Galaxy S22

Camera is fantastic. Most features are good but same, same with all other Samsungs. Didn't mention no charger so took it home opened the box. Hey presto you need to buy a charger! Really!! Tried switching phone off, no its changed volume button and off button to power off! Why!? Stupid, leave it as it was! No SD slot, so I've lost loads of good photos from my previous phone! Really sentimental ones too. How!?? Disappointed! Works well when watched! I think most phones need to change the people who deside what's in what's out and changes etc.. as I feel they are out of touch with real people's needs!

The S22 has a phenomenal camera which captures great clarity and details in any scenario. The One UI is just amazing with all the software features and user experience. The 120 Hz AMOLED does a great job in providing a smooth experience. However, the device gets heated up quite easily from just simple social media surfing like Instagram within just a 30 mins to an hr of its use, which is quite disappointing stating the fact its a 749 quids flagship device. The heat causes the device to throttle a lot hence causing lags and slows down tasks, even the simple ones. Which in turn disrupts the experience.

I'm not happy with my new S22 at all. I previously had an S9, and the only reason I changed it was because the battery was beginning to go. My S22 is much slower loading pages; the screen is not responsive on many occasions, and has become completely stuck several times, requiring me to restart the phone. I can't do FB lives as the quality is pretty shocking, whereas on my S9 the picture was super clear and I didn't ever have connection issues. On the S22 my FB lives frequently say there are connection problems, and I usually get cut off. This is my critical to my business! I'm seriously unhappy with it and wish I had never swapped quite honestly. How can the S9 be so much better.....?

The S22 is a nice size phone and very comfortable and convenient to handle. It's very fast compared to the smaller budget Samsung J series phones that I'm used to. I just wish it had a memory card slot. I feel a bit lost without this. I miss having portable storage for my photos and documents. I'm not a fan of cloud based products and don't feel the need to pay a subscription when I can have it all on an inexpensive 'one off' payment memory card The only other gripe about this phone is that it comes pre-loaded with so many useless apps that I will never use, taking up more precious space of it's 128GB. Apart from that, it's a great phone...and probably the most expensive one I'll ever own.

I was sold for the sizing. The in hand feel is so perfect. This is my first Samsung and I am lovin' it. Night mode processed photos are awesome. The other thing is portrait colour point. 8K video recording. Would have loved a 90/120fps mode but that isn't necessary. Overall UI feel and performance is good. Cons: Battery Heating.

I used to love Samsung Galaxy but not on this occasion. First couple of week of use, phone was making static noises, sometimes people can hear me & at times not which was very frustrating. Samsung CS was not very helpful. After various self help online, managed to get it sorted. Couple of months later the problem recurred and have to reset the phone. Apart from the picture quality, the price is just a rip off. I have been using Samsung Galaxy since 2010and changed my phone 7times and they have all been very dependable. Never had any issues whatsoever bit s22 is a big disappointment.

Its so much faster comparing to my old Samsung Galaxy a70. The 120hz screen is good and the peformance when playing games is great. But i have had a problem. The phone keeps restarting on itself and i dont know why but except from that the phone is good

Got the phone for a month now. It was a 5 week wait and untold amount of time on the phone to Samsung to chase up why it hasn't been dispatched yet. As I said have it for month now, I must admit its so very disappointing. The software is very weak and unstable, everything works very clamsy and the battery life is absolutely dreadful. It's on the charger constantly and only last a few hours after a full charge . I also bought the watch 4 classic and it's just as disappointing. If you want to buy a premium device I would recommend to get one from their fruit logo competition.

Coming from the note series for about 8 plus years it's different not so much a bad way. The size has me out of wack both good and bad one I can reach the hole screen all the time no major movement of the hole hand to reach I struggle to get my panel out not that I use it much only for calculations helps with being dyslexic. I just wanted a simple phone this time round just use it for basic things I've not gone down the hole full features yet just got board of all that. Yes this phone works well camera works well its better than the s21 (partner has that phone) more colour to it dark rooms like lights off TV no flash on works very well, not done games yet only games I do is stream from my xbox not done it yet.

