Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G

Traditional Note design with modern premium touches - big display, boxy shape, curved edges, unique camera styling.

S Pen eats up internal volume and adds weight, which isn't ideal if you're in for the S Ultra and not the Note Ultra.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra may not have 'Note' in its name, but deep inside we know it is one, probably the last of its kind. From our Note-loving hearts and level reviewer heads alike, it's an easy recommendation.

S Pen is convenient and highly accurate Versatile camera takes great photos The latest processor for power Long software support Beautiful high refresh rate screen

Not very fast battery charging Large and heavy

“The Galaxy S22 Ultra is astonishingly capable in almost all aspects, from camera to productivity, and you probably won't need to consider upgrading for years.”

S Pen integration ; Long battery life ; Bright screen ; Excellent reception in low-signal environments

Very large ; Expensive ; Back scratches easily ; Few camera improvements over predecessor

The S22 Ultra is the true successor to the Galaxy Note line, delivering all the excellent Samsung phone features while making no concessions for size, weight, or price.

Some may not need all of those features or fantastic cameras. Other less expensive options aren’t going to compete head-to-head with S22 Ultra, but many mid-range phones offer good enough features at lower prices.
