As an excited tech enthusiast, I recently purchased the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 128GB, and after several weeks of extensive use, I can confidently say that this flagship smartphone is an absolute marvel.
Design and Display:
The Galaxy S22+ exudes elegance with its sleek design and a glass back that feels smooth to the touch. The metal frame provides a sturdy and premium feel in hand. The 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display is a sight to behold, delivering stunning visuals with its vibrant colors and deep blacks. The 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth scrolling and fluid animations, enhancing the overall user experience.
Performance:
Powered by the Exynos 2100 chipset (in my region), the Galaxy S22+ is a powerhouse when it comes to performance. It handles multitasking effortlessly, and demanding apps and games run without any noticeable lag. The 8GB RAM ensures that the device keeps up with my every command, providing a seamless and responsive user experience. The 128GB internal storage is more than sufficient for all my apps, media, and files.
Camera:
The camera setup on the Galaxy S22+ is exceptional. The 108MP main sensor captures highly detailed and vibrant photos in various lighting conditions. The 12MP ultra-wide lens offers a wider field of view, perfect for landscape shots and group photos. The 10MP telephoto lens delivers impressive results, especially with its 3x optical zoom and 30x Space Zoom capabilities. Low-light photography is a breeze with the enhanced Night mode, producing clear and well-exposed shots.
Battery Life:
The 4,500mAh battery in the Galaxy S22+ provides commendable endurance. With moderate use, including browsing, social media, and occasional gaming, I comfortably get through a full day without needing to recharge. The phone's adaptive power management optimizes battery usage, ensuring efficient power consumption. When it's time to recharge, the fast charging feature and the option for wireless charging offer quick and convenient ways to top up the battery.
Software and Features:
Samsung's One UI 4.0, based on Android 12, enhances the overall user experience with its clean and intuitive interface. The customizable options allow me to tailor the phone's settings to my liking, making it feel personalized and easy to navigate. Samsung's added features, such as Samsung DeX for a desktop-like experience and Knox security for data protection, have proved to be useful and valuable additions.
Connectivity and 5G:
The Galaxy S22+ supports 5G connectivity, and it makes a noticeable difference in data speeds, especially when streaming content or downloading large files. The inclusion of Wi-Fi 6E has also improved wireless connectivity, delivering faster and more stable internet connections.
Conclusion:
After using the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 128GB extensively, I am thoroughly impressed with its design, performance, camera capabilities, and battery life. It truly is a flagship marvel that lives up to its reputation. Whether you're a photography enthusiast, a power user, or simply looking for a top-tier smartphone, the Galaxy S22+ delivers on all fronts, making it a fantastic choice that doesn't disappoint.

The Samsung Galaxy S22+ is an outstanding smartphone that perfectly balances style, performance, and functionality. The 6.6-inch AMOLED display is stunning, with vibrant colors, deep contrasts, and smooth scrolling thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate. The cameras are exceptional, especially in low-light conditions, capturing crisp and detailed photos and videos. Its performance is top-notch, handling multitasking and demanding apps effortlessly with the powerful processor. The battery life comfortably lasts all day, and the fast charging is a lifesaver when you’re in a hurry. I also love the sleek design and premium build quality—it feels great in hand. Samsung’s One UI is intuitive and packed with useful features, making the overall experience seamless. Whether for work, entertainment, or photography, the S22+ excels in every way. Highly recommended!

Best buy offered me $800 to trade in my S21 for an S22+. Walked out with a new phone and a $40 gift card! S22 is a fantastic phone. Much better build quality and battery life than the 21.

This phone was locked (not new)
The screen changes from vertical to horizontal at will. Took the phone back to bestbuy and was told that it was a vendor problem. Have gone back and forth only to be sent 2 pages of instructions on how to fix problem. I am not a tech. Warning, dont buy a second party item as they can't be fixed or returned.

