The Samsung Galaxy S22+ has reliable reception, a bright screen, solid cameras, and good battery life. None of this is surprising; Samsung’s Galaxy phones are the default choices for most Android users in the US and certainly for existing Samsung device owners who want to upgrade. The S22+ is the middle child of the S22 lineup—it doesn’t have an S Pen like the Galaxy S22 Ultra, and it isn’t as compact as the S22. In other years, that could make it forgettable, but this time around, the S22+ strikes the best balance among performance, value, and portability. At the high end of the Android phone market in the US, the S22+ competes only with the Google Pixel 6 Pro ($899). Google’s flagship is more affordable and has better cameras, but the S22+ offers a stronger processor and cellular radio, earning it our Editors’ Choice award.
Samsung Galaxy S22+
PROS

BOTTOM LINE
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ blends top-notch connectivity and performance with the best mix of features and size for the price, making it the flagship Android phone to beat.
