Back to my S20 5G and even it's 2 years old battery is really good 5h screen on time. I feel cheated by Samsung, S22 felt like a downgrade. Especially the 8GB of ram compared to 12GB in S20 was noticeable.

        The sales off S22Ultra outtakes the s22.


        Beyond laughable, that the s22 has only 8gb Ram in 2022.

        12gb is standard, especially Android requires lot off Ram.

Same people that can afford higher memory configuration, top quality tws, cloud storage etc. So no, nobody bought galaxy s series cause its still had a jack. Processor, screen, innovation, reliability, market leadership,smart marketing, service and support, a peace of mind.. It was that.

            Just got the S22 2 weeks ago and I love this phone. It's a nice upgrade from the S20. This is by far the best phone on the market today. Choose Samsung over iPhone anytime.
            Gonna be interesting to see the S24 when the time comes. Highly recommend the S22 phone.

Those features are really what made Samsung stand out in the PREMIUM segment, before they turned into Scamsung, selling ripped-off devices for mega expensive (proof is here with sales declining).

                I don't want to burst your bubble, but I got into the Art School - Photo/Video section with a scholarship (that means I didn't pay for anything) with photos made ONLY with an old HTC phone. No DSLR or anything similar. I didn't even knew how to take a photo with a DSLR before that.
                My point is that you don't need a professional camera to take professional photos. That's a myth that bad photographers invented.
                Also, after I was accepted, the photo teacher really hated me because I wasn't using expensive equipment and I was never taking photos of almost naked girls or sunsets 🤮. He's a commercial prostitute if you ask me and clearly he's got nothing in mind but money, not art.
                What I can confirm is that EVERYONE, including pro photographers are still using the SD card in every camera, professional or not.
                My 1TB SD card is simply WOW and I use it just for backup and storage purposes. Speed is IRRELEVANT for that. And it's not like I spend every day transferring files :))
                Don't be a hater just because you are not using the SD card.
                Peace! 👽🖖

                  The baker, 05 Apr 2022It is not GOS, it is the poor battery life, the Exynos and ... moresell it when you still can! I luckily realized my S22 has super poor battery(4h SoT) and returned it directly to samsung. But seeing second hand almost new S22 price dropped like 20% in one month i dont see bright future for S22 series. People are selling them fast to get rid of the problem.

                      Even with GOS limiting phone speed, with power saving mod on, dark mode, 60Hz and no 5G all i could get is 4:50h screen on time. With everything on thats around 4h. These phones are a joke from consumers.

                            I returned my S22 because of poor battery life. Imagine my 2-year old S20 has better battery!! Btw i live in China and stupid Samsung stores keep their phones default navigation setting with 3 navigation buttons instead of gestures. 100% of chinese competitors default setting are gestures. Samsung feels outdated with 3 navigation buttons.

                                I have no problem with my s22 ultra I have no need for a SD card I have 256 gb I never use more then 45gb
                                And for the people going on about encryption to protect thire pictures and videos unless you have something to hide why should you care if someone steals your phone and sees your pictures if your that worried your pics are going to be "seen" maybe the police should see what your hiding in that phone of yours "just saying" in most cases if you have something to hide it's illegal or your just a closet homosexual it's 2022 no one cares lol but my s22 ultra battery lasts just fine and I love my phone I loved my note 20 ultra and I even liked my fold 2 but my ultra 22 is a upgrade in everyday

                                        i did not consider upgrading my s20 plus because sd card slot is important to me and performance. Also, the wireless earbud they make does not perform well; it always disconnect when calling via fb messenger. for me the smartphone manufacturers removed the headset jack to sell you a more expensive and disposable wireless earpiece after a certain amount of use.
