“But if you already got the Samsung Galaxy S21, and you upgrade and get the S22, congratulations, you bought the same phone twice.” - Flossy Carter, 2022
Well as much as a love flossy and white shoes i think flossy not quite correct as the S21Ultra that I have doesn't have a built-in Bluetooth S-Pen it's brighter than a S21Ultra has better camera software which gives you better results and not forgetting impressive night mode photos also the S22 Ultra is wider which is nicer in the hands (ladies you know the procedures) and it's not as top heavy better balanced as the metal has been removed from the camera lens so a different phone period 😉
My vote is for not skipping over the settings. Also I vote for waiting for retail units. These two things are for me what makes your reviews truly a REAL review. I like how you play and use the phone like we do! Seeing the full experience is what sets you apart from all the other reviews out there.
I love you going through the settings! However, I think a massive improvement that makes everyone happy is if you add the timestamps in the description. That way they become available on the video, so for those who don't care that much about settings, they can skip that section, while us who do care can watch it and get a rough estimate on how long each section of the video is!
Yeah I guess but on the other hand, even by an s21 ultra for $700 right now. In a year's time the s22 ultra will be $700. Note 20 ultra has the more thermally efficient ship, and expandable storage and 12 GB of RAM in every model. If you only live once treat yourself to a Note 9 for $200 and you'll have $1,000 left over!
And Note20U stops receiving updates next year too otherwise I would've got it. Rn I'm rocking Note10+, It stops updating this year but I'm getting s22U and that'll do me a solid for 4yrs .
Don't change it up too much Flossy! I love the format. If someone doesn't want to see the settings, it's very easy to skip, but for people actually thinking of this particular phone, they gotta see that!
The sound test gets me everytime! 😂 Love your videos, I really get a good feel of the tech, you are so reliable and entertaining and real. Thank you!!!!

The one thing that I was focusing on is how incredible Samsung Galaxy S22 battery performance is. Despite that flossy actually uses full brightness + extra brightness, the battery only drops from 75 to 73 in 15 minutes, that's a long time.
Literally the best tech reviewer flossy just get straight to the point he doesn't use all those special effects that most tech reviewers use he simply is using the phone right in front of us from a persons point of view like if we were to have the phone in our hands so we can see exactly how the phone really is, that is a real review 💯
There are only a few S22 reviews which gives you the lowdown of the "pros and cons" and this is one of them. One of the best S22 reviews I've watched, straight to the point, keepin' it real Flossy, 100%! Definitely has made my decision to go for this phone. Thank you.......
Only thing against the s21 is you end up with a years less updates and security patches. Not a problem if you turn your phone over in 2 years, but I like to hold on to mine. Great review as always, best place to find out if a phone has got the goods. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this review! I just broke my S10 and needed a new phone. I will DEFINITELY be getting the S21 after seeing this review. Thanks for the tips! UPDATE: Neither Verizon nor Samsung had the S21 5G in stock. Samsung only had the S21 Ultra....and I wanted the smaller phone. Boooo.....so I had to get the S22.
He actually paid for one for himself and it's on the way so he's good. He can give it to us straight right now on the unit he has and it won't matter. He's already paid, he's a consumer.
I really appreciate your real reviews, so I don’t mind waiting until you get the retail version. In fact it was you that taught me that there’s sometimes a difference in the units companies send reviewers and the ones the regular person gets.
Floss, you're definitely one of the best in the game. As for the debate whether to switch things up, I wouldn't put much thought into it because you'll just start overthinking everything then find yourself in a rut before you realize it. But change can also be a good thing too. Just as long as it's not forced, instead let it happen naturally.
Samsung Free is still available... you can swap back and forth from Google Discover and Samsung Free when you long press the home screen to bring up wallpapers/widgets, then swipe right. Love your reviews!
Just got my S22+ two days ago to replace a Note 9 with a failing screen. So far I'm very pleased by it, and the 120hz display really makes a big difference when it comes to touch-based controls. Just as a side note for modern phones in general, I was amazed by how easy it was to transfer my old phone's contents to the new one. Took less than 10 minutes. Didn't even have to reprogram my Cricket sim card either, it just worked immediately. The 45W charger was unavailable from Samsung so I'm using a 35W charger which still charges "Super Fast" and takes approximately just over one hour to charge from 5%. I highly recommend the green color, the Samsung store page doesn't do it justice. It looks much better when seen anywhere but on their website. It's more of a dark teal (cyan-green) color than green. On a side note, when I used the sim tray tool to pull out the tray on the Note 9, it flew out and hit me in the face and both the microsd and sim card flew across my room and it took me awhile to find them... the Samsung trays really do suck, it should just be a push-click-popout mechanism or something like another phone I had prior to the Note 9.
