[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Not irrelevant especially if you are using it.

The spen nesting is stupid and Samsung knows it. If you hold the phone with your right hand as Samsung erroneously claims most its users do, it's convenient. Otherwise not.

Omitting the expandable storage on all variants and only 8gb of ram on the "base" flagship model is chintzy, lame and pie in the buyer's face. Samsung wants hype users not power users. Samsung use to rag on Apple in ads about it's lack of expandable storage (and the 3.5mm jack), now they are the same. No guts or backbone and damn little effective innovation for 3 bloody years. The Folds are flops as well.

The N10+ is no N9 let alone an S6, the Beast exceeds it's newer counterparts in a number of ways. Android 9 has no cpu sucking scoped storage and trusted apps like Karma Firewall are fully functional. Also by using the same OS version for 2.5 years means zero learning and wasted time optimizing/finding workarounds and fixes for valued 3rd party apps. Security? Not an issue.

Wait until the full in depth review for the S22U's display come out. Don't be surprised when the N10+ scores a better color rendering index and white point.

I hope you're happy with your S22U. It's doubtful that in 2 years you'll still own it let alone 3.

Understand Samsung could have done much better... 3+ design cycle of blah from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
You do realize that the Note 10 and Note 20 base specs were 8GB of RAM... Right?

Also, Samsung moved the S Pen silo to the left side on the Note 20.

Not including expandable storage was kinda silly, but to be honest, I haven't missed it.

I had the Note 10+ 5G 512GB and rarely used the 512GB microSD card I had installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
As mentioned before, the value of the object is in the eyes of the beholder - or user in this case. It seems you clearly want a "Note" type phone which is fine, hence you rejected the s22 cause it is not a pure "Note" type phone. Also fine. Different folks-diferent strokes. Case closed - let's move on.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rockky:
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra continues to be an extraordinary device for me. My S21 was returned after 2 weeks. Stuck with my Note20.

The smooth UI (with Standard MS btw), display, camera performance, 5G speed, aesthetics in general and more are the best I've ever had on a smartphone. Only battery life is wanting
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, you see the title of the thread? While I have empathy for the new S22U owners you'll get no validation from me. I'm pi$$ed Samsung hasn't punched out a better Note or anything close to one in almost 3 years for me to buy! 🤣

Google Android with their scoped storage made an even bigger mess of things. Between the both them it will likely be 2 years until this evens out. With Samsung it's always a hit or miss proposition but this miss cycle is a long one. Because Samsung can't handle constructive criticism or suggestions or implement them into their design cycle in a timely manner means all kinds of aimless fails that just drag on like this sentence.

Samsung mimics Apple, Google mimics Apple...

are there any real Androids out there?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] rockky:
Send your obviously crippled version back and get one like mine 😇
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
The Galaxy S22 Ultra is a Galaxy Note in all but name.

The Galaxy Note is dead! Long live the Galaxy Note!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
He's a narcissist. The world revolves around him. You'll never win an argument with him.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
You stated your obvious disappointment with Samsung - loud and clear - with some very good points. However not everyone looks at it with the same prism, as everyone's expectations can and will be different. Whoever started this thread obviously expressed, that his expectations weren't met - fair enough. We are beating a dead horse here - get the phone, don't get the phone, keep the phone or get rid of it and get something else, everyone has a choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
It's an evolving topic now that the horse is out of the gate. Remember all those glorious reviews all the Folds always got? That didn't last long.

Ironicly the Samsung's user forum gives good insight how well a model is or isn't doing and issues users are having.

All I can say is you better get a good case like the Zizo Bolt to protect the display. Too many broken ones already.

You know S Korean Samsung reps really can't handle criticism? They go to pieces. You trying to parlay for them? Good luck on that.

Back to beating the dead horse...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Your argument that since your phone works fine so will everyone else's. Good for you but that's clearly not the case. A brief scroll through this forum and others will reflect numerous defects with a wide variety of users and yes, even with SD variants and numerous updates.

I have zero sympathy for users who purchased a Exynos device, the most problematic variant. Exynos devices were up until a few years back the hot ticket due to it's speed and unlocked bootloader but have lost their way. Anyone in any region could have acquired a SD Device, they're widely available.

