The Galaxy S22 flagship series is Samsung’s offering for 2022, and while they all have the same powerful processor and run the same software, the latest Samsung handsets come in different sizes, with different features, and with batteries that last longer on the bigger models.
The S22 family had the company’s most exciting phones around last year, and they’re still great options if you don’t need the absolute newest hardware. Not only do the Galaxy S22 and S22+ provide solid upgrades over their previous models, but the S22 Ultra effectively brought the Note back to life in everything but name.
All three make for some of the best Android phones you can buy today, but unless you’ve got cash burning a hole in your pocket, you can pick only one. If you’re unsure which of the S22 trio is right for you, there are some essential key differences to take into account.
