Samsung Galaxy S22 5G, 256GB WHITE - Unlocked

Battery life is terrible. I returned after 1 day. I used my phone 5 mins and it dropped 15%. By 1:30 p.m. my phone was at 10%. I get better battery life with my 2 year old phone so I switched back. I also hate how you can't use a SD card, I take a lot of photos.

Man, I really do want to love this phone. It has an extremely good camera (imo, better than any other except the s22U and now iphone 14 pro max), great performance, screen, and looks great. I loved my S6 from a few years ago so I thought I'd love this as much. But... Battery life is biggest complaint. It's bad right out of the box. I'm scared for how bad it will be after a year or two of usage. I can only make it through the day with low use. My work around is to keep it in power saving mode at all times. That helps a ton and battery is fine, but there are moments I can tell it isn't performing as high because it's in that mode. Second, audio volume doesn't go as high as my old S6 or my wife's iphone XR. And you better believe I've looked and enabled every setting I can find to increase it (including developer options stuff). It's just not as loud. For most people who don't like blasting music, you probably won't care, but this is honestly a huge con for me, especially in my car. I read a thread that they cheeped out on the audio amp or something? That sounds so stupid for a flagship phone if it's true. Of course, no headphone jack sucks and I am here to complain. Everyone said it's no big deal, you'll just get used to bluetooth/dongle, etc. But nah, it sucks. Especially because battery life is low. I've had a few times I had to choose between charging OR listening to music. And no I don't want to have to ALSO carry around a double dongle. And yes, I DO have wireless headphones, but I don't like using them all that much, plus I have to worry about keeping them charged too. I just bought this 4 months ago, but I'm already back on the market looking for something better. Maybe the new Sony 5 IV or Asus phone? Tbh I'm even considering iphone 14 max bc of how incredibly well rounded it is, but I really don't want to switch to IOS (plus, still no headphone jack lol). Hate to give the s22 a 3/5 stars, but that's its reality.

I live 50 mi outside of the closest town. My S7 gave me perfect reception all the way, my S22+ drops calls in 2 different spots. The S22 has terrible battery life and even tho I have tried 2 different cords the charge rate from my car is so slow as to be worthless. I can no longer delete a single message from my texts I have to delete the whole conversation - a feature I HATE!! I am not able to easily transfer photos from the phone to my computer or to text messages .. sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...... The button to activate the screen being on the side now requires me to use my entire hand to activate it instead of a single finger .... There's more but I'm tired of writing ... I honestly would have returned this but the store no longer had the S7 I traded in to give back to me ......

I gave this Samsung S22 2 stars because it was free with my Verizon "upgrade". It is not an upgrade at all. You get what you "pay" for. This phone turns the internet off sporadically, takes forever to connect a website if ever, drops social media, has difficulty loading video and the battery life doesn't last 12 hours.

I've owned many galaxy phones throughout the years, and didn't think to do any research on this phone (Samsung Galaxy S22) having been more than pleased with all of my past galaxy phones. That was my first mistake. I couldn't tell you the last time I owned a phone with such a poor battery life. I had to purchase a car charger so I ensure I have a phone whilst driving lest anything happen on the road, which brings me to my second major issue with this phone. Overheating. I was coming home from a doctor's appt and had my GPS pulled up as I'm not terribly familiar with the area my appt was in. My phone, on the drive home over heated to the point that Google maps was malfunctioning on my device and I ended up getting lost on my drive home, and it was incredibly stressful. I am considering selling this phone to get a new one after having this phone for a whopping 3 weeks. I was going to do a trade in for the S22 ultra, but it looks like the S22 is not eligible. Definitely disappointed with this model.
