So I did what all the commentators advised against, updated to a S22 ultra from a S21 ultra.
The discounts available now are too big to ignore, and I find updating to the latest phone is always cheapest a few months before its replacement. Paradoxically the opposite of what I used to when buying Apple phones, which I always had delivered on release day.
Anyway, I can say this was well worth an upgrade, key things are:
1. Nicer shape
2. Sharper screen (although the specs just quote a refresh rate upgrade, its obviously a new panel version)
3. Pen is actually really useful, and not jsut for 9 year old to play on
Especially for highlighting screen captures and photos, e.g. for ebay adverts
4. Speed uplift is not major but noticeable
5. I now have 512gb version - cool!
6. Although camera has same lenses, they seem again to be sharper with slightly better low light, so perhaps the sensors are new incremental version
7. Might be my imagination but I think the fingerprint and face recognition are faster
Anyway, I am very happy I took the decision. The trade in and upgrade was handled very nicely directly by Samsung in a store in London, UK
