The S22 Ultra: A Device to Watch Out For

We're going to have a similar situation as we've had in previous years, there will be a Qualcomm chipset, as well as an Exynos chipset. The Qualcomm version, pretty obvious, it will be the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, this is the flagship chipset for most Android devices this year. But on the Exynos side of things, we're likely to have at the Exynos 2200. This is a four nanometer chip with AMD RDNA 2 architecture based on Samsung's Eclipse GPU.

Now, in terms of which one of these is going to perform better, we've seen some leaked benchmarks, but I try not to go towards benchmarks. Generally, the Qualcomm version has been superior, but maybe that's going to change this year. We'll be doing lots of tests and I will try to get both of these devices in-house, so we can do some more experience-based comparisons.

For storage, the S21 Ultra last year came in three options, 128,256, and 512 gigabytes. It is rumored that the S22 Ultra will also have a one terabyte option. Unfortunately, there will not be a micro SD card slot. We didn't have that last year, and it's not going to make a comeback this year, unfortunately.

Stereo speakers are expected, there's going to be one in the earpiece and one bottom firing. For software, it will be Android 12 with One UI 4.1. One UI for me, it's personally one of my favorite skins on Android. You've got great one-handed usage, and Samsung has actually been keeping on top of updates, so this is something that I'm definitely excited about.

For the battery, from all the leaks and rumors, it looks like we will have the same size battery as we had on the S21 Ultra, this will be around 5000 milliamps. Generally, Note devices have a slightly smaller battery because you need space for the S Pen, but it looks like by making the device maybe slightly thicker, they have managed to get the same size battery as we had on the S21 Ultra, which is great.

The S21 Ultra in my experience generally did have very good battery life, so I'd expect the same with the S22 Ultra. Now for charging, it looks like we will have improved 45 Watts wide charging available. This will have to be bought separately however, because as we had with the S21 ultra, there will not be a charger included out of the box with the S22 Ultra. You're going to get those slim boxes, which are now a fee.

Wireless charging will also be supported this will be just at 15 Watts, so not as fast as some of the competition out there. We can also expect reverse wireless charging powershare, so you can charge other devices like earbuds and things on the back of the S22 Ultra.

Finally, when can you officially hear about the S22 Ultra? Well, the current date for Unpacked is rumored to be the 9th of Feb. There was some reports saying the 8th of Feb, but most recent ones are saying 9th of Feb. And once the S22 Ultra has been officially announced, you can expect it to go on sale around a couple of weeks after that date.

For pricing, we've only had leaked pricing in Euros, which is similar to the launch price of the S21 Ultra. And considering that the S21 Ultra came in at around $1200, I'd expect the S22 Ultra to come in around about that price, maybe slightly lower, maybe slightly higher.

