Samsung Galaxy S22 Verizon

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.
