Should you buy the Samsung Galaxy S22?
The price is inclusive of a Rs 10,000 Amazon discount coupon and a Rs 2,000 instant bank discount (valid for EMI transactions only and Rs 1750 for non-EMI). The price is definitely tempting considering the hardware it packs but the question that needs to be asked is whether you should buy it? Let's find out.
Samsung Galaxy S22 was launched at Rs 72,999 but it is listed at Rs 62,999 on Amazon as a part of the Great Indian Festival sale. There is an additional Rs 10,000 Amazon coupon discount, which brings down the price to Rs 52,999. There is an additional up to Rs 2,000 discount via Credit card. This brings the price down to Rs 50,999.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 will compete against the likes of the OnePlus 10T 5G, iQOO 9T, Moto Edge 30 Pro and others. Most importantly, it takes on the latest Google Pixel 7 which can be purchased for Rs 49,999, including the special launch offer.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 packs in quite a punch. It has an FHD+ AMOLED display that has a 120Hz refresh rate, which should offer smooth animations and user experience. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 SoC, which is capable of handling everything that is thrown at it. The phone runs on Android 12 OS and considering it is from Samsung, we can expect timely updates and there are endless possibilities with regard to customisation.
The flagship features a functional triple camera setup on the back, with a 50MP primary camera, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The only downside of the phone is the smaller 3700mAh battery with just 25W fast charging.
The battery backup is not very good considering the competition pack larger capacity batteries. For those looking for a phone that can last an entire day, this is not a very good option to consider. On the flip side, the Samsung Galaxy S22 is the only compact option in this price segment. But considering Apple sacked the iPhone mini version, we believe the reception is not very great for compact flagships. So if you're okay with average battery life, the Samsung Galaxy S22 is a phone to stand strong among the competition.
