Finally decided to make the switch from IPhone to Android. The phone looks amazing and at the store seemed to work very good! So I decided to buy the s22+ the same day it was released. I had been team apple for years! So switching to android had me extremely excited! Something new. I had this phone for about a week. The camera on this phone is very nice but front camera NOT SO GOOD. Screen looked amazing but while scrolling the phone felt like it lagged quite a bit just not as smooth. And the biggest CON was the battery life on it I was shocked on how quickly the battery was draining without me even using the device my battery percentage just kept decreasing. I couldn’t go a whole day without having to charge the device. Still on the 3rd day I had hopes and was still willing to give Android a shot. Unfortunately I just couldn’t keep the device. I had to exchange the device for an iPhone once again! iOS is just as smooth as they come. Front camera on iPhone is by far better than on S22+. I definitely feel like Samsung does have the potential but they just really need to tweak up the battery game which was my biggest issue with this device. Even though both iPhone and Samsung are top notch devices, if you are iPhone user and decide to make the switch to android I guarantee that it will feel like a downgrade. Just my opinion based of my experience.
Battery life is terrible. Screen is often non responsive. Voice texting is horrible. I would go back to my Note if my display hadnt completely gone out.
I use to have the S9 and when it came time to upgrade; I knew I wanted the S22 plus. I've had it for a few weeks and so far I'm loving it. Sooo much has changed since the S9. I probably won't upgrade for some time now but I feel like I'll be satisfied in the mean time. If you're wanting something different then get the S22 plus.
Coming from a Galaxy S9 this phone is a win from start to finish. A little bigger, a lot brighter, a lot faster, faster charging, better battery life, made with better materials, a serious upgrade on the electronics inside and better connectivity. I'm quite pleased with it.
The battery life on this is terrible battery doesn't even last 2 hours and that is without using it. I had a Google pixel 2 and the battery lasted for at least 30 hours before it needed to be charged. Picture quality is terrible it changes the colors of the objects in the picture for example, white turns blue. I am returning this.
Had it for 3 weeks and feel like I'm charging it every 5 hours. Probably the worst battery life of any phone I've ever had. Other than that it's a great phone.
