**Comparing the Samsung S22 Ultra and S21 Ultra: A Detailed Review**

Samsung has managed to get an impressive size battery into the S22 Ultra, considering that the S Pen takes up space inside the device. This is quite an accomplishment, especially when compared to previous devices like the S Pen-enabled S21 Ultra.

As for my personal experience with battery life, I've had really good battery life with the S21 Ultra, and so far, I'm getting similar battery life with the S22 Ultra. The S22 Ultra seems to be lasting me around six hours of screen on time with my usage, which is pretty consistent. However, it's worth noting that battery life can vary greatly depending on individual usage patterns. My usage hasn't been significantly different between the two devices, but I wouldn't say that the S22 Ultra is lasting much longer or shorter than the S21 Ultra.

One thing to note is that both devices have the same Qi Wireless Charging speed of 15 Watts, which hasn't seen any significant improvements with the S22 Ultra. However, the S22 Ultra does support faster 45 Watt charging, whereas the S21 Ultra can only support a maximum of 25 Watts of charging.

When it comes to speakers, I've found that both devices have really good stereo speakers. The earpiece and speaker button on both devices sound pretty much the same to me. However, I do prefer the positioning of the speaker on the S21 Ultra, which is in the same space as the camera. This means that when I'm gaming, occasionally, I can avoid blocking it up.

For storage and pricing, both devices are available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB versions. However, the S22 Ultra is also available in a 1TB version, which may be suitable for those who need more storage space. Neither device is expandable, and the prices of the devices have changed slightly with the release of the new model.

The S21 Ultra starts at the same price as the S22 Ultra, but the S22 Ultra comes with 8GB of RAM instead of 12GB in the base model. There are also slight differences in pricing for larger storage versions. If you're looking to buy either device now, you can expect to pay around £800 or $900 for the S21 Ultra.

Samsung is offering some crazy pre-order deals on the S22 Ultra, including prices that are lower than expected. On Samsung's website, you can get the 256GB version of the S22 Ultra for the same price as the 128GB version, and the 512GB version for half the price. Additionally, there are good trade-in offers available, which may be worth considering if you're currently using an older device.

So, should you upgrade from your S21 Ultra to an S22 Ultra? In my personal opinion, I wouldn't think so. The S21 Ultra is still an excellent device that will continue to serve you well for a long time. While the S22 Ultra does come with some improvements, they may not be significant enough to warrant an upgrade already.

