@@MAR786786 Thanks! Prices seem to have come way down since I bought it a few years back. It's quite slow, but it gets the job done: www.amazon.com/SanDisk-128GB-Ultra-Drive-Type-C/dp/B01EZ0X55C
6:46 That shot with the incremental zoom out to show just how far the shot was taken from was pretty jaw dropping! I respect that you also briefly acknowledged the potential "creep" concern with such optical power as well. Though I'll still be sticking with my Note 9 for just a little bit longer, brilliant review as always!
Still have my note 9 as well. But I think it is time to bite the bullet as I have replaced and cracked my screen. Replaced the wobbling charging port and it started to woble again. Also, the battery upgrade would be nice cause I drive with maps a lot and forget to charge it. But it will suck cause my truck does not have Bluetooth :( but maybe ill just replace the screen again and keep the legend alive for another year!)
It really blew my mind. We've all seen some zoom shots in the reviews but this was the first time I actually rewatched it multiple times because I couldn't believe it. Not only that, but it actually seems like a real world usecase I could see myself use one day
First time I've watched a MrMobile review the day of release *with* the phone he's reviewing. Thanks to you multiple of my family members use Z Fold3s, and now I'm sure I got it right getting the S22 Ultra, haha.
I havent had a super flagship in a long time, usually i've been getting mid range or slightly under flagship, but ive had my eye on the s22 ultra. That statue of liberty picture absolutely blew my mind. WOW
I always enjoy getting your take on things and look forward to your thoughts on DeX. I have Z Fold 3 and not looking back any time soon. It just does everything I need it to and doesn't feel cramped like a normal phone. The S22U, on the other hand, looks like the next upgrade for possibly my wife as she is a HUGE shutter bug for kids, animals, etc. so that might be right up her alley. That or the S21U.
Guess you didn't watch the review carefully, this camera isn't suited for fast moving subjects-(kids, animals, the like)-you just mentioned. The Xperias are much better in that regard. The higher megapickel count along with the large sensor do have their drawbacks too (including readout speed/shutter lag, shallow depth of focus which can be a problem in certain situations), but all that aside it's a great camera system, just make sure she can handle such a huge brick (I personally can't)!
@@sushimshah2896 did you seriously just recommend a sony phone for photography? Hell no 🤣 sony can't even do hdr properly. And samsungs only really struggle with moving subjects in lower light. A pixel would be a way better option than a sony ever could be
@@propersod2390 If only the Pixel 6 Pro were available in more countries, there's currently only around 10 countries that have the Pixel 6/Pros and even then, some of these regions only carry the 128GB Variant. Importing the phone is not really an option as there will be RMA issues and stuff. But gotta agree, the Sony Xperia's ain't that great after viewing sample videos on youtube. The S22 series will still be the current widely adopted phones globally because of availability issues of the other devices.
@@propersod2390 I don't know why you find it surprising, Sony has been improving, sure it may not be on par in terms of the Auto output, but it isn't a mainstream device for insta-lovers anyway. And I never said that the Xperias have better cameras than the Note, ahem S22U in every situation, I responded for a very specific use-case of the original commenter. And no amount of crazy HDR will save your photo if the subject is out of focus (clearly the animals weren't shot in low-light, so it shouldn't have been blurry according to you, yet they were)! And when it comes to the Pixel (6/Pro specifically), I certainly wouldn't recommend those bug-ridden & generally worse QC phones to anyone I know, not to mention that they are just as limited as the Xperias in terms of availability.
@@propersod2390 For just taking photos and for fast moving subjects they are good. And they are the only ones taking photography seriously enough to still include a two-stage camera button, unlike all the other clowns.
"He went to fricken California without me, that jerk.!" 🤣🤣🤣 I would have reacted the same way. But anyways, it seems like everyone is getting somewhat of a different experience when it comes to the cameras across the board. Samsung definitely needs to optimize the experience like soon, now that the general public is starting to get their S22 devices.
