That's because there are actually people who don't spend their lives exclusively in front of the screen of a phone and/or use it as a gaming console. I see it on the forums when people post screenshots where they spent 7 or 8 hours in front of the screen out of 14 hours. Plenty of free time...
Sam, you've been upping your production quality with every single video. You really can't miss. Amazing! I would love to get a regular S22...next year.
@@GabeTheDark1 all around terrible performance, performs worse than a mid range phone. Gets very hot, causing lag in UI, charges extremely slowly if at all while in certain apps. I don't even game on my phone and it still heats up dramatically, horrible phone thanks to Snapdragon chipset
My suggestions for OneUI 5.0 - I need a Very big improvement in Animations - More Material You throughout the UI - Better Optimised battery life through Optimised Software - Stop Region locking Good Lock - Provide Software updates for all regions & devices at the same time -New notification panel UI Please Sam a video on this topic
I'm glad my 200$ cheap Samsung phone can run smooth for everyday use with AMOLED screen. One Hand Operations really come handy. Amen to full goodlock feature.
"Provide Software updates for all regions & devices at the same time" would just mean the latest of all the dates. Since updates the have to be approved by carriers.... Do you think they do this to annoy people?
For me I think they should integrate some apps from Good Lock into the software itself like the LockStar, but add more functionality like center locking.
I recently upgraded from a S9+ to the S22+ for $300 off on Amazon Prime Day. I love it so far! It DEFINITELY needs a case though. The camera is asking to be broken from a fall. I bought a case, glass screen protector, and a glass camera protector. It is now the ultimate phone!
@@rdb1 after having my phone for a month+ now, I can honestly say the battery life is kinda average. I use the power saving feature though, so I get better battery life. Still no complaints from me.
There is this speaker problem, when taking the phone to higher altitudes, or after a flight. Something about how the phone is unable to handle the atmospheric pressure or something due to its water resistant: removing the sim tray and inserting it back will do the trick.
You still have this issue? I wanted to buy this phone for my dad but he works in high altitude so I dunno, removing and inserting the sim everytime can be exhausting in the long run
I am currently using a S22 (not plus), and it's almost perfect to me -- stunning display, beautiful design, decent camera, customizable system, very light and compact, with only 2 drawbacks: battery life (which is acceptable to me) and heating issue (my biggest disappointment)
I currently have an S20. One thing that I've done is enable Developer Options. If you open up "Window Animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animator Duration scale", I've set all three to .5x. There are settings from Animation off to Animation 10x. The .5x or Animation Offsetting gives you faster transitions. Although pleasing to look at, I personally don't care about flashy transitions that seem to slow down the phone. Maybe the 120 refresh rate may eliminate the need for the setting changes mentioned above. A word of caution, however, is that I'm not a techno-geek so unless you are, I don't recommend trying out the other Developer Options as you could ultimately mess up the general phone settings.
You are confusing faster transitions with smoother transitions. I have experienced both Samsung and oneplus and I can tell you that even the 90hz display of a oneplus would beat the 120hz of samsung in terms of smoothness. This is due to software optimization. Samsung got better with it but still lacking with overall smoothness.
@@PrimePixelRU-vid nah purchased the s22+ and returned it for this exact issue apparently it has gotten worse since the s20 series. By far the worst on any phone.
@@nhyceelamanilao I don’t have it on mine. I mean for some reason I feel like Samsungs implementation if not taking burst shots when spam clicking is good.
I completely agree with your complaint about fluidity. I upgraded from a Note20Ultra, and I didn't even think that phone was super fluid but this phone has a lot of weird issues at times. It's exactly like you said that there can be almost a delay when doing an input, especially if I can't done anything with my phone for a few minutes. It almost feels like my phone isn't like awake or ready for me to do something and is surprised when I do lol, but once I start doing things it wakes up and works mostly fine. My only other issue is with camera apps. Whether it's the stock app or Snapchat, the phone absolutely chugs for some reason if I do literally any multitasking with a camera open. I have to make sure I clear all my apps before using the camera or it feels like it's crap out. I just did a cache wipe and a factory reset, hopefully that helps.
I'm experiencing the exact same issues that you descriped. Especially with camera apps like Snapchat. How did the cache wipe and factory reset workout for you?
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS I'm also using a pixel 6, it's definitely one of the worst panels they have used in a pixel, I think it's the only one to ever use rigid oled which is just an objectively worse technology than a flexible, let alone an LTPO
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS I had to Pixel 6 for about seven months But here in Southern California it just doesn’t get bright enough mine had kind of a green tint if you slightly turned it so pixel phone really good phone except for the screen in the modem which yeah phone got warm each time but I guess they had to save money somewhere
@@LOUISVILLECARDINALS Yeah I guess it just depends on where you live I’m outside a lot and here in Southern California it’s pretty bright so sometimes I find it not quite bright enough but hey it’s a really good phone
Using the 13 Pro max. But I’ve had the pixel 6 pro and S22 ultra. Both of those are gone and been using the s22+. It’s easily my favorite as a daily because of the build, solid not heavy, flat screen and not insanely big or wide. But I just can’t deal with the bad battery life.
