One Plus 7 Pro or Samsung S10+ at the same price?

S10+ is about €50 more expensive so it's basically in the same league price wise.
I'm currently using Note 8 but I'm sick of Samsung. However, battery life is important and I read that OnePlus 7 Pro doesn't have a good battery life.

I had an s10+ (that I returned) and found battery life to be very similar between the two.
I'm enjoying the 7pro a lot more because I value the notchless screen, performance, and software. That said, the cameras on the s10 are definitely better.

it just depends what you care about more, for me personally camera and wireless charging is a plus for s10 but the notch less display, a bigger display, a fingerprint scanner that works a lot faster, Oxygen OS outweigh the benefits from S10 but I barely ever take any pics and found alternate solutions for wireless charging.

The S10 has a much better camera experience, IP rating(if that matters to you) and Wireless charging.
Oneplus has a better overall software experience. Not saying Samsung is bad because it is not, Samsung has come a long way from touchwiz and oneui is enjoyable. Oneplus's oxygen OS is just very smooth and fast especially with the 90hz screen
Rooting is easy with Oneplus. Not so much on the S10
Updates ate quicker and more frequent on Oneplus devices.
I usually find my sim card in the s10 because of the wireless charging and better camera.

Oneplus has better system software for the most part, S10 is going to beat it in nearly every other category hardware wise. At the same price the s10+ would be hard to pass up and get the Op7

Same price, S10+ for me no questions asked (this is coming from someone who as owned almost every OnePlus device and not had a Samsung since the Note 4). I own both phones and the S10+ is my daily driver, 7 Pro is my backup.
It really depends on what you're looking for in a phone. While the 7 Pro feels a little faster (not much) OneUI on the S10+ offers a lot more options (and is so much better than TouchWiz was). Really the only thing the 7 Pro has over the S10+ is the 90hz screen, screen size, no notch/hole punch, charging speed, and 3.0 memory.

Does Samsung still offer unlockable bootloaders? Dual Sim?

They do on the international variants...

I switched from the S10+ to the OP7 Pro because I was hating the punch hole but to be honest I'm thinking on returning the OP7 Pro.
Choppy scrolling on all browsers I've tried, completely opposite of smooth. S10+ was way smoother. Extremely poor LTE signal on T-Mobile, can't stream anything over 480p. Chin bigger than in advertisements/renders. Can't play any video on anything over 1.5x, have a lot of audio cut offs and too many dropped frames. 90% of my use is web browsing and watching videos at 2x so these are deal breakers for me.
I'm also struggling to give up Always on Display and wireless charging and I prefer S10+ screen's colors and the subtle curves with much less glare I just hate the punch hole so not sure what to do yet.
Performance wise are similar but animations are smoother on OP7 Pro. I could not go back to Note 9 since that one is now too slow for me.

I haven't noticed this, you are sure you aren't getting throttled to 480p but the network? If you have ONE but not plus you will be throttled to 480p.

Do they charge extra for that? I only found one that said "HD 24 Hours Pass" and it costs $3 per day.
It may be my area though, when I had my sim on the S10+ it had no problems at all streaming 1080p or even 2k videos at all.
OP7 Pro starts streaming at like 360p and I have to manually change it to at leats 720p but it stops A LOT to buffer.

Lol, sorry I meant the chin.
And no I'm not being throttled to 480p, if I insert the sim on the S10+ I can stream 1080p or 2k without any issues. It might be my area though. I also have the international version of the OP7 Pro and I heard rumors that it didn't have band 71 but I'm not sure.

S10+ beats the OnePlus 7 Pro in nearly every category hardware wise? Hardly. Best screen, OP7P. Fastest UFS storage, OP7P. Best speakers, in my opinion, OP7P. Headphone jack, obviously S10+. Cameras are subjective, especially with pending software updates, but I do believe that Samsung oversaturates their pictures way too much. Build quality is a tossup, as both smartphones are beautiful in their own right. Both feature an SD855 processor. Everything else is a tie.

I have both and it really is swings and roundabouts.
The OP is faster at pretty much everything, I prefer the near stock experience and knowing I'll get Q probably in the autumn vs 2020 on the S10+
I have the ceramic S10 and it probably is a nicer device in the hand and slightly easier to manage, I also miss the always on display and wireless charging. I would imagine the non-ceramic S10+ is even easier to manage on account of being lighter.

