Galaxy S22 Ultra Camera Test Exynos vs Snapdragon After Updates 

Team Exynos or Team Snapdragon? Which one do you have and which one do you prefer? Is the Galaxy S22 Ultra Camera still one of the best or do you wish it was better?

Wow you did it again! Great job Danny! And we're waiting for S21FE version of this video :)

Very interesting. I'd love to see an updated comparison with the Pixel 6 vs S22 Ultra and/or S22+ now that there have been a good number of updates. I would have loved to have seen it here because I was back and forth with thinking the Exynos (would make sense) or Snapdragon had characteristics with the Pixel, especially in video but we can refer back to this one and give you some more views (win-win).

I felt the same with my Exynos variant. The 3x lens have better quality than that of the main sensor especially during the day and in video. That's why I rather prefer taking pictures with the tele as possible as I can. Also the stabilization is way off in the main lens, it wobbles a lot. Hope samsung fixes the issue with the main sensor.

I think you would be happy with either one. As you said....Hard to tell if they aren't next to each other. I prefer the Snapdragon overall, but since I am in the U S, this is what I use and I'm used to it.

Clean!!!

2:28 tbh most of those images could be attributed to different exposures. When one has more shadow detail, it also blows out highlights. It's prevalent when having black objects as a point of focus - the exposure can vary quite a bit depending on how much of the black is used as an exposure metering point

I remember requesting for this a couple of months back, u said u were waiting for updates Thanks it came through at last.

When it comes to camera comparison.Danny is by far the best..And will always be the best.No one ever explain every detail in every picture to picture coparison like Danny...The way he talks and explains is amazingly great..We love you Danny..you Did great job...As always ... DANNY IS THE BEST..😍

Actually insane that what is basically the same phone can produce such different results at times. I’m from the uk but managed to get the snapdragon version from eBay and overall I’m glad about that. Especially for the zoom comparison.

Thank you for this incredible comparison with superb photos and full of joy and happiness, but we can see clearly and I can confirm that the S22 Exynos has made a lot of progress in doing so. I see it every day with my S22 Ultra Exynos but there is still a gap with the Snapdragon here it is sad but I think Samsung continues to make efforts. Thank you for your work.

Another excellent comparison, my friend... just yourself to bring a quality content and so complete, not to mention the beautiful place chosen... congratulations! I would like to leave my feedback... On Exynos, I found the HDR and the colors better in general, especially in people, I found the lack of sharpness and details bad, sometimes it seemed like I had lost focus... On Snapdragon, I found the details and sharpness, but the HDR, the oversharpening, and a magenta tone sometimes affecting the faces and the sky mainly bothered me, but also elsewhere in the photo, which I believe is some kind of problem with the 8Gen1 chipset, and not necessarily the S22u Snap, but that bothers me a lot. In both devices, the inconsistency scares me, which would make me this year not recommend such devices as flagships at the camera level. Another important aspect about the cameras, more particularly about the photos, the S21 Ultra after the last update to ONE UI 4.1 was ahead of the S22 Ultra, according to comparisons between the two that I saw in some channels, as well as the photo samples on specialized websites. ... I'll try to explain why both on a hardware and software level. This year I was very angry with the result of the flagships launched so far in terms of camera, especially with Samsung, because I have a S21 Ultra, I think it was the best in terms of photography last year, and after seeing dozens of comparisons this year, I decided to stick to comparing it with the S22 Ultra itself, and such was my disappointment to be able to prove the DOWNGRADE (the CAPADA) that Samsung made in the S22 camera in several aspects, mainly in terms of details of the photos and blurs sides, and because of that I took advantage of my channel to leave a comparison showing the INFERIORITY of the Ultra, S22 in relation to the S21, with overwhelming EVIDENCE... there and opining if you agree with what I show there in the photos or if you have a different opinion. The cover was general from the manufacturers in their flags, and with that Samsung also made me keep quiet waiting for the S23 Ultra. Finally, I don't know if it's asking too much and if you would be able to do that, I would like to ask if you could make an updated comparison of the S22 Ultra with the S21 Ultra in terms of photography mainly... I believe it would be very successful if you with the two devices I could verify the things that I showed there on my channel. A big hug and congratulations again!

From start to finish, a great Review. Kudos!

