got excited with the phone at the begging, flat screen, 120haz refresh, 1300 nits, snapdragon 8 Gen 1, and 256 GB storage, this is a monster phone on paper, photos are beautiful, and the screen is big a bright with a little punch hole on the top. but the love ended quickly with that battery duration, in less than 6 hours my phone goes from 100 to 5%, and battery life is horrible, I have basically been carrying a battery bank everywhere I go, as I ran out of battery pretty fast, I have 2 SIMS attached to it, I have turned off the 120hz, basically all the notifications, the always-on display, Bluetooth, NFC, and barely improved 15-20% the battery life, definitely I will get rid of this phone as soon as i have some budget.

Phone is pretty decent but I still can't get past all the Samsung bloatware. Android is usually a fast operating system but with all the added Samsung features it feels sluggish at times. Phone hardware is really high end however and the camera is great.

love the color.. I upgraded from the S10. The camera is great besides that I don't see much of a difference. I had to disable the 5G. It was just horrible to function with it on..

Coming from S10e i prefer S10e. Battery life wasnt good on S22 and it got warm for no reason during normal use. I bought an open box excellent and it arrived with a deep scratch on the screen, some sticky stuff on the side of the phone. It was also missing the usb c cable which in the condition listed was supposed to include. Sent it back after testing for a few days and will keep using my S10e. S10e goes slow sometimes when multitasking and S22 was much faster but having 5 hrs battery life on the S22 is useless and doesnt have microSD slot or MST. Hoping Samsung will make another e variant someday as I dislike the huge screens now days S22 was great size. Dislike in screen finterprint reader as well. S10e fingerprint reader in power button is best. Tried Google Pixel 6a and it has too many bugs and lacks simplicity that Samsung has like Pixel keeps wanting pin after fingerprint unlock every 20th or so time.

Great Phone but Not Legend Level

Nice phone. Actually it's an awesome phone, compact enough as it is considered comparable to a Galaxy S10e. However, it may not be a major upgrade from the S10e nor its predecessor Galaxy S21 or S21 FE, but it is a nice phone with a more premium look and a considerably upgraded camera.
The S22 is very similar, almost identical, in it's physical size as the S10e; S22 146 x 70.6 x 7.6 mm vs S10e 142.2 x 69.9 x 7.9 mm.
It has 256GB internal storage and 8GB RAM, just as the S10e 256GB variant, but no external storage, such as MicroSD, no 3.5mm headphone/audio jack, and no physical biometrics sensor. It does have a better, brighter display with 120Hz refresh rate, up to 1500 nits, and 19.5:9 screen ratio, though with 425 ppi. Screen size is 6.1 inches, which is smaller than the S22 (6.2") and S22 FE (6.4") but larger than the S10e (5.8").
Battery life seemed to be underperforming. Even though it's a bigger battery, battery life is slightly longer than the S10e's. More power consumption is partly due to the 120 Hz refresh rate screen.
Its camera image quality is good overall. Good saturation though overexposure of images is present, such as more dynamic and vibrant colors where colors will look less natural, all of which is common with Samsung's cameras, especially with a lot of software assistance on the camera.
Unlike the other variants (S22+, S22 Ultra), the S22 doesn't have WiFi 6e.
Fast charger is sold separately. (No charger is included).
For in-screen biometrics, Samsung did a great job on its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Though not as perfect or as fast as a physical fingerprint sensor, it is well above the likes of an optical fingerprint sensor.
Overall, a nice phone. Processing time seemed equivalent with the S10e, at times faster and slower than the S10e. It's still a nice phone. However, for some it may not be a major upgrade for those coming from previous Galaxy S series S10 and later, while for some others, it may.
For me at least, if the S22 came onboard with either a larger internal storage, at least 512GB, or expendable storage microSD slot, it may have been a worthy upgrade, and 5 stars. Plus a physical biometrics sensor as its side power/lock button, would really be golden.

Bought the S22 when AT&T wouldn't let me use my new OnePlus 9 phone. While it didn't have the hassleblad camera, it had a good camera with good stabilization. Processing speed is good as well at the memory. This may have me coming back to Samsung's flagship models. The only complaint is the battery life, was spoiled with the one plus battery life.

Upgraded my phone from an S10 to an S22 and I'm overall satisfied. I opted for the smaller model as I prefer how it feels in my hand over the more powerful albeit larger phones. The pictures are sharp, the phone feels snappy with the improved refresh rate and stronger CPU. I'm happy with the phone but my only concern so far is a common one, the battery. The battery makes it through the day which meets my purposes but I was hoping it would last longer as I use my phone minimally with very little gaming. I was hoping to be able to go a day and a half to two days without a charge but it is what it is.

The phone is an easily handled size, not as big as the others in the S22 family. The camera takes sharp photos, and the 5G signal reception is very good. However, it would be better if the battery lasted longer before needing charging. I don't play that many games on it and don't look at the phone all day like some do, yet it is often down to 25% or less by the end of the day. Nevertheless, I am generally satisfied with the Galaxy S22.

Powerful phone and great camera. The galaxy s22 did not disappoint upgrading from the note 10. The phone is fast and had no issues for a year now. Camera takes stunning shots
If you had a note and moved to the s22 or 23, i recommend getting the bigger one as this is smaller and causes me issues with typing

I upgraded from a Galaxy S8 and have been using the S22 for several months now. I'm one of the few who actually prefers a smaller flagship phone so the 6.1" screen has been perfect for me so far.
Pros:
- OLED screen with 120 hz is incredible. Whether it's browsing the web, watching videos or playing games, the experience has been one of the best on a mobile device.
- Camera. The quality that comes out without any editing continues to amaze me.
- Size. Again, I prefer smaller flagship phones and this fits in my front pockets without sticking out.
- Battery. I know some people have complained about the smaller battery size but this hasn't been an issue for me. Light browsing, business calls, listening to podcasts and texting throughout the day still leaves me with plenty of charge throughout the day.
Cons:
- Heat. It does get a bit warm when recording video or gaming so something to keep in mind.
- Lack of headphone jack. While disappointing, it's understandable as most phone companies ditch the headphone jack.

This is upgrade from Samsung Galaxy S9. Faster, better camera. The only think is the phones manufacturers continue the trend to save money on you: no headphones jack and head phones, no charger, no micro sd slots.

Received the phone in the mail faster than expected. Phone works with my sim card and my carrier's mobile service with no issues so far. Phone is good for being the latest model and is an improvement over my previous phone. Bought it on sale but even with the discounted price the phone seems to be overpriced.

Coming from a Galaxy S10e this phone is sooooooo good. So snappy responsive and overall just a smooth experience. The camera is top notch. I opted for the regular S22 because of it's size. Coming from a compact phone this feels more familiar. It's not as small as the S10e but enough that it's very manageable and fits comfortably in my pocket.

Thank you. I use it at the present.
One advice to Apple:
The screen is big, but there is no border(for somebody who has long nails, for example)
