This is exactly the comparison I was surprised so many people didn't do, thanks for doing it. I keep seeing S22+ vs S22, or S22+ vs Ultra, or S21fe vs Pixel 6, but if you want to stay with a Samsung and that larger screen size, I was curious about how these stacked up against each other. The S22 is too small and battery is too weak for my taste, so these were the two I cared about. Glass back means nothing to me since every phone I have has a case on the back.

I ended up buying a S22+, but was very close to getting the S21FE. The only reason I didn't was because by turning in my S20FE, I was able to get the phone covered by bill credits over three years with Verizon and was able to get the 256GB version. I was thinking of keeping this for about three years anyways. I know the modern in this phone was going to be better than the one I currently had on my S20FE and thought it would be better than the one on the S21FE. I actually probably would have just picked the regular S22, but I thought the 3700mah battery was just going to be terrible. Probably wouldn't have bothered me if it was 4000mah battery. I did prefer the slight smaller size and weight of the S21FE vs S22+ and while nice looking, I think a glass back on a phone is a stupid idea with regards to durability. I think the screen on the S22+ is probably the best screen I've ever had on a phone. I'm ok with it not being a quadHD screen. For the most part I did like my S20FE as I do think phones should have microSD slots and I greatly prefer flat screens to the curved screens which are terrible if you need to touch at the curve. My S20FE had the ghost touch issue, so that's why I wanted to upgrade from that phone. No ghost touches so far on this phone. If I didn't have a phone to trade in, the Samsung S21FE would have been my choice of phone to get.

[@MsCDante]

I'm only confused about the screen and why they made it almost a thousand dollars with a 1080p screen. Weird. Crazy how the next release might have some of the stuff we complained about not having lol. That's how they sell their devices. Take everything away then bring it back later. But im not complaining too much since I'm coming the s9 plus. Only thing I miss is the ppi density and heart monitor. Totally grateful though.

Thank you for addressing the S22 plus missing the quad screen!!! I'm a hurting fan girl. I have a theory that Samsung did this dileberately to push interest to their flip and fold line, but this hasn't worked for me. The first priority is to meet customer expectation. I'm now looking at other brands trying to find an S22 plus which is impossible. Terrible marketing decision, and they're still not getting it! S23 I hear will be similar to S22. I'm typing this on the most beautiful phone ever made - the S10 plus. Is anyone else feeling this heartache?

I totally agree. I think the S22+ needed at minimum : the LTPO (10hz min refresh) and the better camera array to at least line up with Apple's offering.

@@TechOdyssey Thank you for the suggestion. Even before I saw it, I started researching some other phones that might work. I ended up getting the Pixel 6 Pro. Its video capture and screen brightness seem inferior, but the rest of the phone seems to be better than the Plus.

[@chrisi621]

Would you buy the s21fe over the pixel 6? right now (not sure for how long) at Best Buy s21fe is $499. Pixel 6 is $549. Can either phone be felt vibrating in your pocket? How bad is the bloatware on s21fe? Because the pixel 6 basically has no bloatware. correct?

[@MatthewMoscotto]

I would go for a pixel 6 in your situation. If you're looking at S21, then go for the flagship series S21 which I think comes in between $500-$600 now.

[@BrianHonde]

Which would be good now, the S21 Plus or the S21 FE?

[@R3d_Wolf1983]

Hi, what is your opinion, if the price difference would be only of about 100 euro between S21 FE and S22+, which one would you choose ?

[@junichinomura4810]

Techodssey what about the Samsung galaxy s22 plus vs google pixel 6 both in 256GB storage? It is still the Google pixel 6 256GB model is more recommended?

[@andrewbarash4708]

I got s22 plus because of battery and i got for 624 through trade in deal. S21fe has the worst battery life where the s22 plus is decent

[@TechOdyssey]

Nice!

[@michaelpresidente778]

So near yet so far ... my old S10 has crappy battery life but why pay big $$$? I still have a deal to buy S22 Ultra but I can't just the outlay. A power pack continues to be the best solution ..

[@yyttrrgg2nd]

the s21 fe is getting cheaper where I am so im definitely getting that now, just wish the galaxy buds live was still free with it. I can only get the exynos version here sadly but will definitely go for it

[@cynthiareynolds3432]

I bought the S21 FE last June. I wasn't even thinking warranty until they mentioned it when I called Samsung. Because overnight the phone will not charge. So, I can send it to Samsung & get a new battery, if that's the problem or I can turn it in & get an S22. I think they have a scam going. I want to know about the battery in the S22. But now you know about the S21 FE.

[@sistersmagic9998]

I have a mixed feeling whether to buy One plus Nord 200 or Samsung S22. A little help here pl.

[@TechOdyssey]

That’s a big difference in price and capabilities. Why are you choosing between a flagship caliber device and a budget device?

[@etothej]

IDK. They are both too small for me. I like the 6.9" screen on my Note 20 Ultra.

[@teodortodorov6974]

I have galaxy a30s and it's still good phone for me, excluding the fact that the latest security update is from November 2021 and the battery drains quicker than when ot was new

[@teodortodorov6974]

I don't notice any lags, but the phone freezes sometimes, which forced reboot can be helpful

In my country i got my s21 Fe (256Gb storage and 8Gb ram) for 499€

[@reggievanness]

Very informative i got the s22+ for trade in for my S20+ it really was hard to part with and i kinda miss it truthfully! I really wish i would have held off for the s23+ my S22+ however seems to be pretty good battery life does get me through a day of use at work so it's about average! The question is if I had it to do over again you might have the answer judging by my comments!

