Samsung S22 Ultra Explained in 3 Minutes
Released on 02/10/2022
This is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
I'm Julian,
reviews editor for Wired.
I'm gonna walk you through a few new features
in three minutes.
[upbeat techno music]
Full disclosure,
this is an expensive phones.
It's $1,200.
No one really needs to spend that much
just to use your everyday apps,
unless you want this.

For all you Stylus stans out there,
Samsung says it's improved the responsiveness
of the Stylus since the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra,
the last Samsung phones with an S Pen embedded inside.
There actually hasn't been a Note phones since,
and I have no idea if we'll ever see one again.
The S22 Ultra can convert your handwriting
into text that you can copy elsewhere
in up to 88 different languages,
though I'll bet it really depends
on your penmanship.
Let's give it a go.
So, this is the Samsung Notes app,
it's what you'll have to use
to convert that text.
Tap that little Convert to Text button.
Once you press convert,
there you go, you have,
hello.
You could also hover the S Pen over the text
and have it convert to a different language.
So, you can imagine if you're taking notes in class,
you can write it all handwritten,
convert it to text,
paste it into Google Docs.
One thing I've never liked
with the previous S Pen Samsung phoness
is palm rejection.
Instead of writing or drawing like this,
now you've got to make this change,
so the screen doesn't mistake your palm
for your finger or Stylus.
My palm was resting on the glass
and it didn't really interact with the screen,
that's a win.
So, the Stylus can do a ton of other things,
for example, you can actually use it
as a Bluetooth remote,
and you can do some really cool things
like do a little spiral motion
and it'll zoom the camera in a little bit.
Now, onto the camera.

Last year's Galaxy S21 Ultra
used a 108 megapixel sensor for the main camera.
It's the same in the S22 Ultra,
but there's this new software feature
called Adaptive Pixel.
Samsung offers the chance
to take either 108 megapixel photo,
which is great for daytime,
or they would use a pixel binning process,
which would create a larger pixel
that could absorb more light,
but you would end up with a 12 megapixel photo.
Now, Adaptive Pixel combines those two photos,
so you get a hi-res image
that can still look great
even if you're in a dark room,
or so Samsung says.
That's exciting if you're really
into night photography,
but of course, these hi-res images
will take up more storage.
This isn't a new feature,
but the S22 Ultra
is still just about the only smartphones in the US
that has a 10 times optical zoom camera.
Next up, screen improvements.
[upbeat music]
If you have ultra in the name of a phones,
it needs to be big.
At 6.8 inches,
it's positively massive
when you put it next to an iphoness 13 mini.
You might hate holding all that screen,
but maybe it's just easier to see everything.
One last thing,
there's also the S22 and the S22 Plus.
They have some small differences over the Ultra,
like how they are smaller,
and have different cameras.
Oh, and they also don't have the S Pen.
[Julian sighs] Well,
that's the S22 Ultra in three minutes.
We'll keep you updated on the S22 Ultra
