Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra review

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - and that's no bad thing.

When Samsung revealed the new Galaxy S22 range, it was largely business as usual – for the Galaxy S22 and S22+, anyway. The Galaxy S22 Ultra, on the other hand, offers a much more radical change that brings it closer than ever to the Galaxy Note range, with a redesigned chassis and a built-in S Pen.

The question is, does the spiritual successor to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra offer enough to tempt users, especially at such a high price point? While it’s not the perfect smartphone, there’s a lot to love about Samsung’s top-end Galaxy S22 Ultra in 2022.

Design & Build

Galaxy Note design language

Slick, premium build

Slightly curved frame is nice in the hand

Compared to Galaxy smartphones before it, some might say the Galaxy S22 Ultra looks a bit simplistic – but I think simplicity looks great on a smartphone. We don’t all need in-your-face designs, refractive glass patterns, or big, bright flashy logos, especially on such a premium bit of kit.

When it comes to the S22 Ultra, less is certainly more, with a slick blend of metal and glass that does most of the talking.

The most notable difference compared to the rest of the S22 line is the lack of a camera ‘island’ surrounding the rear-facing cameras. While it does alienate the S22 Ultra among the rest of the range, it ties in with the minimalist design, with small details like polished metal housing around the cameras contributing to the high-end look.
