**Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Hands-On: A Comprehensive Review**

As we continue to explore the latest offerings from Samsung, our attention turns to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, a device that promises to deliver unparalleled performance, camera capabilities, and features. In this article, we'll delve into the details of what makes the S22 Ultra stand out from its siblings, the standard S22 and S22 Plus.

**Faster Charging with Support for Samsung's 45 Watt Charger**

One of the key features of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is its support for fast charging, which can reach speeds of up to 45 watts. However, it's worth noting that this feature is not included in the box, so if you want to take advantage of faster charging speeds, you'll need to purchase an optional charger separately. This Samsung adapter costs $45 and can be found at various online retailers.

To put this into perspective, last year's S21 series only supported 25 watt charging, so the S22 Ultra's improved charging capabilities are a significant upgrade. If you're curious about how much faster 45 watt charging gets you, rest assured that it will make a noticeable difference in terms of battery life and overall charging speed.

**More Regions Getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Processor**

In a surprising twist, more regions than expected are getting the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor on their S22 series devices. This includes North America, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Gulf countries. However, it's only in the EU and UK that users will be stuck with the Exynos version of the processor.

For those who don't care about the processor specifics, rest assured that the Galaxy S22 Ultra offers some of the best cameras on a Samsung phone. The device features a 108 megapixel primary camera with Samsung's largest image sensor ever, which promises to deliver improved performance in low light and shallower depth of field.

**Camera Software Improvements**

In addition to hardware improvements, Samsung is also making significant strides in the realm of camera software. The company has introduced a new advanced auto focusing system and improved stability, both of which will be covered in more detail in a separate video review. For now, it's safe to say that the S22 Ultra offers some of the best camera capabilities on any smartphone.

**Comparison Chart and Pricing**

To help you decide between the S22, S22 Plus, and S22 Ultra, we've put together a handy comparison chart that can be found on our social media channels or on the Gadget Match website. As for pricing, the Galaxy S22 Ultra starts at just under $1,200 for the 8GB+1TB model, with other storage options and variants available.
