Contents This quote is taken from our Samsung Galaxy S21 review, and I really don’t want to see it repeated when we review the Galaxy S22. The underlying reason for the plastic back was a noble one: it helped lower the price, but it was a decision that smacked of one being made by accountants with limited to no understanding of what people want or deserve from the smallest S Series.
The presence of plastic is also somewhat expected. If our budget is below $500, we know there will have to be compromises, and the biggest will be in materials and overall performance. Most of us will take a plastic-that-looks-like-glass rear panel like on the Galaxy A52 or a thoughtfully made metal-but-really-polycarbonate affair like the Nokia X20, if it means a slightly newer processor or a better camera on a mid-range phone.
Putting a plastic back on the Galaxy S21 bordered on sacrilege, just as it did on the Galaxy Note 20, and it absolutely must not happen on the Galaxy S22. Yes, the S21 was the cheapest model in the range, but it’s absolutely not a cheap phone and therefore should not employ the same price-obfuscating tactics as an actual cheap phone. I also don’t think people were always driven to buy the S21 because it was the cheapest; I think they bought it because it’s the smallest.
The Galaxy S22 needs to be treated better The Galaxy S22 will not be a cheap or a mid-range smartphone, so Samsung needs to keep the penny-pinching accountants away from the final spec sheet. They’ve got the A Series and FE models to play with. What the S22 will be is the smallest member of the new S Series, and that should really be the primary differentiating factor between it and the Galaxy S21+.
