I am alas STILL awaiting my S22u to replace my Galaxy Note 9. One of the reasons it was a horrible experience (among the dozens of others), no stylus. >The Pixel 6 Pro is $300 cheaper, and it's a better phoneĭear lord I hope not, the P6P was so bad I got rid of it after 2 months, horrible experience with a terrible phone. Apple is even worse, I can't go to something like FDroid. Crapware is fine, it's the stuff I can't delete that's annoying and I used nothing from Google on my P6P aside from the Playstore and Maps (OS aside of course.) You know, the kind of stuff MS was sued for all those years ago.
True enough and it's one of the reasons I got rid of my P6P, so there's no avoiding it unfortunately. >Tons of crapware, ads, and notification spam but who buys a car to do that ? who buys a Note to not use a stylus ? Seems like a supercilious con. This is like complaining about an engine weighing your car down because all you want from a car is to sit in the driveway and go vroom vroom. Peak Ron ? That's LITERALLY the entire point of a Note style phone. >The S-pen takes up a lot of battery space for people who don't want to write No Notification LED, no SD card slot, no 3.5mm jack as examples from the Note 9. No, they're going backwards, they peaked with the Note 9, removing features isn't standing still. Reports out of Korea say Samsung is already facing a preliminary investigation from the country's Fair Trade Commission over the feature, and S22 owners are gearing up to launch a class-action lawsuit. Samsung has promised to ship an "off" button for this throttling app at some point, but it has not arrived on our review unit yet. Unsurprisingly, Samsung has managed to exclude every major benchmark app from its throttling scheme, which, according to Geekbench, makes this a cheating offense worthy of de-listing from its benchmark charts. We're still not sure what's going on with Samsung's decision to throttle thousands of games and apps through its "Game Optimizing Service." Samsung's throttling app contains a list of 10,000 apps and games that can have their CPU performance reduced by as much as 46 percent, and Samsung is controlling this all remotely via the cloud. Samsung announced the S21 and S21+ display with dynamic refresh rates from 10 Hz to 120 Hz, and then a week later (after taking preorders), Samsung quietly changed the spec sheets to read "48 Hz to 120 Hz." Samsung markets the S22+ and S22 Ultra as having "45 W" fast charging, but the devices don't actually charge any faster than last year's 25 W models. The S22 line has been plagued with controversies since its launch. Of course, Samsung's big advantage is that most people don't have the option to buy a Google phone because Google's small, underfunded hardware division only sells phones in about 13 countries, while Samsung is in 100+. There certainly is not $300 worth of difference between the two devices, and if you're in the market for an Android flagship and have the option to buy a Pixel 6 Pro instead of the S22, you should. You'd be hard-pressed to find a single thing the $1,200 S22 Ultra does better than the $900 Pixel 6 Pro. All of these prices seem way too high in the face of Google's excellent Pixel 6. The prices are all the same as last year: $800, $1,000, and $1,200, depending on where you are in the size range. The S22+ and S22 Ultra are marketed as having 45 W fast charging, but they don't actually charge faster than last year's models. The S22 and S22+ are both thinner and lose 300 mAh of battery capacity. The top-end S22 Ultra configuration has less RAM this year, down to 12GB from 16GB. Other than that, it's hard to credit Samsung with year-over-year spec growth. The biggest change is the SoC performance bumps in both the Exynos (international) and Snapdragon (US). The Ultra is a Galaxy Note with a Note-style design, while the S22 and S22+ share a design that looks just like the S21 from last year. We're reviewing the S22 Ultra, but first, let's talk about the lineup as a whole. Wireless charging, in-screen fingerprint sensor.
Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, or Exynos 2200, both 4 nm Look at the Galaxy Note 10 from 2019 and you'll see that Samsung has essentially been recycling its design for three years now. It feels like Samsung is standing still, as if the plan is to have slab phones slowly ride off into the sunset while the company directs resources toward a future in foldables. After killing the Galaxy Note line and skipping a 2021 release, Samsung is merging the S-Pen-equipped Note line and the Galaxy S line, cutting the slab phone flagships down to a single yearly release. Samsung's launch of the Galaxy S22 feels like a retirement plan for the company's slab line. Is there anything left to do in the slab phone market?
