Samsung is back in the flagship game this year with the new Galaxy S22 series which has three models for you to consider. But the phone which has got everyone excited is the new Galaxy S22 Ultra that feels like a reincarnation of the Galaxy Note series. It gets S Pen support now, and the Ultra moniker means you get more meat under the hood. So, in order to understand what has really changed with the device, we thought about comparing it with its predecessor which is the Galaxy S21 Ultra from last year.

Galaxy S21 Ultra did excite us with its design and looks last year. At the back the vertical camera setup gives it an imposing stature, and a 6.8-inch form factor further aided its cause. The curves ensure you can comfortably hold the device without feeling unwieldy. The overall design had a uniformity that you associate with premium devices. The dimensions are the same as the new Galaxy S22 Ultra.