Doesn't look like the international one has band 71. Kimovil has a great and easy way to find out bands and coverage support. I use this when I get new phones because I travel to the USA regularly and want a phone that can roam well.

Thanks for the replies all.
The main reason 7 Pro is attractive is that notchless big screen with a 4000mah battery and easy root.
The rest is not so important.
However I think I might just wait and see what happens next year.
Note 8 is still quite powerful. Just that battery life...

The big notchless screen was my main attraction to the OP7 Pro as well but I finally decided today that I'll return it and go back to the S10+. There's just too many little details (bugs and missing things) that add up and make the overall usability worse. The only scenario I've found the OP7 Pro better was when watching videos in the night because I hate the pucnh hole but other than the hole, the screen on the S10+ is better (better more vivid colors, brighter, more subtle curves and waaay less glare, better viewing angles without much color shifting, it's super amoled so glass is glued to screen and looks as if there had not glass at all, while OP7 Pro looks like if you were looking through a window, not sure how to explain it but noticed the same with my ex-Mate 20 Pro when comparing with my ex-Note 9)

Removing the screen protector of my Op7 pro was the fiedt thing I did, I hate screen protectors. It's the calibration, quality (even though both are samsung branded the one of the S10+ is more expensive even though it's smaller because of something) and because AMOLED vs glass separated from display. I don't know what you mean with "all OLEDS are that way, that's how technology is" yeah all of them have color shift and all of them are prone to burn in but color shift is A LOT less noticeable on my S10+ unless I tilt it to extreme unusable angles.
Yes usability is worse, I can get things done easier and faster on the S10+ even though animations are "smoother" and apps load 0.5 seconds faster on OP7 Pro. If I was a samsung fanboy I wouldn't even have bought the OP7 Pro, I just try to buy the best phone in the market for my usage no matter the brand and I truly though this was gonna be the close to perfect phone but they are still cutting a lot of corners. I'll try again with the OP8 Pro.

Please delete. Ain't going to waste my time

Question S22 Ultra compared to the Note20 Ultra

The advantages so far:
+5G reception and C-Band are noticeable improvements (Data speeds are 2-3x faster than the Note20 Ultra)
+Ability to run screen at full resolution and 120 Hz
+AMOLED uniformity MUCH better
+Speaker clarity is much improved
+The S-Pen glides across the screen much more smoothly.
+Minor, but the image stabilization on the camera doesn't rattle like the Note20 Ultra's did.
+Phone navigation is slightly faster and more responsive, though the Note20 Ultra was plenty fast.
Overall, it is a refinement of an already great phone. It fixes many of my gripes with its predecessor. The fact that the phone is heavier and is missing a MicroSD slot will take some adjustment but 512 GB should be plenty. If you're on Verizon and in a 5G C-Band area, you'll finally see a speed boost. I'll update if I find anything else worth noting.

Yes that 21grams actually makes a difference when your holding it, I didn't think much of it when looking at the specs before buying. But when holding the phone that weight is much more noticeable.
Overall i don't think its much of a upgrade, Exynos version here and i have noticed a horrible lag in comparison to my Note 20 Ultra.
I believe this is a OS issue and hoping an update will resolve it (It was present on my Note 20 ultra prior to the last OS update), but when first launching a game and playing for the first couple of minutes its laggy and eventually settles itself with some odd occasional stuttering throughout
This also happens in performance mode enabled on High, the only thing that is frustrating me at the moment.

Don't mean to sound rude when I say this but you have a exynos and he has a snapdragon. You can't really compare them right now. He doesn't have the stuttering and laggy issues that you have. So when you say not much of an upgrade he is not coming from the same space that you are. Hopefully the day one patch will get rid of your stuttering and lagging and then maybe you will say it is an upgrade also.

I didn't think you where being rude, i just didn't get the point of your post, A topic was created comparing both devices, So i shared my own opinion on the two devices, as the S22 Ultra was the upgrade from my Note 20 Ultra. This is what this place is about, Discussions.
I was aware their device was Snapdragon given they are on the Verizon network, Mine is not and talking about the experience of the Exynos variant.

