I appreciate it, thank you!

Thank you very much! Yes the Note 20 Ultra is still an awesome phone - lots of benefits over the S22U and other areas that are just as good!

There a good Phone arnt they ! I've just come over from a Oppo find x2pro over to the note 20 ultra only few differences I've noticed is the speakers arnt as good & the battery but apart from that the Samsung is great

My Note 20 ultra was a Desaster. The focus of the cam was very bad by fast moving objects.. Batterie life was the worst i ever had (and i owned much Samsung), many things we're laggy, later the focus worked not any more and they had to replace the chip or Mainboard (known problem). Because of that all I'm scared of getting the s22u

Did you get the s23?

Fair enough! There’s still plenty that Note users can enjoy with this phone. I hope you like it 🤙🏼

Hi Alec, are you satisfied with S22U ?

Glad to hear it! Could be bad news for Exynos users at this rate…

Just wait..

Wait for what exactly..?

@@victuringan1429 lol based on your avitar I can see why you want it to fail. 🍎 🍏

Nice!

Thank you! I’m covering this in the “vs iPhone” video. Hoping Samsung fix it soon though!

@@insidetechltd it's been years now, I wouldn't hold my breath.

@@insidetechltd Hmm i dont have shutter lag on my S22U Snapdragon variant

Thanks a lot! I would love to do more smartwatch reviews, I just didn’t think they were particularly popular on this channel. There wasn’t much interest in my Apple Watch 6 review so I haven’t done one since 🤷‍♂️

@@insidetechltd try Samsung and others to see. It might click you know.

You're right, i'll definitely try to expand my coverage. I'm especially interested in the upcoming Google Pixel Watch, but we'll see!

Thank you very much 👊🏼 don’t worry, you’re not the only one! I’ve since watched some other reviews and did spot some of these issues (usually to a lesser extent) even when reviewers didn’t mention it. I’m a bit annoyed too, but hopefully Samsung will fix this soon!

Exynos or sd?

Darn you people complain every year.

@@dannybishop68I didn't for s21u. It was an excellent smartphone, be it Exynos or Snapdragon. Still is

Thank you 🙌🏼

It might only affect the Exynos models so most YT use the Snapdragon model

You’re right. Most of the reviews online are snapdragon only. I did actually watch a few reviews though and could still spot some of the softening in the main lens shots. Not as bad though. But it’s definitely a problem! I’ve got another video coming up with the regular S22 and S22+ which sheds some light on whether it’s a sensor/hardware or processing issue. I’ll go into it in more detail then, but for now it seems like a little of both. So hopefully Samsung can still improve things, but they’re taking their time at least…

@@insidetechltd thanks for making the video! Very helpful and you got a new sub! I just hope samsung actually knows about this and will eventually fix the issue. :D

what camera problem the only problem i had was wen taking a moon shot i had to refocouse the lens like 50 times or else it just looked like a ball of light bjt the last few updaites fixed that

Awesome, thanks a lot! 👊🏼

That’s great to hear, thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot 👊🏼

I've actually not tried this myself, but I don't see why not. Perhaps not all the features will be supported but I guess it would work (although why would you need to?) Good to know what you want to see going forwards though, thank you!

Thank you 🙌🏼

Nice!

Thank you very much, I appreciate it 👊🏼

Thanks a lot! I’ll be reviewing the S23 Ultra too 🤓

Thank you very much! 🙌🏼

where did you buy it?

Thanks a lot!

Thank you! So it might just be that it’s too dark. But otherwise you can try turning off beauty mode. It’s on by default and it smooths out your skin, so in low light it can sometimes make the image blurry. Try that!

@@insidetechltd You are welcome. I’ll try that and see what happens. Thanks a lot and keep up the great work!

Thank you! Glad you’re happy 👍🏼

An S22U just to toy with...now that's living the best tech life!

@@insidetechltd I absolutely agree! I know they are just phones and my parents tell me that all the time But it's super fun, feels amazing to own 2 of the best technologies the 21st century has to offer😊

Thanks a lot! I think you're overdue an upgrade with a Note 8!

Yes I was surprised by how good the Note 20 Ultra still is!

Awesome, thank you 👊🏼

I understand. Got the S22 Ultra 1TB(tho exynos) for $899. (no traiding in).

Awesome!

