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. Zoomed 4K videos taken with the telephoto lens are particularly excellent, while ultrawide footage has a narrower dynamic range but still impressive details. In conclusion, the Samsung Galaxy S22 offers a solid compact Android flagship experience, with no major breakthroughs or innovations compared to last year's model. However, its premium design, high-end performance, and excellent camera capabilities make it a worthwhile recommendation for those seeking a cutting-edge device in this form factor.
The Vivo V40E is a mid-range smartphone that boasts an impressive 5500 mAh battery capacity and 80W super fast charging capabilities. In this test review, we put the phone's charging speed to the test. With a fully dead battery (1% charge), we connected the phone to its 80W charger and let it run for 15 minutes, after which it reached 46%. The charging speed was remarkably fast, considering the phone's size and capacity. At 25 minutes, the battery had reached 67%, and by 35 minutes, it had climbed to 87%. The phone continued to charge quickly, hitting 96% by the 40-minute mark. After a further three minutes, the battery finally hit 100%. The entire charging process took just 43 minutes, a testament to the power of Vivo's 80W super fast charging technology. In our test conditions (21°C room temperature), the phone's charging speed was impressive, and we would expect similar results in everyday use. While the battery size is substantial, the phone's overall design is still sleek, with a glass back and plastic frame, featuring dual cameras and a 50MP primary sensor. While this review focused solely on the battery charging test, it's clear that the Vivo V40E has plenty to offer, including its speedy charging capabilities. If you're in the market for a mid-range smartphone with impressive specs, the Vivo V40E is definitely worth considering.
