The volume up and down change dynamically if set right. Go to settings, sounds and vibrations, volume and deselect use volume for media keys. The volume slider will now be for system volume unless you are in media, in which case it will then control the media.
I have the baseline s22 with snapdragon and absolutely love it. My only real complaint is that the battery just doesn't seem optimized. I know it's smaller, but it just seems to drain too quickly doing what should be minor things. They either should've capped the s22 basic at 60hz or put a slightly bigger battery. Because when I turn it to 60, it last an extra 2 to 3 hours.
@@jejunamja Yes, 120Hz does put a huge drain on the battery especially if your screen on time is always high. 5G is also plays a part in battery life. 5G will DESTROY your battery if being used 24/7.
I really suggest that you do upgrade. I went from my s9+ to the s22 ultra (snap dragon) and it's been a blast using this phone. Definitely a noticeable change in battery life and display quality.
Looking forward to buy S22+ this year. The size is just perfect and with its Dynamic Amoled screen and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (in India), this seems a sweet deal !!
Great review! I Love this phone, had it since preorder, here are my tips 1. Vibration motor is weak Heres a tip (go into vibration intensity - Enable vibration sound to give the vibration a type of sound like it vibrating. (ONLY IN NEW UPDATE) 2. Overheating - Download Samsung Game drivers S20/N20 Adreno for snapdragon or Mali for Exynos (2200 worked with this driver even though its amd) Install Game plugins from galaxy store enable Game booster plus (better fps, thermals, watch Dame tech for proof) Add netflix and improved heating and performance. Camera comes in GOS update which released everywhere but US and Canada. Edit: US update has arrived check your software update 3. Battery Adaptive screen refresh rate, Adaptive Battery, Automation on, If not near 5G towers switch to LTE, lastly nearby scan off. If you use widgets or smart widgets bring a charge you're a heavy user theres no way around that until samsung optimizes it. (Better to have features and not a big battery than a big battery without smart widgets) People prefer smart widgets over iPhone widgets for a reason. (If you want best battery you can get consider turning off Personlized ads from google, location, and usage diagnostics). 4. No LED light either use Edge lighting, enable screen off, put custom colors, set duration OR install Aodnotify keep always on display and you will have a light circle around camera giving the illusion of an LED light. (Might have to change power saving mode to allow Always on Display). 5. Screen protector/Tempered glass fingerprint not working If you use gestures click options, increase pressure sensitivity, enable touch sensitivity. Remove fingerprints and use two slots for one thumb different angles and different pressures. (I use S22 I use Ez Dome glass by whitestone and it works well). 6. OneUi 4.0-4.1 have custom alarm snooze times now. In S8-10 and early days of S20. Alarms were only allowed 5 minutes and repeat 3 times (wasted battery) Now you can set alarm to snooze and turn off quicker, (custom 1 minute repeat 3 minutes) 3 minute drainage vs 15 minute drainage if you miss turning off alarm because you're out of the room.
For the ones who didn’t know, as an alternative to “Extra Dim” feature on Samsung, deep down in iOS’s accessibility settings, we have a “Reduce White Point” option. If you pair that option with accessibility shortcuts, you can somehow have the same thing
I've been going through S22+ review vids and has definitely helped me decide on getting it. s22+ my planned tech purchase for 2022, upgrading from my pixel 2XL
Honestly, u wont regret it, i went from oneplus 6 to the regular s22 and the only issue i had was the battery which then adjusted to be just fine after a couple days - plus its just beautiful to look at lol
I am using that s22+ right now on Samsung Dex watching this and after many updates it has been flawless no stuttering or strugling what so ever and im running the UK version
This has to be one of my favourite comparison videos I've watched on this phone so far) I've had an iPhone 11 since August 2020 and I've actually really enjoyed it and the sense of security that comes with not being able to download anything I want from the internet, but now that's become an issue because with all the mess going on in the world, Apple has been deleting important apps for Russian users like bank and social media apps and I can't access them the same way I could if I had an android so I've decided to jump the ship before they block the phones from working in the entire region lol. I was on the fence if I had chosen the right phone, but this comparison actually pretty much convinced me that I chose the right phone)
Great comparison. These are the two phones I'm deciding between for this year. I'm looking forward to purchasing the S22+ this year. I'm a long time Samsung user upgrading from the S9+ that I've had since 2018. Losing security updates on the S9+ is my main motivator to switch up. Thanks for the practical review!
