Our take on the SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 5G (128GB, 8GB) 6.1" Fully Unlocked for Global S901U1

The Galaxy S22 is Samsung's 2022 compact flagship: a 6.1-inch FHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip, 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Its triple rear camera pairs a 50MP main sensor with a 3x optical telephoto and an ultrawide, and the 3700mAh battery supports wireless charging and Wireless PowerShare. It suits shoppers who want a small, light Android phone with flagship cameras and full carrier flexibility. Against newer rivals it gives up battery life and sustained performance, and there is no microSD slot or charger in the box.

Questions and answers

Is the Galaxy S22 still worth buying?
It remains a strong pick if you want a small phone with a real 3x zoom and wireless charging. Expect to charge more often than with newer flagships, and skip it if you need a microSD slot.
How does it compare with the S22+ or S22 Ultra?
The S22+ has a larger screen and battery; the Ultra adds a bigger display, an S Pen and a 108MP main camera. The base S22 is the most pocketable and the least expensive of the three.
Will it work with my carrier?
It is a fully unlocked US model with broad LTE and 5G band support, including Sub-6 and mmWave. It works with most GSM and CDMA carriers such as T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon.
How is the battery life?
Light users get through a day, but heavy use drains the 3700mAh battery quickly. Fast wired charging and wireless charging help top it up.
Does it have a microSD slot or a charger in the box?
No. Storage is fixed at 128GB, and the box does not include a charging brick, so you need your own USB-C charger.
What is in the box?
The phone, a USB-C cable and documentation. No wall charger or earphones are included.