However, if you are someone who uses the S Pen a lot and wants to take advantage of some of those trade-in deals, it might be worth considering trading in your S21 Ultra for the S22 Ultra. And if you're thinking about whether to buy the S21 Ultra or wait for the S22 Ultra, with all the pre-order deals available right now, I would recommend going for the newer device and saving a bit of money. That's what I think anyway.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: en- Now that the Samsung GalaxyS22 Ultra is available.How does it compareto last year's Samsung galaxy S21 Ultra?What's up guys.Saf here on SuperSaf TV.And that's exactly what we'llbe finding out in this video.We're going to be doing aside by side comparison,SuperSaf Style.And we'll be trying toanswer the question.If you've got the S21 Ultra right nowshould you upgrade to the S22 Ultra?And if you're new in the market,which one should you buy?I want to initially kick offby talking about the design.Now I'm going to justgo ahead and say thisin my personal opinion,I think the S21 Ultra isa better looking devicethanks to this console cut camera modulewhich blends into the edges.This is a really uniquedesign and the S21 Ultrawas my favorite-lookingsmartphone of 2021.And it still holds up.The S22 Ultra is not bad by any means.We've got these individual camera rings,which do look pretty good.I just prefer the contourcut camera module.They're both roughly aboutthe same when it comesto the size and weight.But the thing to noteis that the S21 Ultra is alot more curved on the edgesversus the more squarededges on the S22 Ultra.And you guys probably already know this,but this is because the S22 Ultrais following the design languageof Note devices that we've had previously,compared to S devices.I'd also say that the S21 Ultraoverall is a little bitmore comfortable to hold.Thanks to these curves on the edgesversus the more pokeysides of the S22 Ultra,but the S22 Ultra isavailable in more colors.So the S21 Ultra is availablein a phantom black and a phantom silver.It was also available ina few exclusive colorswhich you can no longer from samsung.com.The S22 Ultra comes in four colors.We've got a phantomblack, a phantom white,a burgundy as well as a green.And there are three additionalexclusive colors availablefrom samsung.com.We've got a red, a graphiteas well as a sky blue.If you're interested inpicking one of those upyou can use my link in the descriptionand that's also going togive you $50 of credit.And both devices are really premium.And we've got an aluminum armor framewith Gorilla GlassVictus on the S21 Ultra,and Gorilla Glass VictusPlus on the S22 Ultra.This is apparently 12.5% stronger.I'm not sure how they'vereached this numberand I'm not somebody who does drop tests,but the S21 Ultra has beenquite durable in my experience.And I expect the S22 Ultra tobe the same or even better.Both devices do have IP68water and dust resistance.And let's now move over to the front.So both are following the Infinity-Odesigned with smallbezels and a punch out.Both devices are also curved on the edges.However, the S22 Ultra doeshave more of a pronounced curvecompared to that on the S21 Ultra.Both devices have a 6.8 inch displaywith Dynamic AMOLED 2X technologyQuad HD Plus resolutionwith a refresh rateof up to 120 Hertz, makingeverything really smooth.Now, let me just go ahead and saythat the S21 Ultra had oneof the best displays of 2021,and it still holds up today.It's still one of the best displayson the smartphone market,but of course Samsung hasimproved a few things hereon the S22 Ultra.Firstly, the adaptive refreshrate can go all the way downto just one Hertz.Whereas the S21 Ultracan only onto 10 Hertz.This is going to makethe S22 Ultra displaya little bit more efficient.And we also had a higher peak brightnesson the S22 Ultra allthe way up to 1,750 nitscompared to the alreadyvery bright displayon the S21 Ultra with 1,500 nits.So realistically speaking,both of these are excellent displaysand you can't go wrong with either,but yes the S22 Ultra doeshave some improvements.Both also have an in-displayultrasonic fingerprint scanner.This is the Qualcomm3D Sonic Gen 2 sensor.So that's not a change.This works really well.I like it and I really do prefer itto optical in-display fingerprint scannerswhich shine a big light wheneveryou're trying to unlock.Let's now talk about the cameras,but just to quickly remind you.If you're enjoying this video so farand you want to see more videos like thisthen maybe consider subscribingand hitting that bell icon.So you're notified as soon asI upload a fresh new video.Now I know a lot ofyou guys are interestedin the camera setup andwhat the differences are.I'm going to try to breakeverything down for youas best I can with some samples as well.Now on paper, they seempretty much exactly the same.We've got a 40 megapixel selfie camerawith a quad rear-facing camerasetup and laser auto focus.You've got a 12 megapixelultra wide