Galaxy S22

Well, my Galaxy S22 (from well: 2022), which still works great will no longer receive any updates after February 27, so I'll have to get new one, or potentially suffer open security holes in the future. [...] Will probably get another Samsung, as they have extended updates to 7 years for newer S models.

I recently switched from an iPhone to s22 and I absolutely love it! [...] But I'm still getting used to the battery life, I use my phone for work all day long and I have to charge it every other hour Update: it's been three months and I don't think I'm coming back to an iPhone anytime soon.

I went from a galaxy s5 to s22. About 10 years in diff. [...] Speed the s22 is much snappier I guess. [...] I only replaced it because the touch screen started acting up and security updates were non-existent. I was able to keep the thing going for so long precisely because I could swap out that battery easily. [...]

I just spent vacation deciding not to bring a laptop, but to use my android phone (a galaxy s22) with a hdmi adapter and Bluetooth travel keyboard. [...] Developing elixir was no problem, the test suite took 5s on my phone, and takes 1s on my laptop. Rust and cargo compiling was slow enough that I didn't really enjoy it though. Meant that I could just pack up instantly and have an agent do review workflows while I was out and about as well in my pocket, and didn't really notice a big battery hit.

[...] For example this Samsung S22 I am on is "unlocked". [...] Because there's, for example, lots of guides telling you how to unlock my S22 phone. But as of 2023 Samsung now blocks all those previous exploits that the unlocked software used to use. [...]

I've switched to a CAT S22 Android builder's flip phone, and my usage has dropped significantly. The screen is so small and fiddly that it makes me feel sick using it for extended periods - exactly what you want from an adictive substance like a smart phone. Having to physically open it to use it, and then waiting 5 seconds before it lights up, creates a psychic barrier to just 'quickly checking for updates'. The camera is like an early 2000s cheap digicam - just about good enough for documenting things but it hardly beckons you to want to photograph your life constantly for social media. [...]

It was true for my Galaxy S22, and is currently true with reboots after update. And yes, early on I had a situation where the phone rebooted overnight and remained stuck on the lock screen while disconnected from networks, until I woke up and noticed. Fortunately I didn't miss anything important, but after that I immediately reviewed all settings and disabled anything that could reboot the device automatically (including updates, which are set for manual installation now).

As an owner of a Samsung Galaxy S22, which is not small but seemed to me like the only sane size - feature - price balance on the Android market back then: maybe the reason is battery life? I'm really underwhelmed by the one of the S22. [...] And increasing device size allows for a proportionally larger battery size.

My battery life has been utterly wrecked. [...] It feels like when Apple secretly artificially slowed down old phones to incentivize upgrades, except Samsung is speeding them up to make it seem like the batteries are all going. I'd been very happy with my S22 but now I am suffering chronic battery anxiety. I slow charge most of the time & use battery care to 80% and almost never used to go below 20%. [...]

Same here, switched to a physical alarm clock after inconsistent alarm behavior post OS updates on my Samsung S22. I disabled Smart Update after reading your post but considering my phone used to prompt me to update, then started doing them on its own - I wouldn't trust that setting to stick.

[...] Just upgraded from S10 to S22 only because of delayed patches on S10 and nearing EOS. On the vibration issue, I guess Samsung took a note of feedback and provided a vibration sound setting to alleviate the issue out of pocket at-least. [...] I myself was OnePlus fan before moving to S10 which was a pleasant surprise and S22 has bettered it in terms of some cool nifty features in software like "video call effects". [...] Limiting battery charge to 85% is another cool feature to prolong battery life which makes sense as Samsung promised 4 years of software support. [...]

I have an s22 and you are spot on with everything. Yeah the battery doesn't last nearly as long as it should, however, being able to charge it with fast charging, makes up for that. If I can plug it in for an hour, or even just anywhere for some small time, it charges fast enough. I just carry around a charger which isn't that big a deal.