I agree with the green colour, they didn't do the colour justice. I sent photos of the phone colours to other people to get an opinion, but almost none of them picked the green colour. I then showed them the "other" model colour from a UA-cam review (I lied, it was just green) and they started saying that looked really good and refreshing
@@tarekekram8441 I have a S22 plus and at first the battery was so so for the first few days. I take it that it needed time to get used to my usage patterns. At the moment I'm getting roughly 6-8 hours of on screen time. By the time I get ready for bed I'm at around 15-20%. Hasn't been bad at all for me. And I'm a medium to heavy user when it comes to media/UA-cam videos etc.
The package presentation from all these flagship phones are getting pathetic. They charge consumers like robbery in a broad daylight and yet the packaging is nowhere near premium phone. I don’t like this. Nevertheless, great review video as always. My first and go to gadget review channels 👍
Yeah and no expandable storage on a productivity phone to me is the last straw with Samsung. Even the ultra tablet doesn't have a charger in the box. Wtf
@It aint no thing The point is the lack of accessories which are genuinely important. It's not just Samsung of course Microsoft, Google, obviously Apple are all guilty of this. But Samsung was the first and the Android leader in the Western market. They deserve a shitload of criticism for getting rid of a charger, the headphone jack, a case, headphones all which used to come in their phones just a couple years ago.
@It aint no thing Dude, you should look at Oppo Find X5 Pro. That’s how flagship phone packaging MUST be. Oppo has set the bar so high that put all other flagship phones (Apple, Samsung, Google) bite the dust. The 120hz phone, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon, Ceramic back phone, 80 Watt charger, charging cable, phone casing in the box. Hope Flossy make video review for the Oppo Find X5 Pro soon 🙏🏼
First review I have watched of yours and it was brilliant. Honest, straight forward and straight to the point. Really enjoyed. Ps.. I'm switching from a very troublesome zflip 3 to the s22 7th march. Really looking forward to it 😊
Don't skip the settings. Even though I have had Samsung phones for years it never hurts to get a refresher course. I will gladly wait for the Ultra review in March, looking forward to it.
Love your family show reviews man, very informative. I like the in-depth look at everything and actual phone usage as it gives a good idea of how it really feels. You also have a good understanding of what most consumers are looking for in a phone.
Love your indepth reviews Floss. I truly appreciate the work you put in with every device you review. You're content is honest,fresh, and amazing to watch.
Most reviews say nothing about the improved modem over the past few years x50 to x55 x60 x65 ect. It is HUGE as far as connectivity to LTE and 5G network bands. Now they are incorporated into the CPU instead separate like on the note 20 ultra and prior and are absolutely monumental for good reception and speed. One of the most important features taken for granted and never reviewed. This phone with series 8 gen 1 has the most advanced modem to date for excellent connectivity and speed in the most remote places.
Always the best and most honest real world reviews here with Flossy! I totally agree with the presentation, I received my S22 Ultra 512gb Burgundy today and first thing I thought was it was such a minimalistic box. For the price of the Ultra it should defiantly come with headphones, SD card slot and maybe a case. I'm loving my S22 Ultra so far, such a nice phone, already has a defender pro case and soon a Whitestone Dome protector to guard this beautiful bad boy!! Enjoyed the video, the laughs and number one the real world info! That sound test had me rollin, great!!!! You rock Floss!
Always a good time to watch a Flossy review. Can't wait for the Ultra GALACTUS review. I get mine this coming Monday. Great deal but it'll be on Google Fi Network... We shall see. Anyway, great review as always 👍🏼🤘🏼
Just ordered one of these, in white. I'm coming from a Note 20 Ultra, and while I might occasionally miss the S-Pen, I'm looking forward to having something that doesn't pull my shorts off when I put it in my pocket :D As for the screen resolution: I set my Note to 720p and 60Hz a week ago, and haven't noticed, so I'm not worried about 1080 on a smaller screen.
Appreciate your in depth review. Also don't skip the settings! It's a rather important thing to see. Thanks to all the promotions You can actually get S22 cheaper than S21 in my country so it's a no brainer.
Awesome review as always bro! Not many are reviewing the regular s22. I preordered the s22 and it will be my first Samsung s series phone. On a side note, anytime I watch a NFV(non Flossy video), I can’t take them seriously when they unbox it with a knife and don’t say raaah lol 😂
I am usually frustrated when I see a big video without chapters and time stamps. But your videos are just so interesting and honest, with the company of Whiteshoes too, that I really don't mind! The only thing I missed here is a comment about the battery, is it ok for a full day? It is lower than the S21 but is there a big difference?
OK Flossy, I gave in. Traded in my old S20 Ultra 5G OG to Verizon, knocked out $800, got me a 128GB Phantom Black S22 Ultra 5G. It rocks! Love this phone. Thanks for a great review!
I will wait for the real review of Galaxy 22 Ultra. And also going through the settings is very useful. Love your videos. Often watching something that I am not interested in just because of entertainment. It's early in the morning in my part of the Europe, great way to start the day.
Been using the S22+ for 2 days and it's super fast. No lags so far. However not sure battery better than my pixel 6. I do miss the pixels features like screen call, assistant hold, and many other exclusive features. I'll see how it goes, but so far is good.
bruh i have the pixel 4 xl for a year now and i found out about this features just now from you? late but still great thanks mate. PS and i also preordered s22 . but i had samsungs before ,i know ill like it.
