Engadget has posted a re review of the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+
Taken from Engadget … And after Samsung ticked the box with a fresh new design for last year’s S21, now the company has returned with the more polished Galaxy S22 and S22+. While they might look a lot like last year’s phones, there have been some notable upgrades, especially on the S22’s display, performance and camera.
Even though I’m still not sure how much I love Samsung’s Contour Cut camera design, the Galaxy S22 very much looks and feels like a high-end device. The outside of the phone features Samsung’s Armor Aluminum alloy that’s been polished to a near-mirror finish, with the S22 also being one of the first phones equipped with Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus+ to protect the phone from drops and scratches — both in front and in back.
Wrap up
The Galaxy S22 isn’t a huge improvement or departure from last year’s phone, but just like an “S-year” iPhone, Samsung has tweaked and elevated all the phone’s most critical components. You’re getting a more refined design, improved performance, a sharper main cam with better low-light photography and an even brighter screen. And that’s saying something from the king of mobile displays.
Sure, some features like Vision Booster and Adaptive Pixel are more subtle or harder to use than I’d like, but putting all this in a chassis sporting excellent build quality and other premium features like IP68 dust and water resistance, reverse wireless charging and more is a formula that’s hard not to like. And with a starting price of $800 for the standard S22, you’re getting more phone for the money than anything you can buy from Apple or Google.
