7:49 Thank you for mentioning the UI stutters. They really need to work on that. These are flagship devices, I would expect the UI to be buttery smooth.

Great comparison video, thanks. I'm happy with my S22 Ultra. What are the benchmarking apps you used?

Go Xiaomi! Using Mi 9 for 3 years of heavy usage like easily 16h a day and abuse still surviving but starting to have issues. Pretty good considering Xiaomi did not enter premium phones back then and this is a mid ranger phone. Waiting to upgrade to the Mi 12 Ultra!

May I ask what are the temps like for your S22 Ultra? Mine has gone as high as 45 to 60 degrees Celsius. Constantly hitting over 40 even when I just watch RU-vid

You probably are not going to read this, but I really like your channel. While other tech RU-vidrs are focusing on neon lights, fancy music and "the feel of the phone in your hand" you are really going in depth with your reviews! The stuttering of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the overheating issues of the Xiaomi 12 Pro really suprised me. You are really critical with your reviews, I like that.

Can I make a slight suggestion? Perhaps when U do another “vs” video, make sure everything on each phone is the same or close to the same. Like a big one that I think matters is make sure the background on both phones are the same. That way we literally get a side by side comparison where we can see the quality differences and clarity difference, etc!! Cheers 🍻

Xiaomi has performance option to boost performance. at first I thought when I used performance mode my phone will get hotter but strangely it's cooler than in a balance mode so I required to use performance mode whenever you play heavy games like genshin.

Great comparison review! I am looking at the A53/A33 atm will you do a review about them? They are coming out in a week or so.

love your videos always accompanied by the show, I wish you could help me which smartphone to choose between the oneplus 9 Pro or mi 11 ultra or vivo x70 pro plus or iqooo 9 pro thank you very much

Will you do a 12x video please? Looks like an important addition to the more "compact" offerings while having a less hungry chip.

happy to see a sponsership chris! hope they sent you tons of money!

This is a great comparison! And I have to point out I live in the US and have been using a Huawei mate 20 x 4G phone for over 2 years. My last UI software update was in July of 21 and it's still running on Android 10. then in November of last year, I bought a Samsung S21 ultra. When you talk about glitches random shutdowns and lockups my carrier locked Samsung phone has glitched out more in the past 5 months, then the Mate 20x did in the past 2 years. Xiaomi phones have failed me. I had a Mi 9t pro with the screen so bad it would hurt your eyes . And then a Mi Max 3 that was wonderful until the earpiece failed and I could not get support in the US along with the second phone that failed my granddaughter because the charging port would no longer work. I think they aspire to be like Huawei but until they slow down on their production and increase on their quality and support they're not going to do it! I recently purchased a pair of redmi airdots 3 pros with high expectations because I loved the originals that are still working. They were so bad they may have been counterfeit. I always enjoy your reviews and the photographic views of Spain. I would love to go there someday it looks so beautiful ✌️

Do you have any plan to compare S22U vs GT2 pro ? Great video as always btw. Thank you.

Great comparison, thank you very much! What was funny for me to see is how the Xiaomi 12 Pro actually can shoot better photos than the mighty Samsung S22 Ultra. I did not expect that. But it's clear when looking at photos like those from minute 20:35 - there when it zooms in on the face of the statue, it's night and day difference in the amount of fine detail lost on the S22 Ultra in the eyes of the statue, whereas the 12 Pro not only maintained the eye details very well, BUT also it's so much more noise free. Also the next photo, from 20:42, the brick textures are so much better represented by the 12 Pro, whereas the S22 Ultra smudged everything. Also, it took better night time photos. I will reiterate, I WAS surprised, but it's nice to see the much better photo quality on the 12 Pro. Which is also a way cheaper phone than the S22 Ultra. I'll take the 12 Pro all day every day for photography purposes. Excellent noise reduction and much better fine detail preservation capabilities than the S22 Ultra.

In my country, the S22 Ultra is 1.5- 2x the price of the Mi 12 Pro. At that price difference, it looks like the 12 Pro is the better deal. The only thing going for Samsung (for me) is their UI and software support.

About the USB, idk if it's just me, but transferring via USB C to my laptop or iPad has always been faster on my Xiaomi handsets (particulary Poco F2 Pro , actually faster than the 11T Pro in my testing) compared to Samsung phones (only tested with S and Note phones) . Keep in mind I am sending huge video files from one to another

Should I get a used s22 with exynos or a new xiaomi 12 pro

In my opinion. Use dark mode as it looks way better when viewing your content. Other then that. Perfect 👍

WOW cant believe the image stabilization on Xiaomi 12 Pro is better than S22 U, I think Xiaomi main camera is perfect and night mode is so good.

