The Galaxy S22 Ultra isn’t nearly as durable as the iPhone 13 Pro. Several falls from a meter height – the entire screen is cracked and the camera lenses are broken
A user who previously tested the Galaxy S22 Ultra for scratch and water resistance is back to testing Samsung’s new flagship. This time around, the brand new Galaxy S22 Ultra has been subjected to a series of drops onto a concrete floor. Samsung says the Galaxy S22 is the company’s toughest smartphone (so tough it doesn’t need a screen protector), but it’s been proven to be better to protect the screen with a screen protector and wrap the whole phone in a case.
Because already at the first fall from the height of the belt (about a meter), the camera lens was broken. In general, the lens glass turned out to be quite fragile. A few more falls on the concrete floor, and not only chips and scratches appeared on the screen, but also real cracks. The metal frame is easily deformed.
After several falls from a height of human height, the screen gave up. Interestingly, it did not shatter, but it stopped functioning normally. In general, the Galaxy S22 Ultra is better not to be dropped, and it is better to carry it in a case. No matter how super secure this smartphone Samsung would not consider it.
At the end of the video, the user talks about his disappointment: he did not expect that the device would receive quite serious damage after a couple of falls from a relatively small height.

Still cheaper than any other similar smartphone, but not so revolutionary. Motorola Razr and Razr Plus will be more expensive in the global market than in China
Motorola yesterday introduced foldable smartphones Moto Razr 40 and Moto Razr 40 Ultra, which turned out to be cheaper than all competitors, and the younger model even offers a revolutionary price for this segment at $560. However, these are Chinese prices, and in the global market everything is different, since new items are significantly more expensive there.
To start with, the Moto Razr 40 is called the Razr in the global market, and the Moto Razr 40 Ultra is called the Razr Plus.
In the US, apparently, only the latter will be sold at a price of $1,000. In Europe, they will already ask for 1200 euros for it. The base model Razr will be available in select countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia, but pricing has not yet been announced. It is expected that it will be around 700-800 euros. It’s still cheaper than other similar smartphones, but not as revolutionary as $560.
