Today I will be sharing with you my experience and long term review after using the Samsung Galaxy S22 for the past 3 months, both the good and the bad. To ultimately help you decide whether the Galaxy S22 is the right phone for you. I opted to go for the Galaxy S22 in 128GB and chose Phantom Black. This comes in at $799 or £769. I love the design of the S22. The matte textured glass back not only looks good but also feels comfortable in the hand. The shiny aluminium sides of the S22, slightly curve, and this makes it easy to grip. My only concern with durability lies in the glass on the display. Through normal use, my display has gotten a few large scratches that are visible and don’t look great. As someone who typically uses iPhones, having USB-C is great. Samsung are know of their incredible displays and the S22 is no exception. After using the S22, I can safely say this is the best smartphone display I’ve used. The symmetrical, super thin bezels make the phone feel modern and cutting edge. The ultrasonic under screen fingerprint reader is fast and secure. Not to mention the small pin hole selfie camera is barely noticeable when watching videos and using the phone generally. Colours are vibrant and the display is really sharp so even smaller text is easy to read. The display also get’s really bright, with up to 1300 nits of brightness. It has a 120 hz refresh rate, this makes motion on screen appear extra smooth. I consider battery to be one of the key pillars of any smartphone and it is unfortunate but in this area the Galaxy S22 falls short of my expectations. In day to day use, I found myself getting around 5-6 hours of screen-on time. For reference I get around 7-8 in the iPhone 13. For example, during a typical day of mixed use I end the day at around 6pm with 20% remaining on the S22, meaning I can just about get through a full day but not evening. Whereas on the iPhone 13 I can get through a full day plus evening with battery to spare. Thankfully thought when it comes to performance the S22 delivers! With it’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, games, photo or video editing apps run super smooth. To add to this, Samsung’s one UI is probably the most stable experience you will find on android and has generally performed well! Something really important to me is that the S22 is said to get 4 years of software updates, as someone who typically uses an iPhone, I love to see this. On the back we have a triple lens camera setup, the best of which is the 50 megapixel wide angle lens and is the one I use most. Photos are detailed. White balance is accurate in all lighting conditions. Colours, are slightly more on the saturated side but still look fantastic.Video, though not at the level of that of the iPhone, 4K 60fps video looks good. The selfie camera on the front creates sharp photos and gets decently wide for group selfies and video calls. Ok so, after 3 months of using the Galaxy S22, have my thoughts changes and is it still worth buying? At the end of my original review, I said the S22 is a phone that is almost perfect. With it’s premium design, best in class display, impressive array of cameras, fast performance with years of software support. The only part that falls short is battery. And now after months of using, not only is just as true, it is also a bit frustrating as this phone really almost has it all. Still, the Galaxy S22, at it’s price, remains to be in my opinion the best all-round phone you can buy on the Android side for the price.

What phone do you currently use and why? 🤔
iPhone 13 Pro but have been considering to break the walled-garden of Apple 😅
13 Pro Max. Love my phone, and I love your videos, sir. Always calm and factual, I really enjoy listening to you :) And the video quality as a whole, shots are on point :) keep up the great work 🤌
Portland, JAMAICA in the Building !!
Hi, thanks for the compliment. I promise that I will do my best to keep it up!
Hi Amar, a loyal fan!
I just bought a s22. I changed from a pixel 3xl. The camera experience and front facing speakers is better on the pixel. But style , screen and software performance, the s22 is better. For those complaining about battery.... YOUR ON YOUR PHONE TOO MUCH!
You're not wrong, but a lot of people, including me, need their phones for work.
😆
I stream music at work via Bluetooth and it barely lasts an 8hr shift. Only really gets used during a 30 min lunch. Maybe 45 mins SOT
@@ottallman Assuming you haven't tried any of this, running the phone in 60hz while at work (power saving mode does the same thing + much more) will help. You can also make sure 'Adaptive Battery' is on, and make sure you allow apps to sleep, under: 'Battery & Device Care' > 'Background usage limits'. Be sure to check out the additional power saving options in the settings to reduce CPU usage and other stuff while at work.
