His review style is unique and somewhat different from other normal reviewers, which I'd appreciate a lot. Samsung S22 Ultra could be the best phone until Samsung launches its foldable phones later this year. By the way, Maru also means "floor" in Korean.
The spen keeping people in the eco system is 100% true. After my first note phone (note 3) there was no going back. Used notes every since. Bought a non note one time because I didn't want to buy the note from the previous year and the note 7 it was I believe was discontinued due to the grenade effect lol. I hated every second of not having an spen. Was so happy to go back to an spen, got myself a note first chance. Last year it was time to upgrade. But because there was no note (which was terrifying, for a moment I worried Samsung was getting rid of the note line) I didn't want to upgrade. I literally didn't want any phone.

If I wanted the latest and greatest note this was it. I'm SUPER excited to get mine. Yesterday j also found out its going going be delivered early. Which is fantastic news since I thought it would be delivered late.. since 25 js on Friday I figured it would be delivered between 02/28 and 03/04. Just a few more days ! ONCE YOU GO NOTE, .. I can't think of a word that rhymes with note and fits but you get the drift. There is no going back. Nothing compares. No alternative exists. Aside from the spen one UI is also far superior to any other android UI even far superior to stock. Stock android copies half its features from Samsung lol. To all my fellow note people whether you buy the s22 ultra or not. May you enjoy your note and have a brilliant day
Haha i guess i the only one with note 9 and s20 ultra 1 with pen 1 no pen. Still i no plan 2 upgrade as long as my thrusty 9 still alive after 4 years of abuse.
Thank You! Watched a ton of S22 Ultra reviews and you my friend are the only one so far to do most of your review 'actually' using the phone for the video. It's what all reviewer should be doing to demonstrate what we might be buying and what we can expect in video quality. Well done. Subscribed!
Love the outtakes…. Get content… so unique… love the on location and “come with” format….Such a refreshing take on the usual in-studio comparison reviews… Please, stay safe.
Love these Real World videos - the phone review is incidental. It always amuses me that whatever flagship you're testing if you have any generation of Pixel for photo comparison it usually looks as good if not better than the subject of the review.
Never get tired of saying that you're one of the best tech reviewers out there! Love these videos as they are truly what people want to see. Keep doing this great job!
The first and only review I have come across on RUclips that has explained the multiple uses of the s pen properly ! Being able to take photos hands free with the pen and switch between camera modes is amazing
Big fan of your style and the way you format videos. The only thing missing... Is you giving more of your overall thoughts on these devices. Your videos are great. They're fun and interesting. But... Viewers aren't really getting a "review". I know they/we can get "normal" reviews elsewhere. I just think you sharing some of your personal thoughts in each section regarding screen, battery, cameras, performance, etc... Would really put your videos over the top. Just my thoughts.
There is definitely in increase in detail in the S22U compared to the S21U. This is especially noticable in intricate textures that in the past would get smoothed out. The normal S22 has this same benefit to its 2021 counterpart. Good improvement there from Samsung.
@@Mike-t5r9q I read it is marginally worse than the S21 Ultra, which is sort of disappointing when Samsung themselves said there would be a big improvement. Then again they have added space for a pen onboard which also needs to be charged by the phone.
@@xGeoThumbs Such a shame because i really wanted this phone too but I'm not spending that kinda money on mediocre battery life and my S20 Ultra has better battery life lol makes no sense to me its a complete downgrade in battery which it should be the other way around. I rather of them put a bigger battery and ditch spen since us S users never cared about it. They should of just made a case for it for the people that want the spen
@@Mike-t5r9q Sure it's technically lower than the s21, but people fail to acknowledge the higher peak brightness and better processor that leads to this. At the end of the day, how is 8-9 hours of heavy use not good enough for most people? Like realistically I doubt people will not need to charge the phone multiple times in a day. Another thing is that the phone charges very fast, It gets to 50% in 20 minutes. Again, realistically how is this marginal difference a real problem? I do agree with you on the fact that it's kind of weird that the battery life went down, even if it is only by 30 mins compared to the s21 ultra. One last thing, I think it's a good idea that they mixed the Note and S series as previously they had to focus on 2 phones, now just one.
Love to see bloopers at the end, the format of the video with the mini history lessons, and the great photography on top and good comparisons as well! subbed!!
New viewer (now sub) here, really great review. I love your format! The only thing I was waiting for was a little more elaboration on the battery dying which caught my attention. I'm one of those Note users you mentioned that is now converting to the Ultra from a Note 10+ and I couldn't be more excited.
I look forward to every one of your videos because of just how interesting it is learning something new as opposed to fairly similar reviews that are the usual norm. Love the content, keep up the work!
Great video and love the format! Learned about the phone and LA 😁 One recommendation - perhaps leave the comparison pics on screen a bit longer? They seem to fly right by not leaving much time to take all 4 shots in.
@@robocoppok641 yes, I did that but sometimes the shot flies by so quickly I have to rewind then pause. Huge deal, not at all ... Like I said, it was a RECOMMENDATION
Don't forget that this phone just came out and just like every other phone it will get some really major updates which will improve the phones performance which will also increase the battery life
Phone learn usage patterns to increase battery over time. Something you can't really show in a video when you only have the phone a few days. That plus updates will surely increase battery over time
@NamelessXsilent I guess so my results didn't improve after a couple weeks with my Fold 3. What you see is what you get. It said still learning on my phone. Then after it was the same.