Watching the S22 review on my S22!! I have to say it's a beautiful phone, my only problem so far is the battery life (although I only charge it up to 85%)
And battery life is the most important thing of a phone. Can't believe a 3700 battery with a slow 25w charging. The competitor of S22 is Xiaomi 12. It has 4500 battery and 67w charging.
@@elizabethpalma318 increases battery life, it's not good for battery to discharge it completely or to charge it to 100%, keep battery between 20-80% if you want to prolong it's life
I still over my S10+. in 2 years it has functioned perfectly 100% of the time. It's perfectly snappy and everything feels instant, so the tech is hitting a threshold of human perception. I'm upgrading to the S22+ anyway. I'm thinking it might be nice to use a flat display for a change.
Did you ever upgrade to the s22+? I've also considered getting an s22+ and I'd be coming from the s10. Would you say it was worth it, or would I be better off waiting?
the standard s22 is a perfect one-handed size. still a large screen, but pocketable and easy to use. phones are getting way too big so this is refreshing
I was waiting for this, great review as always 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I definitely agree about the pricing. This S22+ should not have been $1000 but yet i paid it anyway because the pink gold is pretty 🤦🏾♀️😂 I can't wait for the S22 ultra review. p.s. don't stop showing us the settings, I like things like that lol I actually changed some of mine while watching your review 😅
Let's go! I cannot wait until you do the full review of the s22 ultra. I rather wait for your own on March 8th one your own s22 I want you to go full blown honest opinion about it rather you hurt Samsung feelings or not you got to say what you got to say if other phones still got it they should too.
It's just so weird how the base model for the s22 series such as 128gb internal storage and 8 gb ram is the same as my s10 except I can expand my phone memory. I really wish that they bring expandable storage background
@diabloa.1700 well the s20 and 21 should be cheaper now. I buy my phone straight out.i traded my s10+ for a zflip 3 and paid 670 but i got a wireless charger and a Samsung tag with it...then i traded the flip 3 for the 4 and got a watch and buds for 620...so pick a 1000 phone and trade in you 10 directly from Samsung it should make it 800 or 900. If thats too much. Buy one off Amazon for 600 or 700...you really need to spend once and your in there with upgrades
Thanks for giving us a full in depth review of the regular s22 man. I've been pulling my hair looking for uploads. Everyone is focusing more on the plus and ultra variants.
Flossy Carter is one of my favorite reviewers because he gets straight to the point and isn’t trying to show off fancy editing tricks like a lot of other reviewers on UA-cam are.
Floss thanks for covering the DEX. is prety cool ive preodered the s22 and you got me scared with the double major go. i was so relieved when you changed to triple . PS in europe most ppl buy phones on contract couple hundred plus or minus on the price doesnt make a difference in somebody buying the phone in most cases. quality of the phone matters more.ill get the buds for free so is good anyway.
Nice review! Ima come back to this in a few days when my s22 comes in the mail. I got the 256 GB for $50 more and luckily, the $800 was covered for upgrading the service. But I did get the s22 instead of s21 because of its size.
That white shoes white look so clean might have to snag one of these for my back up phone. Hey floss if you see this comment what do you think of the Samsung type c memory stick and are you going to review them
Case, earbuds, stickers ...nah. How bout put a damn charger in the box! Samsung has finally shit the bed with me. I would have been upgrading to the 22 ultra, so they saved me a lot of money by going limp. I'm over paying more for less... Or worse, paying for a brand.
In my book any phone with 128GB of RAM and no microSD card shouldn't cost more than £/€/$ 500 in this time and age, sorry. I don't care if it has the best display and cameras in the market, period.
I say dont skip over the setting. As a samsung buyer... Looking at a possible purchase... I LOVE seein it all indepth.. Thx for covering the xtra buttons u can ADD.... ## MAYBE FOR THE complainers.. You can just tell em to Fast forward (by adding that chapter menu thing for your episode😎).. Great videos thanks for all the info
Great review bro but I am going hold on to my 21 ultra. Tech nerd inside me want to get the upgrade but I can wait. My goal to upgrade a phone until the battery is dead.. always pay my phone upfront too..
One key problem with the plastic back I've noticed on my note 20: even when using a case, the plastic recieves a LOT of dents and scratches because if a tiny piece of dirt or dust gets into your case, it presses into the plastic, damaging it
Thanks floss I was gonna buy it but after seeing your review I’m gonna keep my (Quad major go) S10. Yes the S 22 is cute but I can’t live without my headphone jack cause I too have an old school car. Samsung messed up by giving me four years worth of updates lol plus MKBHD says the vibration motor ain’t all that, how do you feel about the vibration motor on the S 22?
Hey floss, it would be nice if you also covered stuff like Good Lock app and also how users can turn off/reduce animations and stuff in developer options, when reviewing samsung phones. If not developer options, you should atleast cover good lock app. So that people (both samsung users who dont know about it or iphone users switching to samsung) can know about extra customizations and multitasking stuff samsung phones have to offer. Introducing goodlock and showing what all it does in your reviews, will literally take just 5 more minutes and I think its worth it.