I'm probably gonna buy a 14 Pro Max when it comes out. I'm gonna compromise on the OS and also form factor, 2 things I gotta get used to if I want the best battery life which I've been seriously struggling with on my current device. PS: My S22's screen goes between 24 and 120Hz. It was 48Hz initially but then apparently they lowered it to 24 after the first or second update.
Been using my huawei mate 20 pro for roughly 4 years now and I reckon its finally due for an upgrade. From all the positives displayed in your video the s22 looks very appealing, along with being considerably cheaper on the used market I'm definitely going to consider it.
You can use Pro-mode with all settings in auto mode then up only the speed of the shutter speed. You can also go to Developer options and reduce al the animations to .5x you will feel the phone much faster. The radical options would be to buy a Snap Dragon version. I have the Snap Dragon and runs insane.
I had the base S22 and had to return it immediately! The worst battery life I've ever experienced. 3700 is not enough. How is the battery between exchanging for the Plus or the Ultra and I am glad I went with the Plus.
I was really between the S22plus and iphone 13 more leaning towards the S22+ but the lagy experience, battery life and cameras shutter speed makes the iphone 13 a winner. A shame I can't have the SD version of the S22+. I would choose it. Very helpful video. Thank you.
Planning to buy the S22+ because of the flat screen, longer software update support, and better build quality. I just bought my Samsung A72 almost a year ago and when the S22+ came out, makes me want to switch and upgrade again haha
I'm still in love with the Z Flip 3 even though there are other phones with better specs out there... and I am also pretty excited about the upcoming Z Flip 4!
I’ve only had my flip3 for 6 months, my screen cracked near the crease. So sad. But also I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I just traded the flip for the s22 plus.
@@sarahannslz Yeah it's really sad to hear that. This is one of the reasons I'm a little scared of Samsung's flip phones that's why hope that they'll be better this year and that you're happy with your S22 plus.
came looking for a comparison between S22 plus and iPhone 13 and got everything cleared about which one to buy. Going with 13 mainly because of the Exynos chip in S22+ being a deal breaker for me.
my next purchase is going to be either the upcoming Pixel 6a or Pixel 7. I recently switched from my iPhone 8 to a used Pixel 3, and am so glad I did (was looking for a better camera). Of all the androids I've tried, my preference is the Pixel version.
To adjust all the other sounds besides the volume just tap on the three dots at the top of the volume display, just push volume up or down then tap the dots at the top of the volume status bar and you'll see all the other volume adjustments.
Honestly, i'm planning to buy the Z - flip 3. I've owned the original z - flip for a while now and I actually quite enjoy using the phone, but the battery life is becoming sluggish, and i think it's time for a change.
Almost 2023 here and I have no issues with the software on the exynos, idk if they fixed it or not, but I moved from a s9 and this phone feels lush compared
@Pete Matheson: one thing to point out related to the volume settings on Android, when you press the volume down/up buttons, you are able to jump into your settings directly from the volume pop-up on the screen. It's really easy to adjust various volume settings from there.
Glad my Exynos S22U is not the only one that has performance issues. Very disappointed but updates have at least made it usable now. I feel that it was a last minute decision by Samsung to resurrect the Exynos version, probably due to the terrible yield Samsung Fabs had on the SD8G1. So we in Europe got dumped with a half-baked chip. What is clear is that Exynos 2200 is not great and that the software is behind and poorly optimised. It may take a while for things to sort out. I agree that the S22+ design is better than the S22U and if the Plus had a 12GB option that would be my choice. That is another issue, RAM management, maybe 8GB is not enough or optimisation is sub-par? Thanks for your thoughts.
I'm looking forward to buy Android phone at around Rs.65000 ($866) in India. I am evaluating the option of s22 standard one. I like the compact size above other variant.
