First off, the Galaxy S22 is tougher than ever. It’s been upgraded with Samsung’s Armor Aluminum frame for better strength, and the days of “Glasstic” seem to be behind us. The phone features Gorilla Glass Victus Plus flat screens on both the front and back. While it doesn’t look that different from last year, the improved quality is immediately noticeable when you touch it. Samsung also slightly adjusted the shape for its Galaxy S22. The phone is slightly flattened on all four sides, making it easier to hold. Some have called it a bit too iPhone-like, but there are still subtle curves with Samsung’s polished side rails.One aspect that Samsung hasn’t changed much from last year is the camera hump. With the contour cut fitting right into the corner of the phone, the designers have done a good dive again. Unfortunately, the two-tone designs are no longer available, but the four basic finishes are just as attractive. The phone measures 6.1 inches diagonally, making it 0.1 inches smaller than the Galaxy S21. It dropped a few pixels, too – from 1,080 x 2,400 to 2,340 – but the pixels-per-inch density went up from 421 to 425. Samsung has also kept the 120Hz variable refresh rate, although not quite as low as originally rumored. All the specs lead to what shouldn’t come as a surprise: the Galaxy S22 has an impressive display. You can find other phones with sharper displays, but you don’t need much more than Full HD+ on a 6.1-inch panel. The color profile of the Samsung Galaxy S22 feels pretty good out of the box. It doesn’t feel oversaturated and should work for most people.