The camera especially with zoom is a huge difference, and if people wait another generation the trade on value on the n20u will be less than half of the current $600 trade in.
So you can spend that money now or spend that same money a tear from now.
Video editing also has crop and rotate correction now, image erase has both shadow and reflection removal, the more I'm exploring the phone the more improvements I'm finding.
My only nit right now is actually the improved s pen... it now has a grippy texture, so sliding it on and out isn't as smooth as the n20u.

my S22 Ultra compared to my Note 20U, I`m glad I did the trade in and up graded for the unlock version, the camera Zoom is crazy better than the Note 20U and I like the heavier weight reminds me of my S21 ultra which felt like a premium phone, for me everything works great and no issues for me.

On your N22 Ultra, when connected to the C Band, are you seeing the 5G UW icon or just 5G?

On the Verizon variant, I see 5G UW. No idea what an unlocked model would show.

Question How to fix Twitter scrolling lag ?

Hello, there's few apps that aren't optimized yet, or will never be, but especially for Twitter it's annoying, it was perfectly smooth on my S20+.

Contact Twitter and give your feedback. When it comes to apps, Samsung has no control over that.
I have noticed a slight lag also in Twitter but I've now gotten used to it and don't notice it as much.

I'm not noticing any lag or delay scrolling around in Twitter at all, it is smooth smooth scrolling fast or slow and Twitter is my most used app. Maybe I just don't see it? Try closing your background apps for a bit to see it one of them is sucking your cycles? I'm using FHD+ and adaptive scrolling and vivid. I have S22U1 SD version.

I have the same problem (Exynos version), most social network apps (official apps) with long lists have this problem.
Not sure if I should wait for an hypothetical fix from an update or go back to my previous phone (if it can't be fixed), it really feels like I'm using a cheap $300 device...

Exactly, I have the same feeling, so I guess it's only on Exynos version, feel like a very cheap device. No good experience, but I've already sent back my S20+ which was super smooth. So anyone have a solution or I should switch to iPhone for real...

I installed the new u1 update today. I immediately noticed that Twitter had no more lag. I am glad to see that. I have an AT&t branded s22 ultra that is on the u1 firmware.

Twitter has never been really smooth but on the S22 Ultra it’s hopeless. With S21 it’s okay but not great either.
Tried different versions of twitter and disabled/enable Android webview but without luck. Best way is to use it in the webbrowser.
S22’s overall smoothness isn’t great and it’s not on par with S21. It really needs some fixing.

Try factory reset. It was laggy for me as well (Smart Switch?) but now the experience, benchmarks and battery got so much better)

I tried to factory reset, but nothing changed (I've only installed Twitter to check). I tried a lot of things recommended in this forum about performances, but nothing worked.
I spent a lot of time disabling things to get a smoother experience, but I shouldn't have to that with a high-end device. I haven't used an Android device as a daily driver since a long time, but from what I remember even middle-end devices didn't have these problems.
I really like the Note experience but it seems like I'm using an old phone lacking in term of performances due to being an old phone.

I believe Twitter lag is connected with exynos soc somehow. I have a pixel 6 pro (tensor chip is based on exynos) with oppo find x3 pro (Snapdragon 888) pixel have a huge lag while oppo flies. Before pixel I have s22 ultra exynos version which I did send it back because of performance issues. I will upload a video side by side comparison today with 1080p60hz to show it.

Yeah, I think it's something to do with the Exynos. My Sd888 Zfold3 scrolls fine on Twitter but my s22u and P6P were both a mess and stuttering etc.

Installed Twitter app on my new Galaxy A73 5G it's super laggy. Work perfectly on OnePlus 7T but laggy while scrolling on A73.

I purchased my S22 Ultra yesterday and the twitter scrolling lag has really given me bad first impressions. Literally my Pixel 2 XL ran twitter smoother.
PS: I am using the Snapdragon model, not even Exynos model here.

Question Exynos v Snapdragon?

Hi guys I’m looking to purchase the s22 ultra but seen an old video showing that the Exynos version was pretty bad. Apps taking longer to load and just being laggy. Is this still the case with the Exynos version or has this been fixed via updates?

Go for the Snap variant if you can.

Unfortunately it will be the Exynos as it’s an upgrade with my network. I’m guessing updates hasn’t fixed the issues?