I'm looking to buy the ip 13 mini since I wanna switch to iOS. I've been using Android all my life and I'm kinda fed up with all the minor lags and bugs tbh. Great video, cheers 😃
I got the S22 and S22+. It s fact that the camera shutter press misses shots compared to my iPhone 13 pro max. Even my SE 2022 is faster in some situations. I am looking forwards for the S23+ next year with the Snapdragon.
This year I might not be buying anything but I really want to get new androids and switch to it but probably not, my iPhone and iPad are 3 years old lol
This year I was thinking about getting a S22+. I've been researching for the past month all the Android flagships, but the S22+ seems to be the one for me. Indeed, the battery could be an issue, but I heard that after 2-3 weeks the phone is optimizing the battery usage and you get 5-6h of screen time. Also, switching to iPhone would be interesting :D
Just pulled the trigger on a S22+ coming from an iPhone X for the past 5 years. I just can't justify spending 1k plus for the new and same iPhone interface again. Android is not perfect, but I need a change.
My 12 pro iPhone battery lasts about 3 hours. Apple doesn’t care about maintaining phones they do everything they can to force you to buy their newest, $1k+ phone. I’m switching to Samsung when the s23 comes out
Going to get the S22 plus for 2022! I was a massive fan of HTC and have been struggling to find the perfect android, the OnePlus 6T was great but I've been a bit disappointed with OnePlus 9 so going Samsung this year!
This year, I'm really looking forward to buying an iphone 13 pro. I've been using Android for 5 years, and am a bit disappointed with the lag as well as battery drain! However, I do love samsungs One UI and the customisation available on Android. That said, I really would like to try an iPhone to see if these issues are resolved, which I've heard from others.
I'm so torn... there is no sensible option for android nowadays... I'm considering sony Xperia 5 iv when it comes out but the 21:9 aspect ratio is horrible but at least jack and sd card
Great post! I prefer Samsung Galaxy S22 Series to iPhone. I posted my comment as you asked but I don't wanna win an apple product. Leave me out of your contest. I'm Android true. Love your honest opinion though.
Exacly the reason I chose OnePlus. The overlay llyout (out of the box) isn't very attracting at first, but the lightweight software overall is so much better then one UI. Even so you get the snapdragon as standard, always l, everywhere.
All galaxies have that disgusting camera shutter delay. That is the biggest reason I will switch from my galaxy S10 to an iPhone later this year. I don't take too many photos but when I need, the camera lag makes me miss a lot of moments because the photo takes time to be taken and gets blurry in many cases.
Reason why i found your video useful and entertaining is that i'm actually saving up to buy an s22+ I also love watching videos where people switch phones and ecosystems from what they're used to so thanks!
I've been using iPhone for years, and I'm still on the base model iPhone 8, but I think I am finally going to upgrade to the S22 Plus. It is just so clean looking and I'm ready for something new
Bought an S22 ultra but I’m really looking forward to upgrading my galaxy watch. Upgraded from the galaxy watch to the watch 4 and saw a huge reduction in battery life, hoping this can be fixed with the GW5.
Another deal breaker for me is there is NO Natural Language input for Android Calender apps. IPhone calendar apps have Natural Language input. This is one of the reasons WHY I stick with IPhone over Android.
Sorry, I'm not a tech expert and i'd like to ask if you think that after new software updates the exynos processor will get better. I got an update on October 1st and it alredy got much better
Got the S22+ snapdragon and I love everything except the battery. It definitely needs to be improved imho, also google play services is taking up a lot of battery
I'm really looking forward to buying the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I'm currently using the Note 10 plus and I know the S23 Ultra is being released this year with many promising features but I think the S22 Ultra's price drops will make it a better upgrade for me.
The performance hiccups have been mostly sorted or improved with android 13. I upgraded to the s22 Ultra from a Note 10+ which was running android 12 at that moment (both exynos), and the s22 was also on android 12 out of the box and initial impressions with a 3 generation newer phone were bad, felt like I got scammed :))) Most of the stutters from the Note 10 (3 years + older!!) were also on the S22 (really shows how much software matters, rather than chipset). Luckily android 13 for the s22 was already available, upgraded, and only then I felt I really had a new phone.