First time watching this channel. One of the last videos I've now watched on it after watching all the usual channels and have really enjoyed the content
Your videos are honestly amazing! I've met you through the iPhone 13 Real-World Test and now I think these are the only reviews anyone could need on a smartphone, keep up the great work!
I'm being honest right now. As soon as Samsung announced the new phone. My first thought was that I can't wait to see the real-world test on it. Love your stuff
Love these videos, especially when you give historical facts about the area you are exploring. My only two suggestions would be to 1) vlog with the phone the whole video, for easier comparison with your other videos and future videos. 2) give a opinion or comparison with other phones at the end, doesn’t have to be in depth, could just be a “rankings.” After watching many of your videos, I’d love to hear your thoughts on these phones. Especially in the photography, videography, and battery life which you share your shots and screenshots of. Keep up the great work and thank you for the entertainment!
Finally. I've been waiting for days for this video! Thinking of upgrading from the S20 plus since the battery of this phone is getting worse by the month
Just got mine 2 days ago, been loving it. And, finally the snapdragon variant is available in the Philippines. I have been using the exynos versions prior, and I'm loving the snapdragon SOC.
Another great video in the books! I really enjoy your reviews and the layout used to make them. You have one of the better "Day in the life" style videos out There. Also enjoy the "hood" walks. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one!
The Note was always a Galaxy S with booster Specs (maybe in resolutions and camera) Spen and Spen features, the Note 22 was just rebranded as S22 Ultra and only one size, easy for the consumer, the right move was made.
Love your real world tests! The information you incorporate is great, specially for someone who doesn't live there! It's really interesting! Thanks! I'd love to watch a real world test from Argentina, my country! Maybe someday 🤞🏼❤
What a wonderful man & a new 'hood! Good to see you out & about David! LA sun helps the photography too doesn't it? 😎 I have Note20 + S21 already (trying to keep up with you!) so don't see enough reason to "upgrade" to S22 Ultra this time round. Especially because Michael Fisher' s mate Cogen did a splendid review of the iPhone 13 Pro recently, which I watched several times and enjoyed so much, I bought the thing! Arrived Saturday & still trying it out, as a replacement for an ageing 6+! Will now wait to see what Fold 4 brings & whether a pen silo appears. Meanwhile, keep 'em coming! Look forward to the next hood trip 😉
All the updates have improved the battery. W all settings maxxed out, I get about 8.5g SOT and usage. W power saving on, location and sync off, it gets to about 12h.
David, another great real road test. Looked beautiful in LA, and Los Feliz. Shout out to Maru, Atrium, both looked excellent. The battery life seemed a little less than I was expecting. I agree with many of the comments, you need to more of these real-world test on the road. Another shout out to Jaime, TK. Safe Travels.
Tried my shot to get to a chance to work with you almost a decade ago now. Sad I missed out, but these video are really superb. Keep up the awesome work David!
Always enjoy watching Unlockr vids, it's fun to see new places - even if I'll probably never get to visit them - along with some sexy new tech and David's engaging presentation style.
I'm hoping that a major software update comes and fixes the battery drain issue....cause that's just bad at 1200$ The cameras the screen everything is good just the battery and it's durability is a major flag
Lol I feel your pain at the end of the video. I live in the city on a first floor apartment and film videos as well, it's difficult to escape the sirens 😫
I was born and raised in LA. I then moved with my family to New York in August of 2020. Miss LA so much! Anyways, I pronounce “Los Feliz” as “Los Fei-les.” (Other LA locals obviously pronounce it slightly differently.)
Finally a tech reviewer that says what i been saying. The people who were s ultra users dont mind having a note, but note fans would not like the s ultra series if the note were gone. This way killing off the s ultra model was smart. You cant go wrong with having the note instedt of the s ultra .
good review but the battery life you have to remember that its still learning his usage patterns. with some tweaks you can easily squeeze out 8+ hours SOT from this phone.
His review style is unique and somewhat different from other normal reviewers, which I'd appreciate a lot. Samsung S22 Ultra could be the best phone until Samsung launches its foldable phones later this year. By the way, Maru also means "floor" in Korean.
You're not wrong...
In India, in hindi, maru means, "asking someone if one can hit a person or not"
This has been my most favorite review. Real life practical usage, a very beautiful tour while still comparing the other top end smartphones. Awesome!
Thank you!
The sheer amount of effort that goes into creating these kind of videos is admirable. He makes phone reviews fun.
💯
I like his reviews and his reviews of the places he visits. It does make my back hurt, watching him bend over to give his commentary.
Another worth mentioning Mr Mobile haha

Really liked your review and how you integrated your day with the phone review... thumbs up and subscribed! Keep it up!

Always enjoy watching Unlockr vids, it's fun to see new places - even if I'll probably never get to visit them - along with some sexy new tech and David's engaging presentation style.
Another great review David. Well done!
Thx. Another great video, man.
Thank you, this is the most helpful video I've watched.
Very nice video! The fact that it is a note form factor makes it worthy of the ultra name more.
That 10x night mode shot on the Ultra is siiiiick! Wow! 8:34 pause quick
your videos are very good thank you greetings from PR
Another on the go travel guide review from the best in this field! I appreciate your effort and energy!
Just picked this up in 512gb Sky Blue! Should be getting delivered on Monday!
Always awesome videos from this guy ^ ... Thank you David.
Wow, hopefully to have one someday
The funniest part of this video was the UPS box within the FedEx box lol
Always an interesting, well thought out and filmed video. Keep up the great work.
Nice way of review, you are something special about others, keep it up 👍
Thank u for video awesome 👌 I'm always waiting for your review 😊 💜 😉
