Holding back 5th star until I can give the phone a good workout. So far, so good. Seems to have a faster/smoother processor than the S9+ it replaced. I know I will enjoy the extra memory available.
The flat screen is an improvement over the rounded edge screen. The fingerprint recognition is much improved.
This is a great fast phone. I was coming from an S20 which I thought was a great phone, couldn't resist free upgrade. I like the processing speed and how things are much quicker and responsive than my other phone, which was only 2 years old. Occasionally it hangs (freezes), but that can be the app or apps in use at the time. The camera is great as well, can't complain, and the screen is beautiful. The one star less is because it didn't have a memory slot. I had a 512GB memory card in my other phone for oodles of space. Next time, I will need to read the fine print and get a version that has an expansion slot. I didn't lose anything, but having the extra space is always a plus. Other than that, love the phone so far. Battery life has been great and it does charge fast.
I miss the sensor for reading pulse and other Samsung Health info, but that's a short list of issues! The move from a 10_ to a 22+ was super-easy and took far less time than expected using the Transfer app. As to the phone, it's clean lines and good use of space are only part of the story, with fast processing of apps, sites and more. Expanded storage options mean no more need for a separate micro SD, and less hiccups with apps that rely on the storage. It took a day or two to get used to the buttons being moved from one side to the other, and a few settings are also tweaked, but I am enjoying the upgrade!
