[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hudrator:
Which we will have to see - you have other OEMs out there who make at least questionable choices regarding hardware to keep prices on the same niveau as last year devices. We all know that during the current situation nearly everything get's more expensive. Especially all technology related components. I don't expect Samsung to equal this rise in production costs cutting there own margin. Especially in a situation where a "Prices rising due to risen production costs" is still not as questionable then the years before.

Regarding the relation of "huge internal memories" on the overall product availeability as well as price hikes - can't see them unitl now in the region i am living at. Especially as 256GB seems to be the sweetspot for most OEMs in premium sector. Just keep in mind that beside Samsung there are only a few manufacturers offering configurations lager then 256GB. Currently i am only aware of Apple and Sony in some "pro" devices.

Also you are missing the downside of that SD card - speed. Even the newest standards are slower then anything in the current flagships. Before going the 128GB + SD Card route i would prefer the "native" 256GB Version - Just because the overall flexibility of that storage vor different purposes is higher AND the convenience. Also there are changes in the overall way of offering and consume content from an enduser point of view. The point for saving battery - yes. But until now these premium devices are designed for specific usecases - not overall efficiency.

Sorry, but that is where it belongs to - decades ago. Smart factories as well as flexible production planning will at least ease this problems. So do the unified engeneering approaches as well as production sourcing. Also you have to keep in mind that the product isn't redesingned or you need huge changes in the overall processes just for change a storage configuration. This is something that can be planed easily ahead - even before you have acutal numbers of units to produce.

Don't expect the price of the "base"-configuration to change a lot. The cost will be added to the effected products while keeping your targeted margin for the overall product line.

when i got my S20+... i was so happy with it..... it had everything i needed. good camera, fast processor, sd card slot, esim (so i can have 2 active lines and the sdcard, one sim, one esim and one sdcard). the camera occasionally (ok, quite frequently) kept trying to refocus, which is very irritating.. autofocus is slow but still acceptable.. but oddly enough the phone sometimes get very hot for no reason in my pants.. so hot i had to takeit out from my pocket and let it cool down (when i am at quarry working under direct sunlight at 36degree celsius.) i am fine with all these issues.. until........

oh my god the phone got soooooo hot when i play games. it is very very bad... and within 15 minutes the phone will start to thermal throttle which makes the game unplayable..

years later, i am still using that phone. i bought a nintendo switch for games and use my phone for other stuff like.. which it works just fine..

but deep down, i am still pissed at Samsung at their audacity of launching the Exynos 990. They even switched their own domestic market Korea to snapdragon.

if it is not for these issues, i would still be using my S20+.

OKAY... another reason is i do not know how and why some water vapor got into the phone and will fog up the lens occasionally making the camera unusable. with the pandemic i need the camera to scan QR codes on a goverment app for contact tracing....

i think i would get the highest spec s22 ultra and hope it would break my record for longest phone used.. hopefully, 6 years..

First Place: Nokia 8210- 5 years

Second Place: Samsung Note 2- 4 years

Third Place: Nokia 6810- 3 years
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Now that the S22's have been released here's my take.

Whenever I consider an upgrade it's valuable to understand what the upgrade will offer over my current device. I wouldn't consider the S22 or S22 Plus, there's a better option in the S72 at a much lower price with features I'd use like the MicroSD, 3.5 Jack and larger display.

With the S22 Ultra the biggest improvement to me is the cameras are now flush with the back panel. The camera lenses still protrude a bit which may cause problems but the housing is gone.

Aother advantage is the 45W Charging. In practical terms it's not a big upgrade. With Super Fast Charging on the S21 Ultra it takes about an hour or less to get from 10% to fully charged. So 45W charging might reduce that by what, 15 minutes?

There's also a new Vapor Chamber to enhance heat disapation but until we get some user feedback it's too soon to check that box.

The camera upgrades are minimal, I doubt in most instances few would know if a photo or video was taken by an S21 or S22 Ultra. They're identical to the S21 Ultra cameras but the S22 Ultra goes a step further with AI, Image Stabilization and a larger ISOCell.

The S-Pen isn't a feature I would use either. Others would enjoy the benefit no doubt but I have no use for it plus I can already employ it on the S21 Ultra.

So what's left, a few new colors?

I'm not a fan of boxey devices. Actually the S22 Ultra is a Phablet which won't be easy to use one handed or slide into your front pocket. Add a case and it's profile is closer to a brick than a mobile phone.

If you are going to aquire the S22 Ultra and you need 512GB's or more internal storage, do it soon. Samsung ran out of the 512GB on the S21 Ultra in a matter of weeks. For me this is a major problem with Samsung, to get acceptable storage the price goes sky high.

