And following me, I have the super brand new Samsung Galaxy S-22 Ultra
0:16
And today I will go over unboxing along with a quick view at the spec sheets of the phone
0:20
So there we go, that's the box that it comes in. Obviously, judging by the size of it, you can probably gather that it does not come with a charger
0:29
and from what I've heard or seen recently, I don't even recommend getting the Samsung charger
0:38
though this is, I haven't tested it myself. But from what I've seen, apparently, the phones now support 45 watts charging
0:46
yet charge at the same rate as when you use a 20, what is it
0:50
I think they use like 22 watt chargers or 24, whatever it was. So basically it's absolutely useless
0:56
You play extra for a better charger. That doesn't really charge your phone any fast. completely fearing the purpose of it
1:03
Anyway, as you can see there is our slab of glass right here that we can massage for next two years probably, or a year at least
1:11
Below that we have some paperwork and anything actually like interesting cable, not really interesting
1:22
Oh come on. Oh, it's stuck. I just designed this weird way
1:34
Anyway, obviously you can see that there is just paperwork inside, so I'm not even going to bother with this
1:41
So, there is our phone. And as you can see, we have a nice camera array at the back
1:48
I do have to say I really like the design of the S-21s with this kind of like integration of the bump along with the actual like
1:57
of the device or frame it looked really nice though obviously this is
2:03
more up to preference anyway so right now it's turning on and what you
2:09
will be looking at right here is a 6.8 inch display holy hell that is a big
2:14
display at 1440p so exactly 1440 by 3088 and this is obviously
2:22
maybe not obviously but this is a dynamic Amelette display which runs at 120 hertz, has HDR 10 plus certifications, and peaks out at 17-100 nits
2:36
so it can get really bright. And another little nice touch right here, as you probably figured out, this is more like a note
2:45
rather than the S lineup. And the reason why I say this is because we actually have a pen in here
2:53
Now normally you could before get the pen additionally and have like stored someone in the case of the phone or whatever
3:01
It was kind of wonky. But it looks like they decided to forego the note lineup
3:09
At least that's how it looks like. Because this honestly just screams a note S20, I think it was S20, the last one
3:18
It has the same kind of look to it with the sharp edges, same design language
3:23
you have a pen so this for all tons of purposes is a note at the point at this
3:30
point so anyway let's just quickly go through the setup right here so I was
3:41
going over the display so let's finish that up obviously it's Samsung so I can't
3:46
skip Wi-Fi connection because why would I be able to do so
3:53
Okay, there we go. So, like I mentioned, the display, apart from the size and refreshment and so on
4:06
we are looking at 90.2% screen-to-body ratio. The screen does take a huge chunk of the front
4:15
You have minimal bezels, which, if you can see, it just looks really clean
4:19
Like I mentioned before, it really looks like a note from the last one that drops
4:23
released almost the same exact kind of shape and design on it
4:27
And additionally, the screen to body ratio looks roughly around the same kind of
4:32
the same as it did on the note Now last thing what was it pixels per inch we looking at a huge actual density
4:43
right here of 500. So this is one of the more dense
4:48
displays in terms of pixels per inch, so that's kind of nice
4:53
Though, I will be completely honest. I do like this, but at this size
4:58
having a 1440p display doesn't really give any advantages. It just, it's gonna look sharper and nicer, but maybe if you're looking to a microscope
5:10
I'm pretty sure, at least in my use case scenario, I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference between 1440p and 1080p on this kind of size
5:19
But that's just me. Some people might see the difference here and the sharpness of the text
5:25
I don't really, so that's why I'm kind of going about. It's nice, but for me it's useless, basically
5:31
Anyway, moving on to the actual cameras while this is still setting up
5:38
and this is going to take a while judging from what the tab S-8s did
5:43
this is going to be nicely like a couple minutes of absolutely doing getting your phone
5:48
ready amazing every phone can do it way quicker than this and costs half the price
5:54
but something is special anyway at the back we have as you can see what is it
5:59
quad camera setup. So obviously the main sensor is a 108 megapixels. This is a
6:07
white sensor of 1.8. Then we have 10 megapixels periscope, so that's this little like weird looking
6:16
embedded camera that kind of looks like it goes deeper than the actual display is. And below that
6:23
we, below or in the middle I guess, we have another 10 megapixel telephoto and 12 megapixel ultra-white
6:29