Very detailed review and excellent production and content quality as always. I have a Samsung s21 Ultra that I'm going to stick with: Although I'd LOVE to have the build in S-pen storage, I just can't justify the cost at this time. Also, thanks for the comparison of the camera to the S21 Ultra, very well done! A+++!
i currenlty have the fold 3, really wanted one, the fold 3 is amazing, but I miss the cameras of other phones, I don't use the large screen enough, so been waiting for this review, I hate to say it but I'm going to swap to the s22 ultra, fits my needs better, just needed to make sure no major downfalls
Easily becoming one of my favorites if not the favorite smartphone reviewer. Also the "when phones were fun" reviews are great and unique. Thanks Mr mobile, for your great content!
You're simply the best! I love your practical approach to your reviews considering even the most subtle details. It's rather unfortunate that I cannot even afford a $300-dollar phone but all the same, it's amazing watching your reviews on high earned phones.
This sort of review comes only from the Mr. Mobile. Informative, fun, excellent narrative and amazing editing. One of my favorite Tech channels for a reason.
i love that you can bet Fisher will mention a foldable in every single review of a new phone, my man out there trying to ignite the folding phone market alone if need be.
I know it's an Ultra phone with Ultra specs. Love the specs, but wished it was smaller...! 6.8' is massive... and wayyy to large for me to pocket... Loving your reviews Mobileman!
as a big fan of sony omnibalance and tube design the s22 ultra was finally a phone worthy to upgrade from my sony xperia xz1 i adore the design and build quality the screen is finally the kind of bright i want i get 6 hours of onscreen time max none adaptive brightness and i feel this is ok, my mate 10 pro still does 9 hours max brightness which is my benchmark but 6 hours is at the limit of acceptable and i guess it's what i have to accept for max brightness i would also honestly say a sd card slot is nice to have but it's sortof redundant today with as much as 500 or 1 tb of storage, sd cards also does not play well with android, so it's nice but i don't miss it a lot i never used it but it was nice to just have it same with a headphonejack which i also never used some complaints i have ce markings on the back and youtubers receiving specialized s22 ultras with no markings it's so unfair, i spoke to samsung and they told me these specialized review units are what samsung envisioned for the design before regulations of ce markings, allthought sony hid all these markings inside on paper on older xperia devices why couldn't samsung do that? oddly enough sony stopped doing that too, and i hate it. camera performance is terrible just terrible lag overall in the ui not sure if it's exynos or the fact that i received mine 2 weeks ago before the day 1 patch but the phone does not feel smooth speaker not frontfacing i miss that from my sony the s22 ultra is the phone sony should have made not samsung i think foldables are the better way to go at that price but i am so obsessed with design and i can't stand the design of foldables right now weirdly almost closed, asymetrical for no reason at all as those curves can be removed but i guess people are obsessed about curves, if the fold 4 has a squared off design like the s22 ultra i'd buy that instead
Am impressed by this phone honestly, can’t wait to have access to it (Samsung only sending spares to every shops event for the biggest carrier in France) I was hesitating with a fold3 but the cameras make it a winner to me.
For all those who don't know : You can now put 3rd party icon packs on to samsung one UI launcher using goodlock. You are no longer restricted to those awful samaung themes.
Great Review. Personally, I think turning down artificial sharpness has actually made the image looked better in S22 ultra. I felt S21 ultra sharpness was a bit overdone. In fact, all new phones go overkill when it comes to sharpness. The natural sharpness you get from optics is just better.
Very precise! Maybe is a One UI 4 thing, as my Samsung S20 FE after the update seemed less sharp but then I feel they look less "overprocessed" smartphone way and more natural as in a bigger camera way.
Two weeks with the s22 ultra and Im back on the z fold 3. For me I got the same battery life with both, the speakers on the s22 are too quite and not as full as the fold and I hated the in screen fingerprint scanner. The most obviously is the screen real-estate. You get used to using 3 apps on the large display. One other i noticed was that apps opened slower on s22 ultra for some reason.
