Upgrades “worth the money” on Galaxy S22 compared to previous generations-Hi-tech Fashion

This year, the Galaxy S22 generation has a new design and improved camera clusters, so are they worth upgrading from the previous Galaxy S generation?

Each year, Samsung both refresh their Galaxy S line. And fans always evaluate how they have improved compared to the “predecessor” version. Let’s go into the detailed generation comparison Galaxy S22 new with previous Galaxy S models.

Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S21

The biggest difference between the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S21 is in the camera. Samsung has upgraded the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ with a 50-megapixel sensor and better low-light photography. While the new camera is a notable step up from the Galaxy S21’s 12-megapixel sensor, it’s still not powerful enough to upgrade.

On the other hand, both the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ have smaller batteries than the Galaxy S21 and Galaxy S21+. Samsung’s new phone also has a slightly smaller screen than its predecessor. The Galaxy S22 has a 6.1-inch screen – smaller than the 6.2-inch screen of the Galaxy S21, while the Galaxy S22+ has a 6.6-inch screen instead of the 6.7-inch screen of the Galaxy S21+. In return, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ also have a new design with a metal frame and glass that looks more elegant than the interface of the Galaxy S21.

In addition, the Galaxy S22 series runs on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor – newer than the Galaxy S21, although the performance has not changed much. And yet, the Galaxy S22+ has 45-watt fast charging while the Galaxy S21 series only supports 25-watt fast charging.

Conclusion: If you have a Galaxy S21, you don’t need to upgrade yet.

Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S20

The Galaxy S20 has a lot in common with the Galaxy S21, so users don’t need to upgrade to the Galaxy S22 yet. Again, the biggest benefits to the upgrade are the improved 50-megapixel main camera, sleek design, and newer processor.

The camera of the Galaxy S20 is very similar to that of the Galaxy S21. Both phones have a 12-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 64-megapixel telephoto lens.

Like the Galaxy S21, the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy S20+ pair have slightly larger screens than the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+. But more importantly, the Galaxy S20 series has a microSD card slot that supports expansion up to 1TB (Galaxy S22 doesn’t have one). In addition, the Galaxy S22 also has a smaller battery than the Galaxy S20 (Galaxy S+ models have the same battery capacity).

Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S10

The Galaxy S10 is over 3 years old, still has modern features, but it’s time to upgrade. The reason is that Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ do not support 5G. And these phones may not get new software features for the foreseeable future.

Galaxy S10.

After 3 years, the gap between Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S22 is quite large. In addition to running on a processor that is now about 3 years old, the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10+ lack the camera improvements of the Galaxy S22. The main lens of the Galaxy S10 has only a 12-megapixel sensor, far behind the 50-megapixel of the Galaxy S22, which only supports 10x digital zoom and 2x optical zoom. On the other hand, the Galaxy S22 has 30x digital zoom and 3x optical zoom.

The Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S10 both have 6.1-inch screens, but the size of the Galaxy S22 is smaller because of its thinner bezels. Upgrading to the Galaxy S22+ from the Galaxy S10+ will give users a 6.6-inch screen larger than the 6.4-inch screen with a similar overall size.

The Galaxy S10 pair also has a smaller battery than the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+, but supports memory expansion via micro SD card (up to 512GB) and has a headphone jack.

Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S9

Galaxy S9 owners will have a lot to offer if they upgrade to the Galaxy S22. The four-year-old phone lacks modern features like multi-camera, 5G, and in-display fingerprint scanner. But as was the case with the Galaxy S10, one of the biggest reasons to upgrade is to make sure the phone continues to receive Android updates for years to come.

Galaxy S9.

One of the first differences when upgrading from Galaxy S9 to Galaxy S22 is the larger screen. Galaxy S9 has only 5.8 inch screen while Galaxy S22 has 6.1 inch screen. The Galaxy S9+ is similar, with a 6.2-inch screen – much smaller than the 6.6-inch screen of the Galaxy S22+. Neither of the older Samsung phones support high refresh rates.

Samsung has also made a lot of progress in its photography technology over the past 4 years. The standard Galaxy S9 has only one 12-megapixel camera/Galaxy S9+ has only two 12-megapixel cameras. On the other hand, the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ both have three lenses for wide-angle, zoom, and super-wide-angle photography. Galaxy S9 can only zoom 8x digital while Galaxy S22 can zoom 3x optical and zoom 30x digital.

Other perks you’ll get with the Galaxy S22 include twice the standard memory, an in-display fingerprint scanner instead of the one on the back of the Galaxy S9, and a much newer and faster processor. Since Samsung’s three-year software update policy doesn’t apply to the Galaxy S9, users will miss out on the latest Android features.

Conclusion: If you have a Galaxy S9, it’s time for users to upgrade to Galaxy S22.
