Galaxy S22 Impressions: 1 Real Downgrade!

Sam­sung Galaxy S22 series has a seri­ous design flaw. Its inte­ri­ors get stressed when­ev­er pres­sure, alti­tude & tem­per­a­ture change even a lit­tle bit, espe­cial­ly in cold weath­er or in A/c rooms.

As a result, both the speak­ers start crack­ling & dis­tort­ing when­ev­er we play any mul­ti­me­dia or any noti­fi­ca­tion sound. There could also be oth­er under­ly­ing prob­lems that would occur due to these fre­quent phys­i­cal changes inside the phone.

Is there any­one else here who has faced sim­i­lar issue or maybe some­one from Sam­sung, who could spread some light on their com­pa­ny’s yet anoth­er major blun­der here?

Or maybe some­one who would be will­ing to take action against Sam­sung’s neg­li­gence, or at least call them out for their large-scale botch?

It’s been only a month since I’ve pur­chased my device, and I start­ed notic­ing sound crack­ling & dis­tor­tion in speak­ers with­in the 1st week itself. When I con­tact­ed a Sam­sung exec­u­tive, he advised that this could be a soft­ware bug, so I for­mat­ted it and the issue did­n’t occur for anoth­er week. Lat­er, the prob­lem not only returned, but it start­ed hap­pen­ing more fre­quent­ly (ini­tial­ly, it would only hap­pen once a day and then, it would go away after a reboot or after remov­ing the sim card tray). The Sam­sung exec­u­tives are now sug­gest­ing that I should leave my month-old flag­ship phone with them for a few days or weeks, and they would return it to me after open­ing it and replac­ing some com­po­nents. I mean, obvi­ous­ly, that’s what a user should expect after buy­ing a flag­ship device in 2022 from a Brand like Sam­sung, isn’t it?

I have been research­ing this prob­lem on the inter­net, and there are thou­sands of real user reviews & com­plaints regard­ing this issue across the globe. Still, unfor­tu­nate­ly, Sam­sung has not yet acknowl­edged this flaw, as this would be a huge blow­back to their brand’s image after the bat­tery explo­sion embar­rass­ment. Hon­est­ly, it’s an utter dis­ap­point­ment when you pur­chase a flag­ship phone, worth INR 1 Lac/ USD800, and there has been such a major fail­ure in its R&D and pre-release tech­ni­cal testing.

This is my 2nd Galaxy device ever, and in my per­son­al expe­ri­ence, Sam­sung devices in 2022 con­tin­ue to be unpol­ished beta ver­sions of some ran­dom Chi­nese phone brand. Even com­pa­nies like LG, Huawei, Poc­co, Xiao­mi, etc. have done bet­ter home­work before sell­ing a phone under their “flag­ship” ban­ners. And at this point, com­par­ing Sam­sung with Apple or One­Plus would be unfor­tu­nate at best.

Small­est 1’s r nev­er that good only plus n Ultra is much better

So it seems that its not much of an upgrade from the s21😒

Fun­ny how the S8+ has a bet­ter screen and res­o­lu­tion than the new S22+

The only prob­lem with the S22 is the bat­tery life ☹️. Sam­sung needs to improve on this. Idk why but when Apple released iPhone 12 the bat­tery wasn’t great then they improved it on the 13 and Sam­sung is gonna do the same this year with S23. Feels like a copy from Apple.

Review S23 quick. I am think­ing of buy­ing that phone.

Bat­tery is weak

What col­or is that blue or green?

S22: “It feels kind of com­pact. I’m doing air quotes, this clear­ly isn’t a small phone“
Zen­fone 9: The New Com­pact King!

Bruh they’re the same size!

Replac­ing S10 with it…😊