If anyone can give me a good reason Samsung axed the MicroSD on S21's and S22's but still includes it on their mid-level devices I'd listen but I haven't heard one good reason yet. Because iPhone doesen't offer it? Sorry but that's a weak excuse. Also, spare everyone the swill over Cloud Storage. It's not secure, costs money every month and can't be accessed nearly as quickly as a MicroSD.

Lastly the S22 Ultra may have some inherent deficiencies in the Exynos 2200 which has experienced significant production issues and Android 12 which still isn't stable. I wouldn't want to be a guinea pig navigating those concerns.

Bottom line besides a few small improvements the S22 Ultra doesn't do anything more than what an S21 Ultra can handle. Definitely no compelling motives to "upgrade" to an S22 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
Why

Why da hell would you get (consider) the S22 Ultra when you already have the S21 Ultra lol. I'm upgrading cause I got a Note 9 and really need the upgraded camera module. If I had your phone I'd wait and get the S24 or S25 Ultra.

In any case, I got the 1TB Black. Can't wait!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
As I've stated I'm not considering the S22 Ultra. Normally I upgrade every year but I find myself less inclined to do so.

Samsung is not offering anything compelling. If my daily driver was a Note 9 I'd want to upgrade also but not to the S22Ultra, I don't care for the device. I still use my S10 Plus, I think it's one of Samsung's best products.

I skipped the S20 Ultra and will do the same with the S22 Ultra. Samsung is dropping features I would use and I'm not a fan of the Note Series which is what this S22 Ultra actually is.

If Samsung continues moving away from the traditional S Series I'll move to a different brand. For what their devices deliver I feel they're over priced and underwhelming.

Samsung continues to lose market share in the flagship segment and I don't see the S22 Ultra changing that trajectory.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
Sorry you feel that way. I feel the total opposite. No one even comes close to Samsung in terms of hardware and software. Are they perfect? No. But even when considering the negatives, they are the leader in mobile phones in my eye. S21 Ultra won the phone of the year by many sites and I don't think things will be different this year.

From the early look at things, the camera seems to be an incredible upgrade despite having the same megapixels as they are an updated sensor. Can't wait for reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The cam is not going to be that much better unless the previous one had gross defects.

Even the N10+ holds up well to the latest releases. They could improve maybe metering and AF in some scenarios. Did they? Probably not that much.

Samsung just hasn't done that much or much better since the N20U. They even forgot their name...

WHAT'S MY NAME?

NOTE!!!

Are you listening Sammy?🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
The cameras are identical to the S21 Ultra, the only difference is in the AI processing and image stabilization. Hope you enjoy your new device, keep us posted!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
Absolutely not identical. The megapixels are the same the but compared to the ISOCELL HM3 in the Galaxy S21 the new sensor is an upgrade with bigger pixel size among other updates. And yes, I can't wait!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
From the initial hands-on reviews, the cameras are definitely not a minor upgrade. With that said, I should've blocked you like that other fella earlier. It's one thing to say something and another to say it like a full on idiot. Good bye.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Do what you want. I hit the ignore button sometimes when the exchanges seem pointless.

If you want the newest flagship Samsung it's the only game there is. Either way it's no skin off my back.

Personally I want what serves me best. I expect to wait at least a year until Samsung and Android get their crap together but it will likely be 2-3 years. I have no issues using the N10+ for another 2+ years.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AeroSatan:
Notice how everyone thinks you're a troll. If you can't spot the idiot in the room, guess what??....
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Any time I hear someone use the troll word it's someone that can't handle themselves verbally. How ya gonna do in the street with hostiles in your face not holding back nothing? I wuv to see that discussion...

That's your retort?🤣 How inept.

If you can't handle my opinions by replying with viable counterpoints or simply ignoring them then your *hit is weak. Not my problem.

This phone is far from the best Samsung can do, they even forgot what to name it.

What a joke... sorry to burst your bubble but it's less functional than the N20U. On top of all that the spen is on the wrong side; most people are right handed. Not good placement at all... an incredibly clueless ergonomics fail🤣

If you work for Samsung then suck it up brother/sister, because I know you can't handle constructive criticism. It's one of your corporate failings. I will slice and dice Samsung like sushi blowfish when they blunder a flagship phone this badly. As if the Fold disaster wasn't enough fail already...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Agree with you regarding Samsung's device hardware, software isn't as fortunate. Android 12 with OneUI 4.0 has been a never ending debacle.

Samsung finally resumes One UI 4 stable rollout for its devices

Samsung has resumed the Android 12 rollout for Galaxy devices with a new set of One UI 4 stable builds. Read on for more information.

www.xda-developers.com

You feel Samsung is the leader in mobile phones but in sales volume they're not. They've been steadily losing market share with their flagship devices. They sold around 28 million S20 units, the S21 has only sold around 20 million units. That's a steep decline no matter how you slice it. With minor improvements over it's predecessor and supply constraints don't be shocked if the S22 does even worse.

