Since turning it on for the first time I often notice overheating in the upper area under the cameras. It does this very often when it is empty or when I use heavy apps like Call of Duty mobile .. has anyone noticed something similar? It seems absurd to me that such a phone will overheat like this
Sorry to hear that your phone is overheating.
Except when installing the phone the first time, i did not have any problems with it heating up. I dont use have apps so can't help you with that ( most heavy app i use is prob Clash of clans haha)
Unfortunately, that is the 888. Only real solution is to decrease the settings on "heavy" games and take breaks.
I have the same issue. My sister and cousin have the phone also but neither is experiencing it. I don't play games or watch videos on the phone. I only use it for calls, messaging, and online shopping so there is no reason for it to happen. I called to get a replacement. Hopefully the new device will not have the same issue.
Oh perfect! So if I replace I resolve?

I don't know how anybody would expect this very compact phone to not get hot with intensive tasks. It shouldn't get hot with light usage, though. Also try using Samsung browser instead of chrome if it gets hot when browsing.
I noticed mine getting awful hot the other day while using Android Auto on my car stereo with it in my pocket in my shirt, got so hot I had to take my phone out my pocket and put it in my cup holder. I noticed it getting hot also while watching Youtube videos at the house also, it wasn't in my pocket against my body though so it wasnt really that big a deal! LOL!

This is correct. Let's just be happy Samsung didn't put the SD888+ in the phone. The SD888 already had thermal problems. Can only imagine the SD888 being hotter from being overclocked.
Its not overheating, its getting hot. Android OS will shut down and give a warning when overheating. If your not using a case you will notice a lot more than a previous phone with a case installed. Its a CPU and GPU that creates heat. Its normal to get hot during high intensive cpu/gpu use and or when charging. It also tends to get hot when setting up for 1st time and transferring data from an old device.

I think you may have missed the point trying to correct the wording. The 888 gets significantly hotter than even the previous 865+ performing the same tasks. The issue is that what used to be just a bit warm is now hot and one warm day will easily push that into overheating. The performance increase may not justify the difference, which is where a lot of people will have an issue.

Ive been using mine in 90* weather gaming, videos, etc... and have had the same warm/hot feeling I got with my s10+. I have yet to have overheating. I didnt see anyone mention the OS shutting down due to regular use and overheating but I could be mistaken. Being that I have been overclocking PC's, phones for 20 years the heat I am getting from my Flip 3 seems pretty normal.

I understand the point you are trying to make, but Android has not existed for 20 years. Anything before the G1 is irrelevant. That said, you also have to discard anything you used that wasn't Snapdragon, since Qualcomm and Mali (or others) are simply not the same thing.
Now that you are looking at a much less impressive list of past devices, you have to consider that you aren't actually overclocking and the 888 is currently capped. You also have to consider that the 888 does perform much more efficiently, so it may even seem cooler than an S10+ when doing the same basic tasks. After all, the 855 was known for getting hot and is now two generations back in terms of performance. When you notice the heat is when you run things the S10+ would struggle to handle.
The problem I was actually pointing out was comparing the 865+ and 888. The 865+ clocks higher than the 888, but the 888 runs significantly hotter. Running the same games on an 865+ and an 888 will yield higher temperature from the 888, but only marginal performance improvement. The question is what happens when you try to run the 888 at its full capabilities?

Again its hot but NOT overheating. Anyways where I messed up in replying here is I thought I was in the Fold thread and NOT Flip. LOL. The Fold with its bigger chassis probably handles the heat a lot better. My daughter has the Flip and has not mentioned that it gets hot, but I now want to play with it.
And a side note I have been doing mobile device repair since the iphone was released and have worked on every snapdragon phone pretty much ever made.

I never said it was overheating, either. I said it has a much higher potential to overheat and environmental temperature will have a greater impact on it.
I've also been repairing phones since long before the iPhone, so I apologize that those credentials don't have more weight.
In all honesty, this 888 is much tamer than some. Take a look at the ROG Phone 5. You can melt an igloo running YouTube with that.

Anyone had the LG G Flex 2 with the 810? That thing got hot just being on the homescreen.
The Flip3 is nowhere near that and a non-issue heat wise for me. Especially now that I have the strap case where I don't notice it at all.

I honestly think Samsung did some behind the scenes limitations on it. The ROG Phone 5 and Z Flip 3 are both the 888, but there is a much larger performance gap than just a few minor software optimizations.

Yes samsung limit big core and prime core even when gaming pubg , wild rift , mobile legend. I jist finish an hour game pubg and see the result of big core and prime core even when running demanding game. Samsung does not fully utilize big and prime core. Most of its task use small core. Big and prime deep sleep very deep. Gpu will not run over 500mhz
I have the same issue when using Android Auto with it. Overheats to the point that music starts stuttering and then AA just shuts off completely. T-Mobile is sending me a replacement but the lady at the store said her friend had the exact same issue. I don't game or do anything that would require the SD888 to go nuts.
i got mine to overheat after a long video call with usb power on a somewhat hot day, had to close camera and give it a sec to cool down.
honestly its not terrible, but it does heat up more than regular phones. during regular use its fine imo
Hey guys, welcome to review of samsung m12. I am using this smartphone as my daily drive since 31 October 2021.
.
Let's start :-
Weight and thickness- On paper, it's weight and thickness seens to be a lot but Samsung has somehow managed to a very good weigh destination and it feels normal in hand
Cameras- Primary and ultra wide camera are awesome. One can click really fantastic photos with it. But the rest 2 cameras are kind of trash.
Display- it's display is gorgious but las a bit less brightness
SoC- there is a huge confusion between it's soc but on my testing it's just good
Battery- it has a very large battery. It can easily cover 1.5 days in mixed usage

