The Galaxy S22 is about to be launched and from the little, we do know it looks like
it will be an amazing device.
But that also means it comes with an amazing price tag.
While the latest flagship gets all of the attention Samsung actually has a wide range
of devices that will get you the features you want without having to mortgage your kidney.
So in this video, we'll explore the Samsung line of phones and help you find the right
one for you.

Hello Technophiles!
Welcome to Tenzies Tech.
I'm Scott Lefler, and this is our list for the 10 Best Samsung Phones to Buy in 2022.
Number 10 – Samsung Galaxy A32 Starting off the list, we have a great budget
smartphone with access to a 5G connection.
It’s one of the only phones under $300 to provide this feature and that’s what earns
it a place on our list.
Unfortunately, to be able to sell it at this price point, Samsung had to cut some corners.
The biggest one is definitely the display, as it only has an HD+ display instead of an
AMOLED display like most more expensive Samsung smartphones have.
Luckily, it does have a 90hertz refresh rate so that helps with display quality a bit.
It also has an IP68 waterproof rating and a 5000 milliamp-hour battery, so if you’re
a heavy user there’s no need to worry.
And when you do need to recharge the battery, you can do so with the 15-watt fast charging
or wireless charging.
When it comes to the camera, you’ll get 4 cameras on the back with a max resolution
of 48 megapixels and a 13-megapixel selfie camera.
Samsung also promises at least 3 years of consistent updates, so if a long-term budget
smartphone with solid cameras is what you’re looking for, the A32 should be at the top
of your list.
Number 9 - Samsung Galaxy A03s The A03s is a perfect choice for anyone looking
to save money, while still getting a phone which can last them some time.
Costing only $170, has the same 5000 milliamp-hour battery and 15 Watt fast charging found in
the A32 but, unfortunately, it does not support wireless charging.
It also has expandable memory and a 3 camera setup on the back, although the main one is
only 13 megapixels compared to 48 megapixels in comparable Samsung smartphones like the
A32.
The display isn’t that great either, being an HD+ with only a 60hertz refresh rate nor
is it waterproof.
But, it’s a solid option if you’re on a tight budget.
Number 8 - Samsung Galaxy A13 5G Released at the beginning of December last
year, Samsung Galaxy A13 5G is another great budget option for anyone looking for a good
value for money smartphone.
It has the same battery and charging capabilities as the more expensive A32, the same 90hertz
screen as the A32, and a triple-camera setup on the back like the A03 but with a 50-megapixel
main camera instead of the 13-megapixel camera on the A03.
It even has a headphone jack and expandable memory unlike a lot of more expensive smartphones.
The only place in which it’s lacking that might push you to the A32 5G is that, like
the A03, it isn’t waterproof.
But with a price tag of only $250 with 5G capability, it’s a great, well-balanced
entry-level phone.
Number 7 – Samsung Galaxy S21 S21 lineup in general was very well received
by the public, and the base S21 is no exception.
It has a beautiful design, way WAY better than the S20, and comes in great color options,
so if appearance is important to you, look no further.
It’s also a bit smaller than other Samsung phones, with a 6.2-inch display making it
one of the smallest phones on this list, great for people with smaller hands, or just those
who prefer a more compact phone.
Same as all the other S21 models, it has the latest-gen SnapDragon 888 chip which delivers
great performance all around the board, especially when gaming or performing any CPU-heavy activity.
But, there are several drawbacks.
It only has a 4000 milliamp-hour battery and the standard camera is only 12 megapixels
but at least it’s waterproof.
So this is a great option for anyone looking for a compact size with great performance
who doesn’t need the best camera.
Number 6 - Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra Even though it’s almost 2 years old, the
S20 Ultra shouldn’t be overlooked when choosing your next smartphone.
The S20 lineup was kind of a letdown but that had nothing to do with the quality of the
phones.
It was mostly about the insane prices, as the S20 Ultra cost $1400, which was unheard
of for a smartphone at that time.
Today, 2 years later, it’s very easy to find the S20 Ultra going for as low as $800
which, compared to its original price, is almost 50% less.
