**Comparing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra with its Predecessors**

I'm like oh you know I had a 500 nit phone before it's not like triple the brightness going up to the screen it's not even close it's probably like half that okay now all three of these phones have an under display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and they're seemingly all the same in terms of speed like I thought that maybe the ultra would be faster than the other two but from what I tested they're all the same uh the ultra also has the S Pen so this S Pen is actually a little bit different from all the s pens that we've seen on like older note devices it's still a slim pen because it's got to fit inside the device but it's got this matte rubber coating on it which makes it so much nicer to use I feel like a lot of the older node devices they had these pens that were like slippery and sleek and very color ful right they have these like shiny blue and shiny yellow ones but they just weren't nice to write on this is a lot better it's still not a thick pen like I would prefer uh a girthier pen uh but it's a lot better than previous devices and the latency is very low like it's I think it's been reduced to like 2.8 milliseconds or something like that you can tell like when you draw on this thing you write on it there's very little latency between when you draw the stroke and when you see it appear on the screen.

**Pricing Strategy**

In terms of pricing they have surprisingly kept the pricing from the previous years of Galaxy S devices so it starts at $7.99 at the base and it goes up in $200 increments as you go up to bigger and better devices now the thing I'm most surprised about was this device initially I was like they have the same pricing at $1.99 but now they include the S Pen but then you realize that at that base model that $199 model the 128 gig storage they don't have the full 12 gigs of RAM it's this 8 gig model and I don't know how I feel about it like on one hand it's good that they have this kind of entry level pricing for the Galaxy s22 Ultra if you want to get into it but at the same time it's like it's the Ultra phone right it's got the higher red screen so any art Assets in games that you're loading or just Assets in general that you load into memory are going to be bigger than the 1080p version also you have the pen functionality and because you have that if you're ever drawing a note or writing something that's going to load up into the memory when you're swapping between stuff this is just going to inherently use more memory than the regular S Series phones and I just feel like they should have just thrown in 12 at the the entry level I really feel like it's important for this part this type of device but that $200 price difference between the regular s22 and the s22 plus gets you a bigger screen a bigger battery as well as faster charging.

**Performance Comparison with S22 Plus**

but in terms of differences that are kind of in the performance I can't tell you I need to get review units in actually test them out but my feeling or my guess is that the s22 plus because it's bigger and we're dealing with a chip that can get pretty hot if you push it uh it'll just get better performance than the regular s22 now the camera system I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with them but the s22 ultra seems to have a really good camera system the low light photography is some of the best I've seen like it's weirdly good at picking out details in really poor lighting conditions and even with good lighting the shots look very promising now I do need to spend way more time with this camera system to do a proper review on it which will come in the future and I want to compare it with the regular s22 devices uh so these are running one UI 4.1 and I think all the s22 devices in North America are going to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 but there is this rumor that Samsung is going to be supporting these devices for guaranteed 4 years of Android operating system updates or like four generations of Android os's which is awesome plus 5 years of security which I think really makes a big difference like it adds a lot of value to a product like this.

**Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Tab S8 Ultra with Notch**

I also took a look at the tab products which I'll be doing in a separate video but the tab S8 Ultra with its Notch looks pretty wild

