Is. They include a large central sensor for better low-light images, AI-powered portrait mode, and a new super-clear lens.

Samsung, on the other hand, is demanding a hefty sum ($ 1,199) for a phone that now comes with less RAM than before, and the S22 Ultra costs $ 100- $ 300 more than its main competitors.

Based on my tests, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is the best Android phone that can be bought with money, if not the best phone overall.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra design

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is simple but impressive at the same time. I appreciate the sharp, square angles, and I also like that the cameras aren't pitted. They are more flush than the back of the phone. The overall look is very good.

Another plus: the 6.8-inch screen has a smooth curve, so it adds some aesthetic appeal without accidentally pressing down on the screen. My only complaint is that sometimes typing words or moving the cursor to the far left or right of the screen can be a challenge. Despite having a slightly larger screen than the 6.7-inch iPhone 13 Pro Max, the S22 Ultra is lighter at 8.07 ounces than 8.5 ounces for Apple's phone.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra feels solid and durable, and it should, as it is reinforced with an armored aluminum frame and gorilla glass Victus + back. However, we need to see how well this phone survives the drop test.