Best review so far. MKB review was so light on real world usage. Thanks. Though I'll be returning my S22U as isy the Exynos model and battery life amongst other thibgs6are just not good enough. I'm really hoping the a Pixel 7 pro deliverers. Until then I'll fall back to my Pixel 3 which still has a fantastic camera.
Looking forward to your dex video. I have a Note 20 ultra and love dex. Like you say it's not going to replace my computer but it's one of those added options that comes in handy. Hope Samsung sticks with it.
It is hard to believe when I say that no microSad card slot is a good thing...realized after loosing phone with full 512 gb personal data on it's mixroSad card.
8/128 as base storage is disappointing for the alleged best non-foldable phone Samsung can make. 2019's Note10+ did 12/256 as base PLUS the expandable storage. The phone is gorgeous but Samsung looks like they are unwilling to make a proper phone with everything they can put on
You mention that the s22 photo processing yields softer results than with the S21, but the s22 actually fares better in detail retaining. S21 feels sharper because it's artificial sharpening, that never looks good.
Longtime Note user and was excited for an upgrade to this one...5 weeks later the screen cracked on the edge in my back pocket. I haven't used a screen protector in several years. So much for gorilla glass victus! DEX is working like a champ. But it is very concerning that Samsung has now partnered with ubreakifix...how many screens are cracking? Not good! Especially for how much these phones cost...
I got mine Monday.. I got 256 GB white.. I love my phone & one of my favorite things to do with my s pen.. Is to use it as a magnify & take pics/videos with.. It works great with Google messages included
I wish reviewers would stop considering multiple storage sizes a somewhat equivalent alternative to external storage. They're not always made available in all markets, are less likely to survive disaster, cost more, and most of all you have to settle on a given size at purchase time and unable to expand it if you ever need to. It's basically a completely different beast.
Really appreciated this review. You had me won over until the comment at the end about the Pixel 6 Pro and the Fold 3. I know it wad a quick comment, but thank you for putting things into perspective.
Man I haven't played Ingress in years. I was the first player around here and built up my whole town, then a bunch of guys who were real jerks started playing for the other team and completely dominated everything. Things got very heated and personal when I just decided I was done and quit playing.
Hope y'all know for the Themes, Most of the Devs outside the Galaxy store has made Custom themes how we have seen in Substratum. Galaxy Store aren't the only option.
I rarely use my S Pen but I have had to sign a few contracts & boy is it convenient! In Sept. 2023, I can get up at 5:30a, pair to my Watch 5 Pro Titanium, hook up the boat, go fishing all day, take a few pics & videos. Then get home around 6 or 7p & relax. It goes back on wireless charging at 9-10p & it's never below 50% besides 1 time it was at 45% battery life in late Sept 2023 because I was watching movies while fishing on a slow day. Never had an issue out in 100°F while fishing here in SE Texas..It's a Powerhouse! I also just looked up resale on Amazon & seen $800-$1000 for the S22 Ultra, so Samsung is retaining its value 🤟
The only thing I did not like about the S22 Ultra is the weight. It is near 50 grams heavier then my Note 10+ with a case. I love running , staying mobile, with my phone but ... I just wish that the light weight S22 had the Spen support ! Samsung just missed the opportunity to sell lots of Spen(s) and special Spen cases .
On the other hand, I have often consider Galaxy photos to be over sharpen / contrast/ saturated. From your samples, I actually appreciate the dialed down processing.
Is it just me or is the video coming out of the main camera surprisingly blurry? I noticed even the 3x lens looks much sharper in comparison like at 8:13
For drawing a straight line, you don't need a ruler. In Samsung Note, you can draw a line and pause for a split second at the ending point, it will turn it into a straight line. You can draw a circle, rectangle, star, triangle etc with the same method.
Currently using iPhone 7 and galaxy note 9. This year gonna upgrade between the s22 ultra or the upcoming iPhone 14 pro max, s22 ultra is already damn good but ill wait for a few months to decide.