Want to upgrade from my note 9. Phone has been great but battery life is aweful now and I have to bring my charger to work now. Not sure if I'm going with Samsung since it seems like a lot of reviews mention terrible battery life. Considering trying the 13 promax but idk, so use to android. Decisions
After being a long iPhone user. (Using an XR at the moment) I’m tempted to jump back to android and keeping my eyes on the pixel 7 when that launches later this year. The iPhone 13 pro is very tempting though.
I am getting the S22. I've been using Samsung A7 since 2018 and wanted to update. While the battery still gets me through the day with lighter use, the phone itself got laggy.
Honestly I am not sure if I will even get a phone. The phones don't come with a charger, they do have batteries. that run down. The iphone pro 13 is $168.00 dollars more then the Samsung S22 plus here in Canada. iphone still has that cut out at the top of the screen and their screen is smaller. Samsung doesn't have a SD card option anymore, which is another negative in my opinion.
This year I am looking forward to buying a new phone. I have had an old google pixel 3 for years now and now, the phone is lagging and restarts on its own. As a working student, having a phone is really essential.
I’m a pretty basic user and just purchased the s22 plus. I switched from the 13 pro max. The battery is obviously not near as great as the iPhone, however I still love the s 22 plus. I would have gotten the ultra, but i hated that they made it a note so I went with the plus.
This year I'm planning to buy a new iphone for my younger sister (iphone 11 if I could afford it by the end of this year), she is using an iphone 7 plus given down to her from my older sister 2 years ago, but it is a pain to see her constantly having to hook it on a charger, unable to play modern mobile games and take night mode pictures etc.
I am a lifelong Samsung S-series user who bought the iPhone 13 Pro, took 3 whole days to setup the phone, and then had it stolen within the week 😭I am now looking to buy either the iPhone13 again or the S22. My biggest grouse as a flagship Samsung user is the notch (can't stand it!) and the 60Hz display (when I switched to the iPhone, I was unsure whether there were spots where the screen wasn't working and it was defective, then realised it's just a responsiveness issue). But IPhone's battery is just sooo much better, and its screen doesn't shatter easily (big klutz). So conflicted right now!
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has been underwhelming to say the least. I am looking forward to see how 8Gen1+, 8Gen 2 or Dimensity ones come up or else I will have to go for Iphone 14 pro.
So ive had iphone since the 4S, also ive had apple watches since the S4. Ive got a XR currently, was seriously thinking of getting an S22. Or do i get a discounted 13 pro in a few month, or even see what the phone 14 is like? 🤔
As a student preparing to go to the university, I don't really have the finances to purchase a new phone, but I've been considering the iPhone 13 series or the s22 series. Would be really cool if I can get the iPhone or Samsung because they both are my top preferred phones.
I am surely planning to buy a high end camera centric phone well given the amount of media that is consumed by others it totally makes easier to make content when I will have a high end flagship. Well to be honest I am leaning towards s22 ultra a little bit ,but I'll love to win the iphone too. Hope the best. Also congratulations in Advance for 50,000 subs
Great video - I am a big fan of both and considering going from my Samsung S22 Ultra to the Iphone. Looking forward to buying an Ebike this year - tech meets sport = perfect
I've been using an S9 for the past for years and I'm planning to buy my first iPhone, the iPhone 13 mini. The battery only holds charge for about 3.5 to 4 hours.
The volume up and down change dynamically if set right. Go to settings, sounds and vibrations, volume and deselect use volume for media keys. The volume slider will now be for system volume unless you are in media, in which case it will then control the media.

Great review! I Love this phone, had it since preorder, here are my tips
1. Vibration motor is weak
Heres a tip (go into vibration intensity - Enable vibration sound to give the vibration a type of sound like it vibrating. (ONLY IN NEW UPDATE)
2. Overheating - Download Samsung Game drivers S20/N20 Adreno for snapdragon or Mali for Exynos (2200 worked with this driver even though its amd) Install Game plugins from galaxy store enable Game booster plus (better fps, thermals, watch Dame tech for proof) Add netflix and improved heating and performance. Camera comes in GOS update which released everywhere but US and Canada.