@@kalooniee I put a lot of apps to sleep and some in deep sleep. 60hz. Turned off sync. No location. Didn't put it in battery mode tho. Turned off 5g. Basically neutered this phone just to make it thru the work day. Not the whole day. Just while I'm at work. By the time I get home it's at 15%. I've had several phones this year and I never had to do half the stuff just to get thru the day. That's the point. I shouldn't have to turn the stuff you pay extra for just to make it thru a few hours. My Note 9 that I swap with now and then has better battery life 🤷🏻♂️
I recently switched from an iPhone to s22 and I absolutely love it! Haven't had an android phone in years and was a bit nervous about getting one. Definitely no regrets. But I'm still getting used to the battery life, I use my phone for work all day long and I have to charge it every other hour
Update: it's been three months and I don't think I'm coming back to an iPhone anytime soon.
Don't do it!
@@auntphibian don't do what?
iPhone 13 Pro Max here. I used to own Samsungs and pixels. Got this to see how iPhones are. They suck. Bad. Can’t wait for my S22+ to come in
@@jzinchy go back to iphone
@@ax.09_ why would I?
I have an s22 and the battery definitely leaves you wanting more. On a normal day it's at 10% when going to bed. I need to charge it on heavy use days and before going out to the bars. Otherwise it is the perfect size for smaller hands and great build quality. The camera quality impressed iphone users lol. I have the bumper case on my phone that gives the phone basic protection without covering up the beautiful design.
Hi Lucas, thanks for sharing your experience
I switched from the iPhone XS to the S22 three months ago. Best decision ever.
Samsung is giving 4 years of OS support & 5 years of security support!! Which is awesome
Hi Joey, you are right, not bad at all!
Got the S22 and a portable cordless battery pack that can easily charge while I use the phone. Battery isn't gonna be an issue for me. Love the size of the phone. I had the S21 Ultra and I am done having a big ass phone.
Send link
I have the s21 ultra and have the same feeling. Any regrets?
@@anembersarc no regrets at all. It feels good being able to put a phone in your pocket and not even feel it.
yep,me too,i've had ROG Phone 5 and 5s,both now were dead,so i bought S22,i'm done having a big screen phone,it sucks so much
I had a S21+ and got me a S22 because I am tired of a big phone, especially when I have a more bigger rugged case because of the type of work I do.
I've had the Galaxy s22 ultra for a while now and actually just ordered the standard s22 and mainly because of the smaller form factor. Samsung trade ins are awesome too so i don't feel too bad about shelling out the cash.
Hello, do you still have it? How's the battery doing?
Great summary, thank you!
Would have loved to hear more about camera and software patches that happened since release. I heard camera is even better now and there were significant battery improvements.
Currently watching and typing this on my S22! Got this phone because I really love the design and its small size!
I have an s22 and you are spot on with everything. Yeah the battery doesn't last nearly as long as it should, however, being able to charge it with fast charging, makes up for that. If I can plug it in for an hour, or even just anywhere for some small time, it charges fast enough. I just carry around a charger which isn't that big a deal.
Thanks for the feedback and also thanks for not accusing me of being anti S22 (which I am not!) :)
how is the charging speed?
I have an s22 and it is fast 10 to 85 in like 40-60 minutes
thank you for the review! wonder how is the battery on S22 compared to S8? deciding on the upgrade phone...
I agree, it's such a shame they skimped on the battery cell when this phone had everything going for it. If it weren't for that, I'd buy it. Perhaps it was to keep the chassis very slim, but I would have preferred a slightly chunkier phone with a better battery life. It's a deal breaker.
This is the #1 reason why I'll be buying an iPhone for the first time. I prefer Samsung, but battery life is a deal breaker for me. I can't stand that.
S21 IS WAY BETTER.PERIOD.👍👍🤑😎
@@8_x_9. Plastic trash.
honestly my first thing when i get this is going to be change refresh rate to 60Hz if i can... 120Hz is probably overkill for me. I'll do some battery testing to see if that makes a difference.
@@KDbelieves IPhone sucks with battery life as well. Also whenever they bring out a new phone you'll eventually get a software "update" which causes your phone to loose battery life even faster.
People will say it's not true but I know multiple people who had this happen to them. Apple has terrible company ethics.
