The 12MP ultra-wide is good, too, with better low light performance and generally improved image clarity. The main 108MP camera produces 12MP images by default and is one of the best available, shooting highly detailed, well-balanced images, with improved low light performance over last year’s model, although sometimes faces can be overly brightened at night. The S22 Ultra has the same quad-camera set up as 2021’s S21 Ultra with not one but two optical zoom cameras producing equally impressive results. The S Pen can be used as a remote shutter button, too. The camera app offers point-and-shoot simplicity with various automatic modes but also has full manual control and the ability to save RAW files as well as Jpegs. The phone should easily make it through the heaviest of days, or two if used more frugally, which is longer than most rivals except the 48-hour-plus iPhone 13 Pro Max. Increasing the resolution of the display to its maximum QHD+ reduced the screen-on time by about an hour. The S22 Ultra lasts in excess of 40 hours between charges, including three hours on 5G, with the screen set to FHD+ resolution and actively used for more than 6.5 hours with a variety of chap apps, the camera, Chrome, Spotify, 2.5 hours of Netflix and a light bit of gaming. Gaming performance of the Exynos 2200 was more variable than rivals fitted with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. General performance was excellent – it handled multiple apps on screen at any one time with no slowdown, although it was not perceptibly faster than the already snappy models of last year. In the US the S22 Ultra has the standard top Android chip for 2022 from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, while in the EU it has a Samsung Exynos 2200. The S Pen slots into the bottom right of the phone. Fast (15W) wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are available. The phone fully charges in 63 minutes, hitting 50% in 22 minutes using a 45W USB-C PPS charger (power adaptor not included). Water resistance: IP68 (1.5m for 30 mins) Operating system: One UI 4.1 based on Android 12Ĭamera: Quad rear camera: 108MP wide, 12MP ultra-wide, 10MP 3x and 10x telephoto 40MP front-facingĬonnectivity: 5G, USB-C, wifi 6E, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, UWB and GNSS Processor: Samsung Exynos 2200 (EU) or Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (US) Main screen: 6.8in QHD+ Dynamic Amoled 2X (500ppi) 120Hz The 6.8in screen is stunning: sharp, smooth with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, and with an extremely high peak brightness of 1,750nits ( a standard measure of screen brightness), which makes it easier to read in direct sunlight than rivals. I can just about wield it one-handed without an an accessory but would likely resort to a Popsocket or similar on the back for the long term. It is a really big and imposing phone but one that is relatively easy to hold and use. The top and bottom are flat metal, while the glass back and front curve at the sides to meet an aluminium band. The smooth matt glass back and aluminium frame are available in a range of colours but look particularly monolithic in black. ![]()