cameraand generally speaking,you get some great resultswith both of these excellent dynamic rangewith lots of detail.Then we have the 108megapixel primary cameras.Now the S22 Ultra does have larger pixelsaround 1.2, three times.So in good light,I think they are stillpretty much neck and neck.But when it comes to low light,I've noticed that on the S22 Ultrayou don't have to keep the shutter openfor as long as you haveto do on the S21 Ultra.Also, when it comes toextreme low-light situationsI did find that the S22Ultra performed better.And one of the other newfeatures that we've goton the S22 Ultra is detailenhancer at 108 megapixels.Now, once again the S21 Ultrastill takes great imagesat 108 megapixels.But, if you look really, really closeyou might notice that'swith the detail enhancer on,you are just going to getsome more crisp detailson the S22 Ultra.Now, when it comes to the zoom cameras,both have a three timesas well as a 10 times optical zoom camera.And to be fair, the S21Ultra still holds up.But thanks to the improvementson the image signalprocessor and software,the S22 Ultra was a tad sharper, I found.And when we zoom in at 10times, again they're very close,but when we get to 30 timesyou will start noticing that on the housethe lines are just alittle bit more definedon the S22 Ultra comparedto the S21 Ultra.And when we go in allthe way to 100 times zoomwhich is super creepy,again, the S21 ultra is still holding up.But the S22 Ultra justhas some nice refinements.Again, those lines are justclearer on the S22 Ultra.Now one area where I definitelydid notice an improvementon the S22 Ultra is whenit comes to portrait.So Samsung is using a newAI depth mapping algorithmand this is really goodat detecting edges.So although the S21 Ultrastill does pretty wellyou'll notice in theseexamples that the S22 Ultrais just better when itcomes to edge detection.Now on the S21 Ultrayou can take portraitsat one times, two times,as well as three times.On the S22 Ultra,you can only take portraitsat one times and three times.Now, I'm really not concerned about thisbecause when you are attwo times on the S21 Ultra,it's actually using digitalzoom because the S21 Ultradoes not have a two timesdedicated optical zoom camera.And this results in very softimages at two times anyway.For video, both can recordat 8K 24 frames a secondand 4k 60 frames a secondacross all cameras.But we do have some newfeatures on the S22 Ultra.Firstly, thanks to thatdepth mapping technologythe portrait video is better,and you can also doportrait video with bothone times as well as the threetimes optical zoom cameraon the S22 Ultra.On the S21 Ultra, you canonly do it at one times.The S22 Ultra also has a newfeature called Auto Framing.This is where it's goingto take a wide angle viewand then zoom into subjects.I mean, this does work.It's not something I cansee myself using too much.So generally speakingalthough there are someimprovements here on the S22 Ultra,I still feel that the S21Ultra has excellent cameraswhich still do hold up.Let's now talk about the performance.So the Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultracomes with last year's chip sets.We've got the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888or the Samsung Exynos 2100,depending on your region.The S22 Ultracomes with the latestQualcomm snapdragon 8 Gen 1or the Samsung Exynos 2200.Now, it's really difficultto talk about performancebecause having tried both of these outthey do handle everythingthat I've thrown at them.Now I'm not somebody who gamestoo much on my smartphonebut my buddy Thunder E fromBooredatwork is a gamer.And in his testing, he didfind that the S22 Ultradid maintain slightly lower temperatureswhen gaming for a longer period of time.And it was also more efficient over time.So after say an hour of gaminghe did lose less battery lifeon the S22 Ultra comparedto the S21 Ultra.I'm going to leave his video linkeddown in the description belowif you want to check that out.But generally speaking, yes the S22 Ultrais going to give you a slightedge in terms of performance.But the S21 Ultra isstill really, really good.Now for Ram, the S21Ultra does have more Ramcompared to the S22 Ultra.You've got either 12 or 16 gigabytes.The S22 Ultra has eight or 12 gigabytes.Now, in my day to dayI really did not findmuch of a difference.There's also a feature called Ram Pluswhich is going to give yousome more virtual memorythat it's going to take from the Ram.Honestly speaking, everything that I triedworked absolutely fineon both of these devices.And I didn't really noticetoo much of a difference.Sure, if you're going to beswitching through many, many appsthen the 16 gigabyte Ram versionof the S21 Ultra mightgive you a slight edge.I personally don't have that with me.So I can't test that out, Unfortunately.Now for software,both devices currently haveAndroid 12 with one UI.We've got one UI 4.0 justupdated on my S21 Ultra.On the S22 Ultra, it comes withone UI, 4.1 