I wonder, do you put other things like keys in your pocket with your phone? I had my S10e for 2 years and my Xperia 5ii for well over a year with no screen protectors and never got any scratches on either screen from regular use.
Hi Jeff, thanks for sharing. No, I do not put keys in pocket with my phone. It is an eternal discussion. I am a bit fuzzy and always protect my screen, but if you (and many others by the way) manage to get by scratch free for a whole year, I salute you (but I am not brave enough to try it my self :)
What is the highest image size I can acheive usng the pro mode. I called Samsung but I didn't get a definite answer. In the "Photo Mode" I can get an image size of 12000 x 9000, but I have only been able to get 3000 x 4000 using Pro Mode.
I bought Samsung S9 Plus when it came out. Have had it for almost 5 years now and still not a single thing wrong with it. It has dents, scratches, and battery backup has dropped but still works fine. My 5 year old phone's camera is better than brand new MI and OnePlus flagships. Would love to upgrade to s22 ultra but can't afford it. To those who came here wondering if they should buy the S22, you just can't go wrong with Samsung. Period.
hi Shazal, if you are happy with the S9, stick with it I would say! And thanks for sharing your experience
I mean s22 is 500$ cheaper and it is still a flagship, i write this on 250$ m21 and im pretty sure there isn't any reasons, to buy ultra version because it is cost of my whole pc set XD i have watched many of reviews of s22 not ultra, and im pretty sure i will buy it in 1 year time
I bought the S8+ thinking to use it 5 years. 2 months to get there. Like you said "you just can't go wrong with Samsung"
@@gonemanu Update: I bought S22 Ultra a week ago. I instantly fell in love with it. The display, battery, cameras, everything. It's a beast and everything you can have in a phone.
I had a S10+ but it finally gave out, oh how I miss that phone...
planning on buying one, thanks for an honest review, great video ;)
Hi, glad to have been of help. Enjoy your S22!
Hey man love your vids!
Just wondering if the s22 series comes with a headphone jack? Might consider getting this phone :)
No, it doesn’t have a headphone jack
all I can say, I have truly enjoyed this beautiful and concise presentation! you got yourself a sub! Keep up good work!
Hi Kibo, thank you!
Have you used a iphone without screen protector? And compared the scratches?
Great video!
I was wondering what you use for the background in your thumbnails.
Hi Matthew, thanks for your compliment. The background is homemade, including the use of some dried flowers :)
I just got my S22 to replace my daily driver Essential PH1 and I did a double take when I opened to box because on the front they are pretty much identical. Save for the top of the phone where Essetial has a slot for sensors and notification light and the camera has notch in the screen rather than a stright up hole like S22.
I didn't use screen protector on my Essential and save for a tiny microscratch that's only visible in strong light, the screen has remained scratch free. I keep mine inside a leather sleeve and I was happy to see that S22 goes snugly into the same sleeve so I don't have to get a new one. This sleeve is the reason why my Essential didn't get any scratches in all these years. So I'll ignore your recommendation to get a screen protector, which get scratched so much easier, gather dirt on the edges and would have to be occasionally swapped.
My Samsung S22 is a great phone, but has a few issues. The battery life is an issue, but stretches to more than a day on power save mode. The camera has a surprisingly good 3X zoom, which partly makes up for the lack of macro and the occasional out of focus shot on moving objects and a bit of flaring on lights. The connectivity also has issues - I struggle to use usb-C to HDMI on my old TV, which works perfectly on my iPad pro. The usb C connection may be to blame since it doesn’t charge some of the time when plugged in - even after I upgraded to the extra fast charger. Just in case I’ll hang on to my S7 which still performs flawlessly after 6 years….
Hi Tom, yes, many good stories about the S7 (I have no experience with this smart phone). And for the rest thank you for sharing your experience
yeah i kind of just keep power saver on all the time anyway
S7 is my all times favorite. If it wasn't for its low internal memory and lack of support (and wasted battery), I'd still use it ♡ its design is gorgeous, its size is perfect, its golden color is mesmerizing. I wish they make a modern copy of that phone.
I had a new s7. Great phone. Too bad I thought it was water proof and had a buddy throw it to me in a pool.
