Hello everyone,

I'm kinda new here mostly because I never had issues with any of my Samsung devices over the past 10 years but sadly this changed with the S22 Ultra.

I don't know how it's possible for a 1350€ Smartphone to have this many issues.

The experience so far has been the worst I ever had with any Smartphone...

List of issues:

1. Random freeze on lock screen when trying to unlock the phone.

2. Fast charging doesn't work only super fast charging or charging by cable.

3. Random lags on the UI, for example: pulling down the notification bar, scrolling on websites.

4. Opening camera apps takes like a second and shows a black screen before it shows anything, this includes the camera app, snapchat & instagram. (Haven't tested any other app with a camera option)

5. When watching videos increasing or decreasing the volume with touch is extremly lagy, I can never adjust it the way I want, it feels like it runs with like 5-10FPS.

6. Listening with to music with Bluetooth headphones the sound randomly gets louder and then again back to normal, looks like samsung music and spotify randomly set the equalizer back to default and than back to the custom setting I've set.

7. Overheating. I use the S-Pen to draw, the phone gets extremely hot. I use it to game, the phone gets extremely hot. Watch videos? Hot! Listen to music? Hot! I looks like the new Exynos just can't handle anything. I understand now why they did the GOS thing...

8. Hitting it with synthetic loads just makes it unstable. Now I'm not talking about running 20 apps in the background or doing multiple benchmarks no I mean stuff like starting downloads just kills the phone. When I update my apps from play store or galaxy store the phone gets extremely slow, if it's plugged to a charger then forget it, it feels like using a phone from 2010.

Now, I know I sound picky here but I hope you can understand me that this is just disappointing. This is supposedly to be the 0 compromise phone, the top of the line and none of this feels like it.

Do you guys have similar issues with your S22 Ultra?

I really hope Samsung can fix these issues with future updates and as for the performance, well they should just take a look at Apple. I'm not a fan of Apple and the choices that they make but their performance is just years ahead of Samsung especially of the Exynos chips.

C'mon Samsung, you copied Apples notch after making fun of them and added it to your new tablet, you copied Apple and removed the charger after making fun of them, you made fun of Apple slowing down their phones for their batteries to last longer and you copied that too now with GOS, do the same with the chips, copy it or atleast give us all the Snapdragon. After so many years you showed us that you can't keep up with the competition when it comes to making chips.
