If a high-quality camera is a priority for you and you're willing to invest more, the Samsung Galaxy S24+ offers better overall photography and videography features, including a higher selfie quality and more versatile camera system. On the other hand, the Samsung Galaxy S22 is less expensive and is still a capable device with a good camera setup. For those who prefer a larger display, the S24+ has a 6.7-inch screen compared to the S22's 6.1-inch screen. Battery life is also superior on the S24+, lasting significantly longer on a single charge. However, if you're looking to save money, the S22 is a solid choice with a smaller screen and a good enough camera for everyday use. Both phones run on Android, have OLED displays with high refresh rates, and do not have headphone jacks or SD card slots. Keep in mind that the S24+ is the newer model with a more powerful processor and more RAM, which can translate to better performance and longevity. Give Feedback

Lance Ulanoff | February 2023
"The 6.1-inch Galaxy S22 is just what smaller hands ordered, so if you find most modern mobiles too big, this is a great alternative. The Samsung’s chipset will give you loads of power for gaming, video editing or anything else that needs lots of juice."
