Great Phone but Not Legend Level
||Posted .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.

Battery should last longer.
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Decent phone
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.It's decent. Bought to replace an iphone and the biometrics are not comparable. Bluetooth drains battery a good bit by comparison. It's a bit larger than the iphone 13 mini if size matters to you. Otherwise it's a good phone. I highly recommend a screen protector (even though mine makes fingerprint reading a pain at times) and case to go along with it.

Overall Pleased With The Base S22
||Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.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.

Q: QuestionFor pre orders when would i be able to pick up the phone in stores?
Asked by gabs.
- A:Answer 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!