Sweet Jesus!!!! The zooming experience is amazing on this phone! I think that's the first fair review I've watched so far... Some reviewer on here tend to subtly boycott the Samsung Galaxy and favor the iphone, but you really just focus yourself on weighing the pros and the cons. Thanks man
Got mine from AT&T for $400 by trading in my Pixel 3, and with a free upgrade to the 256 GB version. At that price, I don't see why not to get one, and feel it's surperior to either the Pixel 6 and 6+.
This dude.. I've lived in NYC for 12 days I couldnt wait to go back when I can afford it again lol. Nice review! I'm getting dry here in California I need to experience NYC living again😅
Today I'm getting my S22 Ultra SDG1 variant (first time in Cambodia) 512GB with free tablet A7 Lite + cover + S22 silicone case + case strap + 1 year phone credit for $153. All for $1399. I really do miss S-Pen.
I got the 512gb version also, although it is an Exynos version... but I love it, have had it exactly 2 weeks now... you got an awesome deal.. I got only the phone for 1450 euros..
@@taavikopli good for you, man. This is the first time Cambodia get the same price as in the USA with freebies included. That's why I'm sold hahaha. I honestly almost buy iPhone but the Samsung deal is too good to be rejected. How long is your screen on time per charge?
Yo that statue of liberty shot was ridiculous! Great review. It seems if you have an S21 Ultra, you can do fine without the S22 Ultra...unless you'd like a home for the S Pen
Also alot of people do know know, if someone breaks your phone the SD Card is the only way to recover you data and photos stored on it :) SD Card slot and 3.5mm is needed. No Bluetooth can complete with real audiophile headset.
If price point were a worry, most people would spring for the note 20 ultra or the s21 ultra after a price drop bcz of four years of Samsung's software updates and the fact that pretty much everything is the same between the phones.
This is so great video that I had to watch it twice! All those awesome details! I’m not saying what I mean so everyone can find them all by themselves.
Wait Michael, so you were playing Ingress, on twitch live streaming and had the camera app opened all at the same time with the new Ultra? I think you said doing all that drained battery 7% and or killed battery life 43% in a hour using all those apps at the same time. Did you have the version with 16GB of Ram and 512 of storage?
Why do you need a remote to take a selfie when we have the Google assistant voice command to do the same thing? I just rely on voice for most of the commands I use with my phone
Subscribed I like unbiased reviews all other TH-camrs make everything samsung does a gimmick or write it off. "The note is just a s series with a stylus" glad to here someone who knows what he's talking about. Every notw user know the spen is not a stylus. Also the zoom it fun use it all the time. Glad u talk about ways to use the zoom vs it not usable
I think i'll hold onto my note 20 ultra for a little while longer, but kudos for covering the s pen and dex feature set! its a shame people tend to gloss over them, and IMO, they really do elevate the Samsung experience
People would still be using wired headphones, if they were given the option. And especially kids shouldn't be handed tiny battery-powered plugs. 15 bucks worth of headphones used to go a long way. Removing the headphone-jack artificially drives up the cost of basic users.

ce markings on the back and youtubers receiving specialized s22 ultras with no markings it's so unfair, i spoke to samsung and they told me these specialized review units are what samsung envisioned for the design before regulations of ce markings, allthought sony hid all these markings inside on paper on older xperia devices why couldn't samsung do that? oddly enough sony stopped doing that too, and i hate it.
camera performance is terrible just terrible
lag overall in the ui not sure if it's exynos or the fact that i received mine 2 weeks ago before the day 1 patch but the phone does not feel smooth

Wow the cameras on this thing are amazing. That first video in the harbor had so much going on and that video picked up every detail.
8:55 thats like 4.95 km (3.08miles) away.. holy cow
Really appreciated this review. You had me won over until the comment at the end about the Pixel 6 Pro and the Fold 3. I know it wad a quick comment, but thank you for putting things into perspective.
