Galaxy S22+ Review // Four Months Later

[@DarudeSandworm]

Always find it funny when phone reviewers are like "I have like 30% at the end of the day" but I'm like "uhh..... I barely slide to home on 5%"

[@PrimePixelYoutube]

I know right, I cant let my phone reach 5 percent unless im outside.

[@keye1200]

yeah i dont think they acknowledge the silicon lottery🤷

[@Standgedicht]

That's because there are actually people who don't spend their lives exclusively in front of the screen of a phone and/or use it as a gaming console. I see it on the forums when people post screenshots where they spent 7 or 8 hours in front of the screen out of 14 hours. Plenty of free time...

"Provide Software updates for all regions & devices at the same time" would just mean the latest of all the dates. Since updates the have to be approved by carriers.... Do you think they do this to annoy people?

Use FineLock

For me I think they should integrate some apps from Good Lock into the software itself like the LockStar, but add more functionality like center locking.

There is this speaker problem, when taking the phone to higher altitudes, or after a flight. Something about how the phone is unable to handle the atmospheric pressure or something due to its water resistant: removing the sim tray and inserting it back will do the trick.

[@MuhammadYasir-2526]

Yeah me too faced the same problem, when I went to a hill station. Both the speakers are muffled up, when came down, it got ready automatically.

You still have this issue? I wanted to buy this phone for my dad but he works in high altitude so I dunno, removing and inserting the sim everytime can be exhausting in the long run

[@jbenthere627]

I currently have an S20. One thing that I've done is enable Developer Options. If you open up "Window Animation Scale", "Transition Animation Scale" and "Animator Duration scale", I've set all three to .5x. There are settings from Animation off to Animation 10x. The .5x or Animation Offsetting gives you faster transitions. Although pleasing to look at, I personally don't care about flashy transitions that seem to slow down the phone. Maybe the 120 refresh rate may eliminate the need for the setting changes mentioned above. A word of caution, however, is that I'm not a techno-geek so unless you are, I don't recommend trying out the other Developer Options as you could ultimately mess up the general phone settings.

[@Flash363]

More than likely, everyone watching Sam Beckman YT videos knows about this homie.

[@rajkumarsarkar9589]

Thank you for this tip. Makes my A52s feel a slight bit faster.

[@iAfroTech]

Those animations should be by default at 0.5x

[@qqquatro]

The animation scale developer setting makes it feel "faster" it doesnt make the phone really perform fast

[@solegemini03]

You are confusing faster transitions with smoother transitions. I have experienced both Samsung and oneplus and I can tell you that even the 90hz display of a oneplus would beat the 120hz of samsung in terms of smoothness. This is due to software optimization. Samsung got better with it but still lacking with overall smoothness.

[@mitchellmartin-cooper763]

I honestly think this phone would be way better if Samsung could nail down there shutter lag in the camera app.

[@PrimePixelYoutube]

I think they already fixed that a couple ago

[@Ababb21]

I completely agree with your complaint about fluidity. I upgraded from a Note20Ultra, and I didn't even think that phone was super fluid but this phone has a lot of weird issues at times. It's exactly like you said that there can be almost a delay when doing an input, especially if I can't done anything with my phone for a few minutes. It almost feels like my phone isn't like awake or ready for me to do something and is surprised when I do lol, but once I start doing things it wakes up and works mostly fine. My only other issue is with camera apps. Whether it's the stock app or Snapchat, the phone absolutely chugs for some reason if I do literally any multitasking with a camera open. I have to make sure I clear all my apps before using the camera or it feels like it's crap out. I just did a cache wipe and a factory reset, hopefully that helps.

[@TheMartinOwns]

I'm experiencing the exact same issues that you descriped. Especially with camera apps like Snapchat. How did the cache wipe and factory reset workout for you?

Using the 13 Pro max. But I’ve had the pixel 6 pro and S22 ultra. Both of those are gone and been using the s22+. It’s easily my favorite as a daily because of the build, solid not heavy, flat screen and not insanely big or wide. But I just can’t deal with the bad battery life.