I had the usb-C port cleaned at the local Samsung service centre in Paris and that works fine since. I still have my old TV but now connect with Chromecast which works well and is more convenient. I’m pretty happy with the S22 now.
If you could please pick one between the base model Iphone 13 and the S22 which would you recommend?
It has become a very difficult decision for me.
Thanks!
Hi, that is too dangerous :). I also made a video comparing these two and came up with the Iphone 13 as the better one, but acknowledging that the S22 has much to be happy about. it also comes down to personal preferences. Have a look at that video :)
Currently on the flip 3, but thinking to get back to the normal slabs, only because am afraid of flip 3's durability and mainly its battery. Getting 3 to 4 hrs, sometimes even 2 which is horrible. Though s22 isn't huge with battery as well, atleast it's double from flip 3 and kind of still end up with a compact phone which was my reason to go for flip 3, and bonus you get a telephoto camera, might switch at s23.
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience
I got my S22 last month. My prior phone was an S10 E . Both are great phones but I like the S22 the best.
Does the s22 have longer lasting battery life??
Im upgrading from s10e as well
Thinking of changing from Revvl 5 to this phone. Is this better than Revvl 5?
is it normal for s22 getting heat up from using the camera less then 10 minutes?? and also tiktok because I play tiktok around 30 minutes it's getting really hot . I just bought this phone early this month
I was debating over either getting the s22 or the iPhone 13 and chose the latter due to battery but is still think that the s22 is a great phone choice.
Hi Gabriel, agree with your conclusion!
Is that true, if samsung going to lagging after we update that os ??? Some reviewer said that...
You made the right decision, sadly I hate iOS because of its limitations and the Price. It's a great Phones, but the battery life really ruins it all.
Wait what I heard the I phones had the best battery now . What is the difference,?
Currently using the A32 and loving the power button finger print scanner, shame the s22 doesnt have this
Hi Dion! Loved the video. I am about to get the iPhone 13 or iPhone 13 pro but I don’t know. I think the s22 is really cool but in the U.S. aren’t you suppose to use iPhone’s? Also is iphone 13 better or the s22? (In your opinion) thank you!
Hi, thanks for your compliment. As far as your question is concerned have a look at this video. th-cam.com/video/vo9LmlL77WI/w-d-xo.html
What do you guys do so much during the day? Mine would go on for 1 and a half day if I let but of course I charge it every night no issues with battery
Hi Chris, you must be what we call a light user :)
What's the better phone the s22 or the one plus 10 pro
Just picked my unit at T-Mobile, $600 off over 24 months was a no brainer for me.
Hi Zapdos, excellent deal, enjoy your S22!
Upgrading from a Xiaomi Redmi 9T to Galaxy S22...The upgrade leap is immense!
Good to hear!
I didn't see you mention the 8k video the s22 can record. Did you test the 8k video too?
Hi, it is correct that the S22 has 8K, but I really prefer to go for 4K because of the wider Frame rates available
man, im about to buy it, but i read a review that says that the phone overheat, is that true? i mean, if you use heavy programs it might, but with soft apps?
thanks for the video
i was thinking about buying a new phone on my birthday on january 1st 2023 and i was thinking between iphone 12 and samsung s22 the samsung is 100$ cheaper any suggestions? (i have a samsung s7 edge)
Message for Help: Can someone tell me how to increase the size of icons in status bar in S22 without increasing the size of other app icons. Status bar in galaxy s22 is too small for me to read.
is the S22 compatible with the ExpertRaw app from samsung galaxy store ? Have you taken photos in RAW format ? How is the experience of editing the Raw images in Adobe Lightroom / Photoshop ? In my opinion as a hobby photographer, the RAW image capture functionality is the most important thing for a flagship smartphone with a good camera. Why else would anyone want to buy such an expensive phone ? please leave a comment if you have insights! i'm looking for a new phone. Also how is DeX ??? another killer feature!!!
Hi Ciunga, it is possible to shoot in RAW on the S22 with the expert RAW app. I would definitely recommend using that when editing in Apps like Lightroom. But, no matter how good, they can not compare with a proper independent camera, so I would manage expectations. Having said this, the S22 has one of the best cameras on smartphones available right now. Is far as DeX is concerned I think that this is for most a gimmick, not a very useful feature.
