The smallest S22 flagship took its sweet time this year. It&#8217;s been plagued by delays in many markets across Europe and some impatient readers have even gone down the conspiracy route &#8211; we&#8217;ve heard that we&#8217;ve purposefully forgone an S22 review, but the truth is the Samsung store just took this long to ship our unit. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s an unboxing &#8211; you get the Galaxy S22 (ours is the Mystic White), a SIM tool, and a USB cable. This year&#8217;s box is smaller, making Samsung&#8217;s carbon footprint smaller. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The biggest story about this year&#8217;s S-line flagships is the fact that the Ultra and Plus have an S Pen, and Note-distinctive designs. The vanilla and Plus are slightly smaller. You wouldn&#8217;t feel that difference with the S22+, but the Galaxy S22 is even smaller than its already tiny predecessor. It&#8217;s a difference easier felt than shown in pictures, though. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_005.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The new phone also looks identical to the old one. But it&#8217;s made of better materials &#8211; all metal and glass, no plastic on the outside. This is a refreshing change for our heads. <\/p>\n<p>In other respects, the Galaxy S22 is a very close match to the S21. The biggest difference is the camera set up &#8211; the main camera is now pixel-binning 50MP sensor, while the telephoto is no longer a high-megapixel sensor to crop from &#8211; a 10MP 3x zoom, instead of a 64MP regular camera. The ultrawide appears the same 12MP sensor that&#8217;s more than capable but lacks autofocus. It&#8217;s almost a hanging offense at this point. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_002.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We have the Exynos 2200 chipset in our S22 models and we can&#8217;t really say we feel a tangible difference in the smoothness of operation. It is the top-ofthe-line Galaxy phone, with all of its speed and power. <\/p>\n<p> It would be fascinating to know if the battery of the smaller size could match that of the 2021 cell phone in terms endurance. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_003.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The Samsung Galaxy may fly a bit under the radar because it&#8217;s the smallest in Samsung&#8217;s S line of flagships, but it may well be the best compact phone you can get. It simply outclasses the iPhone 13 mini and is a smaller phone than any other flagship around. The closest to the Galaxy S22 is the Xiaomi 12 and 12X, but both are slightly larger and lack a telephoto camera. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_004.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for our Galaxy S22 review, which will arrive by the end of the week! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-image\">https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/22\/03\/samsung-galaxy-s22-ifr\/-952x498w6\/gsmarena_000.jpg<\/div>\n<div class=\"source-link\">https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_galaxy_s22_in_for_review-news-53619.php?rand=119<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Samsung Galaxy S22 in for review It&#8217;s finally here &#8211; the Galaxy S22 has arrived at the office and we can start work on its review.