Nice video, thanks for update. Like your videos. What is situation with Chromatic aboration on Exinos version? In video i did not noticed any. Beofre update I had friends S22 ultra in hands, pictures on contrast edges was realy suffered from CA.

Best channel for Video comparisons BY FAR. I guess having all year access to rhe theme Park helps :D

I did a test with friend exynos vs my snapdragon & I got opposite results for Portrait.. His exynos blew out highlights. So I wander if it's just possible either phone performance slightly different phone to phone, or more likely it's just the HDR algorithm. You just have to take multiple pictures like any photgrapher cause each shot could be good or bad for either phone. The software isn't dependable every shot. Can't deny snapdragon is just Str8 better at detail.. That is consistent. Excellent video as usual. You are definitely best phone camera comparison utuber!

Salut, j'ai pu remarquer avec le temps et mes différents recherches sur mes intérêts et que je tombais sur tes vidéos. Que tu étais incroyable dans la qualité et les détails techniques de vidéos. Donc évidemment je m'abonne ❤️👍👍👍

Hey Danny, I can see that on Exynos still issues with blurred bottom sides of pictures ( grass on picture number 4 for instance). Actually picture number 4 and grass shows how much sharper is with Snapdragon. Actually majority of pictures has this blurry problem on the sides. Thank you for video which confirmed taht I should not be sad I have changed S22U to iPhone 13 Pro Max, Samsung fill never fix Exynos version....Shame that in EU we have no choice..

Thx for the comparison. You did a lot of photos but I often noticed a difference in focus aim. As nowadays image optimization refer on what the cam app believes to see and what is important in a foto, I could imagine that this leads to different interpretations and thus image processing. I also really wonder about the quality spread across the same model. Have you ever done a comparison with two phones of the same model, I mean really the same model? I would bet that this will also differ, maybe almost like this. Would be interesting

What a difference! Please do this on the next S23Ultras, I really appreceate your videos every time! Have nice day!

Fantastic bro. You are the best in comparisons by a big margin. I am waiting for your Xiaomi 12S ultra comparison with S22 ultra. Do that and it will get a record high view bro...

Got Snapdragon here in Australia. Absolutely love the camera on this phone.

AMAZING, HIGH QUALITY AND DETAILED REVIEW !!!!!

I wish Samsung would just pick one and stay with it, I have the Exynos and during my recent trip it done well on some shots but others it fell apart completely and even editing them I found can make it worse

The gap in camera performance is a big part of why I have not upgraded to a Samsung mobile phone for a bunch of years, living in Europe. Different ISP, different algorithms running on them and SDKs for the people who implement the camera features to play with and it shows, The much worse stabilization on the Exynos for instance on the longer end - higher zoom, what would be used for wildlife video (capturing birds and other animals) is a dealbreaker.

5:03 the Exynos has much better background details though, you can see the girl whereas on the Snapdragon one you can't even see her... ;-)

Please do a camera comparison again with iphone 13 PRO MAX after the June Update....Thanks in Advance

Damn I think both looks great

Very good test man! Thanks

I love your comparison video's. Is it possible to hide the names of the phones for about 1 to 2 seconds? The bias that people have will not play a factor when judging the results.

Those who been in manufacturing and design industry knows there are always variation in production batch. There are people who buy lots of CPU chips and only select the the one.

Thanks a lot for the comparison! 😃👍 Unfortunately that's one reason more not to spend € 1,449.- here in Europe. 😳

I am living in England. If I buy the snapdragon version (US), will this still work in terms of signal etc etc in the UK? Other than 5g not working, will it work as if it were a UK phone with an EE SIM in? I am not worried about the warranty side of things

So that's why I found out that s21fe has a much better white balance than the s20fe5g. Exynos vs Snapdragon. I loved the comparison. I really liked exynos colors better, but chopping ears, glasses, and other details are inexcusable. lol

you should make a comparison between S22 Ultra after software update with iPhone 13 Pro Max, not necessarily in the near future, but you should make one😁

If the model with exynos processor would cost 200 dollars less or something similar, there would be no complaints... But in Europe and other parts of the world we are paying the same for a more than obvious worse camera quality. Also noticeable is the heating and a more unstable phone signal coverage in the Exynos version, which produces more heat and battery loss.

I have to say on many photos the difference between one and the other felt like the the Exynos had OIS Off... :S Is really this big of a difference even after the updates?