Keep in mind ALL brands of smartphone's and iPhone's have issues but this level of complaints hasn't been seen on a Samsung flagship in a number of years. Likely since the Note 7 but even there the major concern was surrounding the battery, not much else beyond that.

That's not the case with the s22 Ultra. I've owned every Galaxy flag since the S6 with only the S20 Ultra being the exception and never had ANY PROBLEMS. I was a Samsung Junkie but honestly, if someone give me a brand new S22 Ultra for free I'd give it back.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] beserker15:
Isn't your stance basically his but in reverse? Since you've had issues with yours, then every S22U has issues? If someone gives you a new S22U for free, you'd just give it back? That's highly dramatic.

Also it's very well known now that the chips in this generation aren't that great. They have higher peak temps and higher peak energy usage than previous. This pretty much applies to most Android phones this go around using the Snap 8 Gen1. But that isn't to say that your odds of getting a problematic phone is higher than those of getting a good working one.

If anything, this is more like the generation that had the Snapdragon 810. The reason the S6 was launched globally without a Snapdragon then was because of that hot chip. Yet it still made its way into pretty much every other Android phone and many were still happy with their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
You're arguing with a troll who doesn't even own an S22.

Do you even own an S22 Ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
No, why would I? So I could add myself to a very long list of disappointed users who overpaid for a POS device? Any argument the one has to buy something to realize it's a TURD is delusional.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
Could you please share your battery life measurement of the S22u in a similar use case. If only one is shown I am not able to see if it is better or worse for you.

Regarding display/bezel ratio, have you directly compared them by yourself or are you just comparing written specs? From my perspective the display/glass ratio is identical, the angle of the glass on the sides is the same, but S22u is a bit thicker and therefore the maximum width of the frame is about 0,6 mm wider at its little maximum. If you do not understand what I want to say I can make a sketch. But because of being a radius thing, it is negligible for me.

But on the other hand you are right, features are missing in new devices. Does your N10 have a 3.5 mm headphone jack? Does it have an IR transmitter? Can the battery be changed by design? Does it have a FM-Radio? This all and more you might have missed that time and you arranged with it, because of other benefits.

Yes the S22u is thicker, this is e.g. to carry the bigger lens and having a smaller hump compared to the previous S2xu N2xu. And to carry that battery size and the s-pen.

Compared to the N10 the Antutu is about 70% higher. I can clearly see the better speed in my hands.

The GPS of my S22u is working indoors, the N10 one not, but on the other hand it looks like the GPS of the S22u interferes more when being close to my body.

The camera has a10x Zoom, the UW lens no longer a fixed focus, the main sensor has almost the double size and has more wide angle.

If you do not need the camera update and the faster SoC, why do you invest so much time in this part of the forum? I think it is not worth wasting time here and waiting for further UI updates to make the UX better for you.

I am just wondering about your strong and repeated commitment. Your technical inputs I appreciate very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
For 3 years I've been actively watching Samsung for new flagships to buy. A fair amount of time invested as you need to watch shifty Samsung like a Bronx used car salesman.

I'm not pleased with what I found and continue to find. The release of the N20U started a dry spell that's spanned multiple design cycles. Even at $800 a new N10+ is still a better deal... if that indicates my true displeasure with Samsung's flagship devolvement.

Free advertising Sammy🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Every device have a page full of people needing help and having defective phones. I was one of those with defective phones.

My Xperia Z1 had an issue of display failing to recognize touch when making contact for more than 1s. Fortunately that was the only case of real defective I had. Since I got to Samsung I had none.

Your rant of exynos buyers is completely nonsense. First, not everyone has access to sd. I was one. My S20+ and S21+ was exynos and I had no sd variant in my country. Importing was not an option, taxes in here are absurd, i would end up paying for 2 phones.

Nevertheless, i had 2 exynos and had ZERO problems with heating or lag. In benchmarks sd seems better, but this does not means that exynos is bad.

Another reason to get exynos: rooting. A lot of people will say that rooting ia useless now, but it isn't. Being able to fully customize your phone (install a good sound app) is part of being android user. Exynos were the only rootable

Now, i have my S22 Ultra, snapdragon and rooted, which is just...perfect. I have the best of both worlds.

The issue with this thread is that you guys do not provide any device specific, real problem. Lets list:

1- Battery life: if you go inside every flagship (not only Samsung) you'll see people ranting on battery life. Maaaaybe with exception of Apple, since I heard last iPhone battery life is ok. "Oh, but it's 5000 mAh it should last more than my Note 10". It does. It also consumes more battery.

