Samsung Galaxy S22 AT&T

It's just the right size and the build is nice. The only thing I dislike is the drop in the quality of the screen. It's only 1080p, unlike the previous base flagship phones. Feels a little like a ripoff since it's about the same price as the old flagships.

I've had the s10 since 2019. Since Samsung released its last major update for the s10, I looked for a new affordable phone. I was originally considering a Google Pixel 6 Pro, but saw the s22 on sale. I've had it for just a couple of weeks and it is a pretty big improvement from the s10. It's faster and the zoom is better. But that's honestly all I can say about it in terms of improvements. Overall it feels pretty much the same as my s10, just faster and without a headphone jack. A powerhouse but feels more of the same.

Screen isn't crisp as it should be and speaker quality could be a lot better. Fingerprint sensor is garbage. Worst of all, the battery life is a complete joke. The battery life is especially laughable when you're playing a game on it.

Has Samsung gotten lazy? Battery life is terrible, there is no SD card slot, the camera is worse than the s10, and the resolution is much lower. How does Samsung get away with making an objectively worse phone more expensive?

I've been admittedly an Apple fanboy and had to have the latest phone. I had Apple fatigue so I swapped to the S22. So far it's been a nice breath of fresh air. It's a great phone to switch to if you're considering making the leap.
