Samsung – Galaxy S22+ 128GB (Unlocked) – Green

Good AND especially at price I paid, iseems BestBuy isn’t a “hype” but often, in.fact, best fr Smartphones, I won’t comment on other electronics/or appliances/etc but for Smartphones for years I noticed how it beats competition INCLUDING offers fm my/own carrier (Verizon) & mom’s (AT&T) if you combine BestBuy promos (they’re cyclical, if you wait enough you catch a deal like this S22+ I got for -$200 drop, then it went up) + BestBuy’s rewards Certificates whch I accumulated much ($230+).
I got S22+ & NOT S22.Ultra which (Ultra) planned to get originally, b/c after extensive thinking having a heavy/bulky Ultra phone defies purpose as it duplicates my ultra.portable laptop/tablet, Iam an engineer & a whopping 4 computers are at my disposal at home & mobile, so a phone-tablet would be a neither good phone (heavy/large) nor good tablet (small)
ALSO, Radiation/SAR spec fr Ultra is significantly higher than S22+’s dueto to obvious antenna design/phys.body.
ALSO, beware I like (Korean) Samsung’s attention to Human/User’s HEALTH – Radiation/SAR specs for their devices consistently ranked low (i.e best) vs Chinese makes & vs (WORST !) Apple’s iPhone, as engineers we’re well-aware that Apple in chasing for “niceties” & data device, doesn’t realize they hurt the primary function we get phones for – radio communication (voice/data) i.e their RF side of iPhone is bad…. vs Samsung & worse yet vs Motorola. Motorola usedto be best RF radios in their phones, my old Moto would make a voice call on FireIsland NY years ago when towers were far in mainland & scarce, whereas folks around me failed all calls from their American iPhonese & Chinese makes, I come from Motorola “fanbiy” background, & MotoDroid Maxx had GIGANTICALLY long.lasting battery (in.fact one of the reasons I strived to get it so intensely I even quit previous carrier (AT&T) to switch to Verizon which had it as an exclusive many years ago, but then Moto sold to Lenovo & that was end for me, th my ancient MotoDroid Maxx circa 2013 still works perfect voice-wise/texts (software e.g Web became somewhat crippled), and so I switched to Samsung – excellent specs, e.g display, processor, etc & similar (to Motorola) long battery in S22+ (but beware, S22.Ultra’s battery lasts alittle less), good RF/radio/antenna section -> reliable voice/data, Radiation is LESS (i.e. better) thn my old/previous Motorola’s & hugely less than iPhone & all Chinese makes, Etc,etc I recommend it (S22+ or Ultra), & thus I never did/& probably won’t do American iPhone & never Chinese. Only thing I wish S22+ had body shape more “squarish” like S22.Ultra & older S21/20 Ultra.Note’s (what was “Note” is now called Sxx “Ultra” w/pen)
In general, Samsung Galaxies in mid.range (“+”) & top (“Ultra”) versions are Technically well-executed, as phone (voice), data, & computing (micro.tablet) + Human Health e.g Radiation/SAR specs ar good vs competition; except one thing in recent years tho annoys me is while all I care for is a Phone voice + data, which’s what these devices were created for (remember shoes for walking, car for driving… phones for phoning) but over the years Camera beacme obsession for certain “kids” – I doNOT care for extremely good camaras in ANY phone, b/c once you go over 20Mpx resolution & decent optical zoom (digital zoom is FAKE) it becomes of dubious benefit – 99.99% of us are buying these devices as Communicator, NOT as “professional photographers”, it’ll NEVER match pro PhotoCameras ANYWAY regardless of “impressive” pixel counts or a barrage of lenses, dueto sheer physical impossibility to fit pro extensible Lenses in a thin device like smartphone, for that (professional) you’d need a Sony/Nikon/Canon/Panasonic/Kodak DEDICATED camera, NOT a Smartphone, OBVIOUSLY (!!) but inexplicably phones manufacturer’s are increasingly wasting efforts & burdening them w/this huge baggage, 2, 3, 4, 5…. lenses & mostly unusable resolutions that makesense only if you enlarge a photo to giant or say 2-storey building height all this on COMMUNICATOR devices ?, like we’re dying to make world-class photos & yet lose phone calls & get irradiated by excess RF into our brains (ref to iPhone Max), so other than manufacturer’s increasing obsession/annoyance of camera cornucopia, these ar fantatsic devices & S22+/(or Ultra, I planned originally) is a decent transition for me from Motorola to Samsung
P.S a) The price at BestBuy & after a -$200 promo & Rewards Certificates was such that several people asked “how did you “tricked” so cheaply ? BestBuy is best for these devices, I won’t comment abt other stuff…
b) Before buying online/BestBuy, went to several phys.stores (incl BB) & played w/S22.Ultra (S21.Ultra, S20.Note.Ultra in past years) in person/physically focusing on abiity to control display brightness/contrast to minimal for dark.rooms (e.g IT rooms at my design shop/work)/nigth usage & someone w/good eyes whch I happen to own, ability to set perfect Dark/HighContrast modes & custom Black themes, ability to filter.off harmful Blue light emitted by xLED incl OLED & LED-backlit LCD’s, etc, Etc,etc – ALL these ar available & work perfectly in Samsung S21/22+ & Ultra settings, the comfort/eahlth of display I was able to set in phys.stores was stunning, I immediately went online & ordered fm BestBuy The other devices in stores weren’t as good, some even cause headache if you stare into them for hours & hours whole day…. whichI admit happens here…
P.P.S. No spell.check – tiny keyboard at 4AM (night) in darkness/tired/typing ultra.fast

One of the best android phones! If you are not into other eco systems you can switch to S22+ easily. Beautiful design, gorgeous screen! Fast charging is huge pros!

Like the phone and also the promotional that where being run
