The
Note that isn’t a Note, yet it may very well end up being the last Note
– Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra has some big shoes to fill. Attempting to
appeal to both productivity-focused stylus lovers and photography
enthusiasts, the latest Ultra will either be the ultimate phone, period,
or fall short for either group in some way. We’re here to find out
which one is it.The
S Pen fans will have little to complain about on the face of it. The
S22 Ultra has the same stylus as the Note20 Ultra and, like a true Note,
it has a silo for keeping the thing inside the phone – none of that
carry-it-separately-until-you-inevitably-lose-it nonsense with the S21
Ultra. The significant improvements in latency also sound promising, not
that the old one was bad.The
camera crowd shouldn’t be disappointed either. You’re getting the same
quad setup as the S21 Ultra (in principle, at least) and includes a
couple of telephotos reaching all the way to 10x zoom, as well as an
autofocusing ultrawide (that Samsung insists on keeping exclusive to the
Ultra). That’s in addition to the big-sensor nona-binning 108MP main
camera, of course.The
lengthy specsheet (summarized below) includes what appears to be the
brightest display on a smartphone to date, latest chipsets from Qualcomm
or Samsung (depending on locale, as usual), a 1TB storage option (next
to a 128GB base tier not befitting the UItra’s stature), and a bump in
battery capacity and rated charging power (we’ll see about that).
