Editor's Choice: The Galaxy S22 Ultra offers new Note-inspired features, but otherwise isn't that different from the S21 Ultra.

So should you buy the Galaxy S22 Ultra? That's a bit of a tough one. The S22 Ultra does not feel like an S series phone, it feels like a Note. So for Note users and those who appreciate the S Pen, well, it's the newest and pretty much only option in town. And a super powerful one at that!

S Pen in a flagship, great for creatives, Industry-leading screen quality, Faster charging than before, 10X zoom camera is improved significantly, Video recording gets smoother stabilization, 4 years of major software updates!

very bright and accurate display, 5G, Wi-Fi 6E and eSIM, will get updates for a long time, S Pen included, IP68 certification, great voice quality