Seriously, I switched from the note 20 ultra to the z flip 3 to the s22 and I'm glad I did. [...] The s22 is a breath of fresh air and sigh of relief in phone form. [...] Its sooooo wonderful to not have to deal with a curved screen. I'm grateful for a flat screen because I haven't had one since I grabbed the note 9 years ago. The s22 is everything a person needs and a tiny bit more in a cute and compact form. [...]

[...] Battery, very decent. [...] Camera, takes some great pictures. [...] Device is sleek, comfortable, fast, reliable, and overall I'm pleased

[...] I was one to complain about the duplicate apps like two photo galleries, two app stores and so on but actually I see it as a choice now which really doesn't get in the way of Android. [...]

I bought the S22 last week. [...] The size is good, the battery lasts well (more than 24 hours for normal use), the supercharger works fast (this is my preferred way of charging it as the wireless takes considerably longer), it doesn't heat up (only on day 1 while I was setting it up). [...]

[...] Pretty solid phone overall, way nicer than my old OnePlus 6T that was just so buggy and had abysmal battery. [...]

[...] The moon shots the astro photography just the control you have over the phones and the cameras with an everlasting battery life makes these Galaxy phones a great pick. I love how the S22 looks but I wait for another year to see some massive improvements over the already amazing S21 ultra. [...]

Yeah I wanted to like the nokia, but it was such a cheap plastic-y build. [...] Funny enough the software on the nokia and the M8 was very similar. I also had the CAT S22 flip, but I couldn't warm to it. It's really heavy and bulky, runs android so can be a bit sluggish, not amazing battery. [...] I had no issues with the M8 Flip, I got the normal version, not the security plus. Even though the camera is not great, sometimes it can be useful to be able to send an image over MMS. [...] Good loud speaker etc. [...] Not that the screen was amazing for watching things, but for following an exercise video would work in a pinch. [...] ffmpeg -i "$INPUT" -c:v libx264 -profile:v baseline -vf setdar=dar=0,setsar=sar=0 -c:a copy "$OUTPUT" Another thing I found cool is the ability to selectively lock the screen. [...]

I encountered this kind of inconsistency with my Android phone, too (Samsung Galaxy S22). I think every time my alarm failed to go off it was because the phone had automatically updated its OS and restarted overnight, and background apps like the alarm wouldn't run until I entered my pin to finalize the phone's startup process. I've usually used my $3-4 alarm clock for waking me up in the morning, and then my phone timer for naps. Now that I just took a closer look, I was able to find a way to disable automatic updates on the phone. (I had to find and tap "Software update System Update Preferences Smart Update" in the Settings app.) But I like the alarm clock, so I'll probably keep using it anyway. Better that my phone isn't the first thing I interact with every day.

I have an s22 and the battery definitely leaves you wanting more. [...] I need to charge it on heavy use days and before going out to the bars. Otherwise it is the perfect size for smaller hands and great build quality. The camera quality impressed iphone users lol. I have the bumper case on my phone that gives the phone basic protection without covering up the beautiful design.

If pictures are important to the buyer, they should get a high end Samsung, iPhone or specialty Huawei/Vivo models. Every other phone will have a generic camera lens and imaging algorithm. [...] A 4 year old Galaxy S22 will take better pictures than a 2025 Motorola or any other Tier 2 Android brand.

Used mine with a Galaxy S22 for about 6 months, zero connectivity issues. Also given others also are saying they've had no issues I'd say it's pretty fair to assume this was an isolated problem unrelated to the topic at hand.

[...] I even pre-ordered this phone, which I used for almost two years. It was the best Android phone of all time. ❤ Currently, I'm using my S24 Ultra.

I watched this 2 years ago before buying the device.. for some reason today I came back to watch again, while smiling at my s22 lol..still is an amazing device

I went from an S7 to this, huge upgrade! My S7 finally broke after 6 years. The S22 is roughly the same size as my S7, I don't want to go any bigger than this!

[...] Just need to work out the kinks on battery life ..... I purchased a Samsung s22 And so far I like it 👌 A-

I switched from the iPhone XS to the S22 three months ago. Best decision ever.

