[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had our S22 now for a few months. Absolutely love them. I've had Galaxy phones now for over 12 yrs and they are great phones. The S22 has super cameras and many other features.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 4 months ago because they made it smaller than the previous generation. I am so glad I did its a wonderful phone and beautiful.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Galaxy S22 day one to replace my Galaxy S8 for Web AR development. It was a good improvement over the now 5 year old phone (time flies). I find the 120hz refresh rate very nice to look at, but the max resolution is actually capped at 1080p. This hasn't been an issue for me though, since phone sizes are much smaller than PC screens. The new touchscreen fingerprint reader works really nicely and is much more convenient than the awkward one on the back of the S8. However, I've had issues with it overheating lately, even when I wasn't doing Web AR stuff. It simply closes out several apps if this happens. Its battery is also 3,700 mAh, which at least for my uses with video, 3D rendering, etc., it always seems to run out pretty fast. My wife also seems to not really like the camera either.
Pros: Simple to upgrade from other Samsung phones, decently powerful, nice screen refresh rate, simple and solid design Cons: Battery life is kind of bad, may overheat, camera is so-so
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After not having an Android phone for a while I decided to get this on a trade in deal with Google Fi and I really enjoy it! The under display fingerprint scanner and always on display are my two favorite features. But I also love the edge panels and the camera are good too. I knocked off 1 start because battery life has been rather disappointing to be honest. Only really get around 5-6 hours of screen on time. Other than that this phone is great and I would recommend outside of the battery issues.
You have to hold 2 buttons down at the same time to turn off the phone. Battery life sucks. I am stuck with this phone for the next 2 years.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not as user friendly as my Galaxy 10+ was. No longer can plug earphones, must get wireless to listen to music. Also had to buy new charger.