I am a recovering iPhone user (15 years old) who switched to Samsung about 6 months ago, because my iPhone SE battery life was abysmal, and I found the phone locked down, and freedomless. I bought this s22 plus, even though everybody has iPhones at my school, and made fun of me for wanting a Samsung. That soon changed, however, as I began saving their lives when their batteries kept dying, and they didn't have their charger by using the power share function. I even charged a pair of AirPods for my friend, and everyone in the room was wondering why you couldn't do so on Apple's own iPhone. The fact that Samsung phones have better integration with Airpods in some aspects than iPhones, should be embarrassing to Apple. There are so many different features and aspects of this phone that I love, including the camera, screen, durable construction, One UI 5, power share, superior clipboard, integration with Windows PCs, etc... The whole phone is just so well-rounded, and there really isn't anything to complain about. Everything just works how you'd expect it to. The only things I could think of are better-sounding speakers, and the ability to power share while plugged in. If you choose this phone you are essentially going to get a well-rounded option that checks all the boxes, simply does what you want it to, and will last for years to come. Samsung focused on what their customers wanted with this phone(except removing the sd card slot ): ), and every detail is there for your best interest. Although Apple has its advantages, people need to get over their iPhone loyalty and look at what other companies have to offer. If you never have an open mind, you'll never know how good an iPhone really is. I'm not saying that iPhones are complete trash, I just want to tell people about the great experience I have had with Samsung and give them the confidence to try it for themselves. Who knows, it could be the perfect fit!

Galaxy S22 Plus seems like downgrade from S20 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus - probably a downgrade from S20 +
Purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus from Best Buy in 2022 left me with a mixed bag of experiences.
On the positive side, the design of the Galaxy S22 Plus is sleek and premium, featuring a gorgeous display that's perfect for watching videos and browsing the web. The camera system also impresses with its versatility, capturing stunning photos and videos in various lighting conditions.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. One issue I encountered was with the battery life. While it's advertised as being sufficient for all-day use, I found myself needing to recharge more frequently than expected, especially with heavy usage. Additionally, the device tends to heat up during prolonged use, which can be uncomfortable and concerning.
Another area of concern is the software experience. While Samsung's One UI is generally user-friendly, I noticed occasional lag and stuttering, particularly when running multiple apps or switching between tasks. This detracts from the overall user experience and can be frustrating at times.
Additionally, the fingerprint sensor, while convenient, can be inconsistent and unreliable, often requiring multiple attempts to unlock the device. This detracts from the security and convenience that a fingerprint sensor should provide.
In conclusion, while the Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus offers impressive design and camera capabilities, there are some notable drawbacks, including subpar battery life, performance issues, and unreliable biometric features. While it may suffice for casual users, those seeking a flagship experience may want to explore other options.

Still getting used to the changes from my last phone which was a Samsung Galaxy S9 but so far really like the ease of use and increased size. Battery life seems to be better than my last phone. Also like the sleep mode which will automatically turn on and off per my schedule to save power and turn sins of and on. Haven't used camera much yet but it appears to do a great job.

I had the Pixel 6, and this phone is much, much better. The size is large enough but not too large. The battery life is decent. The thumbprint reader actually works most of the time (unlike the fingerprint reader on the Pixel 6). The phone is fast. The camera takes great pics and videos. The only downside is all the Samsung pre-installed apps and features that you may not want and cannot get rid of.