It’s a large phone in all aspects, having a 6.9-inch display as well as a 5000 milliamp-hour
battery.
It doesn’t have the latest chipset but it will still offer better performance than the
lower-end A-series phones.
The biggest improvement in S20 Ultra at the time of its release was the introduction of
the 108-megapixel camera sensor which greatly improved the quality of the camera in general,
especially the depth in photos.
All in all, it’s a great smartphone about the same price as the base S21 with a much
bigger size, better camera, but slightly poorer performance.
Number 6 - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra If you enjoy drawing and making art on your
phone, or you just really like using the S Pen, Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the solution.
Samsung didn’t release the Note lineup in 2021 and it’s not clear whether they plan
to discontinue it or if they just skipped a year.
Thankfully, the Note 20 Ultra is a great enough smartphone in itself, so an upgrade is not
required, at least for now.
It is one of the biggest phones on the market, having a 6.9-inch display which is kind of
boxy, so every ounce of space is a part of the screen.
It comes together with an S Pen as well as a built-in holder for when you’re not using
it.
Being that we don’t know if and when the next Note lineup is going to be released,
the Note 20 Ultra is still a great flagship option for anyone looking for a new smartphone
with a great stylus.
Number 4 - Samsung Galaxy A52 Although not a part of popular S and Note
lineups, the Samsung Galaxy A52 is one of the best budget-to-midrange smartphones on
the market as a whole.
It’s basically an upgraded A32 with a better 6.5inch display as well as the Super AMOLED
display with a 120hertz refresh rate.
The cameras also are improved with a 64-megapixel main camera and a 32-megapixel selfie camera.
On top of that, it has more ram and more storage.
The chipsets aren’t the top of the line so if your a heavy gamer you’ll notice it
and it only has a 4500 milliamp-hour battery but it makes up for this with 25-watt fast
charging.
At $500 it’s the perfect middle-of-the-road smartphone.
Number 3 - Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 That’s right, Samsung is bringing back the
flip phone.
This is a great option for someone looking for a compact phone without compromising features.
When it’s folded, it has a cover display so you can perform basic actions like checking
the time or controlling the music player, all without even opening the phone.
Its folded size also allows for it to be carried around in any pocket, no matter the size as
it’s basically half the size of a 6.7-inch phone.
It definitely isn’t a cheap phone coming in at $1000 but if you’re interested in
this kind of phone, it's a perfect choice.
Number 2 - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra If you’re looking for the absolute best
smartphone and you don’t necessarily care about the price, the S21 Ultra is a clear
winner.
Regarded by many as the best smartphone to come out in 2021, it’s easy to see why.
It has all the top-notch hardware as it has the latest SnapDragon 888 chip as well as
one of the best ever displays on a smartphone.
With its Dynamic AMOLED display as well as the adaptive 120-hertz refresh rate, it’s
sure to give you the most pleasing time looking at a screen possible.
It also has a giant 5000 milliamp-hour battery, so you don’t have to worry about needing
your charger during the day.
Although at the time of making this video it’s $1200, it’s very common for the price
to drop significantly after the launch of the next model.
This phone has been sold for as little as $900 back in June of 2021 and at that price,
it’s a bargain.
Number 1 – Samsung Galaxy S21 FE
When it comes to the quality to price ratio, there’s no better Samsung smartphone than
our number 1 pick, the S21 FE.
Released in January of 2022, it is a follow-up to a widely popular and successful S20 FE.
It follows the formula of the S20 FE and delivers a smartphone that is very similar in specs
to other S21 phones but with a cheaper price tag.
It’s $100 less than the base S21 model but has all the same hardware as well as all the
software features.
One big area that it improves upon the S21 is the selfie camera offering 32 Megapixels
instead of 10 megapixels on the S21.
So, if you’re an avid Instagrammer or TickToker this will be a huge improvement.
It can be found on sale frequently as Samsung’s FE lineup is supposed to be an affordable
bridge between the A-Series to the S-Series.
Taking all of these things into consideration, we will have to crown the Samsung Galaxy S21
FE as the best Samsung phone to buy in 2022.
