Unboxing the Samsung Galaxy S22, one of the most compact smartphones in 2022, plus a camera tour, gaming test with Genshin Impact, and full specs/software run-through. Is the regular Samsung S22 one of the best mini phones around, or should you upgrade to the Plus or Ultra? Full review is hitting in a week!

This One UI 4.1 device boasts the usual blend of your favourite Android 12 features and Sammy's own Galaxy bonuses. That camera hardware has been upgraded vs the S21, with a fresh 50MP primary sensor and new 3x optical zoom lens. It's no match for the Ultra's Space Zoom but you've got a flexible setup that works well at night.

Gaming seems to be stable here on the Samsung Galaxy S22, even on Genshin Impact when the graphics settings are maxed out. That said, this phone can heat up at times. And one of the big questions is: can the battery life once again ruin a perfectly good blower? My review will answer that one, so check back in a week.

In the meantime, have you been using the Samsung S22 as your own full-time smartphone? Let us know your thoughts below!
