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.

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.

Love the color. Decent size for me. Works perfectly camera looks nice. Overall phone is what I was looking for
This review is from Samsung - Galaxy S22 256GB (Unlocked) - Phantom White
A:Unlock means the can be activated through any carrier and that the phone isn't tied to just one specific carrier you can use it for any carrier you desire programming can cost money but usually is free with activation
A:I just spoke with a local Best Buy because I had the question too of when it's stock and they said it's because Samsung didn't send them enough so there's about 30% or more of people who did not receive their order yet. They said next week or the week after they should have more in. Hope this helps!

A:Best buy has to activate it while youre in the store or you pay the full price. So if you dont have a contract and you dont want to start one then it will cost the full price.