Good AND especially at price I paid, iseems BestBuy isn't a "hype" but often, in.fact, best fr Smartphones, I won't comment on other electronics/or appliances/etc but for Smartphones for years I noticed how it beats competition INCLUDING offers fm my/own carrier (Verizon) & mom's (AT&T) if you combine BestBuy promos (they're cyclical, if you wait enough you catch a deal like this S22+ I got for -$200 drop, then it went up) + BestBuy's rewards Certificates whch I accumulated much ($230+).
I got S22+ & NOT S22.Ultra which (Ultra) planned to get originally, b/c after extensive thinking having a heavy/bulky Ultra phone defies purpose as it duplicates my ultra.portable laptop/tablet, Iam an engineer & a whopping 4 computers are at my disposal at home & mobile, so a phone-tablet would be a neither good phone (heavy/large) nor good tablet (small)
ALSO, Radiation/SAR spec fr Ultra is significantly higher than S22+'s dueto to obvious antenna design/phys.body.
ALSO, beware I like (Korean) Samsung's attention to Human/User's HEALTH - Radiation/SAR specs for their devices consistently ranked low (i.e best) vs Chinese makes & vs (WORST !) Apple's iPhone, as engineers we're well-aware that Apple in chasing for "niceties" & data device, doesn't realize they hurt the primary function we get phones for - radio communication (voice/data) i.e their RF side of iPhone is bad.... vs Samsung & worse yet vs Motorola. Motorola usedto be best RF radios in their phones, my old Moto would make a voice call on FireIsland NY years ago when towers were far in mainland & scarce, whereas folks around me failed all calls from their American iPhonese & Chinese makes, I come from Motorola "fanbiy" background, & MotoDroid Maxx had GIGANTICALLY long.lasting battery (in.fact one of the reasons I strived to get it so intensely I even quit previous carrier (AT&T) to switch to Verizon which had it as an exclusive many years ago, but then Moto sold to Lenovo & that was end for me, th my ancient MotoDroid Maxx circa 2013 still works perfect voice-wise/texts (software e.g Web became somewhat crippled), and so I switched to Samsung - excellent specs, e.g display, processor, etc & similar (to Motorola) long battery in S22+ (but beware, S22.Ultra's battery lasts alittle less), good RF/radio/antenna section -> reliable voice/data, Radiation is LESS (i.e. better) thn my old/previous Motorola's & hugely less than iPhone & all Chinese makes, Etc,etc I recommend it (S22+ or Ultra), & thus I never did/& probably won't do American iPhone & never Chinese. Only thing I wish S22+ had body shape more "squarish" like S22.Ultra & older S21/20 Ultra.Note's (what was "Note" is now called Sxx "Ultra" w/pen)
In general, Samsung Galaxies in mid.range ("+") & top ("Ultra") versions are Technically well-executed, as phone (voice), data, & computing (micro.tablet) + Human Health e.g Radiation/SAR specs ar good vs competition; except one thing in recent years tho annoys me is while all I care for is a Phone voice + data, which's what these devices were created for (remember shoes for walking, car for driving... phones for phoning) but over the years Camera beacme obsession for certain "kids" - I doNOT care for extremely good camaras in ANY phone, b/c once you go over 20Mpx resolution & decent optical zoom (digital zoom is FAKE) it becomes of dubious benefit - 99.99% of us are buying these devices as Communicator, NOT as "professional photographers", it'll NEVER match pro PhotoCameras ANYWAY regardless of "impressive" pixel counts or a barrage of lenses, dueto sheer physical impossibility to fit pro extensible Lenses in a thin device like smartphone, for that (professional) you'd need a Sony/Nikon/Canon/Panasonic/Kodak DEDICATED camera, NOT a Smartphone, OBVIOUSLY (!!) but inexplicably phones manufacturer's are increasingly wasting efforts & burdening them w/this huge baggage, 2, 3, 4, 5.... lenses & mostly unusable resolutions that makesense only if you enlarge a photo to giant or say 2-storey building height all this on COMMUNICATOR devices ?, like we're dying to make world-class photos & yet lose phone calls & get irradiated by excess RF into our brains (ref to iPhone Max), so other than manufacturer's increasing obsession/annoyance of camera cornucopia, these ar fantatsic devices & S22+/(or Ultra, I planned originally) is a decent transition for me from Motorola to Samsung
P.S a) The price at BestBuy & after a -$200 promo & Rewards Certificates was such that several people asked "how did you "tricked" so cheaply ? BestBuy is best for these devices, I won't comment abt other stuff...
b) Before buying online/BestBuy, went to several phys.stores (incl BB) & played w/S22.Ultra (S21.Ultra, S20.Note.Ultra in past years) in person/physically focusing on abiity to control display brightness/contrast to minimal for dark.rooms (e.g IT rooms at my design shop/work)/nigth usage & someone w/good eyes whch I happen to own, ability to set perfect Dark/HighContrast modes & custom Black themes, ability to filter.off harmful Blue light emitted by xLED incl OLED & LED-backlit LCD's, etc, Etc,etc - ALL these ar available & work perfectly in Samsung S21/22+ & Ultra settings, the comfort/eahlth of display I was able to set in phys.stores was stunning, I immediately went online & ordered fm BestBuy The other devices in stores weren't as good, some even cause headache if you stare into them for hours & hours whole day.... whichI admit happens here...
P.P.S. No spell.check - tiny keyboard at 4AM (night) in darkness/tired/typing ultra.fast
