If the Galaxy S22 Ultra's price tag is too rich for your blood, or its screen simply too large, the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 round out the 2022 flagship smartphone series. As in previous years, screen size is the most significant distinguishing factor, with the Galaxy S22+ toting a 6.6-inch panel and the Galaxy S22 slimming that to a hand-friendly 6.1-inches.

Unlike last year, though, there's a much bigger difference in physical design compared to Samsung's top-tier handset. The S22+ and S22 stick with the Contour Cut aesthetic of 2021's phones, with tough Armor Aluminum frames sandwiched with Gorilla Glass Victus+ for extra drop and scratch resistance.

Inside is the same octa-core processor as in the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which in the US means Qualcomm's Snapdragon. It's paired with 8GB of RAM and either 128GB or 256GB of storage. No S Pen – that's reserved for the most expensive of the series – but you do get the reassurance of up to four generations of Android OS upgrades, Samsung promises.

Midpoint of the line-up, and arguably the best compromise of performance, features, and price of all three phones, the Galaxy S22+ cherry-picks some of the nicer talents of its Ultra big brother. The 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display runs at 1080 x 2340 resolution, supporting 120Hz adaptive refresh (which can clock down to as low as 10Hz for frugality), up to 240Hz touch sampling, and Vision Booster. The latter uses contrast and other tweaks to automatically improve visibility, beyond just bumping up the screen brightness.

The phone itself measures 75.8 x 157.4 x 7.6 mm, and weighs in at 196 grams. There's an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, 5G (mmWave and Sub6), WiFi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.2, along with stereo speakers and Dolby Atmos support. Samsung also found space for Ultra WideBand (UWB) and a 4,500 mAh battery with up to 45W wired and 15W wireless charging capabilities. Like last year, you'll need to supply your own charger, as Samsung isn't including one in the box.