I always look forward to your reviews Michael. Keep up the great work!
All colors for the 1TB version sold out here in Australia 🇦🇺, expect for the black and green ones 😭
Man I haven't played Ingress in years. I was the first player around here and built up my whole town, then a bunch of guys who were real jerks started playing for the other team and completely dominated everything. Things got very heated and personal when I just decided I was done and quit playing.
Hey Fisher! Great review 👍. Z Fold 3 in Amazon for $1,500....? It must be a refurbished phone?
I love the shot of Meze 99 Classic on your table.
Hope y'all know for the Themes, Most of the Devs outside the Galaxy store has made Custom themes how we have seen in Substratum. Galaxy Store aren't the only option.
I rarely use my S Pen but I have had to sign a few contracts & boy is it convenient!
In Sept. 2023, I can get up at 5:30a, pair to my Watch 5 Pro Titanium, hook up the boat, go fishing all day, take a few pics & videos. Then get home around 6 or 7p & relax. It goes back on wireless charging at 9-10p & it's never below 50% besides 1 time it was at 45% battery life in late Sept 2023 because I was watching movies while fishing on a slow day. Never had an issue out in 100°F while fishing here in SE Texas..It's a Powerhouse!
I also just looked up resale on Amazon & seen $800-$1000 for the S22 Ultra, so Samsung is retaining its value 🤟
$600 in my country for a 512gb but Xiaomi 13T pro is already at $550
I'll wait for a bit whether s22U gets to $400 like the s21u today in a few months
The only thing I did not like about the S22 Ultra is the weight. It is near 50 grams heavier then my Note 10+ with a case.
I love running , staying mobile, with my phone but ... I just wish that the light weight S22 had the Spen support !
Samsung just missed the opportunity to sell lots of Spen(s) and special Spen cases .
12:35 Don't be afraid to use the qhd+ resolution. It's sharper and doesn't use more battery than fhd.
Also "intentionally ironic bit of neo-retro self expression" is great
Haha - thanks bud! Bonfire beers once I'm back.
On the other hand, I have often consider Galaxy photos to be over sharpen / contrast/ saturated. From your samples, I actually appreciate the dialed down processing.
Is it just me or is the video coming out of the main camera surprisingly blurry? I noticed even the 3x lens looks much sharper in comparison like at 8:13
For drawing a straight line, you don't need a ruler.
In Samsung Note, you can draw a line and pause for a split second at the ending point, it will turn it into a straight line. You can draw a circle, rectangle, star, triangle etc with the same method.
Currently using iPhone 7 and galaxy note 9. This year gonna upgrade between the s22 ultra or the upcoming iPhone 14 pro max, s22 ultra is already damn good but ill wait for a few months to decide.
Sweet Jesus!!!! The zooming experience is amazing on this phone!
I think that's the first fair review I've watched so far... Some reviewer on here tend to subtly boycott the Samsung Galaxy and favor the iphone, but you really just focus yourself on weighing the pros and the cons. Thanks man
Got mine from AT&T for $400 by trading in my Pixel 3, and with a free upgrade to the 256 GB version.
At that price, I don't see why not to get one, and feel it's surperior to either the Pixel 6 and 6+.
Trade-ins are the real cheat codes in 2022. Congrats on the upgrade!
6:46 those shots made my jaw drop! Beautiful as well as super impressive.
I read the thumbnail different in the first glance 🤦♂️
I see what uve done there in the Thumbnail 😂😁
07:15 Its interesting how the 3rd picture (or 4x, thought it was 3x?) is the only picture thats shows neon sign as red
As always, industry leading review from one and only, Mr Mobile.
That zoom is insane!
Finally!!! Thanks Michael.
