Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Review: Hello, my familiar friend!

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra inherits the iconic S Pen from the retired Galaxy Note range while still retaining the powerful cameras of the flagship Galaxy S line-up. If you've used a Note phone in the recent past then you know what to expect - from the rectangular shape to the squared-off corners and curved edges, this phone looks a lot like the Note 20 Ultra that was launched nearly two years ago. The design has been somewhat updated though, with the camera bump being banished in favour of individual lenses that are more flush with the back of the handset. Galaxy S22 Ultra flaunts a huge 6.8-inch WQHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with 120Hz Adaptive refresh rate. The display also gets a notable brightness upgrade with the S22 Ultra capable of reaching 1,750 nits in direct sunlight.
