The customized chip for galaxy might also facilitate the much needed optimization of camera processing algorithms on the latest galaxy!

My thoughts too. Looking forward to the new camera! BTW - I have two S22 ultra phones (mine and wife's). The one purchased later (September 22) has better camera lens sharpness/uniformity compared to the one bought at the time of release. It is apparent in 108 mp mode in landscape pictures...

Same here. Pre-reserved. I have no complaints with my s22 ultra though. Just got 2 new cases for it and it is back to being new as on day 1!

Camera processing has improved post the one ui 5 update (BVJA). Very similar to previous S21 ultra camera, better in some instances, especially in 108 mp mode. Camera improvements are noted across all cameras. 😊

In my knowledge of Samsung One UI 4.1 home launcher, 1. No 2. No Do correct me, if I'm wrong.

Really liking the new Spigen air skin case (black) for S22 ultra! This case is not meant for any drop protection but for day to day scratch protection. It is really a slim case (as advertised) weighing 18g! Also have the Ringke fusion (Smoke black), Spigen thin fit, Samsung Silicone case besides...

Yes, NOT tempered glass. It's pretty smooth like original glass screen. The oleophobic coating is good, I guess. It should work with all official Samsung covers. I'm using the Silicone case without any issues.

After using multiple screen protectors for S22 ultra, from gadgetshieldz, spigen and samsung, I am certain that the official one is the best among these. Easiest of all to install and very good in quality!

Happy to report that after the latest AVH9 update the camera processing has improved. Now the photos clicked indoors appear more pleasing with better processing of details on human subjects/faces. No more smearing noticed on pixel peeping. There is, of course some grain in lowlight photos, like...

So, after 4 months of waiting for camera improvements through software updates, I am of opinion that Camera (mainly software processing) on the S22 ultra is subpar. Even S21 ultra and Note20 ultra appear to have better results especially when photographing people. This new samsung processing...

Agree 100% about Samsung service.

Today, it took 1hour and 27 minutes to charge from 27% to 100% with same charger and under same conditions. Device care version on my s22 ultra is 13.0.03.1

So, today it charged from 53% to 100% in just 55 minutes. Phone wasn't used while charging and 4G data bluetooth were on like before. Charging was done at similar location of the same room as before. The difference was that I used Samsung 25W adapter to power the Wireless Charger (instead of hp...

What charger adapter are you using with the Wireless Charger? I think it definitely charges faster with samsung 25W adapter. Will redo it with Samsung adapter and update my findings here.

It took about 3 hours (183 minutes) to charge from 10-95%. Using an hp 65W adapter powering the Wireless Charger Duo. All this time phone was not being used but had 4G data and bluetooth on.

Will try. Will need to drain the battery first. At present battery is at 76% after charging to 85% this morning (7 am).

I thought so. Mine charges from 50% to 85% in 40 minutes using the new wireless charger duo. Of course, the 25W wired charger charges it from below 10% to 100% in about an hour, pretty quick and efficient as well. The former trumps in ease of use and convenience though!

Don't know about wired super fast charging but mine doesn't show super fast wireless charging either (as advertised) when charging with the new wireless charger duo (using samsung 25W adapter). It just shows fast wireless charging. P.S. I'm not sure if it should even display super fast wireless...

Does it bring the ECG and BP monitor in India?

One thing for sure that has been rectified in camera post April update is the weird halo artifacts over walls with lights on. Overall the HDR works better than before. This is the improvement that I've noted in camera till now.

Yes, the screen protector is good for non S-pen use. If you can buy and apply the OEM one then go for it. Otherwise, gadgetshieldz/spigen are good to go for.

BTW the gadgetshieldz and official silicone case combo is going well for me. One slight irritating downside to using the silicone case is that it is not easy to slip in or out of a tight/slim fit trouser pocket! P.S - The OEM plastic SG is superior to the gadgetshieldz film for S-Pen use! The...

Absolutely, I haven't missed any notifications in vibration mode till now in past 10 days of using this phone. Phone will be usually in my trouser pockets. I never had any issues perceiving vibrations from any previous phones either. But I didn't like the noisy motors some of them have (yes even...

I am really liking the new x-axis motor in the S22 ultra. Was never a fan of any kind of vibration feedback on my previous smartphones and used to keep it turned off. But this one is very quiet and refined 😊!

Yes, on 4G. I'm especially impressed with standby time (snapdragon definitely superior in this regard)!

Battery backup has been above average for me on the S22 ultra. It is definitely better than the S21 ultra (which my brother is using) and the MI 11 ultra (which I have for camera use).

