First Samsung since S3

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2022

My last Samsung was the Galaxy S3 almost a decade ago. It had TouchWiz, which basically made me averse to Galaxy ever since. OneUI, comparatively, is better but doesn't allow the degree of customization I am accustomed to with OOS on my OP6. UI is good enough that I haven't opted for a third-party launcher, yet. Since purchase, I have received the August security patch. Hopefully the software support is as advertised, as this is the main reason I decided to return to Samsung after so long. Battery is meh. My actual capacity was only around 4300mAh. Wired SFC takes an hour to full. Two hours for FWC. SoT around 4-6h, with standby around 15-24h, depending on use. No other issues. I bought this on Prime Day, so I got a big discount compared to local sellers. Unfortunately, the US version does not have the appropriate 5G band for my country (PH), so I'm stuck on LTE. If you are considering this and plan to use it outside the US, just take note of 5G compatibility. Also only has 1 SIM slot. Inconvenient for people who use different numbers for personal and work use, or for other cases. Would recommend, but only buy this when on sale.

Do not buy from this vendor

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022

I purchased one of these S22+ on the 7th of August and all was fine for a week or two until magically the phone became reported as stolen. Thinking maybe it was just an issue with this one phone I then ordered a second one to replace the first and low and behold it worked for a week before it too becoming blacklisted and inoperable.

I reached out to Amazon who could only offer a refund, I reached out to my service providers who said it was a vendor issue and that all they could do was temporarily delist it for less than 24 hours before it was once again blacklisted and unusable. I reached out to Samsung who said there was nothing they could do as it was a service provider issue ( ATT & Cricket ). I even reached out to the organization who is in charge of the IMEI blacklist database and they pointed the finger back at the provider, Samsung, and Amazon. All the while I have two brand new phones that I cannot use due to someone along the line flagging both phones as having been stolen. I will be returning both phones after wiping all of my data from them.

I HIGHLY suggest that you DO NOT BUY this phone from Amazon, or from Samsung through Amazon as while the phone itself is exactly what I was looking for, the fact of the matter remains that the phone is useless when its been flagged by some unknown entity that no one seems to be able to point to and the only recourse I was able to find was to take it to a repair shop, where they would hold the phone for a month, and it would cost me $600 to "Repair it" by replacing the motherboard of the phone. Its not worth the headache and its certainly not worth paying nearly double the asking price of the phone.

Beautiful Phone with SUPER bright screen

Beautiful phone! I've used over seven phones in the last year simply because I like switching phones a lot and I love trying different flavors of android. This phone's design is amazing the screen is definitely the brightest I've ever seen and the battery life is solid. The only real complaint I have about the phone would be the battery life being average overall the phone is incredible

Phone has a solid camera, high quality screen, and its processor is considerably stronger than my old S6 Edge. Difference is night and day between the two.

Battery life is not good, and UI is not optimized. The processor is good but not well optimized. The expectation was 95 out of 100. but got 65/100. Got scratched just from a minor drop.

Not Working with T-Mobile to WORKING T-MO

The Network ? plus no bars! I ask the community but did not get an answer. I went to the T-Mo store still didn't work with new sim! The phone is beautiful! But I must returned it even though i purchased a case screen protectors for the front and the back! Maybe I received a lemon! Oh, I live dead in the center of T-Mo
5G UC reception on my other phone!

UPDATE: Found someone at BB who know what was wrong! HAPPY NOW!

My wife gave me this phone as my birthday gift. I switched from iPhone to Samsung. I feel like I have control on my phone rather my phone controlling me. Sorry iPhone

I'm a Samsung fan and professional photographer, but I don't think I would buy this model again

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2022

Color: GreenSize: 128GBStyle: S22 +Verified Purchase

This is my fourth Samsung phone. Even though I liked my Galaxy S10, I decided to "upgrade" to this newer model as my backup camera for our 3 month Europe trip, for part of which I was on assignment with a major cruise line. Here's my summary after extensive use:
PROS: The HDR function works amazingly well, which means that in tricky lighting situations, including too much contrast or the opposite gray flat weather, it produces sharp and beautifully colored images. It handles low light situations really well, too. The battery lasts a long time--no idea how long because I charged every night and it never came close to dying.
CONS: Three things bother me: 1. The button for turning the screen on and off has been moved to the side of phone where my fingers hold the phone; this means that Bixby unintentionally is activated constantly (which I fixed by deactivating Bixby). 2. Turning off the phone is a challenge: you have to hold the down volume button and the screen on/off button simultaneously, and it has never turned off on the first try--always takes 3 or 4 tries to get the exact timing right or else only the volume goes down or the screen goes blank. 3. Using both 3x4 and 9x16 image sizes, on the normal mode (not zoom or wide angle) there is too much distortion on the periphery; meaning that if you shoot a group of people in a waist to head shot, the faces on both ends of the photo will show distinct wide angle distortion. Understandably, when using the wide angle feature, then the distortion on both sides of the photo is quite pronounced and I can accept that happening on the very wide view of the wide angle, but I don't accept it happening to such an extent in the "normal" setting.
If I had it to do over again, I would not have bought this phone.

Not what it should be.

This phone has not enough memory for aa top-tier phone. The A53 had an SD slot but not this top tier phone. If it does not have SD card then it needs at least 500G of memory. I ended up with an A53 and am pretty underwelmed by that. It needs to say in the title, NO SD CARD SLOT.