At the end of the day, is your phone dying of battery BEFORE you can charge it? I charge everyday when going to sleep, and i never had a problem with battery in all my phones.

2- SD card slot/ Fm radio/3.5mm jack: I'm with you with those. I really don't get why a brand would REMOVE technology from the phone (maybe for space, but I heard FM is embedded in processor) , but ALL brands are doing this and for quite a while. No flagship has FM radio for years. So, while I agree with you that this sucks, I disagree that S22U sucks because of this. It's not a S22U related.

3- Display: Dude, S22U display is one of the best, if not the best out there. About fragility, well, I just dropped the phone yesterday from about 1,5m. The phone fliped in the air and landed on a hard floor. My heart stopped. It had 0 damage ln screen or body (it is with samsung protective case).

4- spen: I am right handed. I often hold my phone with my left. My left hand doesn't cover the bottom of the phone, so it makes no difference AT ALL what size is the pen. I trully don't get this, could someone explain?

I understand those are personal experiences. But if you want to really prove the phone is bad you need to get statistical data, of lots and lots of phones and compare. Otherwisd we will be stuck with a few personal experiences, and we can see easily that good experiences are way more than bad.

You don't even have a fkng bad experience, since you don't even OWN the phone. What the hell are you doing here, man?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
I use it a lot. I remove it without an issue from my left hand. I really don't get the issue here. You.. can't take the spen out when holding your phone with your left hand?

The expandable storage is only missed when I do resets and have to paste all my backups to internal. With SD card it just wasn't formated. Other than that i dont really miss it. I can't het the 256Gb full.

Yes yes, we all miss the sdcard/FMradio/3.5jack/etc. For a few years. Did you rant in every forum since 2015?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
You notice your post to like ratio?

That's after over 10 years here too.

Who's calling the kettle black?

My grievances are legitimate. Are your views?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
What that has to do with anything? I'm no developer and any reaction I get is due to me helping someone with my limited knowledge. Are likes a measurement of truth now? Come on, man, your arguments are getting worse and worse.

I don't want to make this a personal discussion. So, could you provide real evidence that the S22U is indeed a bad phone? Or at least argue against my points?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Se7enMonk3y5:
I definitely thought it was poor, had the 8gb ram 128gb mem, returned it today. Only problem was they wouldn't let me exchange it for a different device. Managed to get the 12gb ram 256gb mem. So much better, Chalk and cheese. Any one else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
SD or Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
No problem ffp. Do what I do (did), hit the ignore button. In part I use member post/like ratio count to decide. Cheers.

Great, improved heat sinking. The stainless vs copper phase vapor heat sink should provide better heat piping.

Unfortunately you can only passively dissipate a finite amount of thermal energy from a given area. Samsung is at or near that limit. The faster cpu chipset, 5G and variable refresh rate display increases the thermal burden. The more efficient ram memory is a step in the right direction but is completely offset by the formers. The frame itself dissipates some of the heat, however this was nearly optimized already in the N10+.

Both phones need good cases to protect them. In the end any heat dissipation improvements of the S22U are completely negated by it's hugh energy thirst most of which is converted to heat.

The larger S22U battery also directly contributes to the thermal burden; bigger Li's create more heat when charging and discharging due to internal resistance. It was enough of an issue that Samsung deliberately throttled the S22U to not only increased battery life but to presumably avoid a hit running phone. Higher operating temperatures mean shorter Li lifespans.

You can't have your cake and eat too, unless you exponentially improve the efficiency of the device rather glob on more power hungry components like the new cams, 5G and variable refresh rate display. Samsung failed to do this I believe. No doubt too busy sinking money and R&D into the Fold rabbit hole that goes really deep. Monies and new technologies that should have gone into their flagships like the S22U and then trickled down to other midrange and base models. Instead those resources were dumped into the Fold rabbit hole. Poor leadership and resource allocation. It's a systematic issue. Samsung keeps dropping their balls in a rabbit hole🤣

All working fine, good job.

Just for people want root, you must use the patching boot method (adb sideload don't work) & you must use Magisk Stable the first time for create the patched boot (Canary Manager version don't start, freeze Magisk mask logo).

After you can pass on Canary if you want :)
