The S22 features a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED FHD+ display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. You also get a 40MP (f/2.2) front camera and three rear lenses that include a 50MP (f/1.8) main, 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide, and a 10MP (f/2.4) 3x telephoto lens. In our <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/samsung-galaxy-s22" data-link-merchant="tomsguide.com"" data-link-merchant="Amazon US"">Galaxy S22 review, we called it a solid step ahead for Samsung, with noticeable improvements to the display and the camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is the least expensive member of the S22 family, but the value you get for your money is excellent. With a bright 6.1-inch display, strong low-light photography, and great performance, you couldn't ask for more out of a phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU, the same chip found in the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. That's great, as you still get the premium performance of the Snapdragon 8 chip without shelling out any extra cash. Although it wasn't as speedy as the iPhone 14, the Samsung Galaxy S22 easily handled everything we threw at it, including browsing, streaming, and rendering video clips.

The main downside of the Samsung Galaxy S22 is its battery life. The Samsung Galaxy S22 lasted 7 hours and 51 minutes in our tests, which is a little disappointing for a phone at this price point. At least the phone gets to 60% charge in 30 minutes, so a quick charge during your lunch break should be enough to get you through the day if you use your phone a lot.

    Another (of many) deliberately misleading click-bait headlines.
    This title should read "for $99 in cash... and your current $700 phone" you can get the S22.

    Everyone used to trust TomsGuide. Never again.

    Agreed. With the same trade in they still wanted 599 for the s22 where I pre ordered my pixel for 259.99 after trade in. Even trading in a s21 they still want 474.99 for the s22 where if you trade that same s21 you could get the pixel for 107.77