Floss I love your reviews, I dont need fucking B roll from the international space station, robotic hands filming the phone in 4 dimensions, animations straight from a pixar movie. Just a man telling me if the god damn phone is worth buying.
I love the videos, man. Keep it up !!! Don't skip the setting videos; leave it because it's informative, and not everything is the same to previous phones. I kind of disagree that's it's the same phone as the S21. I mean S21 currently costs (new) 600 Euros ( I live in Germany) and the S22 costs 849 Euros. Samsung gives us really good discounts , trade-ins, and additional offers, when a new phone comes out. But I rather prefer the S22 because of the way it feels in the hand also the build quality, display and new camera specs. Also I think that we just have to get used to companies leaving out the charger, no expandable storage and no headphone jack. But when I think about it we all use Bluetooth headphones because there convenient and chargers we all got at the house. I think the only real downside would be the expandable storage.
Making me jealous. Switched around from a Z Flip 3 to a Pixel 6 back to an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Not sure I want to go back to Android, but this phone looks awesome.
The S22 series looks like some killer phones. I'm one of the OG Samsung Knights ⚔️ and will always be a fanboy, but decided to take a break from Sammy and bought the Pixel 6 Pro, which I'm very happy with. I do miss a few of the Samsung features, but absolutely do not miss Bigsby and all the duplicate Samsung apps. Looking forward to seeing the Ultra review 👍
Loveeeeeee your reviews floss 💕 can’t wait to see the ultra review ☺️ can’t decide witch Samsung to go with…coming from iPhone. Ready for something new 🥰
I'd recommend dividing the video in segments and let viewers know them so we can skip to those. For instance, I'm extremely interested in battery life which is the biggest issue with this phone. Instead of watching 40+ minutes, I could just skip to the section I'm interested in.
I’m watching this S22 “Real Review”. You mentioned the review of the “Ultra” which I just received 4 days ago. I say do the full review after you get your unit. I can’t wait. I unboxed mine, but haven’t dug into it yet. Like you, that unboxing is so underwhelming. I’m still pissed that I get a CORD! with NO BRICK!! This bugs the hell out of me. Anyway, keep it up. I look forward to your review.
I'm on day 3 or 4 with my s22 and still love it so far. If you have small hands like I do, it's perfect and a case can always give a little depth to it. Love watching your UA-cam videos. To me it still has a little iphone type feel and some likes from it. Loving the voice recognition even better
@@waniskandar4612 HI there. My honest opinion is the battery is fine. Yes it's smaller but it also depends on what your going to use your phone for all day. If someone is a heavy duty movies watcher or gamer then I suggest the next size up. I go to college and straight to work and the battery last me all day
@@LaceyB21 Hi Lacey, thanks for your response. It's pretty reassuring to hear that it's not as bad as what people make it out to be. I think I'll jump the gun and make the purchase. Thanks again, cheers.
Floss as always great video man!!!! I ended up pulling the trigger and ordered the s22 ultra!!! Trading in my beast note 20 ultra but the graphite looks sick in my opinion and most of all those cameras are gonna be amazing!!! Add in getting the galaxy watch 4 lte for free with the credit and money for the note 20 u and it was a wrap!!! Can't wait for it it to get here and f verizon!!! Unlocked with straight talk on Verizon towers and I'm jacked lol!! Take care floss and as always thanks for always giving your followers some kickass content but damnit samsung needs the SD card back and the 🎧 jack along with the charging brick when they drop the note 23 ultra..ahahahaha!! Take care!!!! And floss I'd love to watch you review the 22 ultra but man just your comments here are good enough I know I made the right choice and hell March 8th is right around the corner!!!!
Love the reviews as always. For now, I'll stick with my s21 ultra. Been a decent phone. I bought it for the cameras. I had to get the phone replaced under warranty. Main camera went bad. One thing, these phones are heavy. You feel it in whatever pocket you have it in. That sound test is a bit cringe. But that's just my opinion.
I personally prefer the in depth coverage my man. Maybe you could add some time cards to let people know what section is what so they can skip around but me, I love the whole shabang!! 🔥🔥
Bro how could anyone want an iPhone when Samsung has so much better and more features. I know it’s not as basic as that, but I still feel that Samsung is just better.
first time watching your videos. this was great. you had a question on settings. and yes i want to see them on your unboxings. because Android 12 on the Pixels absolutely ruined Quick Settings with those large icons and removing them from the first swipe down.
Hi Flossy, thank you for the great review. I have a s20 plus with a small defect on screen, no cracks, so I am trying to upgrade before it gets worse. Should I go for the regular degular s22 for $341 with trade in?

Samsung Free is still available... you can swap back and forth from Google Discover and Samsung Free when you long press the home screen to bring up wallpapers/widgets, then swipe right. Love your reviews!
