[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This review is for Galaxy S22.
I use this phone for both personal use & work.
Personal: Emails, calendar, appointment reminders, alarm, bills, video & photo editing, health & exercise, tracking my kids, texts, messages, some social media, shopping, traveling, streaming movies, listening to audio books, list of to does, notes, internet browsing, tap pay, zoom mtgs, google drive, and so much more. I have downloaded apps for so much more stuff that I need to do.
Work: Check emails, calendars, to-do's, G-Form, and Zoom.
Yes, I use my phone so much.
What I like about my phone is that I can increase my storage by increasing the size of my SD card. That is the most important to me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So my last phone recently stopped worked and I upgraded to this phone. So far it has had amazing battery life to help me get through my day without having to charge it 3 to 4 time in order to fully experience my phone. From the amazing battery life to great photo quality, this is one of the best phones I've had in years if not the best. Truly an amazing phone for multitasking and amazing sound quality. Great phone overall.
Firstly, this phone is actually really good, the phones overall design is nice, the glass back, the sides, even the screen are all good aspects of the phone, to top it off it performs really well, with the memory storage, speeds, and graphics support, its a great contender against other flagships from other brands.
Secondly, this is a huge step for me personally, from a S7 Edge to a S22, that is a big jump, the performance, battery life, and display are all good pointers, there are a few things missing that I would like to see back but that would bring me to my third reason.
Thirdly, my biggest disappointment about this phone is the loss of the headphone jack, SD card slot, and the lack of a good data-cable with a charging brick, sure you 'save' cardboard and materials, but in the end you are still in need to make the bricks, and put them in separate boxes, in the long run you are actually producing more waste, there should have been an option in the store to add a brick for free, especially for those who do not have a means to charge their phones starting out. The other issue to this is, its a clear copy cat move on Samsung's part, if I want an Apple, ill go get an Apple Phone, stop trying to be like them and try to be yourselves, the SD card slot or external memory was a nice thing to have in your phone, now I have to deal with either the UI (DEX) or windows file explorer, and a headphone jack was nice for when you wanted to listen to music without having to deal with more E-waste like earbuds. Also this phone doesn't come with a USB-C to headphone jack connector, so that was a bummer, and something that should have been included for how much is being charged.
So in short? Great phone, but missing out on alot of stuff like a headphone jack, SD card slot, charging brick, data cable, and a USB-C to headphone Connector. Solutions? Atleast put the headphone jack back in and give an option for a charging brick, if you are not going to include a connector with a phone that doesn't have a jack, then its a inconvenience.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my phone primarily for verbal conversations and staying up with the news. Also social media messaging and jokes. Occasionally use the camera but haven't spent adequate time to really develop expertise. Takes nice, crisp pictures