out of the box.Samsung has been really good with updatesand they are also supporting their devicesfor quite a bit longer comparedto many other competitors.But being the new device the S22 Ultrais obviously going to have updatesfor a longer period of timecompared to the S21 Ultra.Now, before we talk about the batterieslet's talk about the featurethat makes the S22 Ultraunique and different to the S21 Ultra.And that is the enclosed S Pen.So the S21 Ultra does havesupport for the S Pen.However, this is somethingthat's not enclosedwithin the deviceand it's something thatyou have to buy separately.Now, I did try the S Penon the S21 Ultra last yearbut because there wasn'treally somewhere to house it,you'd have to get abulky case or something.And I really found myselfnot using it at all.However, with the S22 Ultra,it is carrying over that Note DNAand having the S Penenclosed within the devicereally makes a big difference.So if you are somebody likeme who uses is the S Pen a lotfor editing images and other things,then I really do think you'llappreciate having the S Penincluded with the S22 Ultra.Right, battery size and battery life.So both devices have theexact same battery size,5,000 mAh.Now it is quite impressivethat Samsung has managedto get this size batteryinto the S22 Ultra,considering that the S Pendoes take up space inside the device.And what has my experiencebeen with battery life?So the S21 Ultra for me hashad really good battery life.And in my usage of the S22 Ultraso far I'm getting prettysimilar battery lifecompared to the S21 Ultra.So that's roughly about sixhours plus of screen on timewith my usage.I know usage varies from person to personbut I haven't really noticeda huge deal of difference.It's not like the S22 Ultrais lasting me a lot longeror a lot less.Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing,because once again I want to emphasizethat the S21 Ultra doeshave excellent battery life.Now for charging, both ofthese have the same speedof Qi Wireless Charging at 15 Watts.So this hasn't been improved.We've also got reverse wireless chargingwireless power share,where you can charge things like earbudson the back of these devices.And neither of these comewith a charger included out of the box.However, the S22 Ultra cansupport faster 45 watt charging.Whereas the S21 Ultracan only support a maximumof 25 watts of charging.Now for speakerswe've got really good stereospeakers on both devices.We've got one in the earpiece and one button firing.They both sound prettymuch the same to me.However, I do prefer thepositioning of the speakeron the S21 Ultra, which is inthe same space as the camera.So when I am gaming, occasionally,then I'm not really going to block it up.Now, I know most people when they gameuse earphones, I don't.With the S22 Ultra,if you are holding the device in landscapethen you can cover thebottom (indistinct) speaker.Right, finally storage and pricing.So both devices areavailable in a 128, 256,as well as a 512 gigabyte version.However, the S22 Ultra is also availablein a one terabyte version, ifyou really need that storage.Neither are expandable.And the S22 Ultra does startat the same price as theS21 Ultra started at.However, you do get eight gigabytes of Raminstead of the 12 gigabytesof RAM for the base model.And there are slight differencesfor the larger storage versions.However, because the S21Ultra has been out for a year.If you want to pick it up right now,you can get it for around800 pounds or $900 renewed.The S22 Ultra, Samsung areactually giving some really crazypre-order deals.So right now on Samsung's websiteyou can get the 256 gigabyteversion for the priceof the 128 gigabyte version,or the 512 gigabyte versionfor the price of the 256 gigabyte version.You can also get anadditional $50 of creditusing my link down inthe description below.As well as some reallygood trade-in offers.So to answer the questionfrom the start of this video.If you have an S21 Ultra,should you upgrade it to the S22 ultra?In my personal opinion, don't think so.I think the S21 Ultra isstill an excellent deviceand it's still going to beabsolutely fine for you.Yes, you're getting quitea few improvements hereon the S22 Ultrabut I don't think they'resignificant enoughto warrant an upgrade already.However, if you are somebodywho uses the S Pen a lotand maybe you want to take advantageof some of those trade-in deals.Then it might be worth consideringtrading in your S21 Ultraand getting the S22 Ultra.And if you're somebodywho's currently thinkingshould you buy the S21 Ultra insteadof the S22 Ultra and save a bit of money?In my personal opinion,with all of the pre-order dealsthat you can get right now.I would go for the S22 Ultra.You're getting the newer deviceand it's going to lastyou that much longer.That's what I think anyway.What do you guys think?Do drop me a comment belowand let me know your thoughts.If you want to see more S22 Ultra contentmaybe you want to see how itcompares to the
