Take a look at our different pricing options for the Samsung Galaxy S22 and choose a plan to suit your needs. HDR, Panorama, Stereo Recording, Bokeh Mode, AI Features, Night Mode, Scene Detection, Slow Motion, Time Lapse None of this is to say the Galaxy S22 feels slow. It has more than enough power for casual mobile tasks (web browsing, app work) and extra juice for videos, games, 4K video shooting, and editing. The 8K video shoot was a stuttering disaster, but otherwise, we were pleased. Take professional-looking photos with the S22's Triple Lens rear camera. This includes 50MP Wide, 12MP Ultra Wide and 10MP Telephoto cameras that offer crystal-clear pictures. There’s also a 10MP front phone camera to give you flawless selfies.

Small phones such as this (it measures 146 x 70.6 x 7.6mm) have both their supporters and detractors. Some prefer the ease with which they can be used, particularly one-handed, while others miss the big-screen experience offered by the more sizeable handsets. I took a little time to adjust to the S22’s smaller dimensions, having come from using big-screen smartphones; but it soon felt natural and manageable, and I only really missed the larger display when playing mobile games. Change your airtime tariff after 30 days and then once every billing month during your minimum contract period, choosing from a selected family of tariffs. Some tariff extras are only available on the starting tariff, are not transferable, and may be lost if you change to an ineligible tariff. Devices are subject to availability.

Live sharing host is available only to S22 Series and Tab S8 Series users at product launch and will be provided to other Galaxy device users with Android S OS later on. Participants may need to upgrade to the latest Duo app to use live sharing. Both have been superseded by the newer Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23 Ultra but the S22 series remains a tempting buy, especially with heavy discounts now that they’re technically ‘old’. The USB Implementers Forum, Inc. (USB-IF) was established in 1995 to support and accelerate the market and consumer adoption of USB compliant devices. GalaxyS22 and S22+'s Super Fast Charging has been certified to be compliant to the USB standards which means your products have met the highest standards in the industry. This certification can be found on www.usb.org.Network or Wi-Fi connection required. Each device should be registered with a single Samsung Account. The camera app includes a rather deep set of shooting modes and controls, many of them hidden under ‘More’ (typical of an Android phone). There's Pro mode, for instance, which gives you control over shutter speed, ISO (film speed in old-school camera-speak), focus point, and white balance.

Some mobile apps may restrict content to be shared on other screens or may require a touch screen to be able to interact with them. S Pen Pro and S Pen Fold Edition sold separately. Only use the Samsung S Pen Pro or the S Pen Fold Edition designed exclusively for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G. All other S Pens or stylus pens not designed for Galaxy Z Fold3 5G (including those by other manufacturers) may damage the screen. The format and amount of Single Take results may differ based on original capture. Results may also differ between Rear and Front Camera captures. The chipset onboard the Samsung Galaxy S22 is an Exynos 2200, which is Samsung’s effort at a flagship-level chipset; in markets outside of Europe, the S22 totes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor instead. For reference, this is the last time Samsung has done this chipset split with the newer S23 sporting the custom Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy chipset worldwide.In the end, for my level of typical use I found it necessary to keep the phone on Power Saving mode at all times. This caps the phone’s performance and the brightness of the screen to extend battery life; but this really isn’t something you’d expect to have to do with your brand-new flagship phone, which you may well have bought in part because of these very specs. The resolution is 1080p, which isn’t the highest but still seems adequate for sharpness; images and text are clear, but they’re not dazzling in their detail. When we benchmarked the Galaxy S22 against the S22 Ultra, we found the Geekbench scores to be essentially equal. Both phones’ scores are still generally lower than Apple's A16 Bionic’s, though.

For example, there’s the edge menu that brings up a selection of recently used apps for ease of access. In addition, when taking photos of documents, you’ll receive a prompt to “scan” it, so you can cut neatly around the document if you wish to share it. Such additions aren’t game changers, but they do add some extra usefulness. Battery Availability may vary by app. Available only on smart TVs that support Miracast. Requires set up on your Samsung Galaxy device. Go to Smart View > Settings > Labs > Allow all apps to be cast. To accommodate the 10MP front-facing camera, Samsung has cut a small circle in the display. It's not distracting, and didn’t break our immersion through long games of PUBG Mobile. Enjoy a Triple-Lens camera with a 50MP Wide lens, 12MP Ultra-Wide lens and a 10MP telephoto lens. And if that’s not enough, the front camera snaps incredible selfies every time with a 10MP Wide lens.The AMOLED panel may measure only 6.1 inches, but it boasts a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, for smooth scrolling with supported content. There’s HDR10+, too, so that compatible TV shows display some extra-punchy colours. As mentioned previously, the diminutive size of the screen does take away from its impact while gaming, but it still holds up as a decent display.
