Too small battery, missing SD card, audio jack, phones belongs to the rubbish. Very disappointed Samsung.

    I need confirmation that the 6.1 screen on the S22 is enough to justify the shitty 3700mAh battery.
    This is the cheapest SD powered phone with an eSim in KSA :(

      Ivo., 09 Feb 2022Smaller telephoto pixel size and less RAM than the S21 Ultr... moreComing from a previous Note owner I can say that the Note design is far better than the industry standard rounded corners. Aside from the powerhouse that the S21U is I would trade it in a heartbeat for a S22U.

        So for S22 Ultra they have space for a pen but not enough space for microSD/Headphone jack?(l can even forgive headphone jack but microSD is a must) And base model with 128GB storage/8GB ram is a joke, when you claim it can record 8k videos.

        Before someone says "Just use cloud" no l wont, and good luck finding high speed data when you are outdoors/abroad.

          Grey, 12 Feb 2022I really don't understand the hype... Samsung trolls A... moreWell said +2.
          Samsung thinks it can go the way of Apple fleecing consumers for higher prices while decreasing cost, cutting corners & not giving what consumers want, but there is 1 big difference - the Android space has many hungry competitors who are innovating, listening to customers, & coming up with cutting edge phones at a fraction of Samsung's ridiculous prices.
          Good riddance, if Samsung doesn't wake up soon & revert to what used to set them apart from competitors (top-notch specs across all flagships in elegant, sleek, lightweight form factor, SDcard support etc.), it won't be long before they're overtaken by the rest.

            2. Galaxy S22 and S22+ hands-on:

            "There'll be little to compare on the ultrawide end, where the hardware remains the same (and that means no autofocus, which... should we even bother complaining about?)."

            It's a shame if no AF on the UW means no Macro capability.

              AnonD-731363, 11 Feb 2022To be honest apart the fact is just a costly gimmick with m... more"Another useless gimmick is lack of 3,5mm jack and SD slot. I know there is an cloud storage but not every country or region have stable fast internet service and cloud storage is clostly."


              Lol, for years you've argued against me about the benefits of the MicroSD card & 3.5mm jack.
              Now that your wish to have them removed has been granted, you're asking for them back! Lol.

                  They feel like sh8t in the hands, really slippery and that ultra is annoyingly massive. You cannot use them without a case, the s21 series you could. The only compact option that remains is Sony I'm afraid.

                      My s21 ultra just dying after 2 months since I've buy it.
                      And now we're still arguing with Samsung for replacing.
                      They offer us an s22+ witch is not the same as specifications like camera, GB ram, dimensions, batteries etc. How can I pay the contract for a premium top phone and they want to give us an sh.... phone?
                      Sh..... company witch didn't got respect for costumers.

                        No SD card
                        Not same chip world wide
                        More expensive in Europe, even if whe pay more for a cheaper product.
                        No charger, seems like nothing but after spending 1199.00 euros for a s22 plus ,to spend another 20.00 for a screen protection, another 20....30.00 euros for a case and another 50...60.00 euros for a charger...so Samsung no more xiaomi ,oppo... vivo ....

                        AND PEOPLE TOLD ME BOY IT ONLINE ,IF I BUY IT ONLINE SAMSUNG GALAXY WILL BE ONE OFF MY LAS CHOICES

                        MOTOROLA

                        ETC...ETC...ETC...ETC...

                        SAMSUNG IS NOT LISTENING TO THE CUSTOMERS

                          it is sad ! none of the 3 models have radio FM with the jack headphone plug !
                          it is a shame at that price !

                          Fingerprint reader is totally a gadget whereas Radio is not !

                            There are two reasons why I may upgrade to the S22+. First, my US carrier, Verizon, is offering USD 1000.00 to trade-in my S20 FE 5G and upgrade for an additional USD 10.00 per month to their highest Unlimited Data plan. Secondly, the S22+ will have access to the newest C-Band frequencies which will be even faster than the current 5G frequencies my S20 currently receives. I can't complain about my current 5G speed at home, though, since I average about 240 MB/SEC according to speedtest.net. The upgraded plan offers up to 600 GB of Cloud storage so I shouldn't miss not having the SD Card quite as much. Still thinking about it.

                              Again SD card is missing. I thought Samsung listen to what the customers wanted. I'll just have to wait again for another year, hopefully Samsung will get to its senses.

                                Not much difference from the note20 series. I'll stick to the note20 for now until they have a preview screen at the rear camera.

                                      I am very curious if the S22 generation will be as unsuccessful as the previous S21 generation. If S22s will be a success then Samsung is obviously on the right path. However my estimation would be that the S22s are as unsuccessful as the S21 generation because Samsung is not asking fans what features they want and instead is playing the Apple game without understanding Apple. Distribution of features between S22, S22+ and S22U is also weird. Friends complained they want to have the best camera but not want to pay a premium for the stylus in the S22U in addition to it being too heavy. All S22s should have the same camera setup. I want all features but in the form factor of the S22+ in addition to headphone jack, SD and fm. I wish Samsung would build in a feedback functionality in their phones to give customers the chance to give some input to Samsung.

                                        What *cheap* phones are available with high zoom of 100x digital zoom and above?
                                        I want a phone with high zoom, but the galaxy ultra price is too high at $1200. I don't care too much about the latest chip (as long as it performs fast for most ordinary tasks), water resistance or wireless charging.
