Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra — a Galaxy Note in all but name

There used to be a clear distinction between the Note and S lines, but in recent years the differences have been far less obvious

The Galaxy Note is dead. Long live Galaxy Ultra. Last year Samsung killed its Note series to the dismay of Note fans everywhere. This year they brought it back but now call it the S22 Ultra. I’ve been a massive Note fan since I reviewed the original over a decade ago. Back then there was a clear distinction between the Note and S lines, but in recent years the differences have been far less obvious.

Now choices are much clearer with the release of the Galaxy S22, S22+ and S22 Ultra.