So we do have a nice camera setup at the back with really decent cameras right here
6:38
And if we flip it over to the front, we're looking at a hefty 40 megapixels wide
6:43
at this tiny little sensor right here. Now obviously when taking selfies, this will be amazing
6:50
When it comes down to comparing it to back and front, the back will obviously be better than the front
6:55
even though this is probably for the most part better than some phones have it, like have cameras on the back
7:04
So, anyway, with the cameras at the back, you can shoot videos at a hefty 8K 24 frames
7:12
but if you don't mind dropping it from 8K to 4K, you can now record at 30 and 60
7:18
and 1080p, obviously 30, 60 plus a slow motion of 240, and 720p has a slow motion of 960
7:27
Now from what I remember, there was some kind of improvements to this, so I think 720p now has a continuous recording at 960 frames
7:37
So you can get these really slow motions, continuous recordings, at a high resolution than you were before
7:46
And obviously, in terms of video recording, HVR 10+, and gyroscopes and all that stuff
7:51
as you would expect from my flagship of this kind of grade. So that being said, we can now move on to the actual specs
7:59
and that's kind of where I have a problem right here, because this is running exonus
8:04
Though, if I remember correctly, this exonus might actually be good. Haven't tested it yet
8:11
But speaking from a last, like, more is it, several generations of exonases
8:17
the exonnas were always worse than the Snapdragon. From what I remember, there are some kind of rumors that it's supposed to pair up with AMD to give like additional graphics a boost to it
8:31
But I don't know if this is the exonus or if that even ever happened
8:35
So that's something that will be tested most likely into benchmarks later on
8:40
But right now, we're just going to stick with the fact that this is just Mexinas. And that's all I'm going to say on this kind of fact
8:48
And in terms of storage and RAM, now we have several different options
8:53
This is most likely the base model. So we're looking at, oh no, this is actually not the base model
9:00
Damn, this is actually a specced out one. Is it like the highest one
9:04
No? Second highest version. So this is 512 gigs with 12 gigs of RAM
9:09
That is an insane amount of RAM for such a phone But yeah Going through all the options that you can get we have a base model 128 gigs of storage with 8 gigabytes of RAM
9:21
Now, all of these do have UFS 3.1, so you're going to get these super brisky
9:26
read and write speeds on this phone, along with transfers and so on
9:31
Now, moving on up with the storage, we can get 256, obviously
9:35
and with that you get a bump in RAM from 8 to 12 gigs
9:40
and then obviously you have the 512 which is this one with again 12 gigs of RAM
9:44
and holy crap you can actually get a 1 terabyte version of this with 12 gigs of RAM
9:50
so it cups out at 12 gigs and caps out in storage at 1 terabyte
9:55
that is insane amount of storage to be honest now the reason for this storage what I
10:00
would assume is because this is technically a substitute to a note and additionally
10:06
because this is a Samsung they have a really good integration to Samsung decks
10:09
Now if you're not aware of what Samsung DECS is, it's basically a pseudo-computer desktop
10:18
Now I did want to quickly look at this. We don't have any expendable storage, so whatever you buy is what you get
10:25
So going with the Samsung Dix, using something like, let me just quickly grab that
10:32
There we go. This little thingy thing. So as you can see, one is a type C, and then I have ports for USBs
10:39
SD cards and so on and then I also have a port for HDMI so with this I can plug it into any kind of monitor that uses
10:47
the HTML additionally can also find monitors though they cost more that have USBC
10:53
plug and then you get just a typical Samsung charging cable like this one like dispel
11:00
it into the monitor and to your phone and you basically have now full-fledged
11:04
desktop so with that you can plug it in I can connect mouse to it
11:09
and you have resizable windows and it genuinely looks like a computer with applications on what I would consider to be a desktop and it works fairly well
11:21
Samsung and Huawei are one of the two that I know from top of my head that did this really well and actually implemented it
11:29
Overly Android has it by default but Samsung and Huawei are the only ones that took the default and improved it because it's hidden in the settings and it's not
11:39
on typical androids and it's not working too great. Samsung, Huawei have it just flushed out and it works perfectly
11:50
And last things last, which is the battery right here. So we're looking at a hefty 5,000 mll ampower battery
11:57
Obviously it supposedly charges at 45 watts, though from tests that I've seen that is debatable
12:05
It might be just load of ball, considering it doesn't charge any quicker than
12:09
when you use a 25-watt charger from Samsung themselves, and even charging it with faster
