 So the Galaxy Note 9 has always been one that's brought new innovation year after year, moving with each different note. And of course the S Pen has been the constant across the board. Now the S21 Ultra is in the Note, but it supports an S Pen as well as a Z Fold 3. But fear not, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is right here. Now this device basically is a Galaxy Note. There's a reason why I'm making that mistake because it embodies everything the Note has from the design to feel. But I can tell you what I use this device for from a day to day basis. I use it to take notes, capture content, watch content, and play games. Which means I'm doing a lot of work constantly on this device. So let's start off with of course taking notes and capturing content. That's one of the things that I really love about the Galaxy S22 Ultra. It's got the S Pen. Now the S Pen is a simple and effective tool. Yes, I can take notes and trust me I have a ton of notes on this device. What is just writing simple phone numbers, you know, quick notes, or even taking notes down while I'm at a meeting or a Webex call with a client. It does the job and I can also type it out. It may sound like something that you can do on any device, but trust me having the pen that's this precise to showcase my terrible handwriting does the job fantastically. But the other aspect also is when I am creating content, right? So we went out into the city, grabbed some coffee, looked at some content for a little bit, and decided to just walk around and take some photos within the city. Now the cameras are solid and I don't want to get too much into the cameras but honestly check out my camera comparisons with, you know, the iPhone as well as also the Exynos version. There's so much camera samples there in those videos. But capturing content around the city was really unique because I could use my S Pen as a remote clicker. That's something a lot of people don't necessarily know about it, but I think it's truly amazing. You don't have to wave your hand, you don't have to ask anyone if you're by yourself and you don't want to disturb anyone. You place your phone down, position, and start snapping and take poses. Now, I apologize, most of my images look kind of crooked but that's just my fault, but you get the idea there that you can actually do that here. And of course you've got tons of different camera modes. One of them of course is, you know, portrait video. Now this time we're using ColorPoint which came out spectacularly well here but it's got a downside to it, right? I'm recording outside, Daniel's helping me record and you can't really hear what I'm saying because there's so much wind and noise. Now imagine if the S Pen had a built-in microphone in there, that will actually be pretty cool because I can clip it or put it in my shirt and you get better audio. Now that's not just my idea. This was my friend Jonathan Casey. He brought this up, so a big shout out to him. Go check out his channel, it's got some good stuff. But that is something that can add more flexibility to this device and that's why I'm really excited about it because there's more that can be done with the S Pen and already it's hit a great peak that I truly like, right? So capturing content, I can do that quite well with this device and it does a really good job. The cameras are solid enough for daytime photos, nighttime photos, capturing videos, creating TikToks, all that kind of fun stuff with this on a regular basis. But now of course, what about consuming content? Consuming content is something we all do and I do that quite a lot myself. Now you're wondering, okay fine, does this make the S22 Ultra special? Yes and no. Well, you've got a larger display, but not just a larger. It is a bright, vibrant display, right? Allowing you to watch those TikTok videos to fullest capacity and you watch them, tons of them, or you know, watching Instagram reels, even if you're doing more than just watching and multitasking. Yes, I said multitasking because that's the feature that Samsung spearheaded years ago and I'm not talking about just going from one app to the other. I'm talking about having a multitask split screen, being able to have Twitter on top and maybe YouTube below, being able to do more with the device and having such a bright sharp display if I'm doing this outdoors, these at home, or just looking at the images that I just took make a lot of sense. Now, there's more to consuming content than just the display. There's also the speakers and yeah, look, Samsung has done a really good job in the past with your speakers. Having Dolby Atmos is a great thing, but I will have to say though, especially when I did my speaker test, I felt a little bit let down by the quality of audio I was getting from the Galaxy S22 Ultra this year in comparison to what I've had in the past and that also goes to with Bluetooth audio, but before I go ahead and some of you might think, maybe Thunder Ease does trip in. Let's take a quick listen here to audio of the device. Okay, it's not bad. It's good, but it could be better and you guys have seen my speaker comparison. If you haven't, go watch it, but this brings us to our sponsor of this video, Qualcomm with Snapdragon Sound. The reason I like Snapdragon Sound, and I think it's very important, it's not just because they are sponsoring the video. Look, yes, that's really cool, but it's because I like good audio. Guys, I've got a headphone wall. I would rather have a wired audio experience, but we've moved away from that and having quality audio through Bluetooth connectivity is really important. And that's what Snapdragon Sound brings to the table, brings premium audio, brings lossless audio, which means I can have the same quality as those headphones over there, and also brings instability in terms of stability of connections and all the different codecs you expect like Aptex, Aptex HD, and also stability when you're also gaming and listening to audio off your gaming headset. So whether you're using, you know, these like Snapdragon Sound headphones or any compatible headphones, it would be great to see that technology in the Galaxy S22 Ultra. And honestly, Samsung, I'm asking you to do this because I think this will make the experience better. It will bolster what we actually are doing with Dolby Atmos. And we'll make the listening experience one that you can definitely sit down and enjoy, and of course, just drink some coffee with it. So I want to see Snapdragon Sound with this device. But look, besides that, right? The audio experience is good, but how does that relate to one of the best things that I do like to do on any device, which is gaming. All right. So gaming is something that's really important to me, and a lot of people who have smartphones that of course, at this caliber. Now, the gaming experience here is of two folds. And I mentioned two folds because there's an Exynos variant. And look, I've covered a lot of that in my Exynos versus Snapdragon. Definitely go check out that video. But the one thing I will say is that a lot of games just need updates. So I will give it that space for updates to happen. But definitely go check out those videos. Now, what about my own gaming experience the last two months using the S22 Ultra Snapdragon variant? Well, it's been absolutely solid. I mean, across the board has been solid. Every game has functioned well. I even just played Genshin Impact recently just to see if there's been a better improvement because you know how that game can be just tasking on a lot of systems. And it's gone a little bit better. I start off in the first 15 minutes, it's running at 60 frames per second. Then after that, it kind of drops down to about 5051. So that's kind of the range I've been with gaming on this device. Then you're wondering, okay, if you're game that much, if you are using its great content, if you are consuming content, what's your battery life like with this device? Well, I'll put this this way. I am a power user. I'll put it that way. I use this by heavily on a day to day basis. And I took a look at my screen on time. Granted, I don't like the start of screen on time. And my average came down to roughly six hours. You can check. It was like four hours, 52 here, six, six, you get the idea. So six hours of battery life, six hours of screen on time with this device is quite interesting. I will say that my device lasts from nine to around five PM. If I have it at QHD and then it lasts about nine PM. If I have it at 1080p. So take it whichever way you will. But I use this device quite a bit. I will just say that I would like to see better improvements with the way Samsung handles its battery management. So I can actually use this device for longer periods of time. And honestly, 45 more charging Samsung. Come on. You guys started this. People have 120. Please. But anyway, look, that's beside the point. The S22 Ultra as a device is one that I am very happy for. I am a note user. I started with the very first Galaxy Note when people thought a device with a five inch display was massive. I think 5.5. I could be wrong with the exact numbers. I remember the articles then and now everyone has a big phone. The difference is this phone with its size has a lot of functionality built into it. And note users are happy. And if you're asking me the question, should I make that switch from my previous note, whichever version you have? The answer is yes. Yes, there are things they need to improve. But honestly, Samsung has brought the Galaxy Note line into the S22 line or the S line in general. And it's made it something worth picking up. So I'm going to leave it there for you guys that hopefully you enjoyed my rambling and my approach here because Daniel didn't. He made me record this five more times. Yeah, exactly. Right. Just to get it right. But anyway, thank you very much guys and enjoy your entertainment and catch us on the next video.
