#s22ultra #s21ultra - Věda a technologie
My s21 ultra zoomed in quite a bit more and better than my s22 ultra. My s22 ultra will focus closer than my s21 ultra. My s22 does stable better. All around I think my S21 was a better camera and took better pictures. Day or night.
I appreciate your method of comparison and quick examples with short descriptions and zoom ins. Thank you for putting this together. It appears that the 22 Ultra has some processing improvements that are definitely especially the stabilization while walking at night!
Great video. Appreciated this. You guys are really good at this.
I'm certain sw updates will make big improvements like previous years
I just "upgraded" to the s22 ultra from s21 ultra and I am disappointed with it. The s22 ultra at night looks terrible compared to the s21 ultra at times. I always get a fisheye effect around the edges which are always blurry and always needs to be cropped because of it. I do not get that soft edges on the s21 ultra. Also battery lasts half a day compared to my 1 year old s21 ultra which lasts all day sometimes from 6am to 12am I still have around 20% battery life and my s22 ultra dies around 6pm. I am returning the phone and keeping my s21U.
I am ALSO returning my s22U.... The s22 ultra camera is terrible. Bought it and started taking photos side by side... WOW what a huge disappointment. The photos are CONSIDERABLY better on the s21. The poor photo quality is best observed with either a.) up close macro shot, or b.) zoomed in between 15x to 100x. Everything has a blur to it.
Yeah I just upgraded and did some side by side photos and it looks like the software got better, because it's pretty much exactly the same as my s21 photos maybe a little bit better now, especially with zoom shots.
Please. do not upgrade your phone every year, you are not going to notice a difference. at least you need to wait 2-3 years till you start thinking about the upgrade.
@@frantotti9754 only reason I upgrade is for the value, if I would have kept my s21 ultra it wouldn't be worth much bext year, I upgraded and only paid $160 difference.
Love your way how you explain us easily and perfectly great job brother❤️😁
Zero reasons to upgrade...all of above can be tweeked via software (only lens flare can't), question is...does samsung want's it?. If RAW sensor is unlocked for 3'rd party apps all those small things can be tweeked trought Gcam.
Great review! My S21 with stabilization on the video pans are horrible and unusable with all kinds of jump and stutter. How are video stabilized pans with the S22?
This is a great video, thank you! I do a lot of interior real estate photos. I am interested in having the interior bright while seeing outside the windows also. Can you comment on which is better in this case?
6:25 The S21 Ultra has night mode on the ultrawide as well, I don't understand this statement.
I think these guys are all paid to say positive things about the S22ultra ....i guess we have to wait for some honest reviewers coz for real i don't think there is much difference between the s21ultra and S22ultra
Best S21/S22 camera comparison I've seen.
That night video stabilization on the s22 ultra vs the s21 BLEW me away. I didn't expect such a huge upgrade
I cant see the drastic difference in image or video quality that force me to update from S21 ultra. I will better wait until next year. Currently very satisfied with my S21 ultra. Thanks for the video. As always very informative content.
Wait for s23 fuck all diffrance
Do you feel any shutter lag in S21 ultra? I'm considering getting S21U or Pixel 6 pro. I take lot of pictures with kids and moving pets.
@@mah92lk No bro there is no lag or stutter infact it has been working as smooth as was launched. It is advisable to go with S21U as the cameras are better compare to pixel also the chip exynos 2100 is far more powerful than pixel tensar chip which also made by samsung for couple of more years to come. You can go with it without any doubt.
@@MRHShah Thank you for your suggestions. Where I live both S21 ultra and Pixel 6 pro are on sale for the same price. So I'm in a dilemma to choose one. How's the battery life and standby drain?
I mean, seing this I just decided to go for the iphone 13 pro max trading in my s10 for $800 and keeping my s21U which is great and not too different at the end. S22U is great but not so different than the 21, and the older is more comfortable in the hand .
Thank you for a great review, just what I needed. Upgrading from an S7 and was trying to decide between 21 & 22 ultras. Night photo quality has sold me on the 22, as I take so many night shots.
You suggest 22 instead of 21 in terms of photos? I'm basino on that the choice...I'mgoing for the 21 maybe because I like a more natural effect, a vintage paste and more contrasto vs the ton artificialty of 22. My photos are mostly taken at day and I preferiti a "paste" look. So, 21 is the right one for me? Thank you :)
Hardware/specs is fine, but I believe it really comes down to software optimization in the long run. Given the S21 track record with its performance to update ratio, I expect the s22 series to be incredible post 4 months in
Any updates?