Edit: US update has arrived check your software update
3. Battery Adaptive screen refresh rate, Adaptive Battery, Automation on, If not near 5G towers switch to LTE, lastly nearby scan off. If you use widgets or smart widgets bring a charge you're a heavy user theres no way around that until samsung optimizes it. (Better to have features and not a big battery than a big battery without smart widgets) People prefer smart widgets over iPhone widgets for a reason. (If you want best battery you can get consider turning off Personlized ads from google, location, and usage diagnostics).
4. No LED light
either use Edge lighting, enable screen off, put custom colors, set duration OR install Aodnotify keep always on display and you will have a light circle around camera giving the illusion of an LED light. (Might have to change power saving mode to allow Always on Display).
5. Screen protector/Tempered glass fingerprint not working
If you use gestures click options, increase pressure sensitivity, enable touch sensitivity. Remove fingerprints and use two slots for one thumb different angles and different pressures. (I use S22 I use Ez Dome glass by whitestone and it works well).
6. OneUi 4.0-4.1 have custom alarm snooze times now. In S8-10 and early days of S20.

Nice will do

This year I might not be buying anything but I really want to get new androids and switch to it but probably not, my iPhone and iPad are 3 years old lol
This year I was thinking about getting a S22+. I've been researching for the past month all the Android flagships, but the S22+ seems to be the one for me.
Indeed, the battery could be an issue, but I heard that after 2-3 weeks the phone is optimizing the battery usage and you get 5-6h of screen time.
Also, switching to iPhone would be interesting :D
Also planning for s22+
don't believe this whole bs
Just pulled the trigger on a S22+ coming from an iPhone X for the past 5 years. I just can't justify spending 1k plus for the new and same iPhone interface again. Android is not perfect, but I need a change.
i'm looking forward to buy the s22 , it looks like the perfect compact phone for android! thanks for your vids and unbiased review!
My 12 pro iPhone battery lasts about 3 hours. Apple doesn’t care about maintaining phones they do everything they can to force you to buy their newest, $1k+ phone. I’m switching to Samsung when the s23 comes out
I love my s22 plus. Zero complaints here. Camera is crazy! My favorite thing about this phone by far.
Going to get the S22 plus for 2022!
I was a massive fan of HTC and have been struggling to find the perfect android, the OnePlus 6T was great but I've been a bit disappointed with OnePlus 9 so going Samsung this year!
This year, I'm really looking forward to buying an iphone 13 pro. I've been using Android for 5 years, and am a bit disappointed with the lag as well as battery drain! However, I do love samsungs One UI and the customisation available on Android. That said, I really would like to try an iPhone to see if these issues are resolved, which I've heard from others.
I'm so torn... there is no sensible option for android nowadays... I'm considering sony Xperia 5 iv when it comes out but the 21:9 aspect ratio is horrible but at least jack and sd card
@@RK1FX s20+
Pete, what kind of keyboard you are using for your s22 plus?
Great post! I prefer Samsung Galaxy S22 Series to iPhone. I posted my comment as you asked but I don't wanna win an apple product. Leave me out of your contest. I'm Android true. Love your honest opinion though.
what kind of issues the exynos CPU or chipset does? does this apply to s21 fe's exynos too ? the entire range is affected ?
Exacly the reason I chose OnePlus. The overlay llyout (out of the box) isn't very attracting at first, but the lightweight software overall is so much better then one UI. Even so you get the snapdragon as standard, always l, everywhere.
All galaxies have that disgusting camera shutter delay. That is the biggest reason I will switch from my galaxy S10 to an iPhone later this year.
I don't take too many photos but when I need, the camera lag makes me miss a lot of moments because the photo takes time to be taken and gets blurry in many cases.
