The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra takes the best parts of the Galaxy S Ultra and the Galaxy Note Ultra and puts them together. This gives power users almost everything they could want. The Galaxy S22 Ultra has great specs and software with a lot of features and a lot of support. It also has the S Pen and a lot of productivity tools that no other phone has. Even though it doesn’t have much soul, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is a technical marvel that can’t be taken away from.
At the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is easy to use and beautiful. like the sharp, squared-off angles and that the cameras aren’t stuck in a big bump. They fit better into the back of the phone. The look as a whole is simple and sleek.

It might have the same WQHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate as last year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, but this year’s LTPO technology lets the device drop to as low as 1Hz when static images are shown on the screen. That puts Samsung on the same level as OnePlus and Apple, whose 120Hz screens are all made by Samsung.
Not only do the cameras look alike, but they are also almost the same. There are two 10MP telephoto lenses. One has an aperture of f/2.4 and a field of view (FOV) of 36 degrees, and the other has an aperture of f/4.9 and a FOV of 11 degrees.
There is also a 12MP ultrawide camera with a 120-degree FOV and a 108MP main wide camera with an 85-degree FOV and an f/1.8 aperture. As usual with Samsung’s best phones, there is some debate about the processor inside. In the US, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, but in the UK and Europe, it will have a Samsung Exynos 2200 processor instead. Usually, Exynos chips are a bit slower and use more power than Snapdragon chips.
The battery life was not very consistent. We did get about 18 hours of solid use out of the huge 5,000 mAh battery and high-performance, energy-efficient CPU, but we thought we might get more.
