Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra hands-on video: It s a real touch

Samsung brings together what didn't belong together in recent years. The Galaxy S22 Ultra will officially become a Note smartphone, making it very different from the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. Only with this smartphone you get the best of the best - and the S Pen. But you have to dig deep into your pocket for that. We looked at the smartphone.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra: A real note smartphone

Samsung has now officially discontinued the Note series. Even before that, since the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, they simply hadn't built a Note smartphone. With the Galaxy S21 Ultra, the stylus was optionally available for purchase, but the real integration only happened with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This smartphone is a true Note that you can slide the S Pen into the case . Accordingly, the design had to be much more angular, as one is used to from Note smartphones. In the video above you can see our first impression of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Extremely bright display installed

Technically, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the best smartphone Samsung has ever built . Only in this model do you really get everything that the company currently has to offer. This includes a huge 6.8-inch QHD+ 120Hz AMOLED display with a maximum brightness of 1,750 nits. The processor used is the new Exynos 2200 from Samsung, which offers more graphics performance with AMD power. There is also up to 1 TB of internal storage and a maximum of 12 GB of RAM. The internal memory cannot be expanded, so you should think carefully about which memory version you buy.

New camera with "Nightography"

The main camera of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra still has a resolution of 108 MP. This time, however, the pixels are larger, which should ensure better image quality. Samsung has also introduced some new features such as "Nightography" , which ensures that you can still take sharp photos and videos in any lighting situation - even at night. A low-reflection lens is also used. This is to prevent reflections from backlighting appearing on the pictures and videos. The maximum zoom of the camera is still 100x, but the image quality is said to have been greatly improved here too. Professionals can access RAW content.

The battery remains generous

Samsung installs a 5,000 mAh battery in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This is so impressive because you also had to make room for the S Pen. The battery of the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus has been reduced in size. With 45 watts, the battery is quickly charged via cable. It works wirelessly with a maximum of 15 watts. You have to buy the power supply yourself.

More updates, better ecosystem

Samsung promises four new Android versions for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. So if you buy the new top smartphone, you still get Android 16 . The smartphone is delivered with Android 12 and One UI 4.1. But not only the update policy is getting better, the ecosystem is also slowly growing together. Samsung promises high connectivity with the Galaxy Tab S8 tablets that have also been unveiled.

price and availability

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will be available from February 25, 2022 . Pre-orderers get 150 euros extra for the old device when they trade it in. In addition, the Galaxy Buds Pro as wireless in-ear headphones free of charge until the market launch.