Thank you so much 👊🏼

I miss the SD card slot 😓

u guys r overdramatic about the sd slot like kust get the bigger memory one ull be fine

S22 Ultra 128 GB: £1149 S22 Ultra 256 GB: £1249 128 GB microSD card that’s interchangeable easily between devices: £12 I think that’s most people’s issue 🤷‍♂️

@@insidetechltd even the 125 is fine

Exynos 👍🏼

🙌🏼🙌🏼

That's interesting! Both this launch model and another I picked up in green for a later video had the issues, sadly. Hopefully some of the newer models don't have it though so fewer people are affected!

I hope you enjoy it!

Enjoy your phone take anything these KZfaqr say with a grain of salt I love mine to

call samsung and tell them u lost it or sometging they will send a new one i fucked the tip of mine up amd dint relize the box came with extra they sent me a new pen for free

I guess the decision is to try and force people into buying the 1 TB model. But I agree - sucks that the SD card expansion is gone

@@insidetechltd hopefully samsung sees comments like this and brings the card back for the next versions but I doubt it. The money will speak and I'm hoping that it speaks in favor of expandable storage. If they have a 1tb with the SD card, I'd trade in my note 20u in a heartbeat

Thank you 🙌🏼

Nice, thanks for watching!

My pleasure! Keep it up!

I waited for the graphite S21 Ultra last year and it was worth it 👌🏼

Fingers crossed they do 🤞🏼 Still lots of other S21U camera advantages to enjoy though!

Genuinely. It's kind of insane. If you measure the 0 - 50% it's a bit faster, closer to 8 minutes faster. So 45 W is faster at the beginning, but by the end there's barely anything in it

True, but it’s not as seamless having a dongle sticking out of your phone than a hidden microSD card. Plus you can’t charge and carry your storage with you at the same time

Makes sense 👍🏼

Someone else asked this, and I said I think they should check out the JBL earbuds I tested in the 'best earbuds under $100' video i did recently. Very loud and bass heavy!

Yeah, you'd except slightly softer edges for larger sensors - so hardware is still definitely an option. But no way near this bad, and the noise issue shouldn't be there at all. Still not sure what it is exactly but it seems most people are saying it's the Exynos models only. So...processing then? I just don't know yet 🤔

@@insidetechltd you have Snapdragon version to compare yet

Not got one for myself yet though. Happy to get both in and make a comparison video though if enough people want to see it!

@@insidetechltd so you are comparing the exynos s22 here? :) thanks for your great review, i love your channel!

Of the ones you suggested, I would try Soundcore's Liberty 3 Pro. The hybrid driver setup delivers powerful bass. But i'd actually suggest you try some of JBL's earbuds instead - very bass heavy. The ones from my 'top 10 earbuds under $100' would be a good shout!

@@insidetechltd would the jlbs be the loudest and most bass heavy earbud you can buy?

@@insidetechltd what jbls is most bass heavy?

@@insidetechltd or do you think the JVC HA-XC90T XX is good?

I'm not sure if they're the loudest and most bass heavy in the world, but again, the model in my 'best earbuds under $100' are my recommendation

I'm not really a fan of this year's 108 MP sensor either, not from my experience so far anyway. I've got a full explanation/review against the S22+ coming very soon!

Hey there 👋🏼

Thank you so much! It’s coming, I promise!

@@insidetechltd 😁😁❤

There are a few workarounds to use an Android phone with a Mac 👌🏼

@@insidetechltd what kids of ones? Are there easy ones? As I am getting the s22U in September

Android File Transfer is usually your best bet. Very easy transfers but compatibility isn't always there. Google photos is another good cloud-based solution and keeps everything organised too. There are also dedicated third party apps for this you can find on google, but I haven't tested all of those

@@insidetechltd ok thanks

Fair enough!

I assume to save on costs and they figure that most people are using phone cases anyway. Shame though because it was nice!

No problem!

Agreed

Wow, massive screen upgrade!

Thanks for watching!

I hope so! Let us know though, because i've had some issues with the S22 Ultra 😬

It’s pretty standard across the industry now. I think it’s good for cutting down on e waste, and everyone has a charger already

Good for you 👌🏼

I want this too, but I think it's dead 😔

Purpose if people stop buying S Series, and sales are down, would this force Samsung to bring back the SD Slot.

Nice 👍🏼

Nice, glad you like it!

True this ^

Not something I ever really use myself, but good to know!

It's a UK model - we still have to have that information on the back of the phone

@@insidetechltd I wonder why

Yes, shutter lag seems to come and go each year 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t say it’s poor, myself. But not as good as last year for sure

And youve made a comment that has no merits...you don't own the phone so you don't have a clue and the battery is not poor that's a fact .