I have an Exynos 2200 version for Germany (bought from Samsung directly), and I have really no complaints at all outside a small difference in installation/update times for the apps. I compared with my OPPO Find X3 Pro (PEEM00 version) and the Snapdragon 888 was doing a better job (quite surprised).
But the difference isn't that big, even if the fact that it is noticeable is already a disappointment in itself for a device that premium-priced.
If that kind of thing is bothering you too much, maybe wait a few more months and grab a S23U, if Samsung deploy the full fleet with the SDG2.

Don't make mistake , SD only. If picture quality and some of battery and overall performance is important go for SD. S22Ultra with Exynos makes sh**ty photos and in some areas performing worse than 400 EUR cheaper phones. I have Exynos and not impressed price vs benifit. Last phone that has given me most WOW was Mi 11 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro - best camera in some scenarious.
I really hope that S23U will be SD globally and that I could get good trade in for S22U.

Two s22 ultra exynos and no complaints
Excellent photo for a smartphone that are just good for point and click

I cannot understand that extreme Exynos bashing in 2022. Side by side comparisons (that counts!) show identical battery life and round about 5% less speed for the Exynos. Similar throttling, Exy starting with few percent less power and ending with few percent more.
SnapD Pictures have in side by side comparisons a bit more saturation, but it is hard to define what is (typically) over-saturated or normal. In few details you can see a bit more noise in Exy pictures, ok, de-noising might be an issue, but in a way really affecting picture quality? Have a look into the skies of the pics, the Exy shows more details in bright clouds.
Have you checked decentered camera lenses, this is something that happens and affects the picture quality much more and not depending on the SOC.
On the other hand, the GNSS in the Exynos model can handle carrier phase and should give more accurate positioning, but I do not have direct comparison results. I would accept 5% less CPU power to get a more accurate GPS, but I would also be fine opposite. No reason for bashing.
It seems both, the SD8g1 AND the Exy2200 lack of power efficiency, which seems to be caused by the production process location. But my S22U has 6-10h of SOT (ok for me) and there is no alternative device with that functionality (for me).

Question I plan to buy a galaxy s22 ultra, advice before buying please

Hi everyone, please I plan to buy a galaxy s22 ultra, but most videos or youtubers talk about heating or overheating, advice before buying, exynos or snapdragon or which version, thank you in advance

I don't have any issues with overheating, never have.
Just look for your best deal between Samsung or your carrier with trade-ins.

First week with this phone.
I don't have any kind of overheating.
On the other hand, battery is sort of dissapointing, it lasts the same as my older phones (mi 10, mi 9, honor 8, nexus 5). Around 6 hours of SOT give or take. And the charging is slower than mi 10/9.

whait for s23 ultra with sd 8 gen 2

Wait for the S23u with 8gen2, the 8gen1 and exy2200 are both inefficient.

I've got around 7 of these phones and out of them 3 had severe lag.
128gb seems to be the worst, higher memory seem to perform better.
Unless you are getting a bargain I'd wait for s23 ultra

Why? S23 is around the corner. From the leaks it will be much better in power efficiency, specially if you are in EU and stuck with the Exynos chip which i think sucks. I read Snapdragon takes better images and is more efficient (even if i read they get overheated also)....but much of that is fixed in the S23 that uses a updated gen2 chip.
S22U is a great phone but i'm dissapointed with battery and image quality still.
Compared to my iPhone images are a hit and miss. Sometimes they are awesome but sometimes they are grainy or colors are off or just blurry.
And as said battery drain is pretty bad. Like overnight dropping 7-8% compared to 2-3% on iphone.
Same when i use it, i can literally see the battery go down...

1. Notification bar is looking like it is a theme made 10 years ago.
2. Lagging and stutters is very possible, depends on unit to unit.
3. Phone does overheat if you planning to use an app that is a heavy resources consuption or badly optimized.
4. Samsung's devices are overfilled with bloat-ware.
5. Battery efficiency is pretty bad.
6. A lot of S22U were sent back for a replacement due to multiple hardware issues, for example mine is restarting by it self when a phone call starts (not every time) but at least few times a month.
7. Edges are not usefull at all but rather annoying.
8. Stylus has terrible grip, very uncountable to hold.
9. Speaker is terrible too, if you planning to listen to a music at full volume, stop.
10. It has very annoying notifications that are not important at all and unable to deactivate, for example (Messenger is using your mobile data).
11. Fingerprint scanner is ok but could be better, sometimes I have to touch it 3 - 5 times to get it registered (depends on angle).
I've been struggling with stutters, lags as well as audio stutters for several months until a big update came up. Scrolling through UI was extremly jerky.
Personally I would never buy a samsung's device ever again but that is just me and I understand other may be completely satisfied.
For older devices Samsung is releasing updates that are slowing the devices down so people have to buy newer products regularly. For me this is just unacceptable. This is a verified info that you can search for too.

