As mentioned earlier, I've had mine for a few days now. I've been through every menu, deleting unwanted pre-installed apps, turning off notifications and background data use, and setting it up the way I like it. None of the cons in my list below are a deal breaker, though. I'm really happy with it.

Pros:
Photos are really good!
Calls are clear and not garbled (my S7 was getting horrible for calls)
It's a bright screen even changed to dark mode
Oh and it's fast! I'm using it as a "hot spot" for laptop since we don't get reliable internet service where I live.
The transfer of data was seamless. Download the transfer app on your old phone and set them side by side, and after a bit all is transferred.

Cons:
I don't like the placement of the camera lenses. They stick out from the back and the edge is sharp. The case I ordered case should be here today and should fix that.
The placement of the volume up/down and the on/off button are too close. But I'm sure I'll get used to it.
I hate apps that I can't disable or un-install.
USB-C cable. I'm used to Kindle, tablet and phone using the same cord.

That just means it's time for a new tablet and Kindle! 🤣 I have the Note20 still, but all 2 of my devices use the same charger type!

My only concern would be the lack of an SD card. Does the S22 have an incredible amount of memory.

FYI, I did a factory reset on my old, cheap Samsung phone and it runs beautifully. I prefer Samsung to other phones. If you have apple/mac products then it makes sense to do an iPhone. If not, I would always choose Samsung. I really like my Samsung tablet,too.

Do you take photos w/your phones, only or do you also take a digital camera when you travel, cadoodlebug ?

I have never used an SD card so that doesn't concern me. The S22 will have all the memory I'll ever need.
All I have is Samsung phones/tablets.

Yes, when we travel, I don't even take my digital camera anymore. Both in Spain and Italy, my S7 took beautiful photos that amazed DH. And the S22 will be even more amazing. Remember these photos from our Italy trip that we made into metal photos for our family room. They were all taken with my S7.

This is before we put them on the wall.
