Cons
The phone is so big
It may be unwieldy for some
Camera can be a little slow
Pen hasn't changed much
And this is more a spec bump update
No charger inbox and only up to 27W charging from third-party chargers
Base model 8/256GB – this is supposed to be a premium phone
An 8-bit/16.7m colour screen is inappropriate for a premium flagship
No mountable external SSD for videographers and vlog
Design is attractive but could be a little more distinct than the older S22 Ultra
Google Pixel 7 Pro is cheaper while offering a competitive feature set
No major advances apparent with 100x zoom in terms of clarity vs the S22 Ultra
