Latest Android Version For S22 Ultra

[Roshan Fried]

Ive recently purchased a grade A refurbished note 20 ultra here in the UK to replace my note 10,the phone is stuck on android 10 ui 2.5,ive tried everything to force update with no luck,factory reset,clear cache,reset network settings,ive tried different carrier sim and also smartwitch on pc,nothing works,has anyone any idea of issues or a fix,ive even contacted Samsung who basically asked if I had done all of the above and then just told me to wait for update to show up,surely August 2020 security patch is not normal on this phone and should at least now be capable of running android 11

The benefits of such a big phone include a 6.8-inch AMOLED screen with a 2,480 x 1,116 pixel resolution. It supports a 120-Hz refresh rate (but is limited to 60 Hz or 120 Hz) and HDR 10+, and it offers a peak brightness of 1,500 nits. I found it sharp, vibrant, and bright enough for outdoor use. I particularly like the lack of any notch or cutout, achieved by situating the front-facing camera under the screen (if you shine bright light on it when the screen is off, you can just about make it out). A reasonably responsive fingerprint sensor resides at the bottom of the screen.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra features an interesting triple-lens camera. Nubia has prominently listed the focal length (the distance where lens and sensor converge). Measured in millimeters, smaller numbers mean a wider field of view and depth of field. There is a 50-megapixel, 35-mm main camera; a 50-megapixel, 18-mm wide-angle camera; and a 64-megapixel, 85-mm periscope telephoto camera. All three have optical image stabilization.

Daytime shots with good lighting are rich and detailed with accurate colors, and the color matching across the lenses is spot on. The main and ultrawide lenses have a good depth of field, enabling you to keep foreground and background in focus. You can also tap to focus on a subject with the main camera and achieve a decent bokeh effect (where the background or foreground are blurred). The telephoto lens is great for close-ups from a distance, though it is crucial you don't get too close to the subject (the app repeatedly warned me about this).

If you like to shoot video, the Z60 Ultra can record up to 8K at 30 frames per second or 4K at up to 120 fps (but only for 15 seconds). Most folks will want to stick with the default 1080p at 60 fps. There are fun time-lapse and slow-motion options.

The Nubia Z60 Ultra boasts a 6,000-mAh battery that will see you through busy days and can stretch to two days with regular use. Playing Asphalt 9: Legends for 20 minutes claimed just 3 percent of the battery. Nubia also provides an 80-watt charger and USB-C cable. It took around 45 minutes to fully charge from dead, but you can reach 80 percent in less than half an hour.

There is also a global version of the Nubia Z60 Ultra available in the UK and Europe, but interested folks in the US should be aware that it is missing several commonly used US wireless frequency bands and may not work all that well as an actual phone.

Perhaps the most obvious competitor for the Nubia Z60 Ultra is the OnePlus 12 (8/10, WIRED Recommends), and it will certainly be a better buy for folks in the States. People in the UK should also consider the Xiaomi 13T Pro (7/10, WIRED Review). You can find more options in our Best Android Phones guide. The Z60 Ultra is a powerful phone, but it's also a really heavy, bulky one with some drawbacks.

While its aluminum design, squared off sides and iPhone-like rounded corners are just a bigger version of the regular S24, the Galaxy S24 Plus has a new screen that has the same resolution as the S24 Ultra. In fact, since the S24 Plus has a smaller 6.7-inch display, compared to the 6.8-inch one on the Ultra, the Plus actually has a higher pixel density. It's only an 8-pixel difference and I know most people can't see it. I can't see it myself, but in my heart I know it's more and that's something.

The Plus and Ultra have the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, screen brightness and resolution, RAM, Galaxy AI features and storage options (except 1TB is reserved only for the Ultra). The Ultra is made of titanium instead of aluminum, has an ever-so-slightly bigger battery, houses an S Pen and, of course, has better cameras (on paper).

During my testing, the S24 Plus lasted two days on a single charge, ending the second day at 11 p.m. with the battery at 11%. The S24 Plus has a larger 4,900-mAh battery than last year's S23 Plus, which has a 4,700-mAh battery. The first day of use involved a lot of downloading, having the screen on at full brightness for a photoshoot in the morning and then keeping the screen at full brightness for a video shoot in the afternoon. And that was all while trying out new features like Circle to Search throughout the day. The Plus' battery ended the first day at 38%.