Nice 👌🏼

I agree, the larger sensor often gives a shallower plane of focus - but there's also a difference between 'soft' and 'out of focus'. Last year's S21 Ultra doesn't have this issue (and also has a large sensor) so that's what i'm trying to demonstrate in this video

@@insidetechltd as a person who has several full frame cameras and high-end prime lenses fall off focal fall off is very real when you have high apertures and huge sensors I think we're splitting hairs here both sensors on the two phones are different so naturally they're focal lens fall off it's going to be different. Unless you shot at f22 your gonna have soft corners cell phones have fixed apertures

@@phillippugh2161 I don't doubt your experience at all! I know exactly what you mean, and I pointed out that fall off effect last year comparing the large sensor S21U against other phones. But this year, there is a definite issue with the outer edges of the frame. Noise for instance, that's nothing to do with fall off/sensor size etc, as i'm sure you know. It's either a sensor, processing or both issue. Hopefully in time this will become more clear

I think it’s still quite good, but disappointing compared to last year

Exynos

@@insidetechltd Makes sense

@CJ Dingcong Interesting! I'm definitely hearing that Exynos seems worse than Snapdragon from most people

Disagree, but each to their own!

Nice 👍🏼

Agreed! Got a new video on how the camera issues compare to the S22 and S22+ coming this week, some interesting results!

@@insidetechltd 👍👍

Definitely still an awesome phone 👊🏼

@@insidetechltd yes!!!

Of course nothing is perfect. But it’s my job to point out what I don’t like as well as what I do 🤷‍♂️

It made mine look good too, I was surprised!

Your assumption is incorrect I’m afraid. What reason would I have for intentionally creating the narrative that way? I would gain literally nothing from that, I’m simply presenting my own experience with the phones - and I happen to prefer the S21 Ultra. Some of that is based on objective findings, such as the lower RAM this year, those camera issues I’ve demonstrated, the fact that the screen is now more curved…they’re indisputable. The opinion I have on liking flatter screens, however…that’s just personal preference. I’m not the first to voice this opinion either. I remember Marques saying in his coverage of the phones that he was keeping the S21U and not switching to the S22U. It’s just a matter of preference

@@insidetechltd For a mobile phone to be better than another, it doesn't need to be better in every situation, none is... You chose 2 or 3 daytime photo situations where the S21 is slightly better than the S22, and all the other situations that exist? Why weren't they considered? When I bought my S21 Ultra last year I was desperate when I compared it with my P30 pro, the P30 pro was much better than the S21, however after many updates the S21 improved a lot, and I can say today that it is better than the P30 pro... I bought 2 weeks ago the S22 ultra and I can say that it is better than the S21 ultra in photography... selfie, portraits, night photos, zoom, videos and day photos is better in most cases, I would say that in every 10 it is better in 8... But I know and everyone knows, that the S22 ultra will improve a lot with updates, as already improved in the last ones...

I agree with you, and the S21 Ultra is better in enough areas for me that I’d recommend it over the S22 Ultra. The situations in which the S21 Ultra’s camera is superior were typically in good lighting and on the main lens. That’s the number one use case for taking photos. So these issues I demonstrated are very significant. As I said in the video, I hope Samsung improves the camera over time. But right now, they haven’t. If that changes, I’ll probably change my opinion on the phone. This is just my view on the phones, you’re welcome to share a different one 👍🏼

@@insidetechltd Exactly, in my opinion for the day shots that I take with the main camera the S22U is more satisfactory, anyway I don't usually take pictures of buildings, only if I take pictures of someone and I have the building behind that person, but what interests me is how the person looks in the photo... The S21 ultra will stay at home, it will be for my daughter. It's not for sale 😂

That's fair enough! Shots of people generally turned out well so it sounds like this will work well for you 👊🏼

It's certainly not equivalent to physical RAM, that's for sure!

Oh really? I've seen some tests online that appear to show it reaching 1 Hz. Although it's definitely unlikely to spend much time that low under normal use

@@insidetechltd do u have that video? I would like. To see?

I haven’t seen video proof yet actually. But I was reading GSMArena’s review on the device and they noted frame rates dropping to 1 fps (though they also said 24 Hz was the lowest they saw). I just read the article again to check that’s where I saw it. So perhaps you’re right! I wonder if Samsung gets any substantial backlash for things like this

Understandable 👍🏼

I personally feel like most people have a compatible charger already, so I do agree with the environmental angle (even if Samsung's true motive is cost saving)

Me too 😔

All of them? Or just the smaller S22?

Heavier than what?

Nice 👌🏼

There's still a lot to like about the phone!