The last update improved quality, both are with the last update ?

If Samsung had a snapdragon in my region I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. But since Exynos is the only variant I decided to buy a pixel instead

5:19 / 5:20 Could you please zoom in a bit more (magnification). The difference is difficult to see on a smartphone display even at 1,440p or more. Thanks! 😃

Didn't know that the processor had THAT Much influence.

great job, many thanks

Good job! Thank you 👍

The most honest video I've found

3:11 I dare say there's more colour on the Exynos photo here

please tell me, the size of the foto files (.jpeg) on Exynos and Snapdragon is different and how much?

THANK YOU!!

So exynos users get shit but pay same price nice samsung....

need your advice sir: smartphone alternative with 4K 60fps ultrawide video capability other than iphone series & samsung s22 ultra

Team SD Because I Have this versión of S22Ultra! 😅

As long as Samsung does not end this shameful practice of providing a lesser processor in Europe for the same price, I refuse to buy a Samsung device. For now I am at Apple, maybe a Pixel might interest me depending on the performance photos and videos of the next ones. It’s just shameful to have such a difference just because of the processor.

How do u check for differences between SD or Ex.?

network range is same? gps range is same? thank you!

They make the perfect conditions for the one they want to make it better... As an example at 9:55, in Exynos he takes the photo with all the light visible behind the kid's head, in SD he almost covers the light... of course the photo in SD will come out better

poco x4 gt and poco f4 video description waiting for you.

Im from Ireland and it annoys me so much that we only get exynos over here, one thing I notice with having my s21 ultra exynos version it's good the first year it comes out but then the next year it's like the phone goes to shit with the camera quality and then the software. I wish samsung would just get rid of exynos and give us the snapdragon version....

I noticed maybe a bit of over-sharpness in the daytime video with the main camera on Snapdragon version but overall I agree with you. Personally I sent back my S22U exynos (belgium) to finally use only my Pixel 6 Pro which I find is better in photos overall. Nice place and thank you Danny for this excellent comparison as usual 🙂👌

Danny is & will always be the best...😍

3x on exynos seem slightly better

Hi, i live in europe, i wanted to buy a ss22 ultra, the problem is that i don't know what to choose. There are korean versions with snapdragon , global versions with snap dragon, american version snapdragon, vietnamese version snapdragon, and there is europian version with Exynos. Now i am not sure what version to buy. And i am afraid if i buy not the right one, i will have problems with the signals etc. I don't know if korean version will work properly here in Italy where i live. Can somebody that knows how it works, give me the right answer please. It will be much appreciated

i need one answer please, I'm not havey user, is Exynos really so bad for me? i never play a games that need high performance

If you're using a side by side rig to shoot these photos, they are never taking the same exact shot. There will be differences in lighting and composition... although subtle in most cases. Look at your subject as you move your camera 6 inches to one side, simulating a second phone end to end. You'll see the lighting change while you move.

Can you do S21 FE version of this?

How can you tell which one you have on your phone?

Try to compare it with op find x5 pro, Dan 🙏

Where can I download the exynos apk? It dosen't work at my phone samsung s22

This softening is annoying but I wouldn't say it is because of Exynos but rather because of software. I was shocked that Gcam Port app make selfies with better quality than samsung camera app on the same phone.

S21 makes better 64MP photos than S22 Ultra's 108MP ones (Exynos). What a shame. Also, S21's regular 12MP photos are more detailed than the 12MP photos of S22 Ultra (Exinos). The funny thing is that 12MP main camera of my S10e (same camera as in S10, S10 Plus, Note 10 and Note 10 Plus) makes better photos AND 4K/60 videos than both S21 and S22 Ultra (Exynos). The S10 and Note 10 series are so much better, I can't believe it. Not sure why "Samsung" is applying so much oversharpening in their new phones that make them perform worse than their older flagships...

what version of snapdragon do you have?

Can you please do the S20 Ultra Snapdragon vs the S22 Ultra Exynos? I'm very unhappy with the photo's from my S22 Ultra Exynos and want to know if an older Snapdragon Galaxy is better than the newest Exynos.

that was grate comparation 🔥🔥 thanks

Exynos Always Samsung Inhouse Processor and it's Dual Sim Always. Snapdragon is US Variant available in Certain Countries.

