The best time to buy a flagship phone is when its successor comes out. Now that the Galaxy S23 has been out for more than a year, Amazon is clearing out the Galaxy S22 Plus with an unthinkably big discount. You get a brand new premium phone for the price of a mid-tier handset and there are no stipulations involved.
There's something about high-end phones that even newer mid-range phones can't match. So if you had the budget for an affordable phone, Amazon just made it possible for you to get a top-tier phone instead.
The Galaxy S22 Plus has an elegant glass and metal design and it features a beautiful 6.6-inch OLED 120Hz screen that neither feels too large nor too small.
The phone has the same rear camera hardware as the Galaxy S23 Plus, which starts at a much more expensive $999. It churns out vivid and details images and even pictures taken in dimly light surroundings come out good.
The 128GB Galaxy S22 Plus usually retails for $999 but Amazon has knocked its price down by $450.
The only compromise - if I may call it that - you'll be making is that for $450 less, you'll get to own a phone powered by the snappy and responsive Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and not the snappier and even more responsive Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 doesn't deliver noticeably faster performance than the Gen 1 and the only reason to go for the former would be if you like to play games for long stretches. Otherwise, the user experience is quite similar.
