Sorry but I can't help myself just so you know that's not how you cut fish properly you're supposed to do slicing not sawing you're supposed to place the part of the blade that's closest to the handle and then draw back then lift and do it again if he didn't cut all the way through

[@gamelaze4539]

After a few times doing it you'll get used to it and slice right through all the fish in less than a quarter of the time that it actually took you in this video and you'll get nice clean cuts without parts of the fish flaking off or just generally falling apart

[@TechPhD]

I've come to realize that most Samsung devices actually have pretty great SOT if you spend most of the day actively using it. The battery drain on standby and especially those background processes need to be checked

[@user-xw4mu6nz4t]

Hey, to those thinking of buying the phone, please note: The camera on all phones eat up a lot of battery and this is no different. If you're planning on taking pictures every day, then you should buy the S22 Ultra or to be honest (as a Samsung fan) the iPhone 13 Pro Max because not only do they have the best cameras on the camera but also very good batteries. I'd argue Samsung has a better camera but the iPhone has a (much) better battery. If you're like me and don't take pictures 24/7, this should be fine. Like this is the phone for people without specific needs. So, just keep that in mind when watching this video. *Also there's a super stabilisation mode - that extremely stable recording you saw while he was running late to class wasn't even the most stable the phone can record in (but tbh it's quite unnatural).

[@Gadgetsu]

Yup, I agree alot with what you said but even without using cameras, the phone battery at most can get 4hrs of SOT only using social media for me and I find that unacceptable! And yaaa, I did forget to switch on super stabilization but last time I tested it in my camera comparison, it kept glitching out and didn't work well for me! Thanks for watching and the detailed comment! 😁

[@shahkiro1346]

I would love to buy the ultra version but this compact version of S22 is VERY HARD TO RESIST, I am a compact phone fan because it is comfortable with my hand grib.. It is okay if it doesn't have any additional features as S22 ultra but the battery is supposed to be enough through out a full day activity same as iphone 13 and pro version which doesn't have bigger battery... Yeah, I love everything about this phone but the battery is very huge disappointment 😔😞

[@user-xw4mu6nz4t]

@@shahkiro1346 I bought the phone couple days after I commented and received the phone yesterday. So far? It's a good phone. However, if you have the money and depending on how you use your phones I'd suggest the ultra.

[@imtheguy116]

i think it's expected that the baattery on the s22 is not that long. came from the s10+ and to be honest the s10+ battery is a little bit longer than the s22 since it has a bigger battery capacity. but it is still good since the s22 has a major upgrade on most of its features.

[@rachellight1186]

I find that one of the culprit that tends to overheat your phone and is the main cause of battery drain is the news section part of your homescreen. Switching that off makes a huge difference. Plus using dark mode and going through each app in your app settings and turning off their ability run in the background (using up data)will help expand battery usage even further.

[@remy.a._]

How do i turn off the news section?

[@Jose_Jimenez]

I take that back, Iphone users are ecstatic to see the same phone year after year. Simple phones for simple minds.

[@CandyGirl44]

I traded my Note 9 in for the S22+, and am extremely happy with it so far. It feels much more comfortable in hand, and I don't feel the weight as it's so balanced. And loving the flat screen. The battery has improved immensely compared to the first two weeks. Samsung has schnaaied us with no charger, seeing they only provide a USB C x 2 cable, so I had to buy a new charger. I'm hoping this phone will last the next 4 or 5 years, and the battery will not let me down, until the Flip has sorted out all its issues.

My experience has been a bit different vs yours. First I used smart switch and the battery life was awful specially when idle. Then I did a clean install and it got better but there was a bug where phone would not go to deep sleep in wifi. Last update fixed it and not I get around 5h sot and 14h standby so I get through the Day. Camera, games, email, teams and browsing use. So for me its now good enough but its not that consistent. Suddenly you can have one Day with just 3h sot. So at best it has been equal to iphone mini but not nearly as consistent. Mine is the exynos model. Great review!

[@ashyouknow7420]

S22 is a great phone but the battery life is really disappointing especially since it is a flagship phone. From what I have seen the battery is bad mainly because Qualcomm is using Samsung's fabrication process which is known to have issues which results in more heat and worse efficiency despite being on a 4nm node and that's why Samsung's own Exynos processors normally have not so good efficiency too though Qualcomm is now using TSMC's fabrication process
