Samsung Galaxy S22+ review
While arguably getting increasingly boring (or tamer for lack of better words) over the last few years, Samsung’s flagship offers are nothing if not consistent. The displays on the vanilla and plus are now slightly shorter but do promise certain technological improvements. The display, while slightly shorter, gets an impressive brightness boost this year, thanks to Samsung OLED development. 6.60″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1750 nits (peak), 1080x2340px resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 393ppi; Always-on display. Front camera: 10 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/3.24″, 1.22µm, Dual Pixel PDAF. Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, ultrasonic); NFC; Samsung DeX, Samsung Wireless DeX (desktop experience support), Bixby natural language commands and dictation, Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), Ultra Wideband (UWB) support.
Though, that hasn’t proven to offer a huge practical advantage over Samsung’s 25W tech in the past. You can check detailed pricing on the entire S22 lineup and the Galaxy Tab S8 here, but the S22+ basically starts at $1,000, €1,050 or £950, which is essentially the original S21+ MSRP. Getting the same price point is not an insignificant feat given the ongoing tough situation regarding supply chain and material shortages in the tech industry as a whole. So, that’s the S22+ in a nutshell – an incremental boring upgrade for some, a consistently-solid all-around flagship with no unexpected potentially deal-breaking surprises or price hikes for others. If you were wondering, Samsung didn’t reverse its decision to exclude a charger from the retail box. The thin and compact two-piece box is made from 100% recycled paper, and Samsung has limited the use of plastics in the packaging as much as it can too.
The printing is done with soy-based ink as well, making this among the most ecological retail packages around.
Samsung Galaxy S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra hands-on review
Samsung’s non-foldable top-shelf roster for 2022 includes three phones – standard practice in the last few years, but for the first time one of them is a Note in disguise. The most advanced Galaxy that doesn’t fold in half (and it’s superior to those in many ways, but let’s not go into that now) will get you a super-bright 6.8-inch OLED display, an improved main camera and more telephotos than most (two is more than the usual one), the latest chipsets from Qualcomm or Samsung, and the versatility of the stylus for both work and play.
6.80″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1750 nits (peak), 1440x3088px resolution, 19.3:9 aspect ratio, 500ppi; Always-on display. Rear camera: Wide (main) : 108 MP, f/1.8, 24mm, 1/1.33″, 0.8µm, Dual Pixel PDAF, Laser AF, OIS; Ultra wide angle : 12 MP, f/2.2, 13mm, 120˚, 1/2.55″, 1.4µm, dual pixel PDAF, Super Steady video; Telephoto : 10 MP, f/2.4, 70mm, 1/3.52″, 1.12µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom; Telephoto : 10 MP, f/4.9, 230mm, 1/3.52″, 1.12µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS, 10x optical zoom.
Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, ultrasonic); NFC; Samsung DeX, Samsung Wireless DeX (desktop experience support), Bixby natural language commands and dictation, Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), Ultra Wideband (UWB) support. The non-Ultra Galaxy S22s are less dividing – they’re not as extreme and target a more mainstream clientele.
A couple of shrewd choices on Samsung’s part certainly help, particularly with the S22 proper – it’s got a glass back this year, so it’s not missing out on that premium feel, and it’s also a touch smaller to lure in the seemingly ever-growing number of consumers looking for a more pocket-friendly alternative. The non-Ultras get the same chipsets too, lower-res but still spectacular screens, same materials in the body as the true flagship, and a refined design building on last year’s. 6.10″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1300 nits (peak), 1080x2340px resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 422ppi; Always-on display. 6.60″ Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, HDR10+, 1750 nits (peak), 1080x2340px resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, 390ppi; Always-on display. Front camera: 10 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/3.24″, 1.22µm, Dual Pixel PDAF. Misc: Fingerprint reader (under display, ultrasonic); NFC; Samsung DeX, Samsung Wireless DeX (desktop experience support), Bixby natural language commands and dictation, Samsung Pay (Visa, MasterCard certified), Ultra Wideband (UWB) support.