Would you be doing S8 Ultra as well? The interest is huge
This dude.. I've lived in NYC for 12 days I couldnt wait to go back when I can afford it again lol. Nice review! I'm getting dry here in California I need to experience NYC living again😅
If you draw a line in samsung notes and hold the tip of the S pen on the screen it will make a straight line
At first, I didn’t register the space between ‘pen’ and ‘is’ and was confused
Shout out to Floss and the 100x "scumbag zoom "
Today I'm getting my S22 Ultra SDG1 variant (first time in Cambodia) 512GB with free tablet A7 Lite + cover + S22 silicone case + case strap + 1 year phone credit for $153. All for $1399. I really do miss S-Pen.
I got the 512gb version also, although it is an Exynos version... but I love it, have had it exactly 2 weeks now... you got an awesome deal.. I got only the phone for 1450 euros..
@@taavikopli good for you, man. This is the first time Cambodia get the same price as in the USA with freebies included. That's why I'm sold hahaha. I honestly almost buy iPhone but the Samsung deal is too good to be rejected. How long is your screen on time per charge?
Yo that statue of liberty shot was ridiculous! Great review. It seems if you have an S21 Ultra, you can do fine without the S22 Ultra...unless you'd like a home for the S Pen
Mr Mobile’s reviews are like watching a brilliantly made high quality tech documentary.
Also alot of people do know know, if someone breaks your phone the SD Card is the only way to recover you data
and photos stored on it :) SD Card slot and 3.5mm is needed. No Bluetooth can complete with real audiophile
headset.
I noticed the Mezes at 1:40. Great taste.
A powerful consummate review. Thank you Mr. Mobile
If price point were a worry, most people would spring for the note 20 ultra or the s21 ultra after a price drop bcz of four years of Samsung's software updates and the fact that pretty much everything is the same between the phones.
I miss the productivity on galaxy notes ...I need to hop back on...great video great review
Love the folder names. I'm going to steal dopamine lol.
Mr Mobile.....always brings great reviews and comedy perfect mix
Great video as usual. Are you going to make a galaxy s22 or s22 plus video?
I wish Samsung will figure out how to make better lasting batteries.
Been waiting for the review
My favorite reviewer at it again 🤙🏼 thank you!
Cannot help but read the thumbnail in the SNL Sean Connery voice. I see what you were doing.
3:20 I genuinely thought it was an avatar of yours, Michael.
This is so great video that I had to watch it twice! All those awesome details! I’m not saying what I mean so everyone can find them all by themselves.
Anything with Jerry Hildenbrand is pure gold.
I had the Note 10 and I did not get used to the S-Pen, I felt whenever I used it, It got in the way of easy tasks!
Wait Michael, so you were playing Ingress, on twitch live streaming and had the camera app opened all at the same time with the new Ultra? I think you said doing all that drained battery 7% and or killed battery life 43% in a hour using all those apps at the same time. Did you have the version with 16GB of Ram and 512 of storage?
I love ur voice and I love how u direct your videos
Why do you need a remote to take a selfie when we have the Google assistant voice command to do the same thing? I just rely on voice for most of the commands I use with my phone
The boxes piled up on David's desk 😂
Perfect background tunes.
Been a note user since the note 8. No other phone can pull me away until the z fold 3 came along.
Subscribed I like unbiased reviews all other TH-camrs make everything samsung does a gimmick or write it off. "The note is just a s series with a stylus" glad to here someone who knows what he's talking about. Every notw user know the spen is not a stylus. Also the zoom it fun use it all the time. Glad u talk about ways to use the zoom vs it not usable
I hope that the softening thing gets better
I think i'll hold onto my note 20 ultra for a little while longer, but kudos for covering the s pen and dex feature set!
its a shame people tend to gloss over them, and IMO, they really do elevate the Samsung experience
Come from a 11 Pro max. Love the phone, I am missing imessage and facetime already though!
People would still be using wired headphones, if they were given the option. And especially kids shouldn't be handed tiny battery-powered plugs. 15 bucks worth of headphones used to go a long way. Removing the headphone-jack artificially drives up the cost of basic users.
Every year a new king born from studio of Samsung. Always Samsung Galaxy.