Reason why i found your video useful and entertaining is that i'm actually saving up to buy an s22+
I also love watching videos where people switch phones and ecosystems from what they're used to so thanks!
I've been using iPhone for years, and I'm still on the base model iPhone 8, but I think I am finally going to upgrade to the S22 Plus. It is just so clean looking and I'm ready for something new
Bought an S22 ultra but I’m really looking forward to upgrading my galaxy watch. Upgraded from the galaxy watch to the watch 4 and saw a huge reduction in battery life, hoping this can be fixed with the GW5.
Another deal breaker for me is there is NO Natural Language input for Android Calender apps.
IPhone calendar apps have Natural Language input.
This is one of the reasons WHY I stick with IPhone over Android.
Sorry, I'm not a tech expert and i'd like to ask if you think that after new software updates the exynos processor will get better. I got an update on October 1st and it alredy got much better
S22 ultra user with snapdragon gen1, love it, even better performance since the UI 5 update. Can't wait for the S23 ultra
really looking forward to get a new phone, try to make a choice between the 14 pro and the s22 plus.
I've had my samsung galaxy s7 edge for several years now. Been looking at getting the samsung s22. Is the s22+ any different, or just bigger?
Got the S22+ snapdragon and I love everything except the battery. It definitely needs to be improved imho, also google play services is taking up a lot of battery
Loved the video. Keep it up!!!!
Looking forward for iPhone 14😁
Currently using the S20 Plus but got my eye on the S22 plus. After watching this review I am totally sold on the S22 plus.
This year I’m going for a new phone maybe the s22 or iPhone 14 when it eventually gets revealed
This year am planning to get my first iphone.. Mostly a 13 pro and also need to change my old laptop with a new powerful one. May be a macbook pro
I'm really looking forward to buying the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I'm currently using the Note 10 plus and I know the S23 Ultra is being released this year with many promising features but I think the S22 Ultra's price drops will make it a better upgrade for me.
The performance hiccups have been mostly sorted or improved with android 13. I upgraded to the s22 Ultra from a Note 10+ which was running android 12 at that moment (both exynos), and the s22 was also on android 12 out of the box and initial impressions with a 3 generation newer phone were bad, felt like I got scammed :))) Most of the stutters from the Note 10 (3 years + older!!) were also on the S22 (really shows how much software matters, rather than chipset). Luckily android 13 for the s22 was already available, upgraded, and only then I felt I really had a new phone.
Want to upgrade from my note 9. Phone has been great but battery life is aweful now and I have to bring my charger to work now.
Not sure if I'm going with Samsung since it seems like a lot of reviews mention terrible battery life. Considering trying the 13 promax but idk, so use to android.
Decisions
Why samsung? There also Oneplus, Xiaomi, Asus, Google pixel etc.
This year, I'm looking forward to buying the S22 Ultra. I've been holding out on it for a couple months, but I really want to get it
one One UI, just click on the three dots menu at the bottom of the volume slider, it will reveal about 4 different volume sliders there itself!
After being a long iPhone user. (Using an XR at the moment) I’m tempted to jump back to android and keeping my eyes on the pixel 7 when that launches later this year. The iPhone 13 pro is very tempting though.
I am getting the S22. I've been using Samsung A7 since 2018 and wanted to update. While the battery still gets me through the day with lighter use, the phone itself got laggy.
This year i'm looking forward to buy an iphone 13 mini.Haven't really used an iphone that much.Probably my first iphone ever that i'm goin to buy.!
Honestly I am not sure if I will even get a phone. The phones don't come with a charger, they do have batteries. that run down. The iphone pro 13 is $168.00 dollars more then the Samsung S22 plus here in Canada. iphone still has that cut out at the top of the screen and their screen is smaller. Samsung doesn't have a SD card option anymore, which is another negative in my opinion.
This year I am looking forward to buying a new phone. I have had an old google pixel 3 for years now and now, the phone is lagging and restarts on its own. As a working student, having a phone is really essential.
I’m a pretty basic user and just purchased the s22 plus. I switched from the 13 pro max. The battery is obviously not near as great as the iPhone, however I still love the s 22 plus. I would have gotten the ultra, but i hated that they made it a note so I went with the plus.