GJ as always

Not gonna lie I like human subjects on the Exynos better. Skin is just the right pop and colour. But oversll Snapdragon still reigns supreme on most of the shot. My country has the Snapdragon model after going Exynos for a while so definitely worth it this time.

How to get s22 snapdragon in UK ?

Portland, JAMAICA in The Building !!!!!

wow you live in a really beautufl place!

Pls let us know firmware version code. Thanks

4:22 I jusstt hate my mind 🌚.

2:14 how is the framing and the people in the exact same place on both shots?

Just when i thought i couldn't hate exynos more, this happens. Im really allergic to exynos i despise it. Samsung is like a an insane mental patient doing the same thing over and over and expecting diffrent results yea yea i know they tried with AMD gpu and still failed. They know people hate the exynos and they still dont care its like " IN YA FACE I KNOW YOU WILL STILL BUT IT" i dont care if its better this year, this shouldnt happen we paying for the same phone. If they have to use exynos i dont understand why not use it instedt in their FOLD AND FLIPP PHONES, people who buy flipp and fold phones would not care just as much as we who buy the top s flagship if the exynos performs worse. At least not as much, because you buy a fold because its a cool tech, its not because of camera and battery and performance. But you buy the s flagship to have the greatest samsung has to offer when it comes to camera ,battery , performance.

Comparison with Vivo X80 Pro please

I love the snapdragon better for video iPhone 13 pro max keep on hand photo I keep S22 ultra I never leave home without both phone in Pocket

I use samsung flaghips for years, two yers ago i buy fold2 it was my first snapdragon phone,becouse im from europe and exynos its only choice, i never againg buy exynos wersion.

Am so shocked i didn't know different GPUs in Samsung smartphones affected performance this much..its sad honestly..this is bad

Yes, sadly the Exynos S22U picture quality i bad, even my 5 year old S8+ has much better/clearer picture quality 😠.. Thought after 5 years off camera technology evolution the S22U would destroy the S8+, omg how wrong I was... And I was comparing S8+ with S22U that was bought i June and had the latest software update.. If Samsung doesn't take this seriously and get their shit together mabey my next phone will already be the iPhone 14 pro Max...

I think they should abandon exynos till s25 when they will use tailor made chipset for the phones

Красивое место, где это находится?

I have the S22 Ultra and i just wish they would give us in Europe the snapdragon processor here..

Thanks for the comparison! Those differences are unacceptable for a flagship phone that costs ~1200 new. It is deceiving for consumers to see reviews on the larger channels and decide to get the device on those merits and then get a different user experience because the cameras differ that much. With the Exynos you are getting so much worse video performance that one might think that they are from completely different phone models. Consistency is the name of the game for premium devices and Samsung has really missed it with this one. Hope they can fix that, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

Snapdragon here in the U.S. also love the camera on this. I've don't feel the need to lug around my DSLR anymore, I love my pro camera but this phones camera and the ability to take RAW file shots makes the white balance problem no problem at all. Quick easy fixes in Lightroom.

Great video in general, but one problem. You do a handheld zoom test on a boat and therefore you have only proved that you're left-handed EDIT RIGHT-HANDED, if you had the exynos in the left hand. Anyone could test it by walking slow and holding a phone with one hand and do a 10x zoom recording and see the difference changing from the left hand to the right hand, which is even more visible, if you have to hold two phones at the same time as in the video. Please, do not do these tests handheld.

Team Exynos for the moment (living in Europe) But in August switching to the snapdragon on my USA visit 😀

Given how photos almost never turn out perfect for any phones, i edit them anyway and i'm glad to have the ExpertRaw haha.

Did he live in Disneyland? I saw video About S21 ultra and Photos was taken in Disneyland (i think it is Disneyland)

Il say Snapdragon still in the lead but il choose iphone over samsung the fact that we get 2 different chipsets is not cool and software updates differs on samsung models ios releases it for all iPhones

2:24 the exynos didnt failed on HDR! You use tap to focus on the cannon, that is why is brighter! I hate this comparisons, they are never in the same condition.

Comparing phones in AUTO mode, seriously? A simple difference in position make the white balance and exposure totally different. Did you know it?

what is the price of the iPhone 14 max in the uk

There is no camera or chip that can do everything. However, I would see the Snapdragon as the winner in this comparison