@@DionMedia thanks for answering, there are very few clips with useful technical information about flagship phones.
In future I will do more on flagship phones as well
How can we open the phone without the side button?
hi Dion is the phone constanly warm to the touch even when web browsing and streaming on Spotify?
Hi, yes, I noticed that S22 gets a bit warmer than the iPhone 13 during regular tasks, but not uncomfortably so. With a case hardly noticeable
@@DionMedia comfort is not the issue. it's the fact that this heat has a lot of other implications. I forgot ur a salesman.
Maybe I shouldve waited for the s23 but I ordered an S22 256 gb model and as a free gift they included a galaxy watch 5. That is pretty sweet.
Just swapped my S10+ for the S22. Great phone for everyday use, I guess I’m over Plus and Ultra sized phones.
I just got the S22 too. Best in-hand feel phone I've ever had. Cameras are fantastic too.
Same here bro
Same... the size is just ❤
I just got a Motorola Edge 5g. I'm honestly thinking about returning it and getting an S22 instead. A big factor in that is the size of the phone is just uncomfortable to use, or have in my pocket. I've got decent size hands, but holding onto it with one hand for use is a balancing act and you really have to stretch your thumb around.
I've also read a few reviews saying the screen breaks easily when dropped, and it gets easily water damaged. My S8 finally died because I got caught in a rainstorm (I've dropped it a bunch and it had cracks the water got through), so both those things with the Moto really worry me.
.....Yep. Went back today and got the S22 instead. Still getting it setup with all my apps/layout, but I like it more already. It feels better in size, and just overall build quality. I knew I should have just stuck with Samsung....my S8 had a really good run.
How would the battery last of the phone in combination while being connected to a galaxy watch?
What now?
You'll probably go an extra hour in the day with that combination. Lol
I just bought a s22 a week ago. Yesterday and today being on the phone, outside in winter, started a cracking sound. I am so sad that i have to return it and don't buy a s22 again, i am scared that another one will do the same. I am just wondering if anyone had this problem and how they fix it.
If ur at home screen and swipe left is it a news feed or widgets or nothing or...?
Hi, sorry, can not help you here
I just got the S22 its freaking amazing coming from a Moto Z3. :)
Does it overheat uncomfortably?
Moving from my broken S7 to a new S22. The S22 is pretty much the same exact size, I wouldn't really want to go any bigger than this. Yet, now these are considered compact models!
Hi Victrola, yes, you are right, the compact phones are getting bigger and most likely there will be no Iphone 14 for example:(
I need help guys - I have a fixed budget and it the latest flagship i can buy is either an s22 128GB or iphone 12 128GB. I am planning to replace my old slow iPhone 6. I really am in love with the s22 design but aside from the obvious cons, it looks like phone accessories are more available in the IOS world. It would be my first time owning a Samsung so I dont have the charger brick but i have the charger for an iPhone. My main priorities for owning a phone is to finally download work and school apps my old iphone 6 (only has ios 12.5) can no longer have. I also want a great all-around camera and good battery life. I iPhone 6 has super short battery life so I guess any new phone is better than mine. I dont do games but im active in social media in my spare time.
I do own a S22. I really love this phone everything is great about it the look the camera work great. Only downside as you mentioned battery is not that superb but i do that a powerbank and fast charger in my bag so I don't really mind it
Well, in that case the S22 is the phone for you. Enjoy!
Good review 👍🏻👍🏻
S22 best Or s22+, s22 screen on time how much??
I wished battery wasnt crap. Looking at alternatives just because of this. Every other aspect is fantastic as you said. Battery anxiety is real with S22.
people honestly just use thier phones way too much.
@@medisowkers5829 bro stfu you use your mouth too much or in this case, keyboard.
The battery of the S22 is trash, you can watch it die minute by minute. It's not the using, the battery just stinks and it even gets worse faster as smaller Batteries worsen faster by use.
