Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra/Note 22 Ultra

[koigirl]

Just a tiny FYI, I just canceled my Samsung vac order, which was backordered anyway. I don’t know why, probably because I’m just so exhausted these days, but it only just occurred to me the cleaning station uses bags. Derp. I went to check on the prices of bags for similar versions of its other cleaning stations. My eyes watered. lol. I’m just going to stick to my $29 corded stick vac. Sigh. For a vac it was gorgeous but those recurring costs are what bite you in the butt and since Covid such costs have skyrocketed. This was a luxury not a necessity so…canceled. Maybe next year.

As for my S22 Ultra…it traveled well in my backpack pocket with the new Spigen case that protects the camera. My Pixel 6 Pro has been making that trip and did fine even without a screen protector. I’m glad my Ultra can do the same.

I’m just bummed the case hides the green. I am happy Apple came out with dark green phones, too. I think I prefer the Samsung green though. But they’re all pretty to me.

Yes i use Miele canister vacs and bags/filters are hella expensive! For a stick vac, I have a Dyson V7 that i think I paid about $275 3-4 years ago on a Costco sale that works pretty well for quick cleans on rugs, bare floors, and staircases. You might try that - it’s bagless. Battery isn’t great on any of these stick vacs though.

Also, I dropped in Best Buy yesterday to check out 22U as I wait. Really liked everything about it and it seems easier to handle, even with security dongles, than my 13 PM. I do prefer Samsung’s green to the two new army green shades from Apple although all 3 are nice.

Still waiting on my 22U - my husband got shipping notice on his today!

I've got two of the "cheaper" Miele canisters. One is now used in the garage because it got kind of loose and I noticed dust was all over the inside of it all the time now, like the bag isn't fitting securely anymore. I have so many vacuums. After that happened to my Miele I decided to get some cheap vacuums. They work okay. I haven't really found the holy grail of vacuums yet. I truly believe they just dont make them that well anymore.

I have a Dyson V7 but I ended up buying a high end Shark corded off Facebook for like 50 bucks that sells for almost 400 new. I will never go back to a cordless vacuum

Nice I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it...

A standard S22 or a S22+?

I’m going to have to look into it some more (especially the battery life concerns), but probably the standard S22, so that I have something about the size of my current iPhone. I don’t think the plus solves the size issues for me unfortunately

You need one of these to go with your 22U

Comfort is important..my buds live are better than the buds2 for comfort long term usage .....I've been debating adding pros to mix ...I use them all plenty ...

Unbelievable.

I got another email notifying me that my day one pre-order was pushed back again.

I am cancelling on principal.

I prefer the shape of my s21 ultra anyway.

Oh man sorry to hear it .. what did you order originally?

Burgundy 256 GB TMobile. People with the custom colors, mostly all have their phones at this point.

Ordered an hour after unpacked, and I had "pre-reserved" my phone.

They pushed my delivery date back a month, after commiting to getting it to me on launch day. Then in the email today, it seemed that the 3/25 date wasn't in stone either.

All of the accessories from the promo were also going to be close to 2 months from launch day, at last check before I canceled.


They honestly did me a favor. I really like the rounded corners on my s21 ultra, so I'm not sure if this was actually an upgrade for me.

Hopefully I can return all of these s22 ultra cases to Amazon

Well I guess it wasn't meant to be unfortunately...really frustrating for sure ...smh

Yeah, I use my Buds Pro in tandem with my Fold and GW. I can have my Fold in my sleeve and control playback via the GW.

But I’m curious about this Google Duo Live Sharing feature thats on OneUI 4.1… at this point its only on S22 Ultra devices. But is it at all possible to use Google Duo Live Sharing on S22 Ultra and share a YT video with an iPhone user? Or is it like SharePlay for Apple whereas its only for OneUI 4.1 devices?

Outside of the spen integration, it’s pretty much the same device. So this may have done you a favor.

And the display is more rectangular lol. Honestly, if the lens on my S21 Ultra hadn't had some weird crack or scratch on the inside like it did, I'd still be on that phone, myself. My husband still has his.

WOW I can not believe how badly @Mellofello808 got messed over by the pre-order process. Usually that's me it happens to. It happened with one of the Notes a few years ago and then my Flamingo Pink S10+, I think it was.

I haven't been doing a whole lot on my Pixel 6 Pro lately so that's why i havent posted much about that phone. I'm bouncing between my s22 Ultra and my iPhone 11. We finally got my mom settled down the street from me in assisted living and she's constantly having me making lists of things she needs to get settled in. I need that S Pen. Samsung did such a nice job updating the S Pen. Taking notes feels so natural now. I can control the size of my print better. And now I don't need to carry a pen and sticky note pad with me everywhere.

I of course did have an s Pen for my s21 Ultra, but when I wasn't using the bulky case for it, I'd be caught out without the pen. It wasn't a hardship though because until my dad fell ill and went into the hospital I didn't need to take that many notes. But the last few months it feels like that is all I do now.

I plunged right into making this phone useful and I've been pleased so far. I just wish I could test the entertainment side of it more. I can't wait to get more free time to compare it to the Pixel 6 Pro. I know there's so much more to both phones that I haven't explored yet.

This is why I purchase from a 3rd party, better preorder deals and they have more to lose than Samsung Corp.

Sure, I have to wait a few more days for my products but I don't mind.

The only dealings I have had with Samsung has been warranty issues and the return of my Note 7, which was a frustrating ordeal.

Sorry to hear about your issues Mellowfellow, I'd probably do the same as you in your position.

I upgraded from the Note 20 Ultra.. And, honestly besides the camera, I'm not so sure if it's been worth it..

Looks wise, I think the note 20 was the sexiest phone Samsung has made, followed closely by the S10+.