Can you do a review of the Red Magic 7 Pro and the Lenovo Legion Y90?

Can i go for xiaomi 12 pro or is there any better option at that price point??

I bought S20Fe 5G yesterday and running Android 12. Zero stutters, zero lag. Awesome phone. But while purchasing it in Samsung showroom, I tried S22 Ultra running Exynos 2200 also and for some reason it didn't feel as snappy as S20fe 5G

Could you please review the Redmi K50 series?

I'm waiting for 12 Ultra , do you have some info about it?

I love the square corners, to look at. Round corners aren't so bad but they look weird/ugly often because it doesn't match with the phone, like in this case.

I am about to get snapdragon variant of s22 ultra soon..

Was GOS turned off here?

Xiaomi offers charger, lower price and quality is overall similar (although this is an unfair comparison once s22 ultra is placed on the level of say Xiaomi 12 ultra)

Thank you that saved me a hell of a lot of time. Peace

I actually dont 100% agree with your conclusion. Here is my conclusion in case anyone cares: Extras in the box clearly goes to Xiaomi. They unlike Samsung include a charger - not just any charger. A crazy fast one ontop of that. Fingerprint reader goes to Samsung. Its quicker and more secure. Ergonomics go to Xiaomi. There are no sharp edges on the 12 Pro, while there are on the S22 Ultra. Screen is either a tie or barely goes to Samsung. Its at least bigger and doesnt loose as much space to the corners - unfortunately both still have a punchhole. UI performance is a tie. Both are kinda mediocre atm. Animation speed is trivial. You can speed up or disable animations in developer options if you find the bothering. Bloatware is a tie. Both have a whole lot of bloatware but you can just uninstall it so its trivial anway. Charge times very clearly go to Xiaomi. Xiaomi offers fast charging both wired and wired wireless (yeah, I used these words intetionally), Samsung doesnt. Performance clearly goes to Xiaomi. And that despite the overheating of the SD 8G1. Battery life goes to Samsung but is kinda trivial since you can fully recharge the Xiaomi within just 18 minutes. Loudspeakers is not judgeable from the video. The S22 Ultra is louder, The 12 Pro has some bass. Gaming is superior on the Xiaomi despite it actually sucking in comparison to some other more gaming oriented phones. Heat is a tie. The S22 Ultra is a little colder, but only because it doesnt offer performance. So you could even argue that heat goes to Xiaomi, despite it being a touch hotter. Front facing camera barely goes to Samsung because they offer 4K. Microphones barely goes to the Xiaomi - It picks up basically no wind noise, while the wind causes clipping on the S22 Ultra. The much higher bitrate makes the S22 Ultra perform better under less windy conditions although the aac codec is quite efficient and as far as I am concerned these record in aac. And barely anyone is complaining about RU-vids audio codec which is also just 128kbps AAC - not even me as a somewhat audiophile who spends 1200€ on his headphone/amp/dac/cables. Main camera is honestly a tie. Zoom cameras clearly go to Samsung. Ultra wide is a win for Xiaomi. This applies to both Videos and Photos. Night mode is better on the XIaomi. Portrait mode goes to Xiaomi. Honorable mention: The Xiaomi 12 Pro has an IR-blaster built in. These are actually kinda useful. And you can also use them to troll in class. The Xiaomi 12 Pro unfortuantely only comes with USB 2.0. Thus the transfer speed via the USB cable will be as slow as what you are used to from the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The Xiaomi 12 Pro does not offer IP68 certification. This doesnt mean that its not waterproof - it probably is - but youre probably not gonna make your phone soaking wet anyway. Any if you do, also the Xiaomi 12 Pro should be fine. It really depends on what you want - but Think of it this way - the Xiaomi is much less expensive. Its still very expensive, but honestly the S22 Ultra is insultingly expensive considering what it offers.