Don't get me wrong, Samsung makes good smartphones and I hope you really enjoy your S22 Ultra but the numbers should tell everyone Samsung is heading in the wrong direction. So in response they've eliminated the S Series Flagship and replaced it with the Note 22. Good luck with that!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
It always made more sense in the S series anyway, I mean it's called the "S" pen right? haha :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I think two issues motivated this cross series. They have shown indecision on bringing back the Note and they feel this would satisfy that problem. Secondly, in an attempt to reverse declining sales they've made a sharp turn on design and feel including the S-Pen would be a game changer. Not sure why they went forward, the S-Pen was never a high demand feature for most.

For myself and others in practical terms they've eliminated the S Series Flagship which outsold the Note by a wide margin when offered concurrently. In my view a very questionable decision.

i dont charge often, i only charge when battery is low.

that 15 minutes make a difference. having a dead phone at work / go out VS a working phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Dayuser:
S21 Ultra and S22 Ultra have same 108MP main sensor. Other camera sensors are new..

Edit. 10MP periscope and telephoto sensors are new but 12MP ultrawide is old
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joancolmenares:
No one holds the ultimate truth on this topic. I personally have not used SD card since the times of blackberry devices (yeah, I used those)... I'm a diehard iPhone fan and have not used any extra storage because there is just none available, so I don't miss it but that's just me and I understand and respect those who need to have one. I prefer cloud services as SD cards do break down.

I had the Note 20 Ultra (which introduced the SPEN on the left side) and the S21 Ultra and I liked the S21 ultra hardware but hated the design and flat screen, for me to see the S22 Ultra combine 2 devices I loved is the ultimate dream come true and of course I preordered it even though I have an iPhone 13 pro max which is considered one of the top phones.

It's ok to love our devices, but not worth getting into a pointless argument that end in blocking. You love SD cards and feel they are a dealbreaker? good for you! You love switching devices faster than underwear? Good for you as well!

If I go again to the root of this thread of the differences, there may be very few, but keep in mind that this S22 Ultra is more intended for those who love the Note design and features but want the multimedia features of the S series. If you don't feel like worth changing from S21U to S22U or N20U to S22U until further reviews it's prefectly fine, but don't go after those who want to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Turns out the charging time difference for 25W vs 45W from zero to fully charged is only 4 minutes. Not certain the 45W Charging can be considered an "upgrade"
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
One small change I have noticed is that when I got email notifications on s21 ultra i had the option to DELETE. Now I only see READ and REPLY. Is this an option I need to change?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mvjunkie:
Main reason I upgraded to the S22 over my S21U is Verizon gave me a free upgrade, just had to pay taxes and upgrade fee. Plus the S22U has additional 5g bands to help utilize those new bands in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mzsquared:
Well, the difference is in that 'note' thing and because of the s-pen it really feels like a Note reincarnated, I like it very much.

I spent several hours playing with it, looking for any faults, but I found 0.0 so far, nothing to get upset - all is good.

Downloaded about 20GB of my music over wi-fi, all in one shot, the phone got just slightly warm - cool cucumber actually, so it seems no worries about that new SoC, snapdragon running hot.

Great display, smooth, bright and has rather accurate color temperatures, I hope this whole thing is a hit, I'll still need more time to be 100% certain about few other things though, used a lot of time on manual setup, debloat etc.

(for reference: it's 512 Ultra, Snapdragon Burgundy - this color looks much better 'live')

Here's Geekbench 5 result:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Got mine today. Came from s21 ultra. It feels like the same device, pretty much. But it also feels like I'm using my old Note 20. Super familiar. This combination means it doesn't feel like a new phone, just a really mature product.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] cocaine_train:
coming from oneplus.i like the Note design I just cant get used to the oneui. Its my First Samsung since s6 i think. always used custom os back then. I have serious display Bugs, screen turning black/off for seconds and sometimes followed by stuttering and heavy lag. Animations are trippy :D [/B]

Ok so I was messing around trying to find data on the fuze. I went to the att web site and typed FUZE in the search box. Nothing

so then I decided to type HTC and got a few things, but nothing on the FUZE. So i typed it again on accident and got something:

but when you click on it, nothing. the text in the search is no where to be found...

maybe a start. anyone want to search around on the ATT site and see what this is?

Before to unplug it i check them and they was on the usb flash drive.. please They are very important pictures and videos to my family and some of them is passing…😭😭

Welcome to XDA🤗

Copy not cut...

Always backup critical data redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.

Is it possible you inadvertently pasted the data to another drive or folder?

Go to the Lexar site and download their image recovery app to scan the flashdrive for recoverable images.

Outlook not so good... sorry. You may get lucky though.

Thank you for you fast reply but it’s possible to be just gone? Even if u delete files they stay.. somewhere. I remember when i backup my pc without to have some backups almost everything was there
