LATEST GALAXY S22+ NEWS
Introduction
The Galaxy S22+ sits in the middle of the entry-level Galaxy S22 and the top-of-the-line Galaxy S22 Ultra. It strikes a delicate balance in the lineup, offering just enough to make it start out from the base model but not overshadow its Ultra sibling.
It's a great option for customers who appreciate the additional functionality that the Galaxy S22+ offers and aren't all that willing to spend top dollar for the high-end model. After all, the Galaxy S22+ is a great flagship in its own right.
Design
Samsung hasn't made any significant changes to the design. The Galaxy S22+ looks quite similar to its predecessor and that's not exactly a bad thing. The device looks and feels quite premium thanks to its metal and glass build.
The physical buttons are all on the right side of the frame. There's also a USB-C port at the bottom. Don't search for the headphone jack and microSD card slot but both are missing from the Galaxy S22+.
