Both have been superseded by the newer Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra but the S22 series remains a tempting buy, especially with heavy discounts now that they’re technically ‘old’. I noticed this high-level performance in everyday use, too, where the S22 was snappy and smooth-performing everyday tasks on apps, while gaming was also impressively powerful. Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Flip3 5G are rated as IPx8. IPx8 is based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. Not advised for beach or pool use. Not dust resistant. S Pen Pro and S Pen Fold Edition sold separately. Only use the Samsung S Pen Pro or the S Pen Fold Edition designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen. Memory size - User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the phones features.

Display Size: Measured diagonally, Galaxy S22's screen size is 15.39cm (6.1") in the full rectangle and 14.99cm (5.9") with accounting for the rounded corners, Galaxy S22+'s screen size is 16.65cm (6.6") in the full rectangle and 16.21cm (6.4") with accounting for the rounded corners and Galaxy S22 Ultra's screen size is 17.31cm (6.8") in the full rectangle and 17.25cm (6.8") with accounting for the rounded corners; actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and camera hole.

Network : The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider Small phones such as this (it measures 146 x 70.6 x 7.6mm) have both their supporters and detractors. Some prefer the ease with which they can be used, particularly one-handed, while others miss the big-screen experience offered by the more sizeable handsets. I took a little time to adjust to the S22’s smaller dimensions, having come from using big-screen smartphones; but it soon felt natural and manageable, and I only really missed the larger display when playing mobile games. Proximity Sensor, Hall Effect Sensor, Light Sensor, Gyroscope Sensor, Accelerometer (G-Sensor), Magnetometer, Barometer, Fingerprint Sensor For example, there’s the edge menu that brings up a selection of recently used apps for ease of access. In addition, when taking photos of documents, you’ll receive a prompt to “scan” it, so you can cut neatly around the document if you wish to share it. Such additions aren’t game changers, but they do add some extra usefulness. Battery

HDR, Panorama, Stereo Recording, Bokeh Mode, AI Features, Night Mode, Scene Detection, Slow Motion, Time Lapse As you may already know, the UK models feature a different chipset than the American and Chinese models in the name of Exynos 2200 rather than Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Both series of chipsets are developed by Samsung, but there can sometimes be slight differences in performance between them. Regardless, Samsung promises up to 5% better processing performance for routine tasks whereas the graphics performance has seen a 40% bump and, impressively, the neural processing unit's performance gains are around an astounding 130%. This means the phone will certainly perform better than S21 and it will be significantly smarter in many cases like battery management. Battery Capacity: Could Have Been BetterBattery Capacity (Typical): Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated (minimum) capacity is 3590mAh for Galaxy S22, 4370mAh for Galaxy S22+ and 4855mAh for Galaxy S22 Ultra. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors.

Galaxy Z Fold3 5G and Z Filp3 5G is rated as IPX8. IPX8 is based on test conditions for submersion in up to 1.5 meters of freshwater for up to 30 minutes. Not advised for beach or pool use. Not dust resistant. The ultrawide lens, which offers a 120-degree field of view, does suffer some distortion that’s particularly noticeable around the edges; nevertheless, it remains a useful addition to your camera’s arsenal, for those needing to fit a lot more into the frame.

You aren’t missing out on much by not opting for the newer Galaxy S23 either, with the same general build, design and display tech as the S22. Camera Memory size - User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the smartphone features. Network: The bandwidths supported by the device may vary depending on the region or service provider. Part of Samsung’s trio of flagship models for 2022, in reality the Samsung Galaxy S22 is the most modest of the three, being the smallest in size and featuring triple rear camera sensors to the S22 Ultra’s quadruple offering. In the end, for my level of typical use I found it necessary to keep the phone on Power Saving mode at all times. This caps the phone’s performance and the brightness of the screen to extend battery life; but this really isn’t something you’d expect to have to do with your brand-new flagship phone, which you may well have bought in part because of these very specs.

Display Size: Measured diagonally, Galaxy S22's screen size is 6.1" in the full rectangle and 5.9" with accounting for the rounded corners, Galaxy S22+'s screen size is 6.6" in the full rectangle and 6.4" with accounting for the rounded corners and Galaxy S22 Ultra's screen size is 6.8" in the full rectangle and 6.8" with accounting for the rounded corners; actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners and camera hole. The chipset onboard the Samsung Galaxy S22 is an Exynos 2200, which is Samsung’s effort at a flagship-level chipset; in markets outside of Europe, the S22 totes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor instead. For reference, this is the last time Samsung has done this chipset split with the newer S23 sporting the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset worldwide. User Available Memory : User memory is less than the total memory due to storage of the operating system and software used to operate the device features. Actual user memory will vary depending on the operator and may change after software upgrades are performedThe resolution is 1080p, which isn’t the highest but still seems adequate for sharpness; images and text are clear, but they’re not dazzling in their detail. While the cameras of the Galaxy S22 are slightly better overall, there are some interesting things to note here as not the entire module is an upgrade over the previous model and there are some unexpected downgrades with some sensors. The overall sensor design is superior in the S22, which is always great to see - the main lens goes from 12 MP to 50 MP too. But then the telephoto lens goes from 64 MP to 10 MP for some unknown reason. At least the optical zoom is now bumped up to 1.3x here from 1.1x. We know that megapixels aren't everything, but it's still a huge drop in photo resolution. Still, the overall photo quality is very satisfying. For their enthusiasts, the Single Take and Dual View modes are still here too. Images shown here are for representational purpose only, actual may vary.