@@efrainsanchez1999 Yea. It still sucks. I just bought one, and have an s21 ultra to compare with..... have had for 2 days and am now sending it back. The photos are AWFUL compared to s21
It support CDMA？
@@Mxracer6y Damn. So is it better to buy a s21 ultra or a 22 ultra for videos and photos
A question. When the hardware is same, why can't Samsung upgrade the quality of camera on s21 ultra same as s22 ultra? Or they do it on purpose to sell more S22s??
Only the flare part can't be updated as its the hardware....
Buddy... can you also make a video on their speakers comparison also... very important parameter...
I heard that S-Pen inclusion has led to decrease in speaker hardware size... which has led to decreased volume and hence the quality too...
i love the reviews that this guy do. love the personality and voice
with the software features on S22 ultra, does samsung offer updates for S21 ultra?
I sincerely hope that Samsung will fix this problem of HDR and overexposure, the S21 Ultra is so good in this field, it would be going back to the days of the S8, S10 not to fix this problem.
The difference on detail with the Video inside the car is mind blowing 🙆 but I will stick to my S21 U 🙂
Great video thank you for sharing
Question: what camera setting do you recommend putting the S22 ultra in for crisp images even when zooming in ? (the 108 mp will take up to much memory)
For zooming in 9: 16 I personally use.
I start to watch your videos since the launching of S22 series. You have made many reviews about S22 series. Very informative and straight forward reviews. I just wondering what is the chipset in your S22 series?
Guys, @phonearena
I am in need of a new phone, will be looking to purchase before July.
I currently have the huawei mate 20 pro and absolutely love it, but would like something that has a better camera for my holidays.
Any recommendations?
S21 Ultra is a great looking phone!! Sammy took a step back with this s22 lens crap 💩 🤦🏽♂️
I have an s22 ultra but I don't know which mode I should use. 4k 30 fps or 4k 60 fps for normal daylight circumstances. Please help!
I have tested today S22 Ultra (exynos) with my S21+ (exynos) with the daylight photos with sunny weather. I have impression that s21+ is taking sharper photos in every and each shoot on basic, standard camera mode and main lens. I dont think it is correct and I think future software updates should fix it.
The display on the s21 are actually better and ppi (Pixels per inch) are more on the screen. That might be the reason why
@@RonaldSimonKahn good point but not in this case, i compared the photos and videos on OLED TV.
Ultra sensor are bigger and lens are too bright, pruduces a shalow focus area that means its more dificult to have a "Sharp" photo. Thats why s21+ camera are sharper. I've had s21fe and ultra at same time, and indeed s21fe photos are sharper, but certainly not better.
@@rbr-relaxingbikerides8570 agree, anyway video quality of S22 ultra was crap. Now i owe s23 ultra and finally i know what 4k is watching on bigger screen.
Thanks for testing the mics in different environments.
The first 6.40 minutes of the visual aspect in your review is intermittently blurry, yet after that remains clear.
I'm waiting for a camera comparison between the 108MP of S22 U vs. the 50MP of S22 plus.. Hope u grant my request 🙏
Are you using the exynos ?
De todos os comparativos que vi, esse foi o único que o S22 perdeu, e perdeu muito feio! Há algo errado aí, seria o Exynos? Pois nos outros vídeos, é nítida e melhora do S22, é inegável.
Thank you very much for the video, I was obsessed with the warm color of the s22 ultra that I don't like; I was going to send it to warranty I thought it was my equipment, but I see that this model is like this
S22 shot of Wind surfer at 7:13 looks almost like a CPL filter in that the water reflections are almost completely damped. Lens coatings? Whatever it is, it is spectacular!
It completely ruined that image. Too smooth and un-natural. Their going to need that as a fix. Atleast with the s21 you get the waters detail and can use a app to smooth. S22 you can't add the detail and your only left with overly smooth. Hopefully next year's model is corrected.
Thank fuck I kept my s21 ultra ;) I prefer true to life images and edit if you want a fake image
S21 ultra also has night mode on ultra wide cam, so i cant get your coment " s22 ultra now has night mode on ultra wide lens" ???
Both look good. 22 should be better but daytime photos look better on 21. 22 is not that much better at night.
Much prefer the shape of the 21 as the 22 is far too square to hold for a long time...
I am totaly torn.
s22 £1200 or renewed 21 for £600... really. 21 seems like a bargain,
Go for S21 Ultra. You won't regret it.