Thought as we already have S22 model phone (s22 ultra), hence bought S22 phone. But not what was expected, being having trouble with battery without any use of phone and also when charging the phone and using it the phone gets hot. Charged phone to full battery with not even half through the day without using the phone the battery would go down to 34% or less requiring to be re charged again. Has being in contacts with customer service several times only to say nothing is wrong with the phone. I love Samsung but wouldn't recommend this phone at all. Very disappointing.

The basics of the phone are fine although no better than S21. Biggest issue for me is that I travel abroad several times a year and every time I arrive at my foreign destination and again upon return to UK, I am unable to make or receive calls for 24 hours. Phone takes on a weird noise/crackling and no one can hear me or vice versa. Absolutely useless when I need to call for car on arrival either end. Looking at reviews,this seems to be a common problem with the S22. I phoned my provider, EE, and they said they would exchange the phone but only for another S22! If they've all got this problem, no point in getting another one! Very frustrating. Always had Samsung phones but now thinking of switching. Hate this model!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is the camera performance design battery 🔋 and display so basically every good word there is to describe the Samsung s22.

Not a great start to be honest, I am currently in a battle to get it returned. I have had my device for 1 month and its not working, I can not take calls as it won't answer them and when it does its fuzzy, it hangs up automatically and cuts off when I try to dial. It's over heated to the point it was too hot to hold so shut it down. All this in one month and my provider is trying to send it off for repair instead of swaping the device as its clearly faulty. Its a shame as I loved my other Samsungs I just got the pick of a faulty bunch. I hope I get this resolved.

Great product and Design, recommended totally. Display and performance is amazing

The phone is a handy size and, all in all, a good phone. However, the battery life isn't great, nor is the texting/calling facility. I found it difficult to text or call without an Internet signal for a few weeks and then realised a setting needed changing. I'm not the most technical person, so it took me a while to work this out and correct it. The phone must have been factory set up this way as I wouldn't have the know-how to set that, therefore I think it would help others, similarly less gifted technically, it it wasn't set up yhat way to begin with.

This phone is much better than the last one in particular the ring ton that vibrates as well as ringing also the camera appears to be better I have simpal needs from a phone 1/make and receive calls and texts 2/the camera in case I need to make photographic evidence before a specialist photographer turns up and there is a liklihood of the evidence being destroyed.3/compact and unobtrusive but still gives a good print.as an ex military photographer I am able to assess images from a professional perspective.to many extra process creating confusion.

Nice phone but a few bits I don't like. Fingerprint sensor on the front screen is a pain - I want a screen protector and it has taken 3 versions to get one which allows me to use fingerprint ID. Even now, it frequently fails to unlock, especially if I'm outdoors. Another negative is that there is no notification light, which is obviously designed for people who are always checking their phone, rather than (like me) leaving it on the side for hours. On the plus side, it is really good to be able to remove reflections as well as background from photos.

I upgraded from the s20 and I love the the s22 but I have found the battery life is considerably lower than the s20, I have to charger my phone during the day now which I never had to do before, also I don't like the fact you can't use a memory card for extra storage so I have to be careful how much storage I'm using and then take photos/ videos off my phone and put them onto a memory stick so I can keep them. Overall the phone is fast and smart, I'm enjoying using it but wish there was more storage/ memory card supported and a better battery life.

This phone was a better buy over buying a iPhone. my first reason was you got better specs for the money. my Second reason usb-c my third reason 30x zoom camera my fourth reason better AOD my five reason customisation. only 3 star becouse phone doesn't come with superfast charging plug. I know you can use any 30watt plug but the Apple plug doesn’t support PPS. if you have upgraded your phone from Apple iPhone to a Samsung phone and the battery life is ok but it not great. I have to keep a portable charger on myself just in case.

Not impressed. Worst Samsung phone I have had. The speaker has broken so you cannot understand anything unless you have headphones on. But worst because it has no expandable memory the thing is full after a few photo's which isn't helpful on holiday with no wifi to download them to the cloud. Battery life is average. Only reason it got 2 stars is the camera, during day NOT night, is great and screen is excellent although let us see if it burns like they all do. Photo of speaker because it wouldn't let me submit a review without a photo..

