Samsung Galaxy S22

The Samsung Galaxy S22 lineup features the compact vanilla model, which offers a premium design experience in a smaller package. The phone's build is similar to last year's S21, but with some notable improvements, such as a glass back and aluminum frame. The 6.1-inch AMOLED display boasts a 1080p resolution, HDR 10+ support, and a fast 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the Galaxy S22 is powered by an Exynos 2200 chipset, which delivers flagship-grade performance, surpassing last year's model and even some of this year's plus and ultra variants. The camera system, shared with the S22+, features a 50MP main sensor, 10MP telephoto lens, and 12MP ultrawide camera. The cameras produce excellent images, with good detail and dynamic range in various lighting conditions. Portrait shots taken with the main or telephoto lenses are particularly impressive, while the ultrawide camera's photos are solid for its class. Low-light performance is also commendable, especially when using night mode. Video recording capabilities are equally impressive, with 4K footage from the main camera showcasing good detail and dynamic range, and 8K video available for the first time in an S22 device.
