Review on Samsung Galaxy S22 8/128 GB Smartphone, black phantom by Micha Jakubek ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

I have to be honest and admit that Samsung has severely let me down. Get cozy, this is going to be a long one. My wife is an iPhone user, but I'm an Android devotee. I've owned a number of phones, all of them Chinese (Xiaomi, OnePlus, Vivo, and my favorite godlike Huawei P30 pro), as well as an iPhone for a brief period of time; I don't have anything against Apple, but their products aren't mine. The wife has been raving about the Samsung s22's sleek look as of late. I've decided to make the jump to Android. Rapid acquisition and shipment. Return the iPhone after sobbing over it for two days, and you'll find that it's already been sold. I had to get a new one, and while it's not particularly terrifying, I can see why Android users could be put off by it. I had been using the same Huawei p30 pro for three years at that point and had no plans to switch. So I ditched Huawei and bought a Samsung, thinking it couldn't possibly be worse since, after all, it's a Samsung. Then I realized how much of a rip-off this phone really is. It dies immediately (although I will concede that it adjusted and started to live longer after two weeks of usage; nonetheless, it is still not enough for active use, and quick charging would be helpful, but it is not present. You have 3700 batteries; why do you need to spend three hours charging them? In light of this, you should always and everywhere carry a charge. I enjoy playing pubg and genshin, and in theory they should both pull their weight. However, when I turned on the genshin, it slowed down and got hot enough to make me cry like a Japanese schoolgirl (even though I was only paying it the federal minimum wage). The camera is unquestionably top-notch, and I have no complaints about the phone's other features, which include its compact size, high-quality build, and pleasant feel in the hand. It's a nice option if all you need is a little, gorgeous phone with a fantastic camera for making calls, but if you want to play games, look elsewhere; for the same price, the Asus Zenfone 9 is a much better alternative. I got rid of the phone and replaced it with a Chinese one, and now I'm content.

Pros
  • Minimalist in size and weight Superb quality of both construction and finish. Superb screen and slick camera
Cons
  • Totally not appropriate for play (trotting, heating, low fps) The small battery and lack of rapid charging are major complaints. Expensive for what you get
