... and here the haptics/vibration & speaker test...

So it seems that the S21 Ultra has a stronger vibration intensity but the motor placement is next right to the camera (upper body phone) where the S22 Ultra has a weaker vibration but the motor is place at the bottom of the phone so both have pros & cons.

The speaker setup situation is a clear win for the S21U somehow the sound feels more vibrant, full & bright. No dolby, no special effects was used on both phones - straight recorded PCM WAVE 48 KHz directly to my Olympus recorder.

It could be that the speaker setup/size had to be constraint because of the S Pen inclusion to make space for the same mAh battery - who knows, but this is what I have managed to capture.

Thoughts?

Guys, what are you findings vs the S21U (Exynos 2100) version? S21U is now mid of cycle (probably even before that) but it already very well optimized, and S22U ... had kind of a rocky start...

Did any of you get the 8GB version? I tested one in a store and it was pathetic, the 12GB seems to be better. Also anyone tested 12 GB + 8 GB Virtual RAM? Adding 8GB Vram on the 8GB RAM version had positive effect...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p40403:
According to Samsung's refresh rate working mode, the system refresh rate shows 10hz, and the actual hardware refresh rate is 1-10, because Samsung's system refresh rate is displayed like this software GMH, so you will not see 1hz directly displayed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] velqn:
Yes, that`s what they said officially "Samsung explains in its statement that while "the display component of both devices support between 48 to 120Hz," the company used the 10Hz number to signify its "proprietary technology" that feeds data to the display at the lower rate. We can infer that the pipeline can tell the display what to update at 10 times a second, but the display itself will still refresh at 48Hz. This was re the S22/S22+ - maybe same for the Ultra - the pipeline can tell the display to update once per second, i.e. 1Hz, but it will still refresh 24Hz (times)? Who knows... Still it`s interesting to see it compared vs S21U - S22U has some clear advantages."

Still 24Hz is not so bad + you can force drop to 10 Hz with the Galaxy Hz tool from XDA.

No big surprises here (luckily)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] velqn:
I tested the Auto FPS features on the back & front camera. Auto FPS is supposed to reduce the FPS while recording video for the sake of capturing more light, the phone is supposed to manage this.

So the findings recap is:

- I show 4K UHD 60 FPS on the back & front cameras

- Auto FPS OFF - 60 FPS steady - checked video meta data

- Auto FPS ON - Video captures more light - FPS is 24 steady - doesnt vary too much

- Same behavior observed on both cameras

More benchmarking tests including a ... freezer :)

Interesting (but somehow also expected findings):

- Phone scores it`s maximum GeekBench scores in the freezer running at 20-25 °C after left for 5 min in the freezer to accommodate

- Phone put outside in ambient temp 24 °C - again 5 min for rest & accommodation and several more GeekBench sessions

- First session`s result is very close to the result in the freezer - temp start raising 25-30 °C

- Second test results drop a bit but temp keep rising - 30-35 °C

- Third test is a bummer with single core score dropping significantly - temp raising 35-40 °C

- Forth test - phone manages to recover results - temp still > 40 °C

Phone is the Exynos 2200 version

So after more than 1 month of use... and all kind of tests (re the videos above) this is my review on the S22 Ultra (Exynos 2200) version.

Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] velqn:
Some interesting findings, 11 days ago Call of Duty Mobile (CODM) and Asphalt 9 were running on LOW fps, CODM was doing 60 FPS, but on LOW graphics and Asphalt was running on 30 fps.

Now CODM released an updated and you can almost max it out, i.e. MAX graphic with HIGHEST frame rate.

Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.

And here Asphalt 9 test video

Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.

Interesting... so in the first case the CODM game dev Activision probably did something but in the second scenario Asphalt 9 has not been updated since 15th of FEB.

So it could be that Samsung did something with the famous "march GOS" update + they issued 2 more updates for GOS and Game Booster Plus.

Let`s up our hopes for Xclipse 920 :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] notnoelchannel:
on Roblox, you should try these games to test:

Driving Empire

Thanks mate, really appreciated! 🙌
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Hudrator:
@velqn

Once again nice video. Regarding the micro stutter:

my current culprit is VRR regarding this topic. had the same "problems" with the last gen LTPOs with adaptive Resfreshrates. Also the videos of this years flagships show the same behaviour.

