So the Galaxy S22 Ultra is a superphone made from the best of both worlds,
the S and Note series. It has a lot of notable upgrades over its predecessor so
let's take a look at the top 10 features of the phone that make it the smartphone
to beat in 2022. A new Note
The S22 Ultra is an S series only in the name. It's basically a Note device with the signature
boxy design and a built-in S Pen which is a notable upgrade over the S21 Ultra; that phone had
to use an optional case to hold its Stylus. Brightest display ever with Vision booster
The display on the S22 Ultra is the brightest ever at 1750 nits up from 1500 on its predecessor.
But most importantly it has vision booster technology where the display automatically
adjusts the contrast and colors depending on the brightness levels. This will prevent the
washed-up content we get when we increase the brightness to max. Not only that the
LTPO display can also go all the way down to 1Hz which was limited to 10 on the S21 Ultra. Thus
saving crucial battery life. 5 years of software updates
That's right! The S22 Ultra will receive 4 new generations of Android OS upgrades
and security patches for 5 years. Since the phone is equipped with Android 12,
it will go up to Android 16 and receive its final patch in 2027 which is unheard of in
the Android world. Game-changing camera
Even though the S22 Ultra doesn't have major changes in camera hardware, there's a massive
improvement in quality both day and night. And that's because Samsung improved the pixel size
by 123% which means more detail and more accurate colors. Not only that the phone now takes two
images simultaneously. One with 108MP for details and one with 12MP for brightness and then it
combines both of them for a brighter detailed photo. They have also updated zoom sensors and
you can see a huge difference. Arun says it captures the most realistic portrait photos
ever thanks to improved AI. Samsung also says the night mode on this thing is unmatched and
judging from early impressions, they weren't messing around. They also worked with Snapchat
so that you can use all these features from the app itself. Samsung absolutely nailed the
camera game with the S22 Ultra. Huge upgrades in video recording
Not just photos there are huge improvements in the video as well. It takes far better portrait
videos aka cinematic videos than Apple's latest iPhones. The stabilization has been improved by a
massive 58%, it captures 12-bit raw video, Samsung has included a super clear lens on the camera
for clearer photos and videos, there are features like auto fps which automatically adjusts the fps
depending on the lighting conditions for brighter and detailed footage in dark, and auto framing
which adjusts the zoom levels depending on the people in the frame. Like I've said, Samsung just
raised the camera game to a whole new level. New cooling tech
You see the new processors are so powerful that they generate a lot of heat
so to counteract it Samsung included an updated cooling solution on the S22 Ultra.
It uses a new thermal paste that’s capable of transferring heat 3.5x more efficiently. The
vapor chamber used now covers a wider area which improves heat transfer and it also has a wide
graphite sheet that diffuses heat away from the vapor chamber. Sounds great on the paper but will
have to see how it does in real life. Supernatural writing experience
The S Pen on the S22 Ultra has a record latency at just 2.8ms. It's an upgrade from 9ms on the
S21 Ultra. Samsung is using AI to make it happen which predicts the path a user will draw for a
supernatural writing experience. Toughest Galaxy yet
The S22 Ultra is the toughest mainstream phone ever with Gorilla glass victus+ glass on both
front and back and a stronger aluminum frame. It doesn't mean the phone is unbreakable since
glass is glass and glass breaks. But it will handle the drops and scratches a little better
than others. Fast charging
It also comes with a true 45W charging support, unlike its predecessors.
But Samsung isn't providing this in the box, you need to get it separately.
All in all, with the latest 4nm fast processors, the S22 Ultra is
all to become the smartphone of the year 2022 even though we're still in February.