I absolutely love it! Phones have been getting bigger for a while now, its nice to have one that's a better fit. I LOVE the colour choices I have the pink gold 256gb. It's fast, reactive, superior quality over other galaxy's I've had before. Its smooth sailing with the os very little bloat wear too which really helps. Calls are crystal clear and video calls over WiFi or data are hard to tell the difference between the two. Easy to set up and transfer information over and the camera looks good for the little I've used both rear and selfie (only had it a week). Battery life is pretty good. I can play games for a an hour or two hour before I need to start to think about charging it. Definitely worth getting Samsung have outdone themselves.

I've had various samsung phones for over a decade now & usually buy the latest flagship model. However I ended up buying the S22 after losing my old trusty S20 in Cyprus (it's still in Cyprus btw) So purchased the S22 sim free. Slightly smaller than my s20 but feels better built in hand especially with the metal bezel. Screen isn't curved so shouldn't be a fortune to replace if ever needed. Anyway it's fast, packed with features, functions & lots lots more. Would I recommend it?............That depends what you're upgrading from.

I recently purchased unbelievable performance switch from iOS

very buggy, laggy, kicks me out off apps often, overheats quickly, i expected better. I remember when i first got my galaxy s9. it was so good. i still cant fault it. honestly the s9 is performed better than the s22. i expected the s22 to be a massive upgrade coming the s9 but its let me down severely. i dont this specific to my device but surely this is unacceptable from samsung. ive been a samsung customer for years and thought that id ever had the idea to even think of switching to apple but the s22 has put thought in my mind.

I'm about 4 weeks into the phone and I think average is fair. First of all, the realisation that there is no SD card slot is in my opinion a massive backward step. If you want to compete with iphones, try to better. Don't just copy. And on that subject, why follow suit with Apple and their decision to have a weird aux input. Again, not progress. The next gripe I have with the truly hit and miss finger print and facial recognition security. I've disabled fingerprint authentication now it was so rubbish. I admit to having a screen protector on but other phones can cope with it so why can't this one. I kept my S9+ for about 4 years. Don't think I'll still have this in 4 years. As a Samsung and Android fan, it's all a bit disappointing. Robin

Phone performs well, as you would expect from the latest flagship model with one exception - battery life. To be fair, the support guide suggests this improves after the first couple of weeks and that is true, I can now get about 14 hours on a 85% charge (I've capped the charging capacity to maintain battery life) rather than the 8 it was lasting initially. I've had to remove a couple of high-drain apps (Facebook being one if those). The phone itself is cute (bora purple), feels well-made and the screen is exceptional.

I'm becoming increasingly disappointed with Samsung. The latest phones (S20 and S21) have been below average in my view. Both get extremely hot when doing simple things (the S20 was enough to burn me), the materials used to make the housing lack quality (I had to replace my S20 screen twice, camera glass, back cover, and my S21 has developed a crack on the bottom corner of the phone, in spite of it being in a military grade case with back and front cover. The phone is also quite slow. All in all, its disappointing

Disappointing a premium price for a phone which is smaller, doesn't have a headphone jack, doesn't have a MicroSD card slot and doesn't come with a charger or headphones it even has a smaller battery. My s8+ had all of these things the only thing the s22 is better at than my old s8+ is having a slightly larger battery and better performance every other aspect is worse. (The s22 has a better camera but that's not important to me in the slightest I don't need a camera that's any better than what the s8+ had)

Prevously I owned a S22ultra.... the best phone I ever had, but it seemed too bog for me and I got this one...which seemed almost the same phone but smaller. Not true. A totallh different phone: from cameras to screen, it acts slower, pictures are different(lower quality), I struggle to unlock it sometimes as you have to put your finger perfectly straight on the very middle of the spot, if you change your look it won't recognize your face either. Sizewize it's ok, but there are massive differences to a flagship model, even if it's the latest mpdel. It takes very long to boot and it does not see all the bluetooth devices around it.... I feels more like an A series rather than S... I was more content about my S9+ model, but it did not suport updates anymore so I had to upgrade it...

I have an S10e and decided it was time to upgrade. I like the smaller mobiles so this S22 was the closest in size. It's a shame that Samsung have stopped the SD card slot as it limits you for storage. Because of this, I opted for the 256GB version. I like the feel of the phone, not cheap. I still haven't gotten round to using all of the features on the S22 as I am still using my S10e as well. The reason I haven't put my S10e away is because the S22 battery life isn't as good as I was hoping for and compared to the S10e, the S22 doesn't last as long which is disappointing to say the least. I'm not a gamer and just use the Internet to browse or scan a bit of social media. I don't have loads of apps running in the background either. So, the 3 stars is purely down to poor battery life.