Just got my S22+ two days ago to replace a Note 9 with a failing screen. So far I'm very pleased by it, and the 120hz display really makes a big difference when it comes to touch-based controls. Just as a side note for modern phones in general, I was amazed by how easy it was to transfer my old phone's contents to the new one. Took less than 10 minutes. Didn't even have to reprogram my Cricket sim card either, it just worked immediately. The 45W charger was unavailable from Samsung so I'm using a 35W charger which still charges "Super Fast" and takes approximately just over one hour to charge from 5%. I highly recommend the green color, the Samsung store page doesn't do it justice. It looks much better when seen anywhere but on their website. It's more of a dark teal (cyan-green) color than green.
On a side note, when I used the sim tray tool to pull out the tray on the Note 9, it flew out and hit me in the face and both the microsd and sim card flew across my room and it took me awhile to find them... the Samsung trays really do suck, it should just be a push-click-popout mechanism or something like another phone I had prior to the Note 9.
I agree with the green colour, they didn't do the colour justice. I sent photos of the phone colours to other people to get an opinion, but almost none of them picked the green colour. I then showed them the "other" model colour from a UA-cam review (I lied, it was just green) and they started saying that looked really good and refreshing
Why didn’t you get the S22 Ultra?
Please tell me about battery performance. Specially when you heavy use it.
If you have a normal s22 it only supports up to 25w fast charging
@@tarekekram8441 I have a S22 plus and at first the battery was so so for the first few days. I take it that it needed time to get used to my usage patterns. At the moment I'm getting roughly 6-8 hours of on screen time. By the time I get ready for bed I'm at around 15-20%. Hasn't been bad at all for me. And I'm a medium to heavy user when it comes to media/UA-cam videos etc.
The package presentation from all these flagship phones are getting pathetic. They charge consumers like robbery in a broad daylight and yet the packaging is nowhere near premium phone. I don’t like this. Nevertheless, great review video as always. My first and go to gadget review channels 👍
Yeah and no expandable storage on a productivity phone to me is the last straw with Samsung. Even the ultra tablet doesn't have a charger in the box. Wtf
@It aint no thing The point is the lack of accessories which are genuinely important. It's not just Samsung of course Microsoft, Google, obviously Apple are all guilty of this. But Samsung was the first and the Android leader in the Western market. They deserve a shitload of criticism for getting rid of a charger, the headphone jack, a case, headphones all which used to come in their phones just a couple years ago.
@It aint no thing
Dude, you should look at Oppo Find X5 Pro. That’s how flagship phone packaging MUST be. Oppo has set the bar so high that put all other flagship phones (Apple, Samsung, Google) bite the dust. The 120hz phone, the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon, Ceramic back phone, 80 Watt charger, charging cable, phone casing in the box.
Hope Flossy make video review for the Oppo Find X5 Pro soon 🙏🏼
@@michaelcorcoran8768 It's called capitalism. Corporate greed exceeds our needs.
Floss hammering out those reviews faster than the speed of light!
First review I have watched of yours and it was brilliant. Honest, straight forward and straight to the point. Really enjoyed.
Ps.. I'm switching from a very troublesome zflip 3 to the s22 7th march. Really looking forward to it 😊
How's the battery?
Don't skip the settings. Even though I have had Samsung phones for years it never hurts to get a refresher course. I will gladly wait for the Ultra review in March, looking forward to it.
Just switched back to Samsung after being with Apple for a while, couldn't find anything to watch. Perfect timing. 👌🙌
What kind of iPhone did you have?
Love your family show reviews man, very informative. I like the in-depth look at everything and actual phone usage as it gives a good idea of how it really feels. You also have a good understanding of what most consumers are looking for in a phone.
Floss holding it down with the reviews. Best UA-camr hands down.
Love your indepth reviews Floss. I truly appreciate the work you put in with every device you review. You're content is honest,fresh, and amazing to watch.
Most reviews say nothing about the improved modem over the past few years x50 to x55 x60 x65 ect. It is HUGE as far as connectivity to LTE and 5G network bands. Now they are incorporated into the CPU instead separate like on the note 20 ultra and prior and are absolutely monumental for good reception and speed. One of the most important features taken for granted and never reviewed. This phone with series 8 gen 1 has the most advanced modem to date for excellent connectivity and speed in the most remote places.
Imma need a whole Ultra Review Movie! 3 hours and no edits 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
Definitely!!!!! That’s the review of all reviews!
Always the best and most honest real world reviews here with Flossy! I totally agree with the presentation, I received my S22 Ultra 512gb Burgundy today and first thing I thought was it was such a minimalistic box. For the price of the Ultra it should defiantly come with headphones, SD card slot and maybe a case. I'm loving my S22 Ultra so far, such a nice phone, already has a defender pro case and soon a Whitestone Dome protector to guard this beautiful bad boy!! Enjoyed the video, the laughs and number one the real world info! That sound test had me rollin, great!!!! You rock Floss!
Hey bro, how is the battery on ur s22 ultra?