Samsung's Galaxy S22 Series Is a Low-Signal Beast
If you frequently have trouble staying connected to your carrier's network, the Samsung Galaxy S22 series might be the solution. In testing, Samsung's Galaxy S22+ and S22 Ultra phones significantly outperformed their predecessors (as well Google's latest Pixel phones) in low-signal situations.
Ohhh nice. I like this. A lot of my cell usage is in poor service environments.
you should add that it is about the Snapdragon version for a specific chip that is integrated by Qualcomm; Samsung had probably other priorities for Exynos

I think the software is beta like...cause the phone will release in 10 days and many reviewers have stutter bugs and something like that. Do you have a pocture of yout phone? Which colour?
It's the phantom black version, 12/256 exynos version (I'm in Italy).
I was thinking the same thing, I also have this glitch where the screen turns off when you're browsing the apps (just like you would double tap on the home screen to lock the phone) and the other screen glitch with the purple pixelated stripe popping up when touching the fingerprint scanner, I think I fixed that one by using a normal photo as the lock screen wallpaper instead of the animated wallpaper though

I'll reserve my judgement until it gets here around the 25th. Besides, these are brand spanking new phones so will definitely need a bunch of tweaks and updates.
I've only watched a few Youtube reviews but maybe it's the ones I watch. They all loved the phone.

I can vouch for this as I have seen similar reports and tests on the Exynos version being slow and battery life less than the s21U. So this isn't Trolls we're dealing with it's actually happening. So don't dismiss people so easily just because they are new and only have a few posts.
The article didn't mention the smaller s22 explicitly. Hopefully it has the same connection qualities.
Notice that they're referring to the US Snapdragon model, which uses an all new X65 modem. It's unclear how the Exynos model performs. If the Exynos modem is anything like the modem in the Pixel 6 Pro, reception might just be good instead of great.

Hope this isnt the case...my oneplus 7t pro had better reception than my s21 ultra and hoped with the s22u this will change :/
Early opinion of the Exynos S22 Ultra is that mobile data throughput is not significantly different to Exynos S21 series and Pixel 6 Pro modem. It may be slightly more balanced in low signal areas though - one bar performance is a bit more 'consistent'.
A new modem was my main reason for upgrading. I'll testing performance against a S10+ tomorrow, which will be interesting. The S10+ outperforms the Exynos S21 Ultra with 4G, consistently.
So I've got a Snapdragon S22U/512GB, and it def seems like the phone performs better in low service environments vs my old Note 10+ 5G
So easy to lie online
I know, I know, there are already other threads but this phone deserves them all: worst phone I've ever had in 13 years og Android devices.
So many micro-lags that make this phone un-usable: my 4 year old Pixel 4 runs better.
It's not a matter of speed or or power, it's a micro-lag problem that's so annoying and frustrating...
When on charge o connected to Android Auto things are even worst!!!
What specs S22U?
Specs? It's the Exynos model as per Subject.
8mb or 12mb ram etc specs
my s22 ultra 12/512 is perfect no lag (micro?) 50/55 hours battery no disconnection and is an italian exynos
most people with problems use apps with terrible use of background

Could you describe in which apps you see those micro-lags and is it at playbacks or scrolling or whatever?
And if you have the 8/128GB or an 12/256+GB version would be interesting.
I have the 8/128 version.
Lags are everywhere, not in a specific app.
- Open Chrome, click on search bar and keyboard takes that little longer to show up
- Open contact app, click on a contact to start call and callscreen takes that little longer to show up
- swiping left or up from edges is a trial and error
According to many articles it's GPU throttling...
Oh and keyboard is impossible to use, toomany typos due to wrong key...

The 12/512 is pretty usable and not as bad as that at all but it is a bit stuttery and laggy Tbh it has similar performance to the P6P I had.

It seems the 8GB/128GB models (both Exynos and SD) are having these problems. Except for the keyboard issue. I am having some of the same issues on my S22 Ultra (12GB/512GB SD) and Tab S7. Which is weird because I use Swiftkey not the default Samsung keyboard.

I think that's a Twitter app issue. I have the 12GB/512GB SD model and I get a slight lag using the Twitter app.
12/256Gb UK model here, no problems at all with lag - cannot fault the phone tbh
Mine (exynos 12/256) unfortunetly too have sometimes lags and sometimes working very good- it's just lottery. For example yesterday after making only few photos phone just freezing for almost 1 min when i tryied exit from app.
I like this phone but software is all the time unstable. My almost 2 year fold 2 running smooth and stable all the time. Even my previous Note 9 running without similar unstable behavior via 2 years.
So i waiting for next and maybe next update for i hope more stable working.

The Snapdragon variant is no sweetheart.
It may have unsolvable chipset hardware issues.
For a 4um form factor chipset it's not doing so well with efficiency to the point where Samsung initially used throttle limiting by default because of thermal issues. The chipset is well heat piped/sinked in the S22U so that's not the cause.

Same problem on Xiaomi 12 Pro: I work with Xiaomi for device acceptance in H3G markets, and we got some delays on 12 Pro acceptance due to thermal issues, yet Snapdragon runs more smoother than exynos. The Xiaomi 12 Pro with snapdragon runs smooth and fast compared to s22u with exynos, trust me... (and Xiaomi has its sw bugs, yet runs better)

It maybe in part because of other chipsets, peripherals or circuitry differences. Too big of a rush and not enough prototype testing...
Samsung is surrounded by their own dropped balls at this point. Almost 3 years of dud flagships now... I'm not impressed.
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.

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.

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.