Went for the online exclusive graphite version.worth the wait. Phone is robust and able to take flat tempered glass protectors again. Big plus. Software is powerful, quick and more intuitive. Camera is outstanding. Battery life is pretty good and it with various charging options is back in play quicker. Games play well, office software is easy and it just looks and plays the part. I have had a lot of samsung S range phones in the past. This is by far the one that has exceeded expectations the most.

The s22 don't feel any different from using my old s9,only difference is the battery is slightly better than the s9, being 4 years old and the battery wasn't upto any good. If the battery was cheaper to change on the s9 I wouldn't of bothered changing phones as its not much of an upgrade. Auto spell check is still useless and the camera is not really much different. I hate to say it but think my next phone will be apple just for the auto spell check which makes typing so much quicker and easier.

So in my rough 6-8months of having this phone I've picked up a few things, the fingerprint scanner doesn't work through my screen protector properly, the face recognition isn't consistent, there are camera features I'd like to have changed like keeping flash on the front camera whilst filming because it turns off, the camera in general is good, the user interface is decently fast but it slows down occasionally even with consistent restarts. And the battery could definitely do with lasting longer

It's very similar in functions to Galaxy S10e. Unfortunately I find a lot of memory is consumed by Samsung and Google ready installed apps that I do not want or need; also Bixby. I miss being able to instal an SD card as I don't like my photos in either Google or Samsung cloud, so now I will need to download to external source more often. I had to purchase new thicker cables for charging, my previous Samsung cables wouldn't work. It's ok. I wouldn't rave about it. It works. My 10e gave up.

The camera is great and it's a nice size device for smaller hands. The downside to the smaller device means the battery doesn't last long especially if you're a heavy user with multiple apps, using navigation or maps etc. Even with reducing screen quality, the battery goes down very fast. But it's a lovely looking device and no other issues so far. The cost is rather high but that's for the Samsung name of course. Would be nice to be able to get rid of the Samsung bloatware too...

I am incredibly disappointed with S22 since the beginning. Poor, poor battery, lacks autonomy. I exchanged my old Android phone of 4-5 years which battery didn't last a day, to S22 that doesn't last a day. Samsung says there's nothing they can do, and I have to keep regretting buying this expensive phone that encases a below average battery. Don't buy it, that's my honest advice to everyone. There are plenty of better and cheaper alternatives on the market.

I really like the size of the s22 I can operate it in 1 hand. The battery life is not what I am used to for a smaller device. My s10 fe was alot better. Phone cover and screen protector are a must on all phones now. It's shame they're is no sd card slot. For a refurbished phone or is working well I have no complaints apart from the battery. Top end phone manufacturers need to think about putting in a many features in their phones when they are charging about of money.

Its definitely a step up over my S10. Its faster and smoother. While I did love the aesthetic of the screen curving around the edge, the phone's easier to use without it. I do wish that Samsung still made the LED back covers that you could get for the S10 and S20 because they were really impressive. The flip case that's available for this just isn't the same. Overall quite happy, though if Samsung wanted to upgrade me for free, I also wouldn't complain.. hint hint

I have been a loyal Samsung phone user for two decades. This has been a choice and right up to my last phone, Galaxy S9+, I could not have been happier. Thus phone; S22, is a complete let down. Slow to load web pages & emails. Connection is dire at times. I still use the S9+ on a PAYG similar card on the same EE network as this S22. I can read and reply to emails on the S9+ while this thing is still loading the email app. Very, very disappointing from you Samsung.

The battery life goes so quickly, I have to charge it twice a day. It uses around 20% overnight when im not using it & all apps are closed. My 2 yr old S20FE lasted much longer. The phone itself seems a lot more laggy & I don't even use it that much. The camera is OK. The phone itself feels nice & easy to use but I wish I'd kept my old phone 😔 the mobile data doesn't kick in when WiFi is dodgy so I have to switch off the WiFi to "force" the data to work.

