Like the rest of the S22 line, the Galaxy S22 is running Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the US, or Samsung’s own Exynos chip in the UK and elsewhere,) and both are backed by 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. The Galaxy S22 can also shoot 8K, but the screen stuttered while shooting it so we’re not ready to say this is an 8K-winner. The adaptive screen-refresh technology does a nice job of keeping everything from fast scrolls to action games looking smooth, and you’ll have no trouble shooting and editing 4K, 30fps video. The cameras should satisfy most average mobile photography users, and the image quality is excellent. It's a handset that will quickly become a trusted companion. However, placed side-by size with an iPhone 14, the dimensions are similar – and the resemblance is uncanny.
Its 6.1-inch screen can feel cramped if you’re coming from virtually any similarly-priced Android phone from OnePlus and Xiaomi. The Samsung Galaxy S22 is the kind of phone you get if your tastes are upscale but your budget is a bit downrange.
