Samsung Galaxy S22 5G Cell Phone, 128GB, 8GB RAM, 3700 mAh, Wireless Charging, Pink Gold - Unlocked

Man, I really do want to love this phone. It has an extremely good camera (imo, better than any other except the s22U and now iphone 14 pro max), great performance, screen, and looks great. I loved my S6 from a few years ago so I thought I'd love this as much. But... Battery life is biggest complaint. It's bad right out of the box. I'm scared for how bad it will be after a year or two of usage. I can only make it through the day with low use. My work around is to keep it in power saving mode at all times. That helps a ton and battery is fine, but there are moments I can tell it isn't performing as high because it's in that mode. Second, audio volume doesn't go as high as my old S6 or my wife's iphone XR. And you better believe I've looked and enabled every setting I can find to increase it (including developer options stuff). It's just not as loud. For most people who don't like blasting music, you probably won't care, but this is honestly a huge con for me, especially in my car. I read a thread that they cheeped out on the audio amp or something? That sounds so stupid for a flagship phone if it's true. Of course, no headphone jack sucks and I am here to complain. Everyone said it's no big deal, you'll just get used to bluetooth/dongle, etc. But nah, it sucks. Especially because battery life is low. I've had a few times I had to choose between charging OR listening to music. And no I don't want to have to ALSO carry around a double dongle. And yes, I DO have wireless headphones, but I don't like using them all that much, plus I have to worry about keeping them charged too. I just bought this 4 months ago, but I'm already back on the market looking for something better. Maybe the new Sony 5 IV or Asus phone? Tbh I'm even considering iphone 14 max bc of how incredibly well rounded it is, but I really don't want to switch to IOS (plus, still no headphone jack lol). Hate to give the s22 a 3/5 stars, but that's its reality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The features on the phone are good and the camera improves when you compare it to the previous modes, it is lighter and more compact which makes it easier to fit in pocket or other places. The one thing that is a major con about this phone is how much the battery drains. I Can literally have my phone on battery saving mode to not have any apps working in the background and amongst other ways to decrease battery use and regardless of the changed the battery will last a few hours without it being in use. If the phone is used at any point, then the battery lasts no more than an hour.

After using this phone for several weeks, I'm disappointed in the performance of this phone. It gets really hot being on 5g and even when I turn it off after using it for a while it'll warm up and won't cool off until I stop using it (usually just watching videos). I was unsure of buying it due to the snapdragon 8 gen 1 chip having issues with how hot it gets. And I should've listened to the reviews, it seems like the chip is a hot mess and the cooling system in the phone isn't enough. I'm still willing to give this phone a chance as apps began to be optimized but this is quite disappointing. And the battery, it lasts about 5 hours with moderate use and that's almost as bad as my samsung s8. So I think it's better to wait for a better chip and/or cooling system. Other than that the phone isn't too bad, but the heating problem is what bothers me the most.

Yes, the battery. Fully charged last night 10pm, on airplane mode all night. It's 1pm now and down to 20 percent. I've had galaxy's since SIII. And loved them all. None with a battery like this. And the color, ugh. Waited a long time for sky blue but it's a disappointment. Today is the first sunny day in the last week, so today you could say it looks blue. But at night or cloudy day it looks gray! When I ask people what color it looks like most say gray, or bluish gray. Don't like it. And it's so thick and clunky. I've always loved the sleek look of the Galaxy. This one is too thick! I thought it would feel more like the S10e or the S10, both of which I had and loved. It feels much more bulky than those. I traded in a S20fe and even tho that's a bigger phone it felt sleeker in my hand. Not happy at all....

I bought this almost 6-7 months now and honestly I've had so many issues with it. Like no one hearing me when I answer the phone. And it's charging capabilities are crappy unless it's plugged into a wall outlet and it over heats when I have more then one big app open. it constantly crashes out of the apps I'm using and runs slow as a turtle 🐢 lol don't recommend I would say that the plus or ultra edition. I preferred my s9 over this one.

This was supposed to be an upgrade from my S9. It's hard to believe the pixel density and screen quality was better in my 3 year old phone, but I noticed immediately that the S22 was a downgrade. It could be better if the display controls were able to be customized further by the user. Battery life is also a downgrade, but I knew that when purchasing. No charging block/cord was provided. I am a dedicated Samsung consumer looking for consistent quality and innovative enhancements when I upgrade. Maybe current tech has simply reached its physical limits.

item wasn't as described it was refurbished

I went from being underwhelmed with this phone to down right hating it. It's got the worst battery life I've ever had with a new phone. The 5G is spotty at best, it's slow, the 'touch' screen seems finicky. Some of the 'features' Samsung has changed on their phones seems like a big step back.

Battery life is terrible. I returned after 1 day. I used my phone 5 mins and it dropped 15%. By 1:30 p.m. my phone was at 10%. I get better battery life with my 2 year old phone so I switched back. I also hate how you can't use a SD card, I take a lot of photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Other than the cameras this phone is a total downgrade from my S9+. If my phone company did not tell me it would stop working by December I never would have bought it for such a ridiculous price...no headphones or charging block either.
