Camera
This is what the Samsung Galaxy S22 is all about. The triple lens camera packs a main 50MP lens with a f/1.8 aperture, backed up by a 10MP ultrawide lens with f/2.4 and a 12MP telephoto lens with f/2.2.
The main 50MP snapper is a huge update on the Galaxy S21, its larger sensor meaning even more powerful low light performance

The 128GB and 256GB storage options offer more than enough space for all but the most app and gaming obsessed punters.
The screen keeps the excellent 120Hz refresh rate of the Galaxy S21, meaning it looks the part, whether streaming video, playing games or simply browsing the web,
Is the Samsung Galaxy S22 worth buying in 2024?
The Samsung Galaxy S22 goes toe to toe with Apple’s iPhone 13 and is a great alternative.
Deals are generally more affordable, while the spec sheet is comparable too. It all comes down to which brand you prefer.
If you recently got a Samsung Galaxy S21, then you may wish to wait. If not, the Galaxy S22 represents great value and a major upgrade on most smartphones, especially as it has Android 12 available out of the box.
What's the difference between the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21?
The key changes here are with the camera and the processor. The Galaxy S22 has seen both upgraded significantly.
However, even the most hardcore of smartphone fans will struggle to find much difference between the pair when side by side. However, with Android 12, more RAM and greater processor speed, the S22 is clearly the better device.