12:15
doesn't really change the charging speed. Now, this is test that I seen from someone else
12:20
and obviously I wasn't there, so I would most likely need to do them myself
12:27
to make them to validate that this is absolutely correct information. But if it is, then there is some kind of weird scam going on here
12:37
So just keep that in mind. and if that is the case, I would recommend looking into that yourself
12:45
And if this is the actual case, what happens with the charging speeds, do forego the purchase of a dedicated charger from Samsung
12:54
because it just seems like they're trying to scam people at this point. But like I said, this just might be some kind of bug in the software
13:01
Maybe the info is just wrong at that test where, I don't know
13:06
done purposefully wrong or something like this. so like I said it's something that needs to be looked into a little bit further to actually have the definitive answer here
13:18
and another thing device supports wireless charging so we're looking at 15 watts reverse charging and 4.5 watts of reverse charging now I do have a charger I believe like somewhere right here
13:32
so I'm gonna try to see if I can find it just so you can see that it's charges
13:39
grab for it on the back. Oh, there we go. Now, let me zoom out a little bit
13:52
So you can see right now it is charging If I lift it up put it back down You can see that it is charging right now
14:01
Sorry for the actual like spotlight that you're seeing, but... Now we go, let's try that again so you can actually see without blaring light on it
14:10
Hello, come on. There we go. So obviously you can see that it is charging
14:19
that it is charging. So, I mean, kind of showing this like you didn't already expect from a flagship to have a wireless charging
14:27
So anyway, let's finish this off. There's not much more to say about it, apart from the price, which comes at $1,200 US dollars
14:34
Holy hell that is stupidly expensive. A little bit too much. Personally, I do like the note look of this
14:44
I kind of want to call this note because it genuinely looks like a Note S20
14:49
I even mixed it up myself here it looks like a Note 20
14:54
Not Note S20 There's no such a thing But yeah this is basically
14:57
What I would call a successor to the Node series So Here's display
15:03
I just kind of like Going briefly over all the features right here
15:08
Here's display Really you don't have these rounded corners As you do on like the other S's
15:12
And majority of the other devices So you do have fairly sharp corners right here
15:16
Looks really industrial you have the S-pen super high resolution display with a high
15:24
refresh rate really sick camera set up right here probably one of the better
15:30
at the moment and obviously it's running on Samsung skin it's going to be like what
15:40
Android 12 that's interesting and actually when you whip it out it gives you a little note
15:45
so hello can I write on it There we go. So, I'm going to lose my train of thoughts with that little animation right there
16:02
So yeah, the phone is decent. Oh, I know what I wanted to look
16:09
I wanted to check one little thing, because we do pay $1,200 for this phone
16:16
phone. I'm really curious about one little thing which I have a problem here
16:21
Hopefully it's not here. Simpson supposedly said that they're going to remove this and
16:26
what I'm talking about is ads in your Galaxy Store. So let's find this..
16:33
Where is it? Smart things now... Oh there we go, Galaxy Store. Continue
16:40
Ah no, never mind, we still get ads. I hope you really like ads on your brand new device that costed you $1,200 because Samsung says
16:54
now F you're still getting them. That hurts. So, yeah, minus for that atrocity of ads on a most expensive flagship
17:10
Maybe not more expensive. The folds will be more expensive. but just a typical device
17:15
A flat one that doesn't fall. This is probably one of the most expensive ones that you can get
17:20
So yeah, for the price you're getting majority of the things that you'd expect
17:24
it's still a little bit overpriced, and the inclusion of ads in stock, Samsung apps
17:30
is just an absolute effing joke. This is something that shouldn't have any place on a device at this price
17:38
I don't mind having an ad on a Xiaomi that I pay a fourth of the..
17:42
a quarter of the price for compared to this that roughly has similar performance but
17:48
on something like this where you get to fork out a lot of money for this and still
17:53
have ads is just an insult to the money that you spend so yeah at the end of the day
17:59
people that like something obviously that are going to get it people that probably hate Samsung are going to stay away from it and that's not much i can say to to change probably
18:07
people's mind here it's a nice device that's basically as much as i can say if we overlook the blaring
18:12
problems from just as Samsung as a company. But yeah, anyway, if you found this video helpful, don't forget to hit like, subscribe
