Good but with some annoyance.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the S22 because of the compact size. I will start with the negatives because they need to be noted. Battery life and speaker are sub par. I occasionally get crackling when listening to music or speaking to people on the phone which is a known issue for this phone. I expected the battery life to be sub par because I read reviews but it really is pretty bad. I am getting about 5 hours or 5.5 hours of on screen time and my old S9 got me about 9 hours which wasn't great but acceptable. The phone is fast and receptive but honestly about the same as my old S9 during my speed check which was a shocker. The S22 is harder to hold compared to my S9 which has a more modern curved screen and not quite as wide. I would prefer the phone to be longer but less wide and clunky because it is easier to hold. I have small hands and early on set arthtitis. I also prefered the shape of the S9 which has made me consider upgrading to the S22+ which is a little longer but less wide so it would probably be easier to hold and the battery is slightly better too but I'm not sure if it warrants the $200 price increase. Honestly the issues leaves a lot to be desired for the cost. I also feel like the screen just feels more fragile. Camera advancements are the biggest benefit. The speaker is louder then my old phone but quality of the speakers aren't great. I was expecting more advancements in technology. This being said, the camera is pretty amazing. Portrait mode can be a hit or miss but for the most part the camera is soooo great. I love it so much, I may just keep the phone and deal with the negatives but I haven't decided. Photography is important to me and I think most could agree that Samsung did a great job here. The 3x optical zoom is great and I've been able to zoom in at 10-20x and get decent pictures and that is impressive. Video stabilization is great but video's at 3x zoom can be a hit or miss depending on the lightning. The camera can be improved in some areas but for the most part I'm impressed. I'm also getting more stable images with moving objects compared to my old phone. I actuality feel like the S9 took really great photos and in some ways is still better then the S22 but with so many advancements with the optical zoom feature and the front facing camera is also a lot better then my old phone. I feel like you really can get very close to dslr images with the S22 but It's just a small step up from 3-5 year old phones. The phone charges super fast which is definitely needed so this is another benefit. In all fairness if you have an S8-S9 I would wait to switch. The price doesn't warrant the upgrade but this is just my personal opinion. The biggest benefit is the camera and I'm just not sure that It's worthy of upgrading. As a matter of fact when I'm at home using wifi I still pick up my old S9 to stream social media because it just feels better in hand to hold. Definitely more comfortable to hold and part of this may be the clunker of a case so I may try and switch this out. I remember when the S1 came out and it was such a huge advancement in technology but honestly we haven't had that many advancements in the past 10 years. This is a great phone all in all but for the price, I was just expecting a little more. 3.5-4 stars but I will rate 4 stars. So far, I haven't seen any major issues but the ones I've experienced are a little annoying. In some ways I regret buying and in some ways I enjoy the phone, mostly for the camera. I haven't quite decided if I am going to exchange it for another phone. I will add some photos I've taken with the phone and let you decide.

Fantastic quality and speed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Samsung flagship series phones are always great and this one doesn't disappoint. Exceptional speed, great cellular reception, good camera, perfect size of you want something that will easily fit in any pocket. I have a hard phone case on this for added protection, but it's a sturdy phone with gorilla glass. Call quality and clarity is fantastic. There seems to be a lot of programs running in the background which means heavy use of the phone brings the battery life down to 12 hours. Heavy use would be streaming, gaming or web browsing non-stop. If used every few hours for these things it will last all day, but still would be nice to have more battery life. Standby time is greater than 24hr.

Good phone, but prefer Apple
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The display, battery life, and photo quality are great, but I'm not satisfied with navigating the apps and the settings. It is confusing and not intuitive to me. It's not very easy to save passwords how you intend to. I find Apple iphones to be superior in this regard. When considering features and pricepoints, I would choose Apple if I had to do it over again. Not a bad phone at all though.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionWill this phone work with Spectrum mobile?
Asked by Miss9.
- A:Answer Hello, The unlocked S22 will work with Spectrum Mobile. I literally just purchased this exact model two weeks ago- unlocked - from Best Buy. I also have Spectrum Mobile. You will need to get a new sim card from Spectrum via one of their retail stores. Steer clear of the Spectrum location on Fayetteville Rd in Lumberton, NC. Since I work in Lumberton I popped into that location to get my service moved from my S8 to my new S22. I was told my phone was not compatible. It was a 2-hour nightmare. The staff gave me a sheet of paper and told me first that they couldn't do it. I would have to call their support line listedon the sheet I was given and to follow the printed instructions. I work in IT and I am always troubleshooting situations. Something inside told me I am about to jump through unnecessary hurdles. I went to my truck (parked next to this Spectrum office) and called the number. The agent on the phone told me I needed a new sim card and she also stated the agent in the store could have moved my service.So, I asked if she would be my guide and stay on the phone with me. She was more than happy to do so. I went back in the store and approached the same agent. I also stated I have a Spectrum agent on the phone (I was using my work cell phone for that call - freeing up my personal S22 phone). The in-house agent tapped on her keyboard and later said, "This phone is not compatible." I had my work phone in speaker mode and the agent on the phone was professional and stated, "His phone is compatible because I checked the IMEI number on it already." The phone agent stated that I was to be given a replacement sim card too. The in-house staff member refused to do it, stating I couldn't leave the store with the sim card not being activated. Well, it turned into a mess. The in-house Spectrum agent ended up pairing a new sim card to my S8, which already had working service. That was not the goal at hand and that lady was simply not paying attention. I walked over to the manager, explained the situation, and the Spectrum agent on the phone stated to him what needed to be done. He, too, would not let me leave the store with another replacement sim card. So, I expressed I would just sit on their makeshift couch of theirs and let the lady on the phone do her magic. The plot thickened. The lady on the phone stated that someone in the store is still actively viewing my account, thus, she couldn't make the required changes. I walked up to the first agent I had spoken with, explained the scenario, and she claimed she was not in my account. It took 3 more attemps to get that agent at her station to verify she was not in my account. The agent on the phone told me to get the manager. The manager was then told to check that computer station to verify my account was not being accessed. He said it is not open. That was wrong. The Spectrum agent on the phone had to educate the manager on how to log out of their own system and restart it. He was clueless on how to do it. Finally, the Spectrum agent on the phone could make the changes to my account and move my service to the new sim card. I remained cool, calm, and collective throughout this entire event. The Spectrum agent on the phone even expressed that my customer service as the customer was exceptional. Hey, kill them with kindness I always say. To add some icing on this event, I walked up to the Spectrum agent who stated my phone was incompatible and said, "I just want to thank you for your assistance and to let you know the agent on the phone has successfully moved my service to my S22. In summary, the answer to your question is "yes." I only added the back-story for my situation so that you can be prepared in the event you run into the same scenario. If I didn't have the Spectrum agent with me on the phone, I would have instinctly went back to Best Buy stating they had sold me the wrong phone - not being unlocked. I would have looked stupid in the long run. So, tread caredully with the transitioning of your Spectrum service to your S22. Hopefully, I have provided helpful information. C. Malone Fayetteville, NC.
