On February 9th, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S22 Ultra alongside the Galaxy S22, S22 Plus, and the Galaxy Tab S8 lineup. Apart from hardware upgrades, this new flagship integrates the S Pen and a dedicated slot, reminiscent of the beloved Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Let's compare the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra and the Galaxy S22 Ultra to discern the differences between these two versions.

Both smartphones sport a squared-off, monolithic design, with metal frames, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. They resist fingerprint smudges and dust accumulation while being waterproof, ensuring no worries under rainy conditions.

Even ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, Bluetooth LE-enabled S Pen, and AKG-tuned stereo speakers are present on both of these premium smartphones.

Both devices are conveniently equipped with a built-in S Pen slot, catering to fans of the Galaxy Note series who can't overlook the convenience of these handy stylus-equipped smartphones for writing, drawing, note-taking, and quick touch operations without worrying about screen smudges.

Let me spill the beans for you: the S22 Ultra takes a slight lead with its brand-new S Pen boasting a latency of just 2.8 ms, offering three times faster and more responsive operations compared to previous S Pen iterations.

A blockbuster set to launch in early 2023, a powerful upgrade of the latest Android operating system integrated with the Samsung Glaxy S 2023 series including versions: Samsung S23, Galaxy S23 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S23 Plus. Let's see what new features this flagship phone has in addition to the operating system!

While the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra already boasted impressive camera specs, the Galaxy S22 Ultra goes even further. The camera setup with resolutions of 108 MP + 12 MP + 12 MP on the Note 20 Ultra already produced stunning photos.

Under adequate lighting conditions, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra still captures stunning photos with vibrant colors, vivid imagery, and high contrast.

One of the crucial factors of a photograph is the level of detail, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra excels in this aspect. If you wish to capture intricate scenes with abundant details, rest assured, the Note 20 Ultra can handle it smoother than you think!

• How does Galaxy Note 20 Ultra bring forth dazzling images?

The camera specifications on the S22 Ultra will outshine the Note 20 Ultra, with a 40 MP selfie camera instead of 10 MP, and a rear camera setup consisting of 108 MP + 12 MP + 10 MP + 10 MP sensors, delivering exceptional photo quality.

But the major advantage of this smartphone is that all four rear cameras are equipped with optical image stabilization. The Galaxy S22 Ultra will help stabilize frames, minimizing blurriness and smudges when taking photos or recording videos.

If you're looking for a phone with great photo quality, both excel with sharp images and excellent brightness. But if you want even better portrait shots, the S22 Ultra is the way to go.