If this is the difference between them while presnted then the actual difference will be much lower. 22utra from 21 ultra will be never a wise upgrade 😊.21 ultra does better in some shots too..😃
S pen
@@thandozungu2428 its a camera comparison
I'm not sure if you need new glasses or what most photos I see no difference besides some of the s22 ultra photos being worse
Cameras aren't really new tho. S21 ultra camera is still gonna be comparative for a while. Always use exposure comp with Samsung makes the pics look better and also lowers the iso.
Хорошее сравнение 👍 nice comperesnt
s22 design used to look ugly to me so i decided to buy s21 ultra instead of s22 ultra..but now my mind has changed..i find s22 design beautiful..
MAJOR BUMMER. You can post process a lot of things but you cannot post process that balcony back into sharpness. Will Samsung fix this in a software upgrade? I sure hope so. Thanks for the heads up, great job on the camera comparison.
Is its all software enhancements, i wonder why they cannot do it for s21 ultra as well via updates. Paying so much money for a phone, we should be eligible for 1-2 years of enhancements as well.
Do you use S22 Ultra with Snapdragon or Exynos in this video?
Will the S21 ultra get a camera update?
since you have 22 ultra i need to know about the heating issues that we saw in 21 ultra is there is 22. pls comment
Thanks vick 2th video today nice
This is kinda bad. They just use oversharpening to make the photos look more high res but it give so much glitches. On my oppo find x3 pro i take photos and sometimes edit them on the phone and add sharpness. If i do that too much i get the same halos and glows on things as on photos on the s22 ultra! Not good at all. When do do not use oversharpening, the photos would maybe be alsmost the same as the s21 so they try to hide that
Can you try 30-100x zoom, and night shots without night mode?
Exynos or Snapdragon?
How long does an anti-glare coating last on a lens constantly going in and out of a pocket?
Forever, because the coating is on the lens located behind the outer camera glass.
what about portrait mode?
Like he said... it's all about software processing at the end of the day... same hardware... same brand... better images of s22 ultra is because of software processing... samsung should provide the same in s21 ultra too... after all not everyone would just throw away s21 ultra to buy s22 ultra... for same piece of camera hardware atleast...
Is exynos 2200 vs exynos 2100?
thank you! i am choosing the s21 ultra! the photos are far more natural looking! the sharpening is awful on s22
S21 or 21 ultra has wider cam ?
No need upg my s21 ultra is beast i will get s24 when it will be out
S21 Ultra Win..😁
No baby
Can someone please tell me how this is possible that not ONE tech reviewer has tested autoframes on nightvideo s22 ultra ? I will be impressed when samsung can match iphone 11 pro max video quality, especially 4k 60fps, i hope the s23 ultra can match at least 3 year old iphone on video quality, im not critizing samsung, but iphone just kills it with the video, and samsung is just okey, they focusing to much on regular photos and nightmodes and zoom.
S22 ultras stabalization on another level 😯😯😯
Are you using an exynos s22 or Snapdragon?
It must be Exynos based on his region
It's Exynos
@@PeterBalga i thought phonearena is based in the US and gsmarena in Eastern Europe
Why isnt there any Pixel 6 Pro vs S22 Ultra camera comparisons out there?
I was wondering the same thing! I switched from a OnePlus 7 Pro to a Pixel 6 Pro and I already know that the Pixel will have a relatively less performance- but I still want to know the exact difference between the two!
@@MiahVega really? As a person who shoots with a a6400 sometime. 6pro is lacking where? You know how hard it is to capture them action pan shots on a dedicated camera or any other smartphone so far? I can't stress this. Like it takes a lil skill. Pixel took the skill out of it.
What are you talking about? There is this one on this channel from last week. Pixel 6 also rank #5 or worst of all Android cameras so kinda pointless comparing with S22
@@Peizxcv lies just saw the Video, samsung is a 3rd rate camera behind the iPhone and Pixel 6
Exynos or snapdragon??
Happy with my s 21 ultra, won't upgrade to s 22 ultra or plus!
