It looks like a Note, has a slot for the S Pen like a Note and carries across many of the features most would associate with a Note.

The 4nm processor (in our test phone it’s the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset – UK or Australia will get Samsung’s own Exynos 2200 chipset. lens, Dual Pixel focussing and OIS, though that has been usurped by the even bigger 200-megapixel sensor on the newer S23 Ultra. The new design for the camera sensors has them sticking out, so the phone rocks a lot when you perch it on a table. I mentioned concerns about battery capacity in my hands-on with the Galaxy S22, but I didn’t have the same qualms here and I have generally found the endurance on par with Galaxy S21 Ultra. It can feel a little like you’re no longer in control of the lens, but it does do a good job of countering your shaky hands.Lance Ulanoff makes frequent appearances on national, international, and local news programs including Live with Kelly and Ryan, Fox News, Fox Business, the Today Show, Good Morning America, CNBC, CNN, and the BBC.

Google Pixel phones rely more on computational power than raw megapixels to deliver fantastic images, and the results must be seen to be believed.
