Anonymous, 31 Mar 2022This or S22?See the differences yourself. S21: Plastic back (for protection but less premium), a bit bigger display and body, better battery life. S22: Glass back, smaller body and worse battery life. Personally, I would get the S21. I'm actually pissed because I can't directly compare the S21 and S22's prices in Australia. You'll have to do it yourself, in your local stores. But, I'd say S21 is $50 cheaper.

Don't tell me now that the battery in the s22 is not much worse than s21. Youtube videos show that if you game, S22's battery life gets obliterated!

      This or S22?

        RandyRiffin, 29 Mar 2022the size and performance difference is not that muchIt might not be much but it is noticeable. The size is very noticeable to me. Because with the S21, I needed to shift it in my hand to reach the upper left corner of the screen. While with the S22, I do not need to shift the phone in my hand to reach any point on the screen.

        And while the S21 is very fast, the S22 is faster. Especially the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader on my S22 seems like it reads instantly. While the S21 seemed like a split second. The difference is small but easily noticeable.

Fe has give or take a better telephoto, otherwise everything is the same. So, for a lower price, ofc Fe is better!.. Always get Snapdragon over Exynos. Why is that even a question?

I never had any issues going all day or had a need to charge it in the middle of the day. And then with standby, it could easily last at least three days just sitting there.

                          It was easily one of the best mobile phones. But surpassed by the S22. Except for the battery capacity in the S22.

                            This is the worst ever mobile phone I had . It does mot worth its cost . The problem is not the cost,it is very diappointing mobile with very poor battery performance . I dont recommend for anyone

It was easily better than my S10(or my work LG or iPhone I had). And my S10 was easily better than my S8. And my S8 was easily better than my S6. And my S6 was easily better than the HTC phones I had owned prior. And those HTC phones were better than the Nokia phones I had owned prior.

                              Now my S22 is easily the best phone I have owned.

                                    Not a pleasant experience with this phone. It gets very hot quickly when playing games, it has mediocre battery life too. Not recommended to buy. ❌❌❌

                                        Sorry to say, this is the worst Samsung phone my husband and I have owned! Phones aren't even a year old! We both are having similar issues: Calls dropped, Unable to call out, Battery drains quickly, Phone needs to be restarted several times a day because it will not refresh voice mail, email, and social media. The options offered are...Take it to a walk-in store to be serviced. But they don't have one within a 100 mile radius from where we are! Second option (Our only option) is send the phone in for service. HELLO..who goes without their phone for days?! The disappointing thing is, Samsung is not really concerned about rectifying this. I even talked to a supervisor (Aljhun) and he was no help at all.
                                        SO....PAY OVER $1,000 PER PHONE, STILL IN WARRANTY, SAMSUNG DOESN'T REALLY CARE!
