The BEST Flagship by far, beats 2023's 1TB SD card
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.The phone runs any app and never lags behind in any video recording, though I never use 8K and would prefer if I could set everything to 12MP. The 1TB internal has been impossible so far to fill, I have most of the poplar apps from Google Play + 100GB+ of music and I plan to add 100 more when I get it. Samsung needs to get away from SD cards, transferring apps back and forth is a pain in the butt. My S8+ rocked a lot of apps but transferring things back and forth was too annoying after updates especially. The battery does last all day but if you're not careful with it and its settings you can get quite a fast drain. I've been with Samsung since the Tab S, I have it hacked, but this phone I don't plan on breaking anytime soon. I paired this with T-Mobile and the Watch4 free and the combo is unstoppable and encourages my health. I highly recommend this phone for all gamers and tech wizards, or those that want simply a powerful phone. We are inches away from decent PC gaming on a phone, besides just streaming it from a server. The emulation of anything is perfect. Samsung is the leader in Android phones, join the crew.

Great Upgrade from S20 Ultra
||Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I wanted to wait a few weeks before writing a review of the Galaxy S22 Ultra (1TB). So far, I'm extremely pleased with my purchase and have no regrets whatsoever by upgrading from an S20 Ultra. OK, so you might have read about the concerns over the battery life on the S22 Ultra. Admittedly, I was nervous about that too. However, now that I've had the phone for a few weeks and it has had time to learn my usage patterns, I can honestly say that at the end of my day, I still have plenty of battery life remaining. (Typically in the 80 percentile range after 16 hours.) Of course, that's based on *my* typical usage which may be very different than yours. I text a lot, send/receive both personal and corporate e-mails, participate in occasional Teams video conferences, take photos once in a while, and then perhaps a card game or two in the evening. I'm not a heavy gamer (on my phone), nor do watch movies on it. My phone is clearly my mobile device for use when I'm away from my PC … so take that into consideration. As far as CPU performance goes, it's clearly faster at the tasks I typically perform than the S20 Ultra. I have my display set for WQHD+ (1440P) with Adaptive motion smoothness (1Hz up to 120Hz) and everything from scrolling to launching apps is incredibly smooth. Of course, the overall quality of the display is stunning … the best I've seen. Regarding WIFI, I have a Netgear WIFI 6 router and my S20 Ultra connection to it (from one room over) was typically between 600 and 700 Mbps (not bad). With the S22 Ultra, I'm now getting a consistent link speed (from the same location and with no changes to the router) of 1.4Gbps and occasionally up to 1.7Gbps. That's a substantial improvement., Finally .. the Camera! Again, I really can compare it only to what I've been using over the past couple of years (the S20 Ultra). Definitely an improvement! Faster auto-focusing, a bit better clarity on zoom photos, and much better night photos. Image stabilization is excellent too. Other than those things, the camera experience is about the same as what I've been used to. I didn't mention the S-Pen simply because I really don't use it. Yes, it's fun to play around with, but I'm not apt to use it very much. Overall, I'm very happy with the S22 Ultra. I've been an Android user for many years, and I'm happy to stay where I am.

Q: Questionwhat is the purpose of a phone that supports dual sim cards? What does this allow the user?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 1. Use one device for personal and work number 2. International travel made easy. Let's say use eSim for a home network and nano sim to use the local sim of the place you travel to. Usually much cheaper than roaming charges. 3. Some areas have bad coverage, if you move a lot, work or pleasure, having 2 different providers will improve that. 4. Just have 2 lines for whatever purpose you may require.