I replaced my old S20 after two years and the only thing that was really bothering me was the battery life. If anything the S22 is worse than a aged S20!! I wish I'd just bought a new battery and not wasted my money. If I'm going to the gym for an hour I need my S22 to be at minimum 40% charge. One hour! Totally useless phone and will be switching to Apple. The camera is okay. Or it would be if the phone ever had enough battery life to use it....

It's probably a very good phone but I've been forced to buy a replacement for my Blackberry due to the closure of 3G. It's a slipey slidey phone and I don't like it. All I want to do is send and receive texts and calls - NOTHING ELSE. It won't accept my finger print and I have to keep writing my password. I cannot easily access contacts, Messages and calls without having to be faced with lots of 'stuff' I'm not interested in.

I'm very happy with the phone itself, but very disappointed that the battery is so weak I have to charge it 3 times a day! I wouldn't have bought it had I known it would be so bad. So thanks but no thanks, I would have rather paid a bit more and get a decent charged up battery than having to constantly charge it, the option wasn't available. But the promise was good, and it's far from it. But other than that the phone is great.

Its a pretty good phone. I haven't had any issues with it really. Just a few annoying things I can find. It's too east to take a screenshot, I take many of the lock screen. Whe it does an update, be sure to switch it off and on again otherwise it can use 50% battery in 2hrs without over using it. 3rdly its slows down really badly when battery is getting very low. Overall great phone though and I really love it.

Its just really a good phone and I love how it has the galaxy ai feature i always am asking Gemini and stuff random questions I think the whole samsung team have done a great job on this phone and other phones and I love the design it is so easy for me to hold but the battery life doesn't last the longest but the display and performance is really good and the carmra quality is good for taking some nice photos.

Just an okay phone, there are phones out there that are more value for money, i prefer my old oppo phone, the samsung s22 is a bog standard phone with nothing special to back it up, keyboard is awkward, battery life is terrible, screen display is good ( what you expect for a phone ) is quick but i barely notice the difference compared to other phones, crashes alot when on the internet, overall a solid 5/10

Seems especially great after upgrading from a cheap Motorola, everything just works so well and the camera is excellent (especially the telephoto). Previous reviews mentioning bad battery are obviously by people who haven't given it time for the adaptive battery to work, it's definitely on the weaker side but more than usable. I also got it cheaper on a student discount and with trade in which is great.

I got this as my last phone died. I've consistently had Samsungs over the years only straying once or twice to Nokia or Sony (I am getting on a bit so I've had a fair few phones) I must say it's not my favourite by a long stretch. The call quality is poor and regularly cuts out. Today it decided to turn off mid phone call when fully charged. Battery life is extremely poor for a.bramd new phone

A nice product. Fast, loads of memory space.Fingerprint sensor works well, but not through an tough glass screen protector. However the screen seems very tough in itself. The android auto seem to be not compatible with my Peugoet car however. MyS9 worked as expected however. There is lots of chatter online about this. I bought it refurbished from a well know online central american retailer.

I upgraded from a galaxy S20+ and don't think I made the right decision. The battery life is poor, my 2 year old S20+ was lasting a lot longer, even accounting for difference in battery size. Similar use, I don't get much more than 12-14 hrs out of this one compared to over 24hrs with the 2 year old S20+. I have also found the S22 to be very glitchy, with social media apps often crashing.

The phone its looking amazing. I love the colour options, amazing as always. Just one thing I don't like it's that the phone is not coming with the charging head ,only with cable with is both sides type c , so can't be used with the charging head from previous samsung and the battery doesn't seem to last as long as my previous phone ( samsung s20 fe ). Apart from that the phone its good.

It's not a bad little phone it's a bit slow but nothing major battery life could be better when compared to other phones it has some handy features like the wag it can lock when you're playing a game and the game will continue to play so that's handy when you're on a game that's not all about constantly doing stuff and involves waiting good speaker volume and can take good quality photos

Had issues with a few glitches in the phone, which for the price is very annoying. GPS will just stop working intermittently, I'll be driving with directions and it'll just stop. Every time I start the ine it says something about sim card 2 not in. Battery life for normal usage you won't get a full day out of it in my experience. Had the Huawei p30 pro previously, a much better phone.

Would rate it 5 stars if not for one. Small. Thing. The front camera does not have a 0.5 feature, which is so annoying. I love the 0.5 camera, i switched from an iPhone 13 to this, and while it id so much better, the camera is what i miss, amazing quality on the camera though, it is really great in terms of quality, totally recommened if you dont care about having 0.5 front camera.

