The Samsung Galaxy S22 has since been overshadowed by its successor, the Samsung Galaxy S23, but it’s still a very capable smartphone with either Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip or Samsung’s Exynos 2200 processor. It will breeze through everything that you throw at it, including multitasking between apps or playing demanding mobile games.

You’ll certainly love the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S22 — a 6.1-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that’s bright and colorful. However, if you want it slightly bigger, you can go for the Samsung Galaxy S22+ and its 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display screen. Otherwise, the two models are similar, according to our Samsung Galaxy S22 versus Samsung Galaxy S22+ comparison, including their 8GB of RAM, IP68 resistance against water, and a triple-camera setup at the back with 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto lenses.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 ships with Android 13 under Samsung’s OneUI 5, and with three more years of operating system updates, you can be sure that the smartphone will be getting access to new Android features in the future.

WhatsApp Plus is here, and you can safely ignore this subscription
WhatsApp wants a monthly fee for what other apps include by default, and that's a problem Meta can't dress up with custom icons.

WhatsApp has fiercely defended its status as a free, no-nonsense online messaging app for over a decade, but a new subscription tier is muddying the waters. 

Meta is rolling out WhatsApp Plus, a paid subscription model, to a limited number of iPhone users using the latest version of the App Store.

Apple and Google just put a lock on your green-bubble texts, and it’s about time
The green bubble finally has something to brag about. Apple and Google's unlikely alliance brings real encryption to everyday cross-platform texting.
E2EE arrives on RCS for iPhone and Android phones.

For years, texting between an iPhone and an Android device felt less like a private conversation and more like shouting across a crowded street. Well, that changes on May 11, 2026, as Apple and Google jointly launched end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for RCS messaging. 

The long-awaited feature is rolling out first in beta with iOS 26.5 (also announced today) and the latest version of Google Messages.

The Razr Ultra 2026 is everything a flip phone should be, but I’m not paying $1,500 for it
A flip phone was never supposed to cost this much. At $1,500, the Razr Ultra finds itself in an uncomfortable fight against everything else your money can buy.
Motorola Razr Ultra

I'll be blunt: $1,500 is a lot of money to spend on the Razr Ultra, a clamshell phone that folds in half. In fact, it's a lot of money to spend on any smartphone, especially when a Galaxy S26 Ultra or iPhone 17 Pro Max costs less and still leaves a few hundred dollars in your pocket, or throwing in a couple of hundred bucks can get you a full-fledged book-style foldable. 

For me, the Razr Ultra doesn't quite make a strong case at $1,500. In isolation, it's a genuinely impressive flip phone that gets all the basics right and delivers the premium experience you'd expect at this price. The Alcantara back, the 5,000-nit display, the silicon-carbon battery, and the dual cameras on the back make it sound like a complete package.
