After weeks of deliberating hard on whether I should get this phone, I must say that the horror stories about its battery life as well as proofs of it by YouTubers, have finally dissuaded me from purchasing it.
I initially took this issue with a grain of salt 'cause I've seen videos of battery tests on this phone result to ~7.5hrs of SoT, and it may not be the best, but that's already great for me. Granted, these tests were done only a few short months after the phone's release.
But then I also heard people reporting only 3-4hrs of SoT, which got me worried. Even after seeing "day in the life" videos that proved this, I still didn't believe it would remain that terrible 'cause some users said the phone learns about your usage over time and gets a better mileage after it's done calibrating. But this video posted 2 weeks ago solidified the complaints for me: https://youtu.be/zJpPjInPSjE
If I have to deal with overheating from normal use (e.g. not gaming) and a camera that doesn't inspire confidence, those are simply too many uncertainties I run the risk of dealing with for a phone that's supposed to be best in class.
It's such a shame 'cause I really love the S22's size and design. The only other latest Android phone I could consider for my preferred size (150mm tall at most) and display (flat, OLED, 120Hz, 400ppi at least), with great camera and battery life, is the Asus Zenfone 9—and I'm not even too fond of its design 😕
I guess I have no choice but to go for an iPhone, even if I didn't initially plan on spending over $700. It seems the best choice if I want to keep the phone for a long time, unless I make the sacrifice of buying a phone that's almost 2 years old...
Is the S21 still a good buy? For those who own it, how does the S21's bigger battery vs the S22's translate into your SoT? What apps do you use frequently?
If you own an S22 and you're having a better experience, how long have you had the phone? What's your average SoT and what apps do you use? Did you do any configurations to get a better battery life? Which chipset do you have, Snapdragon or Exynos?

Rareart1, 28 Oct 2022Now that tons alleged leaks of s23's are circulating i... moreThe S23 will have a faster and newer SoC. And because TSMC is manufacturing it( and it being a newer SoC) it should be much more efficient than the S22 SoC is. Otherwise, I don't expect much of a difference between the two. But with the more efficient SoC and slightly larger battery, the S23 should have much longer battery life than the S22.
But I will definitely be getting an S23 at launch. Or even possibly an S23+. And trading in my S22 towards it.

hello, i changed my s20 fe sd to s22 because of the size and it is a shame that this s22 is worse in all aspects compared to the s20fe sd. s22 camara worse, battery, speed. I already had s10e , s10 plus and whoever exchanges for this expensive freak that doesn't pay is for money or garbage

Like you said, 1080p and 8 gb ram, the S22 is a lite version with most features missing. If it wasn't for the chip, this phone would have been a mid ranger

The new aspect ratio alone was worth it. Because now I can easily use it with one hand. With my S21 I could not reach the upper left area when trying to use with one hand. Plus my S22 has been better than my S21 in every way, except for the battery life.
