Regardless of whether you're looking to upgrade at your carrier, switch to a prepaid network, or simply pick up a discounted unlocked device, you'll find all options here. This week's Galaxy S22 deals offer strong candidates for each category and you can compare them easily here.
The Samsung Galaxy S22 retailed for $799 at the time of its February 2022 release but it's fairly easy to pick up this device for much cheaper upfront thanks to the release of the newer Samsung Galaxy S24 deals. Even though it's not the latest device in the range, the Galaxy S22 is still a great choice in 2023 if you can bag a bargain - not least because it's outwardly very similar to the later models and features great internal components.
Inside, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset is still plenty powerful while an excellent camera and adaptive refresh-rate display mean you're still getting some of the best features with this model. The Galaxy S22 also sees a return to a premium glass-backed design, an upgrade from the 'glasstick' on the S21. Overall, this device still holds up when compared to the new Samsung Galaxy S23 - especially if you can get a decent deal.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 is here and what can we say. It's more of the same, but that's a good thing. With this latest release, Samsung took the excellent Galaxy S21 and made meaningful, well-thought-out upgrades to what was already one of the best flagship devices on the market.
At first glance, the device very much follows the same design language as the S21. It's got the same rear-camera contour, flat-edged front, and lack of 3.5mm port, but now comes with a nicely premium glass-backed panel - a marked upgrade from the plastic on the Galaxy S21.
Inside, Samsung has beefed up the chip to the new Snapdragon Gen 8 1, which should give marginal gains over the last generation while still keeping this device at the forefront of power versus its rivals. It's now got an adaptive refresh rate display (10 to 120Hz) to aid with battery life, and Samsung has also shuffled the rear camera array round to have a higher resolution main camera, at the expense of the telephoto.
Interestingly, Samsung has slimmed down the screen slightly from 6.2-inches to 6.1-inches, although we'd challenge anyone to tell the difference at first glance. This device remains the best choice in the range for those who want something relatively 'palm-friendly'. For a bigger screen without going too crazy on price, we'd recommend the Galaxy S22 Plus. For a no-holds-barred premium experience, check out the Galaxy S22 Ultra.
At launch, the standard Galaxy S22 comes in a 128GB storage variant for $799, or an upgraded 256GB version for $849. Launch colors are Phantom Black, Phantom White, Pink Gold, or Green.
