There have been some noticeable improvements over the past generation to have the “best camera group ever on a Samsung”, but the Galaxy S22 Ultra still doesn’t sit at the same table as the best competition. This is the conclusion of DxOMark, which has whipped the cameras of the latest Samsung device to test its level even with respect to competitors: if you want to surpass them, there is work to be done in optimizing the processing process, element in part also emerged in our review.
In short, the 144 points that continue to be worth to Huawei P50 Pro the head of the ranking in front of Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra and Mate 40 Pro + of October 2020, while according to DxOMark Galaxy S22 Ultra in the variant with Exynos chip (the one, to be clear, marketed in Europe) “is worth” 131 points, ie 13th place in the standings. The overall score is the result of those obtained in three categories:
- Photos, where the S22 Ultra scored 134 points (highest so far in the category of 149 points)
- Zoom, 86 points (maximum of 107 points)
- Video, 114 points (maximum of 119 points)
For DxOMark, the photographic performance of S22 Ultra is as good as that of Oppo Find X3 Pro, Vivo X70 Pro and X50 Pro+, and to be in the top 10 it should have had a little more ” cleaning”. Compared to Galaxy S21 Ultra, the heir of the Note has maintained its strengths and smoothed out some of the defects, improving the results obtained at sunset and shutter lag.
Compared to the rival par excellence, namely iPhone 13 Pro Max (137 points), experts note that Galaxy S22 Ultra has clear advantages in terms of zoom (up to 100x thanks to the 10x periscope telephoto, while the 13 Pro Max has tele 3x which does not allow magic), but gives way to the Cupertino product in less specific cases, which are also the most common ones: “iPhone 13 Pro Max remains at the forefront in terms of photo quality”, they write.
Within the Android panorama, in the opinion of DxOMark, Pixel 6 Pro is a better choice: despite the fact that almost 400 euro price lists dance between the two and with the same memories, photos and videos of the Google product are superior, while S22 Ultra is preferable for zoom.
