Alex 21 May 2022 08:52 I came from an S10 Plus to the S22 Plus so to me the difference between the two is huge and overall im really happy with the S22 Plus. However my parents both recently got the S20 FE and after playing around with it I do wonder why I'm paying so much more as the difference between them is marginal for the average consumer. +1 Reply
Ivan 30 April 2022 21:38 The S22 + has no SD card no head jack no dual Slot no basic 8 GBs ram no 6G either...but a hefty price tag. I'll pass! Seams that they're giving us less for more $$$. +16 Reply
Dmt 01 April 2022 05:38 I upgraded from S20FE to S22+ and while S22+ cameras are marginally better I don't notice any other differences at all. I surely do notice the lack of an sd slot though! Also for some reason battery life seems to be even worse than on my 2-year-old S20FE. Unless you get a really sweet deal don't even bother upgrading. +8 Reply
Joanne Wolf Tail 08 March 2022 16:06 I currently have &, use Samsung galaxy s20 fe 5g. And I see no reason to change &, waste my money for the s22 for only an 1" bigger screen? Also there are more drawbacks to it than reasons to get it as well. I have been reading many many reviews about it &, also watching plenty of videos that say "don't get it there are more cons than pros to prove it". It's going to become like the s21 in the fact that they won't be able to literally give them away. +26 Reply Name Message Send Send