Do you have any chance to test if the screenresolution of genshin or any other game changes when turning gos on or off ?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] velqn:
I can! Hmf the VRR is a possible reason, you know what, let me test it fixed refresh rate, there is Galaxy mhz app.

I will report back:)

You are talking but gpuwatch?

Looking forward to this. Can't be much of help as the current updatet bricked GPUWatch for me. Values never dropping unter 70% CPU AND GPU - while idleing on the homescreen .... paired with sof reboots...

[Touch CDMA General] aldoscitech:
my phone is al alltel HTC touch and i had it flashed or "converted" to another company that also offers internet but every time i go and create a new network i fill in everything but it doesnt work... i went back to check and i always find that the password for the network is always a different number of characters than the one i put it.. The company gave me a 10-digit password and after i change it it afterwards appears as a 16- digit password.. i have tried many things.. i looked for settings and program files and dont know how to fix it.. wouldnt it be better if i could delete all the altell software from the phone? can i do that? its not alltel anymore anyway..

thank you!!
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
You don't make a whole lot of sense here, but that particular PW always shows longer than it really is, has nothing to do with your "conversion"
[Touch CDMA General] etiger13:
your new carrier should have an official ROM. Maybe you can try flashing to that. Remember to back up your info first.
[Touch CDMA General] aldoscitech:
they dont have one... is there a way for me to change the ROM myself? or change the settings on the phone?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] lazostat:
It's the first time since i bought Oneplus 8T that i haven't installed custom rom + root day1. I have the phone since summer. I want to know if it's worth to install a custom rom or not, and why?

Also, can you install most custom roms without rooting?

I guess i need a unrooted phone cause i use many banking apps.

Last question. I don't see many posts at this thread. It's cause people nowadays don't playing with custom roms as they used to be, Oneplus 8T maybe it's an old phone, or people talking about custom rom to other places like telegram?

I remember the Oneplus 5/5T topic was full of posts.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] ddaharu:
1. Depends on what you want. If you don't care about oos cam.

2. Yes there are Custom Roms that support banking apps.

3. You can also use magisk if you want root and also use banking apps.

4. Yeah most discussion ls are on telegram.

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] coloneyescolon:
Have been using my 8T with custom ROMs since pretty much day 1. I had the best experience with the official LineageOS 18.1 build. Works like a charm, doesn't come with any Google spyware and can of course be used without root. I recently switched to the new Android 12 crDroid, which looks pretty stable too. Again, no Google and nobody is forcing you to root there.

If you have unlocked bootloader flash the last official firmware with miflash not spflash, in my case I fixed BT and wifi except the IMEI and phone line.

yeah i used sp flash tool cause it lets me flash targeted bin/img... miflash is also great but wont let me target a single img... well right now am trying to fix the system not mounting in the unoficial twrp for x3 gt... ima try to root the phone and use xposed modules to fix imei, but idk why it wont let me mount some partitions on twrp like system... it gives error trying to install magisk
[Poco X3 GT (Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G)] Bonscia:
I've rooted the phone with no problem with magisk: install latest magisk manager first then flash correct magisk with fastboot command then restart and apply the the patch with the manager. Twrp B works too to me. I'm just not sure xposed module will works with Android 10, I'll try.

if u have lastest magisk modules it wont wotk at all of iv read... its like moving to a new system stuff... Zygisk... now there are 2 xposed riru and zygisk, one cant work wkth the other active... maybe for some modules to work u might need to install an older version of magisk

[Poco X3 GT (Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G)] Bonscia:
Hi, the last picture you posted is the engineering firmare, I've tried that too but still no baseband, I think wen I formatted the phone with spflash he deleted the partition with the baseband and IMEI data and putting a fresh new firmware can't solve the problem. Even Chinese special software I've bought he can't fix it, it says "nothing to write" when I try to put my IMEI in.

There are two types of factory firmware, one is to clear the nv-gcerase firmware and the other is not to clear the nv-keep firmware.

Now I've updated to the latest firmware

V13.0.4.0.SKPCNXM But still no baseband.

I've tried all the original firmwares with no success.

If you have this kind of firmware with baseband I'll try immediately if you can post it, and then I'll try to put back my IMEI with miracle thunder.