Get the s22 plus for better battery
@@stpr16 thx Sherlock
@@jungwisely8725 no problem jung wisely 😄
I just bought thia one. Before it i was using S9 and i want to change 2 things if there is a way. The first is on my S9 when i pressea the central button from the 3 once down on the screen when the phone was locked it vibrated and lighted the screen. I'm really used to this feature and don't know how and even is it possible to set it on the s22 plus the same way. The second one is the changing of the language when i'm writing. Before i had to slide the space button and now i have to press the earth icon. I know that both things are not that big of i deal, but i juat liked the old way better and will be happy if someone knows how i can set them on the s22 too. Thanks in advance!
Hi, great questions, but I am sorry that I am unable to answer them. Hope someone else can help you
I am using S21FE to watch this video. The plastice back not as premium looking as S22 but it is more durable indeed.
Bought mine within the month of release! Honestly the battery isnt a big deal to me since I was coming from a phone where I basically fried the battery and would drain within an hour. With light use I say it's good battery life! My only complain, that I'm hoping will change in the future, is the 1080p display. Coming from a 1440p display, it was a huge downgrade and it did bother me before i got used to 1080p. Other than that I have no issues with this phone, if anything if the s23 lineup isn't ugly, I'll probably upgrade just to get more storage cus 128gb for 4k concert videos is not enough 😁
And yes ik there's a 256gb for the s22, but ik by the time I'll have the means to upgrade the storage the s23 will probably be released so might as well
Lucky it will be my 1st phone then, not spoiled :)
I like your review on this phone after it's been released for a good while now. I've been looking for a new smartphone as my Samsung Galaxy S10 has a cracked camera and the battery life has been getting worse. The S22 and Google Pixel 6 are on sale, but from what I've read the Pixel 6 doesn't have consistent build quality and software quality, and I don't really want to take a gamble on that. My S10 has been smooth and I've had it since launch, so I trust Samsung to have better quality assurance. I'm heavily leaning towards Samsung
RECOMMENDED SCREEN PRODUCT is excellent, 2 with oleophobic coating, applicator and frame to make easier to get central and not screw wif. Also a squeegee to smooth out those bubbles. 2 lens protectors, again not flimsy rubbish but robust piece. Looks great and alot better quality than alot have had in past. Thanks for the recommendation. Defo worth spending extra couple of ££
Just ordered my S22 today can't wait to receive it, especially coming from an S9+
Hi, enjoy!
@@DionMedia Thank you, and keep up the good work.
Hi Ty, I will do my best! And thanks for your support
How is your first impression? What about the video recording?
@@stereodan7180 the video is great and cameras are good especially night photos. So far I've been getting 7+hrs sot, which isn't that bad since I work from home. Great all around phone
Great review!
Currently looking for a phone with long lasting battery any recommendations?
Im thinking of switching over currently a iPhone user 😅
the 13 is quite good, but what about the 14plus?
Only there is battery problem? Not more that ?
Again great detail review about this Galaxy S22, thanks your review is of great help to those who want to buy it in January 2023. I have heard that generally everyone complains about the battery life of this phone. Once again Dion thanks for your honest review 👍❤🌹
Does the Galaxy s22 and s22 ultra come with RCS (Chat features) automatically enabled, or do I have to enable it myself?
Hi, sorry, I do not have any detailed knowledge of this to give you a decent answer
@@DionMedia RCS is like the iMessage of Android. Any Android phone that comes with the Google Messages app by default is supposed to ship with RCS enabled by default. Since the s22 and s22 ultra come with the Google Messages app by default, I was wondering if these phones also ship with RCS enabled by default.
Considering I still go about the day with my 3 year old S9+ battery isn't too much of a worry for me.
What about the overheating and slow shutter speed issues that some talk about? Anyone here have the same complaints?
Hi, I have not experienced this, but the S22 does get warmer than many other phones and when it does it might impact the shutter speed
Concerned about 3700 mAh battery but hopefully Samsung optimized it.
Winner Dm ☝️.
You're really lucky men if you can afford from 5 to 9 hours of free time to sitting in phone per day. ))
I usually get max up to 2 hours including work task's like e-mails, calendars, monitoring apps and work chats.
:), that is one way to look at it
Yeah but alot of people work on there phones these days
Should I go for a regular S22 or S21 Ultra ? Which one have a better camera ?