@@DarkWarrior1337 just got it yesterday but so far so good with what I've used it for.
Always a good time to watch a Flossy review. Can't wait for the Ultra GALACTUS review. I get mine this coming Monday. Great deal but it'll be on Google Fi Network... We shall see. Anyway, great review as always 👍🏼🤘🏼
Just ordered one of these, in white. I'm coming from a Note 20 Ultra, and while I might occasionally miss the S-Pen, I'm looking forward to having something that doesn't pull my shorts off when I put it in my pocket :D
As for the screen resolution: I set my Note to 720p and 60Hz a week ago, and haven't noticed, so I'm not worried about 1080 on a smaller screen.
Appreciate your in depth review. Also don't skip the settings! It's a rather important thing to see. Thanks to all the promotions You can actually get S22 cheaper than S21 in my country so it's a no brainer.
I love you adding the settings it stands out from other reviewers. And it's part of the real review promise :)
Awesome review as always bro! Not many are reviewing the regular s22. I preordered the s22 and it will be my first Samsung s series phone. On a side note, anytime I watch a NFV(non Flossy video), I can’t take them seriously when they unbox it with a knife and don’t say raaah lol 😂
I am usually frustrated when I see a big video without chapters and time stamps. But your videos are just so interesting and honest, with the company of Whiteshoes too, that I really don't mind! The only thing I missed here is a comment about the battery, is it ok for a full day? It is lower than the S21 but is there a big difference?
OK Flossy,
I gave in.
Traded in my old S20 Ultra 5G OG to Verizon, knocked out $800, got me a 128GB Phantom Black S22 Ultra 5G.
It rocks!
Love this phone.
Thanks for a great review!
Definitely go over the settings.
Also, bring back the diner call! Really fun to watch that bit every time
I will wait for the real review of Galaxy 22 Ultra. And also going through the settings is very useful. Love your videos. Often watching something that I am not interested in just because of entertainment. It's early in the morning in my part of the Europe, great way to start the day.
Been using the S22+ for 2 days and it's super fast. No lags so far. However not sure battery better than my pixel 6. I do miss the pixels features like screen call, assistant hold, and many other exclusive features. I'll see how it goes, but so far is good.
Won’t be surprised if Samsung gets call screening soon
bruh i have the pixel 4 xl for a year now and i found out about this features just now from you? late but still great thanks mate. PS and i also preordered s22 . but i had samsungs before ,i know ill like it.
@@alien-vx2bj The phone app literally notifies you of the Pixel specific features all the time. 🤣
how does it hold in one hand?
If you have 5G on turn it off and just out the 4G on it saves the battery alot 5G burns through batteries to me
Notification squad in the building! 💯
You are reading my mind. I was thinking about buying the S22 and this video poped up. Finally found the channel I was looking for :D
Still some of the best content on UA-cam.
Watching this on my S22 Ultra, I got mine early through the pre order! Love your videos Flossy
I'm excited for your S22 Ultra review
is she heavy?
I pre-ordered the s22 Ultra. They sent me a 22 plus. Now I have to wait till Friday at the earliest. Possibly March 25. 😡
Wow mine is with the courier rn so will hopefully receive tomorrow
@@JimboJones99 it has a good weight to it, if you have large hands it's perfect
@@Abdullah-uv9nk I have large hands ✋. Which also means large ... 💭
Watching the S22 review on my S22!!
I have to say it's a beautiful phone, my only problem so far is the battery life (although I only charge it up to 85%)
What is the SOT time 4-5 hours?
And battery life is the most important thing of a phone. Can't believe a 3700 battery with a slow 25w charging. The competitor of S22 is Xiaomi 12. It has 4500 battery and 67w charging.
Why only 85
@@elizabethpalma318 increases battery life, it's not good for battery to discharge it completely or to charge it to 100%, keep battery between 20-80% if you want to prolong it's life
World war 3 just started and Floss out here still grinding lmao never stop my brother
I still over my S10+. in 2 years it has functioned perfectly 100% of the time. It's perfectly snappy and everything feels instant, so the tech is hitting a threshold of human perception. I'm upgrading to the S22+ anyway. I'm thinking it might be nice to use a flat display for a change.
Did you ever upgrade to the s22+? I've also considered getting an s22+ and I'd be coming from the s10. Would you say it was worth it, or would I be better off waiting?
the standard s22 is a perfect one-handed size. still a large screen, but pocketable and easy to use. phones are getting way too big so this is refreshing
I was waiting for this, great review as always 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I definitely agree about the pricing. This S22+ should not have been $1000 but yet i paid it anyway because the pink gold is pretty 🤦🏾♀️😂 I can't wait for the S22 ultra review.
p.s. don't stop showing us the settings, I like things like that lol I actually changed some of mine while watching your review 😅
Let's go! I cannot wait until you do the full review of the s22 ultra. I rather wait for your own on March 8th one your own s22 I want you to go full blown honest opinion about it rather you hurt Samsung feelings or not you got to say what you got to say if other phones still got it they should too.