Camera app seems unfinished! All pics have visible grain in auto mode. Daytime pics are worse than s21 ultra. Structural details are missing. Human subjects appear smeared in indoor lighting conditions. Except for the better night photos the s22 ultra appears to be worse in main camera quality...

Quality is like any other wet application film (example Spigen Neoflex). - It feels a bit sticky compared to TG and TPU/plastic ones but is significantly thinner. - A well done (properly aligned) wet application film is not even noticeable whilst providing pretty good scratch protection. -...

It's easy for me (gadgetshieldz one). Will use a RO water mixed with trace of mild shampoo in a wide glass utensil to wet the SG and screen. Alignment is the key here. Done in 10-15 minutes for front and back film application. But it does take practice 😊.

Absolutely. But that feel in hand is awesome!

Finally got it - the 512 GB S22 ultra black and my GW4! Received it 3 days back from the smartcafe. Also received 2380 smarclub points. Paid INR 99400 (+ Defective old note 8). Using the official silicone case and gadgetshieldz screen protector with it. No issues so far 😊!

Maybe next time, I will order online too. Smartcafe guys and their offline network seem happy catering to "not top line specced" customer base! First time in a long time, not happy with Samsung offline shopping!

I recently got relocated to Tirupati from Coimbatore. Really enjoyed my 3 years there! Thanks buddy I do appreciate your effort but I want black. Somehow, I don't like Burgundy at all 😊!

I have to pay INR 97,400 (Includes 512GB S22 ultra + GW4 - 2000 prebook amount) after exchanging my worn out Note 8 (no accessories, broken s-pen, dents all over, yellow screen). Price breakup (INR) - Total amount: 119000 + 3000 = 122000 Note 8 exchange value: 10000 + 8000 (upgrade bonus)...

Even I didn't receive my 512 GB S22 ultra yet (pre-reserved on 11/02 and later pre-booked on 23/02). My smartcafe guy (Tirupati) says he too has 512 GB Burgundy in stock. But I want black. He says he'll get it by Sunday evening 🥵!

My silicone case got shipped today.

In my experience so far, it goes as follows - the smartcafe guy will check the phone (to be exchanged) physically, then ask you a few routine questions, then call someone over phone for best resale value. Few will take some pics of your phone and circulate them in their WhatsApp groups. Done!

Unlike the 256 GB version the online route customers might receive their 512 GB version earlier! All the epic unboxing bullc**p also seems to be directed towards 256 GB customers (majority, I guess). Might as well go online next time for the next top tier Galaxy smartphone! P.S. - Really don't...

I can confirm. Offline 512 GB s22 ultra not available yet whereas the 256 GB version is. My smartcafe guy says it will take 2 more days for 512 GB to arrive i.e by March 10 (probably).

I've never seen such stark difference in camera video quality (especially stabilization) amongst the SD vs Exynos variants of samsung flagship till date!

Absolutely! 🤗

My wife's too! I'm a VR surgeon myself. You truly are multi-talented!

You are right. If anything you might feel the S22 ultra more evenly balanced compared to the S21 ultra (or the Mi 11 ultra) which felt top heavy to me!

Checked the S22 ultra demo unit today. Holding a note smartphone after a long time felt reassuring! It felt bigger yet lighter than my Mi 11 ultra! Played a little with camera. Indoor (artificial light) photos in auto are still no match to the Mi 11 ultra but pro mode on the S22 ultra was much...

My thoughts exactly! It was just an experiment on my part to try out any other Android brand after about 11 years of using Samsung (and Sony) smartphones. Partly, because in my country there is no good alternative (android) to Samsung. So much for this experiment! However, the camera (esp...

This one shows S22 ultra SD having better battery backup than S21 ultra exynos (and Note 20 ultra SD)

All Samsung official cases are in stock at present. Anybody interested may order. I ordered a black silicone case (minimalist, soft touch and easy cleaning/sanitization) for my S22 ultra. Also ordered a wet application screen guard from gadgetshieldz (clear front and matte back).

Maybe you are correct in being sceptical. We might have to wait for the retail units to arrive.

It sure is a matter of concern. But hey, the same article states the Exynos 2200 yield to be even worse (no specifics given). So, going with Exynos would also not have guaranteed a better binned chipset in the S22 series smartphones IMO. P.S. - Stories of poor chip yield by Samsung Foundry and...

Fraud can happen in any country. It is not country specific. I think why most European and American countries have a good return period 2-4 weeks) for consumer electronics (like a smartphone) is because of the strict consumer laws being implemented by the said countries which these companies...
