With a DXOMARK Camera score of 126 the Samsung Galaxy S22+ (Exynos) camera does an excellent job, but it lands in the middle of the Ultra-Premium segment that it is in. Compared to last year’s S21+, the new device offers significant improvements in most areas.

The results of the S22+ (Exynos) were identical to those of the S22 (Exynos), and we direct you to the Galaxy S22 (Exynos) Camera test for a more in-depth look into the device’s camera performance.