I like the smaller size which fits my hand well. The phone is well designed and comfortable to hold in one hand. The performance is great, apps run very smoothly. The only problem is the battery life is not very good. I can still have 6-7 hours of screen time because I don't play games but might be an issue for power users. I am satisfied with it and would recommend for others.

I've had this handset a little while and and I had to readjust as its much smaller than my previous handset. It looks great and feels good in the hand-texting gets easier once you've adjusted. However, it does lag and freeze up often without the handset being hot. Pictures are decent but I think I'm biased coming from a Samsung A905G. Overall so far the handset is okay.

Fantastic, and reliable. My previous galaxy S7 was the worst, most unreliable phone I have ever owned- this is amongst the best. Good design and performance. The display is sharp and clear. The battery drains fairly quickly, but the recharge time is excellent. The camera is good, but Samsung phones always struggle with night photography . That's still got to improve.

First impressions of S22 were great - fabulous display, good photos and very smooth and fast in use. The device has one critical flaw though - the battery life! After nearly 2 weeks daily use, the battery drain issue showed no sign of improving and I returned the device. (Device sitting on idle overnight in night mode would deplete a fully charged battery to around 75% in 7 hours, never got 24 hours out of battery and usually felt need to top up early evening as level fell below 25%.) I thought I just had a rouge device and was about to get an S22 Ultra on contract until I searched online and discovered that numerous customers with Exynos equipped handsets are experiencing similar battery battery issues and a lot of other prolems too. I have been great fan of Samsung handsets for over a decade but have concluded that buying any of current S22 range is just going to be a source of frustration and disappointment.

Battery & charging is now much better than my last phone, the reason for the change. I like the design and the display is clear & bright. I find the camera easy to use though have not had the chance to explore the many things it can do. The overall performance is very good, however I do miss the indication for missed calls & text messages which I had on the old phone.

I chose it for its size and that's fine. The material quality is excellent. The Samsung ecosystem also works well for everyday use. However, the battery drains very quickly. Even with very light daily use, there is still 40% left in the battery. And with active music listening it lasts half a day. Charging speed is disappointing, with a current rate of about 5 years.

This is my first and last Samsung the battery sucks and destroys the experience. When I don't use it the battery won't even last a day and when I do use it 4 hours later its dead. I spent 45 pounds on a speed plug and that's now not working so it takes over 2 hours to charge and you get 4 not great battery life. The features tho are amazing if you could only use them

The perils of buying online... The S22 feels and looks like a Nokia 640, it feels cheap and nasty the overall design feels flawed you can't rest it flat on a table, it rocks because of the cameras on one side. The battery life is pitiful and after 6 months of moderate use has worse longevity than my old S10, which by comparison felt good quality. Very disappointed

I love the design of the phone, but it gets so hot and does not hold its battery well at all. Most days it has ran out of battery before 5pm. I am always charging it! Without realising the colour has come off the dge of the screen, have not dropped it I assume something has rubbed against it. Would not recommend this version. Nice colour phone and a decent camera.

Samsung phones have been having more and more issues and this one is no exception. Never even dropped it next to water but after 6 months of using it I get random water warnings that make no sense. I've had several Samsungs throughout my life and the overall quality and durability is decreasing, as the past 3 models all had this issue. The camera is very good.

When I lose network connection, I often need to restart my phone to reconnect. It doesn't do it automatically itself. I've never had this issue with any other phone/brand. I'm not sure if it's just my phone or any S22 or other Samsung phones, but it can be inconvenient at times. Other than that, it's a great phone, easy to use, good features, size, and camera!

Apart from the camera quality being the only thing I've enjoyed about this phone, the rest has been abysmal. The call quality is poor, the amount of times I have to restart the device to complete simple tasks is outrageous. This has most definitely made me think twice about weather I'll go back to samsung in the future. I am very dissatisfied with the s22.

I've had the s22 for 4 months now. My old 6 year old sony xz premium phone had the same battery life towards the end of its use. There are too many power options, seems like samsung knew about the battery on the s22 and tried to make adjustments to it. They don't work though. The dast charger is good but weigh that against how many times you use it.
