- Oh boy, what's up guys?
I am so excited,
because the Samsung event just ended.
Well today, depending upon when you're watching this,
which means, my friends, we have new devices in hand.
I would say in studio,
but I'm actually in my sister's basement
because I'm on the East Coast right now.
I am so excited about this
because I obviously love testing out new phones
and today we have got the Samsung Galaxy S22+
and the brand new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I'm gonna put some links in the description.
If you guys want to get any of the phones,
that I'm talking about today, these are affiliate links.
So if you do use those,
just know that you are helping me out and my channel.
You might hear some stomping feet upstairs,
that is the sound of a two year old
just making her way around the house.
So the first thing that we're gonna unbox,
is the Samsung Galaxy S22+, there are two versions of this.
There's the S22+, which is the larger display
and the S22, which is a little bit smaller of a display.
So this one we're gonna open it first
because this is the gold pink color.
And when I saw this during the announcement
I was like, oh, beautiful!
So let's see what it looks like in person.
So here's the unboxing, it's very simple.
Now that nothing really comes in the boxes anymore.
It's like, basically like, here's the phone,
good luck have fun.
Oh, we do have SIM card ejector, just quite a treat.
Wow, this color is really, really pretty.
So like I said, there are two version of the S22,
the S22 and the S22+.
They both have an internal storage option
of 128 and 256 gigs,
both running Snapdragon 8 Gen 1,
both with eight gigs of RAM.
They each have three rear cameras,
a 50 megapixel wide, a 12 megapixel ultra wide,
a 10 megapixel telephoto with 3X optical zoom
and the front facing camera is 10 megapixels.
The smaller S22 has a 3,700 milliamp hour battery
with a 6.1 inch display.
Whereas the S22+ has a 4,500 milliamp hour battery
and a 6.6 inch display.
These come in the phantom black,
phantom white, green, pink gold
and there are some Samsung exclusive colors,
graphite, cream, sky blue and violet.
And I think this pink gold might be my favorite.
Are we surprised?
No, we're not.
Since we're doing an unboxing,
we might as well see what we've gotten here.
We've got USB-C to USB-C cable
and a lovely little piece of paper.
Where's my Ultra?
Where's the Ultra?
How is this an unboxing with no lid?
What have I done? Oh gosh.
Okay, well the lid has fallen off,
so no, it's not the lid,
this is the bottom of the box. (laughing)
So I don't know which color this one is.
We're gonna find out.
Oh, it's look, it's a fantom black, look at that.
Okay, we gotta take the sticker off.
Okay, we got a front sticker too.
Ready? Front sticker, front sticker, get into it.
So satisfying.
It's actually so strange going from the S21 Ultra
because the S21 had such a huge camera bump.
Whereas this, it's just like the lenses
are kinda popping up.
So there's no actual bump on the S22.
So you guys can see like, it's crazy
cause it's like, it's not there.
I think I like it.
I'm not really sure.
I'm kind of, I'm a little indifferent about it.
Did like the camera bump,
cause it really did sort of set it apart
and it kinda separated from the phone.
Maybe I do like this more.
I'm not sure.
I'll get back to you in the full review.
I do like that, it's all very seamless.
So it feels very, very clean.
So the S22 Ultra has a,
6.8 inch Edge QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display,
with a refresh rate between 1 and 120 Hertz.
It has four rear cameras.
There's an ultra wide, a wide, two telephoto lenses
and a front facing 40 megapixel camera.
It has a 5,000 milliamp battery life
and there's four colors that you can choose from.
There's fantom black, white, green and burgundy.
They do have some online, exclusive colors.
There's a graphite, a red
and the sky blue that one's actually, it's pretty nice.
One thing that I'm most excited
to test out on this is the Nightography.
So this is a new feature where of course it's using AI.
I feel like the AI buzzwords,
is this two words, artificial intelligence.
You know what I mean.
It has been tossed around so much
over the past couple of years.
Like what does that actually mean?
Well, in this case, in the presentation
they were showing how it takes a bunch
of photos and then it goes in
and determines which photos look the best.
If there's some blurry or shaky ones
those are then removed
and then all of those photos are kinda merged together
to make one solid still and crisp image.
That's gonna be something,
that is definitely high on the list to test off, test out.
Who is reading this? (giggling)
Which is how to power off your phone.
I can't do two things at once.
I don't, I just, it's impossible.
Another thing that I'm excited to test out is
in their portrait videography, portrait photo for video,
you can now kinda shift the focus
and that's gonna be kinda interesting
and I feel like that's kinda rivaling
the iPhone 13's Cinematic Mode.
Which I'm not gonna lie to you.
I don't think I've ever used
since I did my review of the iPhone.
Now that I'm thinking about it.
They've also improved the portrait mode.
They also showed this really cool demo of,
I know for a fact that if any of you
have ever used portrait mode.
If you're holding something
or it's like the example that they showed was,
this girl had a straw on her drink.
Then the straw goes out of focus
or whatever your holding kinda goes outta focus.
So with this, it's being able to detect,
what should actually be in focus.
Like, if you're holding something,
that is a part of the image,
that is a part of your body right now,
that should say in focus.
So I'm very excited to also test that out.
I feel like there's so many small little updates
that may seem kind of insignificant,
but in the grand scheme of things,
like these small little updates
to video and photo are actually a pretty big deal.
Another thing is the new S Pen.
So this new S Pen is supposed
to have 70% improved accuracy over the S21,
which is kind of exciting
because it really is so interesting,
like, trying to use these pens
and then having them not be as responsive as possible
and I think Samsung is actually done
a pretty good job with that.
So I'm added to the list.
Another thing that Justine is excited
to try out on the new devices.
So here they are both next to each other.
The S22 definitely has a much more rounded kind of look,
where the S22 Ultra kind of, it's a little more boxy.
With this new S22 Ultra
and of course the advancements in the S Pen.
This has a very Note-ish feel.
I mean, this basically feels like a note
but it's not a note, but it might as well be a note.
Like what is a note?
I don't even know anymore (laughing).
