**** The Official Samsung Galaxy S22 Family Thread ****

Looks like I'm one of the few without an issue so far. Fast charging however I'm not sure about as I dont use one and use a 5w charger at overnight ...
Skin arrived this morning and have installed, was pretty easy but had to get the hair dryer out for the curved edges to bond.

My annual Disney runs out on the 28th Feb, do I cancel my sub so it doesn't auto renew and then enter a code?

If you try and redeem it to an active account it will tell you it can't be used - you can get the code however and use it when your existing sub runs out (you've got until April to actually use the code if memory serves?)

What make of skin have you applied?
 
The most detailed real world review so far. Great review.


That statue of liberty zoom tho...


This is a good phone no doubt. I'm much more impressed with it than I was the S21U.

Yes. Just watched the Exynos vs snapdragon video posted here earlier and am pretty shocked to see the difference in video quality and stabilisation.

Though I will wait to the techchap does his comparison review, his reviews I can trust more.

Doesn't surprise me with the improvement made to SD Gen 1
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1’s new ISP brings comes in the form of improved color depth. According to Qualcomm, Snapdragon Sight is capable of processing 18-bit colors. This means the new ISP can capture 16 times more colors as compared to 14-bit processing on the Snapdragon 888’s Spectra ISP. For users, this means smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will capture more realistic colors, wider HDR, and reduced noise in the images.

In addition, night photography is touted to improve significantly with the new ISP. To capture better details at night, smartphones capture multiple images at different exposure levels at night and superimpose them. With Snapdragon Gen 1, this image stacking can use up to 30 images for better details and brighter shots. As per Qualcomm, the ISP can process five times (5x) better images in the night mode as compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

Snapdragon Sight uses neural networks for better auto-focus, auto-exposure, and auto-white balance. Qualcomm notes all the machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (A.I.) processing happens right on the ISP instead of being offloaded to another part of the chipset. Furthermore, the ISP now features a hardware engine for bokeh, meaning portrait images and videos will be much more refined. In fact, phones with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 are capable of portrait videos at up to 4K resolution, which is comparable to the highly-appreciated Cinematic mode on the iPhone 13 series.

Lastly, Qualcomm says phones driven by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 will be able to capture 8K video with HDR while also being able to capture 64MP shots simultaneously.

Compared to Exynos 2200
the list of improvements brought about by Exynos 2200’s ISP is relatively small. First of all, Samsung claims the new ISP supports image capturing at up to 200MP (even though the Galaxy S22 Ultra only features a 108MP primary camera). It can shoot videos at up 8K resolution and 30 frames per second (fps) and 4K videos at up to 120fps with HDR10+.

Samsung also claims Exynos 2200’s ISP can process signals from four cameras simultaneously. It can use A.I. to optimize parameters for better colors, auto-white balance, auto-exposure, and HDR.

Talking of color depth, Samsung says the Galaxy S22 Ultra supports image processing with 16-bit colors

Like that colour
 
my S22U 512gb gone back , spoke to Samsung online returns who were persuading me to keep it and they will give me another 10% off. I said No. Then they asked me will you take a S22+ , I said No it has smaller battery than my current S21+ , finally they allowed me to do the return. Things must be desperate at Samsung now :(

My missus got the Ultra, its a big phone isn't it lol

Regarding the fast charging, do you have to have the genuine 45w charger? I've got a 60w PD USB-C Charger and charging seems very slow.

I've used a generic 45W charger from Curry's and it shows "fast charging" (not "super fast"). It charged at a decent rate though. Not as quick as my P30 Pro with the included charger, but a similar speed to that when using a generic one