Hi, that is a good question! Never had the S21Ultra, so my opinion is of limited use ;(. To my understanding the S21 Ultra has more lenses and a better focal range, while the S22 has better enhanced photo capacity. If I had to chose I would go for the S22 because of longevity and longer software support. But I am sure there are better experts than I around there to answer your question
@@DionMedia Thank you very much very helpful ❤
Probably the ultra
Can someone tell me the difference between S21 and S22 when it comes to battery life? I want to buy a new phone and I can't decide between S21 or S22.
The battery of the S21 is said to be a bit better
Just got a 256 from Best Buy for $699 new. Actually downgrading from Ultra since I want a smaller phone. Battery was bad on Ultra so I guess I'm used to bad battery already
:) Good deal btw!
Perfect size for a phone though!
Lol
Battery on s22 series is bad at all.
Need to know if it supports a SIM card too. ? Thanks
Hi Josh, the S22 supports a SIM card, as most smart phones, but if you mean a dual SIM card, then the answer is no
Should I see the same battery life as something like the iPhone 12 Pro Max with a 3700mAh battery?
The iPhone 12 Pro Max will outperform the S22 with 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours SOT per day
I have an S20 FE 5G right now and I am thinking of switching to an S22. I am a mid-user who plays games sometimes uses social media moderately and clicks photos. Is it advisable for me to jump over S22?
Hi Darsh, I think you can stick to your S20 FE 5G that should last some additional years. Of course you can always switch to the S22 that brings some nice new features to the table but none that make a big difference with the S20. As with the S20, the battery life of the S22 remains below what is to be expected
@@DionMedia Thank you for the suggestion
How's the cam and I'm considering to buy it as it is selling at cheaper price due to being only old model now
Hi, tomorrow am gonna buy a phone, but idk which is better. I have a choice between normal S22 or pixel 7 pro. Which phone would you recommend me to buy?
Hi Khodor, I did not do a comparison of these two
@@DionMedia its okay, i can buy a S22 256gb 4 months old or S22 plus 128gb 1 year old. The price of them both is between 500-550€.Which one would you recommend me to buy? Thank you!
I've been deeply enjoying my regular, base model S22, but the biggest complaint is battery life. I can regularly get 20hrs, with moderate high use and display brightness at %50
Hi Tyler, many would be interested in more details how you achieve that
@@DionMedia I have battery settings on optimal performance and adaptive setting turned on and I've limited the background apps use to sleep, if not used frequently and screen wise, it's on %50 or lower with adaptive brightness turned off and vivid mode off and motion smoothness off
Would you recommend buying s22 right now? I am debating buying s22, flip or new module which should come in February 2023
@@mr_qaimaq Gotta buy the Penis Infection 69S+. Best phone ive ever owned.
@@barnacleboi2595 nah bro, I am good. I do not have "small penis" complex. I am happy for your upgrade btw
s22 really gives excellent performance and you would not expect this from a small phone. battery is not a problem if you carry a powerbank. nonetheless, it is really the best android phone you could buy right now. Dion's statements in the video are all facts!
Hi, agree. And thank you for your endorsement :)
Excellent review!
Glad you liked it!
Does it support OTG? Thanks!
Hi Louie, as I am sure what OTG is in the context I can not react. Sorry!
Great review as always. Deciding between this S22 and the iPhone 13.
Thanks Prem. Which one did you decide?
I am already using the S22 Ultra 512GB. The reason I was considering the 13 and the S22 is because of their smaller form factor, a phone I can carry with me when I am out and about. For the record I am neither an 'Apple sheep' nor an 'Android fan boy'. I think both have their plus and minus points. But when it comes to compact phones with most of the desired features iPhones take the cake. The 13 mini is a tad too tiny for me, so I guess it'll be the iPhone 13 256GB. And hey, thanks for writing Dion . . . I appreciate it.
Great review 😍
Thank you! 🤗
I personally don't find the battery aspect to be a deal breaker.