My phone is almost 3 years old and is a Galaxy S22. My phone company is offering me an S26 for an extra $25 a month on my bill for 36 months, and I'm trying to decide if this is something worth pursuing. I'd rather switch when I'm glitchy but it's working,

There's flash degradation that's unfortunately a factor, too. If not for that and thermal problems (which I learned were common in this model), I'd probably be still using my S22. (OTOH, I upgraded to a foldable, and don't want to ever use a regular candybar phone ever again.)

[...] I can't think of a single reason I would ever switch from an S22-25+U to an iPhone. [...]

That's beside the point but I don't game on my phone (s22 with 128gb) and constantly have to shuffle storage just for photos, videos and music streaming cache. Storage is so cheap it makes no sense to pay 1,000$ for a device and then be a slave to manually managing it. It's insulting.

I have on my desk, the Galaxy S8, iPhone SE (First generation), the iPhone 13 Mini, the iPhone 14 Pro and the Galaxy S22. I intentionally now choose and look for phones that are the smallest possible now (S25, iPhone 15pro or 16pro) etc My favorite to take with me is the 13 Mini. Would love an iPhone 18 mini.

[...] I've been using a Cat S22 flip phone without any real issue. [...] Don't get me wrong, the S22 is limited for sure and that's part of what I use it for (I need a rugged device to carry around our land, I don't need a glass slab). Android is noticeably slower than a more recent Pixel device but its totally usable.

[...] Language packs (Sorry for spelling, I don't know how to correctly spell them out in english): Eng/hindi/rus/polish/taju/vietnam/german/arab/french/indonesian/holand/italian/japanese/korea/portugal/spain/turkish/swedish/chinese Tried it on S22.

Bluetooth 5.2 was supposed to fix this issue. Indeed, my S22 phone with Jabra Elite 8s sounds great in calls. [...] They have Bluetooth 5.3¹. [...] I have been meaning to try pairing my earbuds with a floor model at a store and testing audio quality but's only to satisfy a curiosity for me. [...]

Hmm, yes, I did not try these but I have noticed that my default phone app in my S22 is freakishly fast at detecting QR codes, something I never remember that zxing was. [...] Sometimes it feels like only 1 frame in the camera is enough, and distance, angle, lighting and focus is not important.

Before I wrote a single line of code, I championed my abilities to add/subtract individuals from photos for family and friends, first using ClarisWorks Paint! My Samsung S22 can now do this within seconds and better. [...]

I've never ever had Meet bundled with any of my phones in my years of using android. On my latest S22, obviously the play store is there but the only other core Google apps that were installed were calendar, chrome, fit, Gmail, Google (the main "app" that probably bundles in the assistant and stuff like that), play music, maps and a couple of others. There was no meet and I can still uninstall calendar

[...] All models of the s22 are great phones. [...]

Thank got at least the new Ultras have only snapdragon I had a exynoss s22 and my experience was miserable, in and out the repair center.

That's me bottom left with the Galaxy S22 Softcase. I also have a Hardcase which has saved my phone many times. [...]

I need one to photograph artwork (and my cats) i have a Samsung Galaxy S22 that I bought for the camera specifically and it turns out that camera has always been garbage.

Im from iraq i got the s22 3 days ago us version U1 sd 8 gen 1 it sooo smoth amazing design the battery not that bad love it so far

I got around to checking the shots I grabbed with my phone while my DSLR was chugging away. Samsung Galaxy S22, handheld "snapshot" 🔭

I just bought a s22 a week ago. Yesterday and today being on the phone, outside in winter, started a cracking sound. I am so sad that i have to return it and don't buy a s22 again, i am scared that another one will do the same. [...]

[...] I bought recently the S22 ultra because of you, and I most say I love this amazing phablet.👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

is it normal for s22 getting heat up from using the camera less then 10 minutes?? and also tiktok because I play tiktok around 30 minutes it's getting really hot . I just bought this phone early this month

I got my S22 last month. My prior phone was an S10 E . Both are great phones but I like the S22 the best.