Nice tests

Interesting as all the information and tests you do,the average consumer is just not bothered by it all,just want to know if it's good value for money

Also 12 pro uses physical proximity sensor or software one?

for me snapdragon 8 gen 1 still not a buy, the cooling system may hold the phone from heating up but the high power draw will easily makes your phone battery life span goes bad faster also cpu performance have no improvement over 888 with gpu sustained performance even don't touch peak 888 , the 8 gen 1+ with tsmc should offer a lot better in terms of efficiency /sustained performance and power so is a no brainer to get current 8 gen 1

Just got my S22 Ultra Yesterday. So happy that we get Snapdragon this time in Oceania. Loving the phone overall so far with my set up and testing but this OS is going to need some patches.

your videos are amazing would you do s camera comparison between 21 ultra and s22 ultra or xiaomi 12 pro please

U compare to equal processor that right away s22ultra sd gen1 and xiomi gen1

I have been using iPhone 11,12,13 I tried Xiaomi 11 is next level 🔥

Which is better to buy Samsung s22 or Xiaomi 12 pro? Pls reply

Would love to see some OnePlus phone reviews

Got xiaomi 12 pro. Love it!

very nice guide brother.

....where to buy the s22ultra with snapdragon in europe for the best price????

I have just ordered a 12 pro from Three network which is coming to me tomorrow. I was promised a 12Gb ram but while looking for a comparison like this, i came across the tiny detail that 12 pro is 8Gb ram and 12 ultra is 12Gb ram 🤔 Looks like I'm returning the phone if that's the case.

Pretty ridiculous that the battery capacity for new phones are 10% less that what they advertise (e.g., Xiaomi at 10:16). I can't imagine what a 4500mah phones true capacity is like...

Could we see Samsung S22 Vs Realme GT2 or GT2 pro

what version of xiaomi do you have because the 12 pro camera is far better than the s22

I have just updated my phone as well, It's a pixel 4a. It is also lagging severely, sometimes 5-10 seconds before opening. Sometimes think it didn't accept the command, so I go to push it again and that very instant it will pop up and send me somewhere else. So I will try to return and again it will lag just to do it again. I did a soft reboot and a hard reset without any success. I was debating on getting myself another phone but hearing this with a newer $1k plus phone makes me cringe.

Xiaomi has a dedicated AI engine, it have way more features than s22. It basically upscale videos 720p to 1080p, double framerate, automatically covert videos to HDR, image recognition and background removal

Which display looks better and clear

My exynos is laggy too😭 I found a way not to be so laggy. So from ram plus turn it to 2gb. Let me know

Can't believe I'm saying this, but I might go Apple in the future. My Xiaomi (Mi 10T) ever since the last Call of Duty update, restarts my whole phone everytime I play CODM with Game Turbo. Without Game Turbo, it still frame drops but doesn't restart. Now though, it applies to any heavy game with Game Turbo, and even when I browse my GALLERY among other apps. It's almost always random and it is not because of overheating. It is very, very annoying, can't believe this also applies to the high end phone. I would love to have Xiaomi release less phones and start to optimize and focus on their software.

Please take "Price" into consideration in future videos, thank you

You should really get a SD8Gen1 based S22ULTRA. Pls compare it with Xiaomi 12 Pro.

boss!! please try redmi k50 plzzz???

Yoo the Samsung had no video stutter omg, someone finally fixing it? Besides, it had fantastic camera quality. It’s a pity to see something fixed while breaking some others

Did s22 ultra have MEMC display?

for good gaming or spec is xiomi but for good and stabillity os and hardware i like samsung , apple and sony xperia

Brother please, which is better iPhone 13 Pro Max or S22 Ultra in terms of battery and photography. I hope you will answer my question. Have a nice day

Samsung throttling is extreme. What is the point of having the highest chip, if it only acts like a mid-range ship under heavy load?

obviously this test was done b4 there update on by passing its throttling limits that they original did.. & I'm pretty sure ur phone is not snapdragon chip.. which has no stutters & better photos..

What about the Internet speed test 5G and WIFI?

Let's be honest.... I bought S22 Ultra... Been using It for a month and on Wednesday I'm buying Mi12Pro... S22 Ultra with Exynos processor is a crappy brick that has a poor battery life,overheating,freezing and user interface from s8+-nothing changed. I've tried MI12Pro in shop and I'm going back to Xiaomi because Samsung is not worth 1350eur that I've payed for It. I'm so dissapointed at S22 Ultra,only thing that is good is the camera,but I don't need 100x zoom and 10x optical zoom. I'll never buy Samsung again, God bless Xiaomi!