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right so Samsung announced a bunch of new devices today they had the s22 the s22 plus and the s22 ultra and I was able to spend a little bit of time with all of them and I even swapped my sim over to the s22 ultra and I thought I'd give some kind of early Impressions and thoughts about these devices so when I unboxed this thing the package is a little bit smaller this year and inside it's pretty basic you have your phone you have the USBC charging cable as well as a SIM card tool now the devices this year have a glass back on all three devices so the s22 the s22 Plus as well as the s22 ultra all have Gorilla Glass victus plus and it's unlike last year's lineup they had plastic for the regular S21 and I think they did it to kind of differentiate between the premiumness of the devices but this year it's glass all around and on the s22 and s22 plus it's got a flat front so no curvature at all and on the back of those two devices you have a tweaked or updated version of that iconic camera hump they have it's this design that's really grown on me over the past year and it looks a little bit cleaner and more modern this year now on the s20 2 ultra this device has a very different aesthetic from the other two the front glass is curved and it's not like a apologetic curve like we saw last year on the S21 Ultra the s22 ultra this year it's almost like a straightup round corner and it's very much like the curvature of the note 20 from a couple years ago in fact the whole design is very much note 20 like it's got very similar dimensions and it even has the S Pen that's stored internally but the s22 ultra does not support micro SD so if you need a lot of storage you have to pay for it up front now this device has a camera array that is a little bit different uh just from every other phone out there so it's basically got cutouts in the glass for five different protrusions and this is the type of kind of camera styling you only see if there's like a single lens right like old phones with single lenses they would have a single aperture cut out for that one lens right and ever since then it's just been camera humps and bumps and just clusters of camera stuck into some kind of shape in the back of phones but this is just holes and to me this is a pretty classic look but I think everyone's going to be a little different on this in terms of the colors I saw these devices in this Phantom black which exists across the whole line and it's a pretty standard matte black to me I think they made a big deal of it last year but it's a nice black it's just it's just black uh there's also a phantom white which has this iridescent pearly finish to it which I think is pretty cool and on the regular s22 and s22 plus there's this pink gold which looks nice but the coolest color across the board to me is this green color they have this year it's a dark green so it's not obnoxiously bright but at the same time it's got this Rich saturation to it I think it's a really nice color and if I could get a different colored review unit instead of this black one it'd definitely be that green one now in terms of the size we have this big boy here the s22 ultra and because it's got curved glass and rounded edges I would definitely throw a case on this thing if this is the size you're going for uh in terms of the other two the s22 and the s22 plus they are a little bit smaller this year than you might expect and it's not just the frame it's actually the displays they've been shrunken down a little bit so they have a 6 .1 and a 6.6 in screen now respectively and they're both 1080p ltpo panels that can hit up to 120 HZ they're not the highest in resolution but they look good but in true Ultra form the ultra version has the best screen so this has a 1440p panel also with ltpo tech in here but this time it can go down as low as 1 Hertz and it's also a bigger screen at 6.8 in but the peak brightness on this display is 1750 nits it's the brightest screen I've ever seen on paper uh but the thing you have to keep in mind with knit count is that knit count and perceived brightness don't have this like linear relationship like if you double the knit count do not double the perceived brightness so if you have like a 500 nit screen and like a th knit screen even though that that thousand knit screen is double the knit count it's probably only like 50% brighter so uh it's just something to keep in mind if you're looking at like an older phone and you're like oh you know I had a 500 nit phone before it's not like triple the brightness going up to the screen it's not even close it's probably like half that okay now all three of these phones have an under display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and they're seemingly all the same in terms of speed like I thought that maybe the ultra would be faster than the other two but from what I tested they're all the same uh the ultra also has the S Pen so this S Pen is actually a little bit different from all the s pens that we've seen on like older note devices it's still a slim pen because it's got to fit inside the device but it's got this matte rubber coating on it which makes it so much nicer to use I feel like a lot of the older node devices they had these pens that were like slippery and sleek and very color ful right they have these like shiny blue and shiny yellow ones but they just weren't nice to write on this is a lot better it's still not a thick pen like I would prefer uh a girthier pen uh but it's a lot better than previous devices and the latency is very low like it's I think it's been reduced to like 2.8 milliseconds or something like that you can tell like when you draw on this thing you write on it there's very little latency between when you draw the stroke and when you see it appear on the screen now in terms of pricing they have surprisingly kept the pricing from the previous years of Galaxy S devices so it starts at $7.99 at the base and it goes up in $200 increments as you go up to bigger and better devices now the thing I'm most surprised about was this device initially I was like they have the same pricing at $1.99 but now they include the S Pen but then you realize that at that base model that $199 model the 128 gig storage they don't have the full 12 gigs of RAM it's this 8 gig model and I don't know how I feel about it like on one hand it's good that they have this kind of entry level pricing for the Galaxy s22 Ultra if you want to get into it but at the same time it's like it's the Ultra phone right it's got the higher red screen so any art Assets in games that you're loading or just Assets in general that you load into memory are going to be bigger than the 1080p version also you have the pen functionality and because you have that if you're ever drawing a note or writing something that's going to load up into the memory when you're swapping between stuff this is just going to inherently use more memory than the regular S Series phones and I just feel like they should have just thrown in 12 at the the entry level I really feel like it's important for this part this type of device but that $200 price difference between the regular s22 and the s22 plus gets you a bigger screen a bigger battery as well as faster charging but in terms of differences that are kind of in the performance I can't tell you I need to get review units in actually test them out but my feeling or my guess is that the s22 plus because it's bigger and we're dealing with a chip that can get pretty hot if you push it uh it'll just get better performance than the regular s22 now the camera system I wasn't able to spend a lot of time with them but the s22 ultra seems to have a really good camera system the low light photography is some of the best I've seen like it's weirdly good at picking out details in really poor lighting conditions and even with good lighting the shots look very promising now I do need to spend way more time with this camera system to do a proper review on it which will come in the future and I want to compare it with the regular s22 devices uh so these are running one UI 4.1 and I think all the s22 devices in North America are going to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 gen 1 but there is this rumor that Samsung is going to be supporting these devices for guaranteed 4 years of Android operating system updates or like four generations of Android os's which is awesome plus 5 years of security which I think really makes a big difference like it adds a lot of value to a product like this it's like a high-end product yeah I think that's very important in this day and age so there you have it these are the uh the s22 devices I also took a look at the tab products which I'll be doing in a separate video but the tab S8 Ultra with its Notch looks pretty wild okay hope you guys enjoyed this video thumbs if you liked it subs if you loved it I'll see