I think it's an SOC issue on the s22u both the 8gen1 and Exy2200 are fabbed by Samsung foundries and are poor(Samsung foundries 4nm node was awful with low yields). The zfold4 with TSMC 8+Gen1 is one of the smoothest and fastest phones I've used recently, even much better than the Pixel. I don't think the issue is OneUI. I expect the S23u with the TSMC 8gen2 will be blazing fast and buttery smooth.

Might not be relevant to you, but I by now *regrett* buying the Samsung S22 Ultra.
The reason being that (depending on where you buy your phone) the firmware for your region will disable a lot of features. E.g. for me it is impossible to somehow activate the eSIM support.
And I really tried all the tweaks that are out there.
But you only notice these things after you've purchased the phone, because nothing about this is written in the manuals.
So my advice: Stay away from Samung phones.

Honestly, the s22 Ultra was a trash offering, regardless of the chipset, of course Exynos is worse. I'm trading it in for the s23 Ultra (I'm stuck with Samsung due to the purchase of a Samsung watch) and hopefully it won't be disappointing this time around. But to what I said earlier do be careful of what wearables you buy and from what brand, Samsung has great wearables, but half the features and functions usually get limited to their phones/devices. Unfortunately I didn't realise this when I bought my Galaxy Watch 4, and so now I'm stuck for at least a few years till I swap out the wearable and then the phone brand itself, probably back to Xiaomi.

I have the S22 Ultra snapdragon, great phone but some minor annoyances
. Battery it's not poor but could be better for 5000mah
. Speakers could be a bit louder
. And camera is rubbish at capturing moving subjects it always comes out blurry

I am in the same bought boat as you and bit the bullet and bought the s22 ultra 256GB. It's been 3 days since I bought it and honestly I am really satisfied. I had the z fold4 before but I found it impractical, the s22 ultra has almost the same level of performance with no noticeable downgrade. I have the snapdragon variant and it does not overheat. Battery life is OK, but it's too early to judge as it is still learning my usage patterns.
Overall I recommend buying the s22 ultra even though s23 ultra is right around the corner. Yes, it will have an effecient CPU, but I do not expect much from a single generation leap. A real upgrade would be s24 ultra as it is expected that the entire design will change

Don't plan on upgrading my S22U to the S23U. However if I were in the market for a new phone I'd wait another month and get the S23U. No brainer IMHO.

i agree with most of the reviews here. this device does not worth it.
can't believe it's actually rated as a Ultra/premium device

For all of you counting the S23U to be the perfect phone...did they not told us that the S22U was the best of the best?
Like the SD8Gen2 will solve all your problems...
I have both the S21U and S22U with the Exynos chip and both are running fine, no overheating, no lags or stutters.
From what I have read so far is that Android 13 with One UI 5.0 has improved a lot on both the S21 and S22. I had no complaints on Android 12 and have no complaints on the latest software.
Battery life...I can't complain but then I don't have any of the social media apps on my phone which seems to be using a lot of battery.
We have little to no bloatware on the EU versions and even then this is a one time solution, delete the bloatware.
At the end of the day its ONLY a phone. There are far more important things in life than this.

Yes, year to year I read about unveiled best and a lot of better from year old flagship.
And after few months opinion/ reviews about disadvantages and even features which previous model had better. For example low durability frame S22 series, worse speaker quality compare to S20 series.

Actually yeah, it will solve a lot, the performance will actually be worth the price tag itself, which as a heavy user I actually do need, it'll solve a lot of battery drain thanks to not being an absolute power munching ****show chipset like the current exynos, oh and I'll actually be able to get decent and stable fps with graphics maxed without the phone turning into an oven. Now lets not forget other things like photography and other stuff like that s22 ultra was a flop either way, but exynos took the cherry on the top.
