WIRED These Android phones are the crème de la crème. Pretty great and versatile cameras. Speedy performance, and solid battery life. TIRED The Ultra might just be too big. Camera app and features are increasingly getting way too bloated and complicated.
The Pixel and iPhone photos are generally a bit sharper with more natural tones—and often better high dynamic range—but Samsung holds its own. Its Night mode produced images with far less grain, and its Portrait mode is also significantly better than before.
I could go on and on about the minute details about the cameras, but I'll spare you. There's just one last thing I want to mention. Samsung has stuffed in so many camera features that its camera app is turning into a bloated, confusing mess. For example, the new Adaptive Pixel feature Samsung is touting everywhere isn't even enabled by default. It supposedly lets you take advantage of those high-megapixel-count cameras, but it will work only when you enter 108- or 50-megapixel mode. And even then it will work only in specific lighting conditions, so it's really hard to test.
And if you want to take RAW photos with some of Samsung's image processing thrown in there, you need to use a completely different Expert RAW app from the Galaxy Store.
There's a lot of choice and control here, but Samsung just needs to figure out a better way to present it all that makes it easier to use.Of the three Galaxy S22 phones, you should probably buy the standard S22. It offers the most features for the least money, and its smaller size makes it the easiest to handle. If you don't care for the 10X zoom camera or the S Pen but want the larger screen, then there's a place for the S22+.