@@renelicea6051 with all the settings I tweaked I’m getting right at 6hrs SOT. Decent but not impressive. But that’s while at home and on Wi-Fi. Every time I go out for the day, even with 5g turned off, it drops to 4hrs. Went to Six flags 2 days in a row and battery made it half way both days. Had to baby it so I can get pics I wanted.
@@smperl0c0 noooooooo, what do you use you’re phone for daily? And are you considered a heavy user? I’m trading my 12 pro max and getting the galaxy s22+ definitely don’t want battery to be such a downgrade since I travel
After using Samsung Galaxy S22+ for more than two months, I am sad to report that I regret buying it. Knowing what I know now I would have bought an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max instead of Samsung Galaxy S22+. After using the phone for more than two months and also reading other online reviews, I can conclude that the main problem with Galaxy S22+ is its Exynos 2200 chip which equips the variant sold in Europe. The problems which I saw: - My Bluetooth headphones didn't work with this phone. i had to buy a new pair. - When I browse the internet during Whatsapp calls. I get breaks in the audio. This happens all the time. - The battery life is poor. A one day trip to somewhere will run the battery flat. I was able to use my previous phones in the same way and my phones had still battery by the end of a one day trip. - Samsung's bloatware. Ever since I bought this phone, I have been busy turning off all kind of services from Samsung which I don't need and I don't want. - Each time there is a software update, the user interface becomes slower and the animations in the user interface present glitches which I hadn't noticed before the update.
Currently using the S21FE5G, but would love to use the S22 Ultra. But after watching this video, I may just want the plus, for similar features minus the cost.
@@fungorilla Honestly not much but can’t deny that ultra sonic one on the Galaxy is a little better. But is not as terrible as people say. Can’t tell too much of a difference between it and my wife’s Note 20 Ultra 🤷🏻♂️
there is a really good deal going on right now. 200£ cashback on S22 (not the plus or ultra) got the s22 128gb + free buds 2 for 388 after cashback and i still have my old s10 to sell so it'll end up being about 250£, not bad honestly! But, my plan will be to trade it in next march for the new 23+ or ultra you get about 400-500 trade in value on samsung, very excited for that next year
I've stopped using launchers because they don't seem to play well with Samsung, always a touch of lag. Do you think this might be the issue you're having?
Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus Camera does NOT have macro mode. The closest focus is at about 8cm, no matter which lens you use, and in both photo and video modes. It is a good phone in all other aspects.
the only reason i consider buying s23 + would be the consistent slim bezels. If they are going to increase the bezel width for s23+ it would be a downgrade from s22 and no we refuse to accept downgrades after paying for so much money
I love how they decided to make it a little smaller with the S22, under 6 inches would have been a little better tho... Just imagine the S22 with headphone jack and expandable storage, that would be a dream come true.
@@Ad-zu8bt I use wired headphones with my iphone 13 pro. Not because I can’t afford the airpods, but because I just don’t see the point of it. I hate having to charge my headphones, I’d rather have them tied to a cable to my phone and never charge them, besides… the sound quality is more consistent
I really want the S22+. I was hoping my next phone will have amazing battery. But the too much complaints about it is making me change my mind at the last moment🤦🏻♂️. Not logical to pay all this money while having mid range phone battery.
@@MaDFroG88 I said in a different comment. Even though am not an Apple fan, But I respect the quality of everything they put in their phone. Less numbers but more efficient. Unlike Samsung too much numbers and features with expensive prices, but on reality it doesn't perform as a flagship wants to be #1.
@@tarekekram8441 I own s22 regular model and it lasts 4h30mins sot 😠 😡, definitely a disappointment!! I charge it twice a day, might consider 14pro in 2 months.
@@tarekekram8441 regular s23 should have 4500mAh not 3700 😠 😡 ! I don't like iphone but s22 is unreliable! 14pro seems to include AoD and punch-hole camera instead of the notch! Also I'm not convinced Samsung will fix the exynos once again for s23 series 🤔
I just got one. Upgraded from a S20. It is heavy. Without a case, it feels like it weighs as much as my S20 with the UAG case. I can't wait to fully explore it
I just went from an a series phone to the s22+ and my only gripe is the position of the scanner. It is a fair bit higher up on the display than my old a42, and I haven't built up the muscle memory yet
i went from iphone 12 pro max to the S22plus on release, just wanted to try it out thinking i will go back to IOS. after 4 months still using it and still finding new features in goodlock, this phone does everything!
@@prabindramakaju8367 android has alot of cool features and a large variety of phones too choose phone where as ios is alot more polished and smooth. their both very good, depends what you want really and how you use it.
