.079
way so if you're looking for a flagship Android device i mean

00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:59.600
recently Yvonne needed an upgrade and i tried giving her anything other than a

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:03.440
samsung and she was just like yeah this is not doing it for me oneplus has

00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.279
really slipped up on hardware or excuse me software so she wants to go back to

00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:12.320
samsung who ironically used to be notable for their

00:14:10.160 --> 00:14:15.120
terrible software experience pun intended

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.920
