Excellent review. I find your site consistently has the best reviews for the average person who is genuinely looking to buy a new phone or tablet. I was looking to upgrade from a S7 to a S22 and your review has been the final clincher. Thank you for your informative, honest and unbiased opinion which has never let me down in the past. My S7, besides having to be charged a few times each day, is still going strong.

    For instance, how about 'standard'?

          Am I the only one who saw that the reviewers ran the ***EXTREME*** version of 3D Mark Wild-life ***STRESS TEST***, not the regular version like in almost every other review (except a few)??

          This surely doesn't seem a good way to judge a compact phone imo!!

          Maybe it's an oversight or maybe planned!

              I wonder what is the PWM on this phone, as samsungs flagships are usually pretty bad at it, I mean they don't write it because flagships are worse than eg. cheap xcover.

                One of the best reviews of S22 I have read. But repeating the word "vanilla" way too often is annoying. But that is problem of many gsmarena articles.

                  the konigsberger, 25 Mar 20225000 or 6000 mah battery power on mobiles or maybe even 700... moreWTH?!?! That is the last thing I would want. My Samsung tablets all have 7000mAh batteries. The phone would be way too heavy. And way too thick. I can already go all day on my S22 SD unlocked on verizon wireless.

                  While the battery doesn't last as long as my S21 did, I can still make it all day. I did not need to charge my S21 away from home. And after thirty one days with my S22, so far, I have had no needed to charge my S22.

                    5000 or 6000 mah battery power on mobiles or maybe even 7000 mah.

                      should only be 4 star cuz of battery edurance...its 2022 flagship android should perform close or better than last year

                                  blue, 24 Mar 2022Mi 9T beats S22? In which alternate timeline?Indeed, Mi 9T beats Galaxy S22 in all the important categories. Let's go over all of them:
                                  - Mi 9T is Xiaomi, S22 isn't
                                  - Mi 9T has a red circle around it's main camera, S22 doesn't
                                  - Mi 9T is available in blue color, S22 isn't
                                  - Mi 9T is significantly heavier so you always know it's in your pocket (no need to be afraid of losing it)
                                  - Did I mentioned that Mi 9T is Xiaomi?

                                  Xiaomi wins once again. How can Samsung ever recover from this complete humiliation?

                                      Are the reviewers required to have a minimum number of pros and cons? The non-existent charger is listed as a con for the S22 but not for the iPhone.