Buggy phone contest for over $1000. nice

I would say it's a tie but if I have to buy one I would go for Xiaomi for price, S22 is stupidly expensive for what it offers

Honor Magic 4 Pro Please

Looking at the night pictures, Xiaomi is much better in low light. Look at the bushes on the left side of the last pictures. Thanks for the pictures an evaluation.

Very good 👍

It wasn't slow going through the settings 😑

It's not the phone for me I guess it's the Genshin Impact since the chipset used on the S22 Ultra is just new so the applications aren't that optimized yet on the chipset.

Xiaomi's sensor (Sony IMX707) has a lot of room for improvement, it's the first time they put it in a device of theirs. It already gets great photos and can get better with updates. It still does not exceed the Mi 11 Pro with the sensor (Samsung GN2), the same main sensor as the Mi 11 Ultra, a smart phone with excellent photographs. I think Xiaomi is dabbling in several high-quality sensors and positioning its photography at a respectable level. Thanks!

Should compare with S22 plus the ultra is on the different level

Please review realme gt neo 3 asap

what about gcam on 12 pro? does it support 4k on front camera? ❓

Wouldn't you compare the S22 ultra with the MI 12 ultra

S22 series has serious shutter lag that is why images come out blurry ....

Are both mobile phones scratch and water resistance?

6:00 Correction: Xiaomi supports 68b colours.

In Latin America the s22 ultra is about U$S 722 because samsung here is very aggresive with the price. And xiaomi you can get imported from about U$S 1100, its more expensive. The s22 ultra here is with snap 8 gen 1. When you bought the ultra you get free, galaxy fit, a galaxy voucher for the original case, car charger, wireless charger and tag, and in some cases 2 free tickets to kiss or maroon 5 recital, at least in Argentina is better to buy the s22 ultra. And you can buy in 6 installment

Shouldnt be Snapdragon for Europe intead of Exynos ?

Android 12 experience on one plus 9&9pro is terrible..buggy,laggy as hell, sudden reboots,in coming calls are getting canceled,league of legends is dropping on 2 fps after 2-3 games making the phone unusable.(I can't even reboot for 1-2 min) i will wait until firmware update and if no progress is done,iam selling them both.

that mi12 telephoto should have been 3x

Your review quickly busted my decision.

One reason I didn't buy the s22 ultra because of the charger, like really Samsung? No charger?

just for One UI i choose S22 , mi ui is a big mess , 4 years os suppert for S22 , s pen and better cameras are other reasons for choosing S22

i think i would get a xiaomi mainly because its $1600 vs $2100 NZD here in nz

Great Review. But the results from thermal camera have nothing to deal with throttling of a phone. The higher temp outside the phone can mean that it have better thermal dissipation which is good.

Rather than s22 ultra exhynos version I personally prefer Xiaomi 12 pro...

From s7 (maybe earlier) to s22 Samsung wasn't able to fix the wobbling problem due to misshandling reflections. As Samsung fan and user, I can't understand how video reviewers could classify as "better" if it is clearly "dancing" when they have to deal with harsh reflections in both front and rear cameras (obs: not comparing the image stabilization, in this scenario Samsung win).

I bought the S22 Ultra, expecting it to be a real upgrade from my Galaxy Note 10+, but nope. probably for daylight pictures. But SuperSlowMo sucks (not real 960fps, just 480fps with interpolation), and Night Mode causes some vignette on the top portion of the picture if taken vertically/upright (took night sky shots, the top portion wqs extra dim. when I put the phone upside-down & took the same angle, the picture appears brighter and better) Probably a manufacturing defect, I'm just giving you a warning.

the photos and stabilization on xiaomi are way better, the photos on s22u has too much noise and less details.

Samsung s22 ultra was like double the price here in South Africa

Why does this comparison look so bias in favor of S22 ultra?

S22 ultra recording is just another level, the mic is just too good compare with other brands

That's awful battery life. I average 10hrs. 37mins. screen on time. 16hrs. 49mins total time and max 11hrs. 59mins screen on and 17hrs. 12mins. total on my LG v60. That's everyday normal. That's exactly why I didn't but that 22 ultra as soon as it was released. My friend did and he misses his LG now. I'll get something different when someone releases something worth buying. Great video anyway.

@ Tech Tablets ... Here's another must watch ... NOTE , I DON'T POST NONSENSE I ONLY COMMUNICATE ON " AN APPLICATION TO REASON ... " basis JAH BLESS ...

WISH I CAN GET XIAOMI 12 BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT 😭😭😭

You clearly haven't turned of Samsung GOS