It's just so weird how the base model for the s22 series such as 128gb internal storage and 8 gb ram is the same as my s10 except I can expand my phone memory. I really wish that they bring expandable storage background
For real
So disappointed that i cant find a phone from Samsung to upgrade to from my s10 for less than +1000 dollars they really killed the s regular and s+
@diabloa.1700 well the s20 and 21 should be cheaper now. I buy my phone straight out.i traded my s10+ for a zflip 3 and paid 670 but i got a wireless charger and a Samsung tag with it...then i traded the flip 3 for the 4 and got a watch and buds for 620...so pick a 1000 phone and trade in you 10 directly from Samsung it should make it 800 or 900. If thats too much. Buy one off Amazon for 600 or 700...you really need to spend once and your in there with upgrades
Thanks for giving us a full in depth review of the regular s22 man. I've been pulling my hair looking for uploads. Everyone is focusing more on the plus and ultra variants.
Flossy Carter is one of my favorite reviewers because he gets straight to the point and isn’t trying to show off fancy editing tricks like a lot of other reviewers on UA-cam are.
I want full fledged review of S22 Ultimate with all petty gripes😁💪🏿 Thats what I am looking for the most
Hell yeah s22 review looking forward to the motion picture that will be the s22 ultra review 👌
Floss thanks for covering the DEX. is prety cool ive preodered the s22 and you got me scared with the double major go. i was so relieved when you changed to triple . PS in europe most ppl buy phones on contract couple hundred plus or minus on the price doesnt make a difference in somebody buying the phone in most cases. quality of the phone matters more.ill get the buds for free so is good anyway.
Nice review! Ima come back to this in a few days when my s22 comes in the mail. I got the 256 GB for $50 more and luckily, the $800 was covered for upgrading the service. But I did get the s22 instead of s21 because of its size.
7:00 congratulations, you bought the same phone twice!? 😂😂😂 HAHAHA bro. 👊🏽
That white shoes white look so clean might have to snag one of these for my back up phone. Hey floss if you see this comment what do you think of the Samsung type c memory stick and are you going to review them
Case, earbuds, stickers ...nah. How bout put a damn charger in the box!
Samsung has finally shit the bed with me. I would have been upgrading to the 22 ultra, so they saved me a lot of money by going limp.
I'm over paying more for less... Or worse, paying for a brand.
In my book any phone with 128GB of RAM and no microSD card shouldn't cost more than £/€/$ 500 in this time and age, sorry. I don't care if it has the best display and cameras in the market, period.
The in depth videos are great 👏 Maybe drop time stamps in your description for those of us who don't need any more coverage of the settings.
I say dont skip over the setting.
As a samsung buyer... Looking at a possible purchase... I LOVE seein it all indepth.. Thx for covering the xtra buttons u can ADD....
## MAYBE FOR THE complainers.. You can just tell em to Fast forward (by adding that chapter menu thing for your episode😎)..
Great videos thanks for all the info
Great review bro but I am going hold on to my 21 ultra. Tech nerd inside me want to get the upgrade but I can wait. My goal to upgrade a phone until the battery is dead.. always pay my phone upfront too..
Hey Floss great review, I am waiting for that S22+ review since that's the phone I am the most interested in.
One key problem with the plastic back I've noticed on my note 20: even when using a case, the plastic recieves a LOT of dents and scratches because if a tiny piece of dirt or dust gets into your case, it presses into the plastic, damaging it
Appreciate you reviewing S22 base instead of the Ultra. So many keep reviewing the Ultra model and majority of people aren't going to buy that one.
Thanks for the review Flossy. You saved me some money. My Note 10 + is still going hard and I think I'll stick with it another year.
Thanks floss I was gonna buy it but after seeing your review I’m gonna keep my (Quad major go) S10. Yes the S 22 is cute but I can’t live without my headphone jack cause I too have an old school car. Samsung messed up by giving me four years worth of updates lol plus MKBHD says the vibration motor ain’t all that, how do you feel about the vibration motor on the S 22?
Hey floss, it would be nice if you also covered stuff like Good Lock app and also how users can turn off/reduce animations and stuff in developer options, when reviewing samsung phones. If not developer options, you should atleast cover good lock app.
So that people (both samsung users who dont know about it or iphone users switching to samsung) can know about extra customizations and multitasking stuff samsung phones have to offer. Introducing goodlock and showing what all it does in your reviews, will literally take just 5 more minutes and I think its worth it.
I bought my s21 a year ago. I'm keeping it another year before I decide to upgrade.
Same how I feel. I have s21 ultra. Holding until battery is dead.
@Rubi Dubi it should get updates til Android 15, Samsung is supporting it for 4 years
Floss I love your reviews, I dont need fucking B roll from the international space station, robotic hands filming the phone in 4 dimensions, animations straight from a pixar movie. Just a man telling me if the god damn phone is worth buying.
I love the aggression and PUSH in your voice lol. Catches the viewers attention like hell
I'm really thinking about switching to the Samsung side, but I don't know which s series to go for.
