S22+ is a disappointment
First of all, I'm a big Samsung fan. I have owned 5 Samsung Galaxy phones since the beginning. However, this highly anticipated S22 is a huge disappointment. If you look at the specification, you can see this phone is significantly inferior to the S20 series (the model that was released 2 years ago).
Here are the spec downgrades I noticed (comparing S20+ to S22+):
1. Screen Resolution dropped from QHD (3200 x 1440) to FHD (2340 x 1080)
2. S22/S22+ Ram dropped from 12GB to 8 GB
3. MicroSD slot is removed
4. Pressure testing shows that the new CPU Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's performance is worse than Apple's A13 Chip (The one that's in iPhone 11 - the 2019 model). What's worse, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's performance is also more unstable than last year's Snapdragon 888's performance.
5. The screen has downgraded from curved screen to flat screen
6. Screen size shrunk from S20+'s 6.7" display to S22+'s 6.6" display.
7. No charger included
8. No headset included
I undertand Samsung wants to make more money, and I am very disappointed that's what Samsung decided to do - significantly downgrading it's flagship devices, while still selling at a premium price. No wonder the sales of the Samsung's S series has been down over the past two years. Hope they wake up soon.