Are you happy with s22+ ....what made you to switch from 13 pro Max ??
Im really looking forward to the new iphone 14 and S23! But I won't get it because I can't afford it, but Ill save up for a new phone eventually~
Just bought bought an unlocked refurbished for $470 and it came flawless. It's a steal at under $500.
This year I'm planning to buy a new iphone for my younger sister (iphone 11 if I could afford it by the end of this year), she is using an iphone 7 plus given down to her from my older sister 2 years ago, but it is a pain to see her constantly having to hook it on a charger, unable to play modern mobile games and take night mode pictures etc.
I am a lifelong Samsung S-series user who bought the iPhone 13 Pro, took 3 whole days to setup the phone, and then had it stolen within the week 😭I am now looking to buy either the iPhone13 again or the S22.
My biggest grouse as a flagship Samsung user is the notch (can't stand it!) and the 60Hz display (when I switched to the iPhone, I was unsure whether there were spots where the screen wasn't working and it was defective, then realised it's just a responsiveness issue). But IPhone's battery is just sooo much better, and its screen doesn't shatter easily (big klutz). So conflicted right now!
Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 has been underwhelming to say the least. I am looking forward to see how 8Gen1+, 8Gen 2 or Dimensity ones come up or else I will have to go for Iphone 14 pro.
This year, I'm planning to get an iPhone13 / Samsung s22/s22+.
It's been 5½ years since I hadn't changed my phone, I guess this the year to do that
So ive had iphone since the 4S, also ive had apple watches since the S4. Ive got a XR currently, was seriously thinking of getting an S22. Or do i get a discounted 13 pro in a few month, or even see what the phone 14 is like? 🤔
im looking forward to be ugrading my apple watch after 4 years of waiting with the new series 8.
As a student preparing to go to the university, I don't really have the finances to purchase a new phone, but I've been considering the iPhone 13 series or the s22 series. Would be really cool if I can get the iPhone or Samsung because they both are my top preferred phones.
no SID card slot. So... if exchange is made for new S22+ What do folks do with the cards?
Just bought the S22 in the US. Cant wait for it to arrive!
How come when someone sends me a photo from a iPhone to my galaxy it’s blurry ?most of the time happens when multiple photos sent at the same time
Have seen enough camera comparisons but what would be useful is to know which performs best in low light?
In love with the S22 plus! Everything looks perfect. I'm really thinking of upgrading to this from a galaxy a30s this year...
Did u upgrade
Looking forward to buy the s22+, the snapdragon variant. Going to upgrade from using my oneplus 6t for 3years+.
I have just changed from my iPhone to S22 plus. I found it easier to use. The iPhone battery after 10 months just didn’t keep a long enough charge.
I am surely planning to buy a high end camera centric phone well given the amount of media that is consumed by others it totally makes easier to make content when I will have a high end flagship.
Well to be honest I am leaning towards s22 ultra a little bit ,but I'll love to win the iphone too.
Hope the best.
Also congratulations in Advance for 50,000 subs
Great video - I am a big fan of both and considering going from my Samsung S22 Ultra to the Iphone.
Looking forward to buying an Ebike this year - tech meets sport = perfect
I've been using an S9 for the past for years and I'm planning to buy my first iPhone, the iPhone 13 mini. The battery only holds charge for about 3.5 to 4 hours.
Facing battery drain issue on my s22plus snapdragon version, also has heating issues, not sure if it is a software issue or need to change battery
I'm not planning to buy a phone this year I have s21+and its perfect but if I have the chance to change it I'll go for iPhone 13 pro lol
I think S22 this year is a fantastic choice and looking forward to buying a Sony camera!
Decided to get S22+ in October over upcoming Pixel 7 due to your video and sub par service availability for Pixel back home.
Watching from my s22+...loving that flat beautiful screen as well...
P.s - it can go from 24hz to 120hz
You kinda sold me on the S22+, will definitely look into it in 2022!
iPhone can do extra dim if you go into accessibility settings.