Hi Isis, in that case the choice will be even more difficult:)
@@DionMedia In what ways would it be more difficult? 🤔
Well, if battery is important to you then the Iphone 13 almost by default becomes the best option. If not, the phones get quite close
@@DionMedia I think you misunderstood. In my original comment, i said battery isn't that big of a deal for me. It's not a deal breaker, i've dealt with phones with worse battery, so the s22 is not even that big of a deal to me. 😅
:)
S 22//Glass screen protector/ Otterbox case and holster. So far 👍👍👍👍👍
Ok so battery sucks, but does it charge pretty fast? Just bought my phone its on the way. Shoulda watched this first. Im switching fron an LG stylo 5 so im probably gonna be blown away
Does anyones phone get hot or sound fuzzy randomly?
Hi Roger, not mine
I had the s22 and I can’t stress enough how bad the battery life is , realistically it’s 4 hour battery life and that’s with the always on display turned off. Went back to IPhone and I will say don’t know if I’ll ever go back to android.
Winner Dm ☝️.
No one cares if you are going back to android or not
How many hours does the S22 last would you say?
Hi Marcel, In day to day use, I found myself getting around 5-6 hours of screen-on time. For reference I get around 7-8 in the iPhone 13.
I have the s22 and I love it
I like the plastic back of my s21, peace of mind knowing it won't shatter. Even if it cracks it'll be way cheaper to fix.
Hi, you got a point there!
Samsung does make great phones but they gotta step up on their battery performance, otherwise people are still gonna buy iPhones running on 60hz.
using my S10 still to this day, dont see a good reason to upgrade yet to the s22. gaming still seems meh performance wise with the snapdragon chips, and i dont like that all the buttons are on the right now.
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. Good to hear that the S10 is still performing well!
U a classy guy! Everything looking very nice and stylish. Good for u!
:) Thanks
As an S22 owner who's kind of frustrated with the battery life, I have to say that you pretty much summed it all! Nice review!
Thanks Bruno for your comment (and support!)
Give this disgrace of a phone back or send it along with a explosive to Samsung HQ, that will teach them a lesson!
Forget the explosives, just use some Note 7's instead.
@@jungwisely8725 prob not wise to post anything about sending explosives to ppl on the internet
How much hours do you get on it
Your channel is perfect ❤
Wow, thank you! And Happy Holidays of course
Mine is fast still over a year just got to take care of it
Wanted a smaller phone and almost bought the s22 on sale but ended up skipping it due to the batterylife.. Currently rocking a Huawei mate 20 pro, of which my only complaint is exactly the poor batterylife in the later stages of its life... which I find hard to replace on tight budget..
I'm coming from a 4 year old Mate 20 Pro. as long as the battery isn't any worse than this, i'm good
@@FractalZero really blows me away how ppl are blowing through their battery.
my g8 lasts me all day. and it only has a 3200mah
Nice video pal! Just one question, right now i have a Xiaomi Mi 9 SE (came with a 3070 battery) but now i have a new 3500 battery with a custom rom and i love it for my usage! but i think i need a lil more power because sometimes lag with some things, nothing big but i dk lol , do you think the S22 will perform better, last longer ? i mean should be because the process its newer (4 nm vs 10nm) but yeah read the proc its power hungry/hotter and have a more powerful and a lil bigger screen so... had in mind zenfone 8/9 but those arent sold here so should import it and i dk if wort it.... i mean i love my phone but now i just need a lil more power and of course a small phone, so those are my options but at the same time im not looking a "premiun" process who get hot with anything lol
The s22 has decent battery life and will definitely be better than the mi 9 se but not by much,if you want to get a phone with way better battery than the phone u got rn then i recommend the s22 plus
@@stpr16 thanks for your reply, at the end ended with a super cheap brand new S21 and I love it! I can't stand a plus variant because I want a compact phone like these
@@Jmr0223 thats a really great choice considering the s21 got a bigger and better battery than the s22
Wish I saw this before I bought it. I am constantly having to top off the charge. I use talk to text a lot and it doesn't have a good program for that either. I had my Samsung Galaxy S7 for over 7 years. And the only reason I bought this one is because I wanted better battery but it doesn't seem to be better.
I'm writing this from my S9. Sorry but I'm not swaping, I would love to have a smaller phone and 5.5" to 6" seems the perfect size for a phone but battery is a big deal for me, I mean my S9 lasts 1,5 days even after 4 years of use and this S22 can barely last 6-7hours?
I love the size of s22 but they should think of a new generation of batteries..
