I used to feel quite a pity when it was said that the Samsung Galaxy Note series is no more. However, when the Samsung Galaxy S series all added the S Pen, it seems that the pity of the day has gradually been diluted. Some people ask, I am curious how many people actually use the S Pen, and I will say: I do, I really do. Sometimes used for Jots Notes, drawing, S Pen is an indispensable thing. I finally got my hands on the latest Galaxy S22 Ultra recently. Did it bring any surprises? The following moderators will do an out-of-the-box evaluation with you. Netizens who are interested in getting the Galaxy S22 Ultra may wish to take a look.

First of all, in terms of appearance, the design language of Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is consistent with the previous Galaxy Note20 Ultra. They all use a relatively square design. The S Pen is also placed on the left side of the bottom, and the screen is changed to the same 19.3 as the Galaxy Note20 Ultra. :9 ratio, but the screen size of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is only 6.8 inches, which is slightly smaller than the 6.9 inches of the Galaxy Note20 Ultra, so the body parts will be relatively short, but not obvious, it is difficult to distinguish the two mobile phones from the front.
But reverse the back, and the lens design is the most obvious resolution of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and Galaxy Note20 Ultra. On that day, the Galaxy Note20 Ultra was a whole rectangle with three lenses. At first glance, it looked like a “three-tube” for playing a sparrow, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra did not have that rectangle and had four lenses. I don’t know which design do you like more?
The Galaxy S22 Ultra will come in four colors: dark wine red, forest green, fog black and fog white, and the moderator borrowed this time, the fog black version, although black feels ordinary, but black has black The advantages of low-key and more “mature and stable”, it is more suitable for business people. In addition, the matte texture is maintained, and it is not easy to get fingerprints. With the rounded frame, it feels quite comfortable to hold.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra streaming YouTube video to test battery life
The battery capacity of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is 5000mAh. With a 4nm processor, the lower the nm number, the better the power saving ability. In theory, the battery life of the Galaxy S22 Ultra should be good. And we will play YouTube 1080p for 30 minutes, connect to WiFi and set the brightness and volume to 50% to see how much the battery drops, and then estimate how long 1080p YouTube videos can be played if fully charged. After half an hour of continuous playback, the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s battery was reduced from 100% to 96%, which is regarding 200mAh battery. When fully charged, the Galaxy S22 Ultra can play regarding 25 hours of 1080p YouTube videos. This result Pretty good!

Lighting and content. In addition to the extremely far 100x zoom shooting, through the AI artificial intelligence camera algorithm, you can take good photos in any light.
In addition, the Galaxy S22 Ultra uses an advanced Super Clear Glass lens (Super Clear Glass) when shooting night movies.

When shooting a video at the same time, the phone will automatically adjust the frame rate, so that users can make the image more vivid and bright even when the video is shot at night. The professional-grade camera of the Galaxy S22 Ultra can reduce vibration by 58%, with improved OIS angle correction and higher-speed motion sampling, which greatly stabilizes the user’s shooting, providing stable and smooth clarity when shooting, so that the video can be more stable.

| 10MP telephoto lens with Dual Pixel supports 3x optical zoom (F2.4) |
Compared with the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max, how far is the image quality of the two? Let’s compare:
Standard shooting (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to enlarge the original image)
Galaxy S22 Ultra
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Zoom in and compare the two▲ Since the scene environment is quite dim, both automatically turn on the night mode, and we can see that the images taken by the iPhone 13 Pro Max will have more vivid colors, and the leaves can feel green (although it is a bit fake. ); while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra appears more natural, but with lighter colors. And if you zoom in and compare the two, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has less detail than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, making it blurry.
Ultra wide-angle shooting (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to enlarge the original image)
Galaxy S22 Ultra
iPhone 13 Pro Max▲ When shooting at an ultra-wide angle, you will see that the Galaxy S22 Ultra can still maintain a bright photo, and the trees behind are still clearly visible, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max has a higher contrast, and the trees behind become pitch black.
3x zoom shooting (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to enlarge the original image)
Galaxy S22 Ultra
iPhone 13 Pro Max
Zoom in and compare the two▲ The imaging tones of the two cameras are obviously different. The iPhone 13 Pro Max is biased towards blues, while the Galaxy S22 Ultra is closer to nature. At the same time, everyone is at 3x zoom, but the Galaxy S22 Ultra shoots from a wider angle. In addition, although both support 3x optical zoom, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is more detailed and can preserve more details.
10x zoom shooting (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to enlarge the original image)
Galaxy S22 Ultra
iPhone 13 Pro Max▲ Next is the 10x zoom, which is basically incomparable, because the Galaxy S22 Ultra also supports 10x optical zoom, while the iPhone 13 Pro Max goes to 10x, but the digital zoom is forced to zoom in, and the gap is quite obvious.
30x and 100x zoom shots (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to zoom in on the original image)
30x zoom
100x zoom▲ Because it has exceeded the limit of the iPhone 13 Pro Max, it will no longer compete now. The Galaxy S22 Ultra supports up to 100x zoom. Even when the phone is in hand and the flowers are moving in the wind, it can still capture the shape of flowers from a long distance. It is still quite strong, but in fact, 100x is rarely used.
Standard shooting VS 108MP ultra-high resolution shooting (press the magnifying glass in the upper right corner to enlarge the original image)
standard shot
108MP ultra-high resolution shooting
Zoom in and compare the two▲ The standard photo size is 6.6MB, while the 108MP ultra-high-resolution photo size is 15MB. In theory, the latter should be able to retain more details. However, I don’t think there’s really much difference in quality, unless you put it too big, you’ll see the gap, and the pixel will obviously be off-line, but even if the pixel is very high, although there is no off-line, the image is all There will be blur.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra supports upgraded S Pen
Although last year’s Galaxy S21 Ultra all supported S Pen, it was necessary to buy an S Pen protective case at that time; this time Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the first Galaxy S series flagship with built-in S Pen, and this time The S Pen is an “upgraded version”. Compared with the S Pen used in the previous Galaxy Note20 Ultra, the delay is much lower. The gap between 9ms and 2.8ms makes the feeling of use closer and closer to the smooth experience of real writing. The main functions that the S Pen can do include:
1. Smart Selection: Ability to quickly cut images, text, and more from the app
2. Translate: Hover the S Pen over a word to translate
3. S Pen handwriting recognition: use the S Pen to write and then automatically recognize it into text
4. Suspension operation: You can use the S Pen to operate the phone in the air, such as taking pictures in the air, zooming in and out through specified actions, etc.

summary
To be honest, at the time of writing this article, this Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra was only in my hands for a day. I basically tried it out. I am very satisfied in all aspects, especially the camera part. In fact, it has improved a lot. Part of it can be said to be able to outperform the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The battery life is expected to be able to continuously play 1080p YouTube videos for 25 hours. This is praiseworthy, but it remains to be seen whether the actual daily use and whether the battery life can really meet the needs of a day.
The most worthwhile place to start is the built-in S Pen integrated with the Galaxy Note series, which does not need to be purchased separately, and has the characteristics of low latency. Compared with the previous Galaxy Note20 Ultra, it is more like a real writing experience, which also makes me feel quite. satisfy. However, only the Galaxy S22 Ultra has an S Pen, which is the one that pushes you straight to the top. Looking forward to one day, Samsung will devolve the S Pen to the other two!
