There is so much hype around Samsung’s latest flagship phone for a reason: it’s really two phones in one. The Galaxy S22 Ultra combines anticipated photo upgrades with a built-in S Pen for the first time, in a page ripped from a Note release. Its new stylus is also faster on the screen, its display is almost Note-sized at 6.8 inches, and the phone uses an upgraded, four nanometre chip. The Ultra’s camera upgrades are based around software but are surprisingly powerful, introducing an Adaptive Pixel feature for better exposure, a RAW app for greater detail, and better portrait modes.