[@TheOzarksPicker]

As I text this I am looking at either of these phones as options for me. The FE is $12 a month and the plus is $14 a month. Is there any advantage to the plus for me to spend two more dollars a month for it?

[@TinfoilHatGirl]

Would a price of 550€/$ for the 256gb version plus extras like buds and such be appropriate ? For the exynos version though (we only get exynos in Europe)? Or should I still better look into another phone? I don't know how much of an impact the exynos issue really makes. Any thoughts appreciated.

[@firstgoinpostal]

Just got an S21FE. The fing cameras aren't even close to the camera setup on the LG Velvet that it replaced. It's not as good as the Moto G style camera I use for my second line.

[@rrich52806]

Thanks, I got FE from TMobile . Traded in 10A. So cast me 300. Then I add case a screen protector for mo $. Great video

[@DribbleBasSquatch]

I chose the S22 Plus. I found a good deal on eBay for €700. That just suits me a lot better than the FE

[@Wayman_Simmang]

The bats in these phones last all day easily unless you use it every minute of the day. And if that's the case you probably need to put your phone down really and do something else in life

How about s20fe 5g, still good now?

[@ErmIDK19]

strangely might of been a 1 take word instead , maybe ?. i wanted to get an s22 and decided if i was going to get one it would have to be the pro , plus whatever it is , but then after doing a bit of home work decided the pixel 6 pro was the one for me . mainly due to the price of the samsung phone seen as it was the mid range option i couldn't justify it

I call the Samsung Galaxy S21FE the mid range flagship like ship, the price range comes in at mid range but the performance is more on the flagship level on the flagship level, before before having the S22 ultra I've only had 2 other notes Siri's phones in my life and I wasn't sure if I would ever return back to the note Siri's style phones . Needless to say I'm glad I did the size of the S22 ultra it's performance and the screen and battery really make it and all A great device

[@DefStatic]

I'm not saying he is exactly wrong, but other than how much longer something is going to be supported, by this ideology the S20 FE is a better deal than both. Seriously... look at the differences between the S20 FE, S21 FE, and S22 Plus. We are talking minor differences in the long run. The only reason I snagged a S22 Plus was the deal ATT has. I had an old S4 laying around they basically gave me $800 for.

[@chicitizen]

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S22 because apparently Samsung is having problems distributing Samsung GS20 FE replacement screens. My GS20 FE is still going strong. I like that Samsung made the GS22 a smaller phone, I'm tired of these phones getting bigger. I don't understand this trend of Samsung making devices with 1080p panels, after years of 1440p screens on previous models. GREED perhaps.

[@ive_beenthere_2638]

That crossed my mind as well. I wonder why they chose to go backwards.

[@ahmadzahoor1180]

samsung went down in charging speed too...

[@Armis71]

By going to 1080, the screen can go to 120hz. 60hz vs 120hz it's a huge differencto some people!

Just brought S21FE, It makes good photos but 12Mpx is clearly not enough when looking on PC or larger screen. Will return it and buy S22 plus/ultra because memories are priceless.

Yeah. When you blow stuff up on a larger screen the more megapixels the better.

If they would've made the Ultra with a flat screen; i would've gotten it instead. Instead ended up getting the S22+. It's a very nice phone.

S21 fe benchmark are so throttled that phone is way overpriced u can literally get a real s21 for 3-400 there’s no point of the s21fe and yes the s22 and s22 plus have the same camera but again we’re going into this area where there’s already a class action lawsuit on throttling apps really the simple answer is just Samsung is just trash iphone has better vaule sad how google in all its glory can’t come out with a decent phone all the Motorola phones don’t even support any carriers in the us

[@contenez7097]

The only reason I’m ok with paying 750 for my s22 in total after trade in cost 379 plus 425 trade in vaule of s20 that I paid 400 for is because I can get 500 bring your own device credits but yeh mostly it’s just I have the latest even if it’s not that great

Btw in starting to wonder how the iPhone 11 camera stacks up against the e s22 u can literally get the 11 for free he’ll u can even get the iPhone 12 for free if ur willing to live with 36 month contract u can even get the iPhone 13 mini for 5 dollars on 36 or legitimately just get the 13 mini for 400 Samsung doesn’t even have store locations bad customer service

[@ive_beenthere_2638]

13 pro Max.

[@TheHpsauce37]

I think when reviewing these phones you should look at it from the perspective that most people who get these phones will be doing so on contract and not spending the money out right. That being the case when we are only talking about a £5-8 pounds difference per month the choices are a little different. I would personally pay the extra £5 per month and get the phone which is superior in many ways. Is not the same as having to find an extra £300 to buy one over the other

[@TechOdyssey]

People buying the phone can makes those types of decisions. I can’t be going around checking deals and financing specials for every carrier in the U.S., plus internationally, which people may not qualify for or may be for special deals like adding new lines and trade ins. That’s why I talk about the actual MSRP. Sometimes I do mention financing stuff or trade in deals but it’s on a case by case basis or when they first come out. I’m not a salesman. People can easily find out that information through their carrier is they want to know what their monthly payment is.