That's everything that we know about the S22 Ultra so far, it's pretty much everything. What do you guys think of it based on all of these leaks and rumors? Personally, I'm very excited. Do let me know what you guys think in the comments below.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- With the official SamsungGalaxy Unpacked eventweeks away, we pretty muchalready know everythingthere is to know about theSamsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.What's up guys, Saf here, onSuperSaf TV, and as always,we're going to be breakingdown all of the informationthat we have available,so you guys know exactly what to expect.This video is sponsored by HP.Stay tuned to find out howyou can print sustainably,with products available topurchase from staples.co.uk.So as we've had in previous years,there will be threeSamsung Galaxy S devices.This year there's going to be anS22, an S22+ and an S22 Ultra.Now in this video, we arejust going to be concentratingon the S22 Ultra, whichis the flagship device.And the first thingyou'll notice right awayfrom all of the leaks andrumors, is that the S22 Ultralooks quite differentto the S22 and the S22+,this is a fresh design.Samsung introduced a new designfor the S21 Ultra last year,where the camera module kindof blends into the edges,something that I really do like.And although this design hasbeen continued on to the S22and the S22+, the S22 Ultra has somethingthat Samsung hasn't really done before.We've got all of thecamera modules separate,and they are almost flushwith the back of the device.But more interestingly, the S22 Ultranow looks like it's gotmore of a boxier design.You guys know where I'm going with this.Samsung traditionally hasmore of a boxier designedfor their Note series, butas you may already know,last year, we did not have a Note device.Now this was for many reasons,one of which was the chip shortage.But if we do look at previous years,the Samsung Galaxy S linehas been getting moreand more close to the Note line,with the S Pen reallybeing the differentiator.On the S21 Ultra lastyear, it did have supportfor the S Pen, although this was somethingthat you'd have to buy separately.With the S22 Ultra, it lookslike we are getting the S Pen,but it will be included,and it will be housedwithin the device itself, likewe've had on the Note series.And Samsung has justnow teased the mergingof the Galaxy Noteseries into the S series,which all but confirms this.Now for somebody like me, who's a big fanof the Note series, I'mvery happy about this.Essentially it's a Notedevice, but it is now namedan S22 Ultra, which I'mabsolutely fine with.From the leaked info around, the size,it looks like this willbe very similar in sizeto the Samsung Galaxy Note20Ultra we had last year,a little bit thicker.And it will have an aluminium framewith curved glass panels, bothon the front and the back.The front panel will beGorilla Glass Victus+according to rumors,this will be a step abovethe current Gorilla Glass Victus we have.The S22 Ultra will be availableinitially in four colors,a black, a white, a bronze,which is similar to the Note20Ultra we've already seen,but also a new green,which looks really good.The S22 Ultra will also haveIP68 water and dust resistance.Now the S Pen will be improvedcompared to what we'vehad in previous years.And it's rumored to have a latencydown to just 2.8 milliseconds,which is amazing,a much lower latencycompared to the S Pensthat we've had in previous years.And if we move over to the front,the display actually looks very similarin terms of the design to theSamsung Galaxy Note20 Ultra.So we've got small bezelswith a center punch outfor the front facing camera.Now, although the designlooks overall the same,the technology has been improved.So we've got LTPOtechnology going all the waydown to one Hertz and allthe way up to 120 Hertz.Now this is going to beable to switch quickercompared to what we'vehad in previous years,making it more efficient.We're going to have a Quad HD+ resolution.I mean, Samsung is the bestwhen it comes to displays,so I can only expect thatthis will be one of the,if not the best display onthe market when it releases.And we've not really had much informationabout the in-display fingerprint scanner,but we can expect this tobe the ultrasonic Gen 2,or maybe an improved version of it.Right, now before wemove on to the cameras,a quick thanks to oursponsor for this video, HP.Did you know that original HPink cartridges are designedwith the planet in mind, foreasy recycling and less waste?A 100% of the original HP toner cartridgesand 82% of the original HP ink cartridgesare developed from recycled materials.Since the year 2000, 256 millionpounds of recycled plasticshave been used to make new inktoner cartridges, and HP keptover 4.7 billion plastic bottlesout of landfills and oceansby upscaling them intonew HP ink cartridges.And with the HP+, forevery page you print,HP protects or restoresforests in equal measure.I love what HP are doingfor the environmentand sustainability, and I'mso glad to partner with them.If you want to find out moreabout HP sustainability,then do check out the linkin the description below,with products available topurchase from staples.co.uk.Now for the cameras, as far as we can see,the overall setup isgoing to be quite similarto what we had on the S21 Ultra last year.So a 40 megapixel selfiecamera at the front,and then a quad rear facing camera set up,with a 12 megapixel ultra-wide camera,108 megapixel primary camerawith a super clear lens.And two telephoto cameras, onewith three times optical zoomand the other with 10 timesperiscope optical zoom.Now, although the specsare overall the same,we should be having some improved sensorsalong with the new image signal processesthat are going to comewith the new chipset,so this should give us improved imagery.And for video, it isrumored that the S22 ultrawill support 12-bit HDR recording,this will give you around64 times more colorscompared to what we had previously.Now, personally speaking forme, the Samsung Galaxy seriesgenerally has the bestvideo on the Android side,so I'm very excited to seewhat the S22 Ultra would offer.And of course, we're going tobe doing lots of SuperSaf-stylecamera comparisons as soonas the S22 Ultra is in-house.If you want to make sure youdon't miss any of that coverage,then do subscribe and hit that bell icon.Right, moving on, what is theS22 Ultra going to be
