ZDNet's reviews roundup: Galaxy S22 Ultra, Dell Precision 5760, Lenovo ThinkPad P17, and more

Samsung's new Galaxy S22 Ultra could be called the Galaxy Note 22 since it is the true successor to the Note 20 from August 2020. It's a lovely piece of hardware that will appeal to fans of the S Pen. The S22 Ultra is clearly the best Android smartphone available today.

Dell's Precision 5760 offers a near bezel-free 17-inch screen with up to 4K resolution, multiple configuration options, an exceptional keyboard and very solid build quality. Downsides include a 720p webcam and moderate battery life.

The ThinkPad P17 Gen 2 is a 17.3-inch mobile workstation that can be configured with some extremely high-end specifications. However, its lack of a touch screen option, large screen bezels, bulk and weight, moderate speakers and poor battery life do it no favours.

This is an attractive and well-built Chromebook with nice design touches like the ErgoLift hinge and touchpad-integrated number pad. However, the higher-end models are expensive.

A versatile and potentially very capable business laptop. It's solidly built and offers plenty of connectivity. However, these plus points are offset by a 15.6-inch screen that's short on resolution and brightness, disappointing battery life, a basic speaker and an unrewarding keyboard.

Huawei's MateView looks impressive, both in terms of its industrial design and by virtue of its high-quality, high-resolution display. It's not perfect, of course: the 3:2 aspect ratio may not work for some, wireless projection only works with Huawei phones, and it carries a premium price tag.

The Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar is not an inexpensive watch, but it may be the last wearable you need for years. It supports an exhaustive number of activities, lasts for weeks, has a big visible display, is built to last with luxury materials, and excels in just about every respect.

With the addition of phone call support and hands-free voice assistants, the Venu 2 Plus could be considered a smartwatch. These new features, and the capability of the Garmin ecosystem, make the Venu 2 Plus an extremely compelling wearable.

People with smartwatches enjoy brilliant modern AMOLED displays, but with the Garmin Epix athletes no longer have to compromise on the display experience. There is still more from Garmin that can be added in a future Epix, but this one is our favorite sports watch of the past few years.

The Garmin Instinct 2 builds upon the success of the Instinct while slimming down a bit, offering a smaller option for more wrists, and supporting more than 240 bezel and band design combinations. It's one of the most significant software updates we have seen from Garmin.

Like much of the Nighthawk family, the M5 carries a premium price. However, you do get premium performance to go with it. Paired with an unlimited data plan, it's a good alternative to fixed-line broadband, with the added option of being portable.

The $3,995 price is higher than other bikes we've tried, but for the customer who wants a bike for commuting or riding out on the trails, then it may be just right. The first Bluejay bikes were popular and sold well, so the Bluejay Sport is likely to appeal to customers as well.