I agree with u
i love my s21 ultra no need upgrade i will get new phone when updates will be no longer avilable in s21 ultra for 4 years maybe 2025 new phone :)
May God bless you ... Is it possible to get cool colored pictures on the Galaxy S22 Ultra ? And how do we get that ? Because I like cool color photos .. 🌷
Are these exynos or snapdragon
Is this exynos or snapdragon
s21 ultra better on many shots
So from s20 ultra 108 mpix camer has not changed just the sofware..hmmm why not jusy update just the softaware not the phone
Plot twist both phones are the same just an extra s pen
It's weird how as far as sharpness goes the S21 ultra is better it's also on top in battery life
For me S21 Ultra is way much better than the S22 Ultra. S21 Ultra is much more natural looking, the sharpening is normal not exagerated like in the S22 ultra, the shadow details is really a shadow looking not processed shadow. Samsung brings back the exagerated hdr effect of the S20 series which specially when taking selfies brings the dark shade of the details like when you have eyebags it emphasize it that makes you look like a zombie in a horror movie. I think S22 Ultra is a downgrade without the new chipset and S pen. It even copy the design of their ENTRY LEVEL phone last year the Galaxy A32 i think their twins, stick with the S21 Ultra its way much better and gonna save you some money.
thank you
The mic on the S22 ultra is just mind blowing
did u watch the part he's in the car? s21 ultra is far better. s21 ultra mic got a boxed in effect
Comparing s22 ultra snapdragon vs exnoss
Hii , can u include VIVO x70 pro plus with the camera sample ??
X70 pro plus the best
I think Samsung out did themselves but there's room for improvement via updates...
Please make a speaker test with Google pixel 6 pro vs Asus Rog 5 or 5s vs iphone 13 pro max vs s22 ultra!!!
I returned my S22 Ultra since it appears that on the S22 front facing video in portrait video, they got rid of the wide angle. So I am keeping my S21 Ultra because it goes to wide screen on S21 Ultra on front facing in Portrait mode. Can anyone tell me if I am missing something? I already returned my S22 but would by again if I CAN film video in wide screen on the S22 Ultra front facing in PORTRAIT MODE!
Just check and the s22u cannot change the angle of the shot in Portrait mode. but you can still crop the video to the wide screen aspect ratio in post.
S21 ultra has better pictures
Is 108MP camera the same sensor as that of last year?
Yes
That s22 ultra perform well and where it failed definitely samsung will fixed that by software updates. BTW this is too early to say that s22 ultra's camera is not perfect after some updates u will definitely change ur decision.
Why isn't Samsung updating the software in the s21 ultra as well then?
That would be a fair thing to do, since they promised 3 more years update and the sensors are the same...
brother I have one question about s22 ultra curved display
I want to buy but many people saying it's broke easily
So what do you things should I buy s22 ultra or iPhone 13 pro Max
it is glass glass breaks. it depends how you drop your phone and type of surface. s22 ultra and iphone both needs case. with good protective case both should be fine with both.
@@alexs1118 I understand but many people saying it's broke easily because curved display
You can't cover full display because of curved display
Pepole saying flat screen better than curved display brother please tech me
Which one I should buy iphone or s22 ultra
You know to much money
Before I invest I need to think about it
@@mdshagor7762 they have curved glass screen protectors. Curved screens have been out for years now and there’s good enough protection to be found
@@ztfilms5047 can you share me some link so that I can see how look like curved screen protector
the mic on s21 ultra is noticeably less noisy
Zoom video of s22 ultra is now very stable than last year
Next maybe select the hdr10+ on s21 ultra when doing contrast tests ;)
Not much of a difference across the board, and I don't prioritize shooting at night. I assume that future updates will increase the effectiveness of the already effective S21 Ultra. No need for me to update to the S22 at this time.
Do you think that the S21 ultra will get additional camera updates?
@@spiedey8 Yes
@@airbornetommyjames thanks!
I am still struggling to find a winner between S21 ultra and S22 plus. S21 ultra has the better camera, but the S22 plus has an amazing size and flat display. Any thoughts on that?
Today I bought S22 Ultra, I am extremly unhappy with the battery life, I am considering to return it back to the shop. I had Iphone 13 pro Max, what phone should I buy if I will return the Samsung, no idea :(
sounds like u just have a shit ton of money and don’t know what to do with it first world problems I guess 🤷🏽♂️
Nah, not enough dif to change my s21u. i will keep my s21 till s23 or s24, because why not
Almost perfect video but you missed out the higher zooms! Waisted time.
I need to upgrade my note 10 plus the 22 ultra is just about in my price range for a used one if can be had for around £500 I might resell my note as have another 10 also.
or do I go iphone 12 or 13 the 14 still far to much for me or a good night camera phone for around £500. in good use con
Apart from night mode the s21 ultra takes it
True upgrade in S22 ultra🔥🔥
Thanks for the honest info
Sorry, Samsung, I rather not upgrade 21u to 22u this year. 22u is better in camera, but still not radically, and my 21u sd is not exynos :)
Can the S22 ultra read RAW images from an actual camera?
S22 ultra camera also have director view mode?
Yes