Might as well wait for the S23 noe
This guy knows EVERYTHING about the phones
"Feels so good in the hands ladies u know the procedure" Flossy a Boss 🤣
I love the videos, man. Keep it up !!!
Don't skip the setting videos; leave it because it's informative, and not everything is the same to previous phones.
I kind of disagree that's it's the same phone as the S21. I mean S21 currently costs (new) 600 Euros ( I live in Germany) and the S22 costs 849 Euros. Samsung gives us really good discounts , trade-ins, and additional offers, when a new phone comes out. But I rather prefer the S22 because of the way it feels in the hand also the build quality, display and new camera specs.
Also I think that we just have to get used to companies leaving out the charger, no expandable storage and no headphone jack. But when I think about it we all use Bluetooth headphones because there convenient and chargers we all got at the house. I think the only real downside would be the expandable storage.
Making me jealous. Switched around from a Z Flip 3 to a Pixel 6 back to an iPhone 13 Pro Max. Not sure I want to go back to Android, but this phone looks awesome.
Next year my guess would be that the s23 would have a flat 1440p 1-20hz display.
That's the only way Samsung could get me to upgrade again.
Mhm agree and 45w charging.
@@MaDFroG88 no
The S22 series looks like some killer phones. I'm one of the OG Samsung Knights ⚔️ and will always be a fanboy, but decided to take a break from Sammy and bought the Pixel 6 Pro, which I'm very happy with. I do miss a few of the Samsung features, but absolutely do not miss Bigsby and all the duplicate Samsung apps. Looking forward to seeing the Ultra review 👍
What about SOT ? battery life?
Loveeeeeee your reviews floss 💕 can’t wait to see the ultra review ☺️ can’t decide witch Samsung to go with…coming from iPhone. Ready for something new 🥰
I'd recommend dividing the video in segments and let viewers know them so we can skip to those. For instance, I'm extremely interested in battery life which is the biggest issue with this phone. Instead of watching 40+ minutes, I could just skip to the section I'm interested in.
I’m watching this S22 “Real Review”. You mentioned the review of the “Ultra” which I just received 4 days ago. I say do the full review after you get your unit. I can’t wait. I unboxed mine, but haven’t dug into it yet. Like you, that unboxing is so underwhelming. I’m still pissed that I get a CORD! with NO BRICK!! This bugs the hell out of me. Anyway, keep it up. I look forward to your review.
I'm on day 3 or 4 with my s22 and still love it so far.
If you have small hands like I do, it's perfect and a case can always give a little depth to it.
Love watching your UA-cam videos.
To me it still has a little iphone type feel and some likes from it.
Loving the voice recognition even better

@@waniskandar4612 HI there.
My honest opinion is the battery is fine. Yes it's smaller but it also depends on what your going to use your phone for all day. If someone is a heavy duty movies watcher or gamer then I suggest the next size up.

Add in getting the galaxy watch 4 lte for free with the credit and money for the note 20 u and it was a wrap!!! Can't wait for it it to get here and f verizon!!! Unlocked with straight talk on Verizon towers and I'm jacked lol!! Take care floss and as always thanks for always giving your followers some kickass content but damnit samsung needs the SD card back and the 🎧 jack along with the charging brick when they drop the note 23 ultra..ahahahaha!! Take care!!!! And floss I'd love to watch you review the 22 ultra but man just your comments here are good enough I know I made the right choice and hell March 8th is right around the corner!!!!
Shout out to my man Floss, saying "aluminium" like it's supposed to be 👍
Flossy the only guy who can drop a 50min review and I'll watch the whole thing.
Keep doing the settings. There's some settings we Samsung Knights forget about. And I don't mind the delay for the S22 Ultra. Keep em coming Floss!
Love the reviews as always. For now, I'll stick with my s21 ultra. Been a decent phone. I bought it for the cameras. I had to get the phone replaced under warranty. Main camera went bad. One thing, these phones are heavy. You feel it in whatever pocket you have it in. That sound test is a bit cringe. But that's just my opinion.

Bro how could anyone want an iPhone when Samsung has so much better and more features. I know it’s not as basic as that, but I still feel that Samsung is just better.
iPhone doesn't overheat, lag, stutter or have crap battery life.
first time watching your videos. this was great.
you had a question on settings. and yes i want to see them on your unboxings. because Android 12 on the Pixels absolutely ruined Quick Settings with those large icons and removing them from the first swipe down.
oh and first time watching i automatically subscribed within the first few mins. keep it up bruh.
Thanks brother and welcome to the family
Hi Flossy, thank you for the great review. I have a s20 plus with a small defect on screen, no cracks, so I am trying to upgrade before it gets worse. Should I go for the regular degular s22 for $341 with trade in?
I say go for it, keep in mind you will not have microsd card storage in the s22, so I'll be holding onto my S20
You should get the Galaxy s22 Plus
I just got a Carier S22 and this is a upgrade from my unlocked A34 and Wireless DeX is amazing - so i can beam a Desktop UI on any Display!