I currently have the iPhone 12 pro max and am thinking of switching to S22 plus but I've been using iphone for forever and am terrified that im not gonna like the samsung.
@@horse_lover3896 personally i prefer samsung over ios, though it really comes down to what you need, if you need i message, icloud for photos , facetime, air drop etc then stick with iphones.
Sam, have you ever considered doing a list for custom android 12 roms? I Have a Oneplus8T with OOS11 and I had to go back from 12 since the software was abismal in comparison. I want to gage my options for custom roms but I don't know much about them, how stable they are or how to go about installing one
Nowadays.... Custom rom is much more complicated and have a higher risk to get your device bricked unlike before so join your device group in telegram and carefully read their guide hope that will help ya
Hey Sam,. Can u suggest which is a better option to go . S22+ , pixel 7 or iphone 13 pro on day to day usage . Shud have good photo and video as I do shoot a lot . Additionally, I am an android user since long and just have MacBook which I usage for editing . I am itching to go apple way but think I might loose some of the android features that might be useful. Can u suggest ?
i need to upgrade from the s10+ (pixel density 522) to the s22+ (pixel density 390). will i notice the difference? is the + worth USD150 over the non+? just screen size and battery right? all else the same? with trade-in (of my cracked screen s10+), the total comes to USD730, vs 580 for the s22 non plus
I returned mine because battery was so bad and didn’t get better. And camera app Operation was choppy and slow. Photo quality was really good tho minus the blur on anything moving.
Hey, I was wondering which phone is better between the Galaxy S22+ and the Oppo Find X5 Pro. My priorities are: Screen/Display, Camera, Battery endurance, Software support and connectivity. Less important: Speed/Power (i dont game), charging speed, speakers. *Both phones are identical price at the time of writing. Thank you ❤
I've noticed tiktok heats the phone up a lot and uses a ton of battery life. More than anything else I've used. Recording 4k 60 runs fine for a while it gets warm but not concerning. It cools down fast when the applications are closed. I'm using snapdragon version btw
@@danieltalebi1040 what about other apps? hows the heat and battery with those? also maybe you should set a bivy routine to set screen to 60hz on tiktok that might help.
@@octaane4763 I use app like RU-vid/VLC for more than 2 hour straight doesn't have any heating issues so far, I also playing game like COC for about 30 minutes also doesn't have anything heating problem
Hey bro long time follower, I have ALWAYS been a Pixel Fanboy.... I noticed you have always used them also... How does this compare camera wise ? I found the s21 still wasn't as good as the pixel .... Honest thoughts
When discussing the cameras you mentioned the lack of 10X found on the Ultra, but you failed to mention the lack of macro capability and the lack of auto-focus on the ultrawide. Outside the cameras you also left off the lack of S-Pen support, and the lack of 1440p screen display.
Is it worth switching to S22 from iPhone 13? I’m a long time iPhone user but I gotta admit that Samsung phones are way better in terms of aesthetics, especially the thinner bezels and no notch. Also I really want the 120hz display, but battery life is a necessity for me.
I don't think so, battery life on any iPhone 13 model (to my knowledge) will outperform S22. But you should get around 7 hours screen on time on full charge
I would suggest waiting for the next generation. I've been using an S22 Ultra and for some reason I have troubles staying up all day. It is probably just because I watch tiktok too much sonce it heats up just about any phone and drains my battery quite a bit, but I do manage to charge it once in a day along with the battery just set to 85. If you are planning to upgrade, I think spending a bit more for the s22 plus will make a big change to you since there is only a couple minutes of difference between the batteyr life on the s22 ultra and the s22 plus. Nevertheless my answer is to wait it out for the S23 series.
Ive been using Samsung Notes since 2! idk, why they dropped the Note name? Note is what got Samsung in the cell phone game!!! But either way my S22 Ultra 5G 512gb is a Beast ad its still the Note! The Battery is amazing....I use my phone all day , multi tasking, photos, videos, etc... and still have at least 30%! And I think the cameras are not set up half as nice as Ultra.... imo. I wouldn't care if they take away the curve display? Even though I love it for content! But never take away the squared off Note look....!
@@11jrg11 that what I said, they dropped the name only because all the note features you still can get from ultra model, btw if you really care about audio jack + sd card slot then you only option for now is Sony
@@pudinichigo91 nope love Samsung, and I traded my Fold 3 (that I was playing with) while I had already bought the S20 Ultra it's a perfect phone and still has SD card... so I'll keep it. People don't understand if they don't call, email,complain etc.... once the SD cards are gone? Then we'll all be forced eventually to use clouds etc.... yes they're free till their NOT! I love having my SD I can pop out, put on my puter and erase move on. Samsung is pulling an Apple! Raise to prices take things away.... smh. They'll lose customers just like Apple! Slowly but surely....
