Samsung Galaxy S22
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy S22?
The Galaxy S22 impresses with its compact size, low weight, great design and good display. But if you use your smartphone intensively all day, the battery barely gets you through the day. For Jen, that makes it a no-go as a daily driver.
Pros
- Compact and light, easy to use one-handed (167 g)
- Flat display and angular body with a high-end look
- Sharp display with adaptive 120 Hz
- Good performance without the problems of the Galaxy S22 Ultra
- Many years of updates
Cons
- Battery barely lasts the day with intensive use
- Speakers are not particularly good
- Camera is good, but not outstanding

Samsung Galaxy S23
What does Jen say about the Samsung Galaxy S23?
After the first 36 hours, Jen sees the Galaxy S23 as a mini flagship: handy, fast, with a good camera and a surprisingly strong battery. The price rose from €899 for the S22 to €949, which she happily pays for the performance.
Pros
- Compact and, at 168 g, a real pleasure to hold
- Feels premium thanks to the matte glass back and aluminum frame
- Bright 120 Hz display with up to 1,700 nits
- Strong camera, even 8K at 30 fps runs smoothly
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, fast face recognition and a reliable fingerprint scanner
- Almost 8 hours of screen-on time
Cons
- Dust quickly collects between the camera lenses
- Speakers could be a bit better
- Price rises to an RRP of €949 compared with €899 for the S22