The second day was a bit more normal in terms of my workflow. I tried more new AI features. The phone can expand a photo's frame to show parts that were cut off, and it can erase an object from an image. I'm obsessed with keeping the horizons on my photos level (sorry, my dad was an architect) so being able to straighten a photo and then use the S24 Plus' onboard AI, called Generative Edit, to create new edges seemed too good to be true. The results weren't great, but they weren't horrible either.

Take a look below at another version of the photo. Using the edit tool, I moved the striped pillow, enlarged it and repositioned it above Mariel's head. I also straightened the photo, then let the AI do its thing. The results? For better or worse, it's obvious that something has been altered, but it's still fun. The fill around the photo's edges and the background fill where the couch pillow was look off. Note that the bottom left corner now has a tiny AI watermark to let you know that the photo was altered. The photo's EXIF data also includes a "Modified with Generative edit" label.

I did one more version, which you can see below. This time I moved the coffee cup from the table, enlarged it and placed it above Mariel's head. The S24 Plus did a better job filling things in here. The part of the table the phone's AI generated to fill in where the coffee cup was looks decent on a first glance. If you look closer though, you can tell something was altered on that corner.

Let's come back to the Circle To Search feature. It should really be called Circle To Buy -- it's like having Google Lens built right into the screen. If there's an image being shown on a website, app or social feed you can circle it, or a part of it, to start an instant Google search.

I came across a photo of a dog wearing sunglasses while on Instagram (which I immediately liked of course). I pressed and held the home button for a second, then circled the dog in the image. Search results for bulldogs populated the bottom of the screen. I tried the feature again on the same photo, this time circling the dog's sunglasses. The search results showed that the glasses were from Prada (this was clearly a fancy dog) and included several different options to buy them. And no, though I was tempted, I did not.

The S24 Plus has the same cameras on the back as the S23 Plus: a trio of wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. The main camera has a 50-megapixel sensor. Below are a few photos I took with the main camera and as you can see in good lighting, images look great. No surprise there.

So after two days, I can only come to one conclusion about the Galaxy S24 Plus: I have a lot more testing to do. My full impressions will be coming soon in a future review. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to solve my Ultra vs. Plus conundrum, too.

The Samsung Galaxy S21 is a series of high-end Android-based smartphones designed, developed, marketed, and manufactured by Samsung Electronics as part of its Galaxy S series. They collectively serve as the successor to the Samsung Galaxy S20 series. The first three smartphones were unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on 14 January 2021, while the Fan Edition model was unveiled at Samsung's CES on 3 January 2022.

The lineup of the first three devices was unveiled at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on 14 January 2021. The three devices served as the successors of the 2020 models. All devices' design scheme has changed drastically, redesigning the massive rear-camera module for a slimmer camera module incorporated with the buttons and a uniform appearance for the S21, S21+, and S21 Ultra. The base model possesses a (plastic) polycarbonate back, the only model of the three devices to attain the change. The base model attains similar specifications to the S20.[1] The S21+ retains the specifications and design of the regular S21, in contrast to minor differences. It serves as the successor to the S20+.[2] The S21 Ultra serves as the high-end model of the S21 series, integrated as the professional version of the lineup, and successor to the S20 Ultra. The phone became the first of the S-Series lineup to have S-Pen support, with limited functionality.[3] The S21 series discontinued sales once the Galaxy S22 were released.[6] The phones were released on 29 January 2021.[7]

The lineup comprises four devices, with the Galaxy S21 initially being the least expensive with a smaller screen size and a polycarbonate (plastic) back, which then is undercut later on by the Galaxy S21 FE with the same material minus the camera bump being also polycarbonate than metal. In contrast to the Galaxy S20+, the Galaxy S21+ is very similar to the S21 spec-wise, with the exception of a larger display, higher battery capacity, and glass back instead of plastic. The Galaxy S21 Ultra has an even larger screen size, battery, and a host of other improvements over the other models, including a more advanced camera setup highlighted by its 108 MP main sensor with laser auto-focus and a higher resolution 1440p display.[11] The S21 Ultra is also the first phone in the Galaxy S series to support the S Pen, albeit sold separately and with limited functionality.[12]
