Live sharing host is available only to S22 Series and Tab S8 Series users at product launch and will be provided to other Galaxy device users with Android S OS later on. Participants may need to upgrade to the latest Duo app to use live sharing. Google Duo is a trademark of Google LLC.Firstly, of course, the Plus has a bigger screen — 6.6 inches versus the S22’s 6.1 inches. That means watching videos and playing games will be a better experience on the Plus than on its smaller sibling. FHD+ is fine for most tasks though, as only select streaming services or games offer content that’s a higher resolution than that anyway. There’s also a refresh rate of 120Hz, which means motion looks pretty smooth when you’re swiping between menus or playing games. Developed in collaboration with Google, the Galaxy S22 range will get Google Duo video-calling app in-built with the phone. This allows users to make video calls, use live sharing support, and make the most by collaborating with others using Samsung Notes and Gallery. At 6.6”, the screen is noticeably bigger than the standard S22, which means it’s a lot better for playing mobile games, watching Netflix while travelling, or multitasking with different apps on a split-screen. So if you enjoy getting more out of your smartphone, you’ll certainly get more from the S22 Plus. While the biggest difference comes with revamped cameras and a slight tweak to dimensions to make the Galaxy S22 and S22+ fit the same screen into a smaller form factor.

Videography with the Galaxy S22 is a breeze, as you can use the pro-grade camera to record blur less, stable videos. In addition, the OIS correction angle works with faster motion sampling than its predecessors and helps you get Super HDR videos with 64x more color, even at night time.The S22 and S22 Plus are largely the same, except for the larger screen size and battery. But the S22 Ultra is a highly premium handset, boasting the best technology that Samsung has to offer in a smartphone. At the moment, Samsung's Galaxy S22 phones are effectively the only true Android flagships available in the US, because they're the only ones with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and X65 modem. The OnePlus 10 Pro may soon arrive with the same specs, while Samsung is likely to launch a Flip and a Fold this fall with the latest hardware, and Motorola might be up to something as well. But until something unseats them, the S22 phones are the ones to beat. Power Adapter, 45W Power Adapter and data cable sold separately. Using the original Samsung 45W Power Adapter and data cable is recommended for Galaxy S22+. Using the original Samsung 25W Power Adapter and data cable is recommended for Galaxy S22.

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. The S22 Ultra, on the other hand, has the best battery life in the lineup, a 10x camera, and a built-in slot for the included S Pen stylus. It's also huge, heavy, and expensive. The S22 Ultra is the natural (and worthy) successor to Samsung's Galaxy Note series, a lineup that had loyal fans (including my wife, an artist). The S22 Ultra should appeal most to that same audience.The Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus comes with Android 12, with Samsung’s One UI laid over the top. At the S22 launch, Samsung pledged that its new phones would get at least four years of software updates, which will take you to Android 16 in 2026. Some mobile apps may restrict content to be shared on other screens or may require a touch screen to be able to interact with them. Samsung's claim of 45W fast charging is perplexing. I timed how long it took to fully charge all of the models in the S22 lineup via Samsung's 45W accessory charger. All of them have different battery capacities, but suspiciously, they all charged in about 75 minutes.

For our full review, we used the Exynos-powered phone, and it ran well. When we put the device through a multi-core benchmark test using Geekbench 5, it returned a score of 3,431. That’s a very high score, and one of the highest we’ve seen from a Samsung phone too, but a few 2021 devices beat it, including the Xiaomi Mi 11, Realme GT, OnePlus 9, and ZTE Axon 30 Ultra. Those devices all use the Snapdragon 888, the predecessor to the 8 Gen 1, which points towards the Exynos chip being a tiny bit weaker. One of the strongest aspects of the S22 Plus is certainly its camera: While the main sensor is a 10MP (f/2.2) one, the rear camera module on the S22 Plus has the same colour as the metal body and consist of a 50MP wide (f/1.8), 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2) and a 10MP telephoto (f/2.4) sensor with an impressive 3x optical zoom. The main sensor is larger this year to get more light in. This, on paper, should translate to much better nighttime performance too, but they are still not exactly where we want them to be due to some white balance issues. Generally, the photos are crisp and bright, yet the colour accuracy is still not as good as the Google Pixel 6 Pro. On the other hand, the telephoto performance is simply brilliant and a massive improvement over the S21 Plus. Display and Chipset: Simply Premium 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 and 4370mAh for Galaxy S22+. Actual battery life may vary depending on network environment, usage patterns and other factors.
