From full screen to folding screen to business flagship, the mobile phone screen has broken through the 7-inch threshold. However, many girls with small hands still love small-screen mobile phones. To this end, Xiaomi also released a small-screen phone with a 6.28-inch screen this year, equipped with a Snapdragon 8 chip.
Under the trend of large-screen mobile phones, small-screen mobile phones can no longer be said to be a niche product, but a rare species. Rough statistics, the only products with a screen size of regarding 6.2 inches are Samsung S22, Meizu 18s and Xiaomi Mi 12. Among these small-screen flagship phones, the Samsung S22 has the most comprehensive configuration and is a true Snapdragon 8 flagship phone.
However, among a variety of small-screen mobile phones, the Samsung S22 is also the most expensive, starting at 4999RMB for the entry-level version. In fact, Samsung S22 has always had a discount of 500RMB in disguise, and the price dropped by 1,000 yuan following the e-commerce 6.18 promotion started. In the past two days, the price has dropped directly to 3599RMB, becoming a veritable diving king.
Careful users will find that the price of Samsung S21 was also reduced by regarding 1400RMB during the 6.18 promotion last year. After the price drops to around 3500RMB, is Samsung S22 worth buying? From the perspective of configuration and price, Samsung S22 is the most worthwhile small-screen flagship phone.
It is undeniable that Xiaomi Mi 12 and Meizu 18s are also small-screen phones, but the hardware configuration is not too comprehensive. In the case of Meizu 18s, it is equipped with Snapdragon 888 Plus chip, uses a 6.2-inch screen, supports 120Hz refresh rate, does not support LTPO technology, and has no wireless charging.
A simple comparison will show that the Meizu 18s is also a small-screen mobile phone, the chip is one generation behind, and it does not support wireless charging. The advantage is that the 6.2-inch small screen supports 2K resolution. In terms of photography, the overall level of Meizu 18s is not as good as Samsung S22. Of course, Meizu 18s is cheaper in price, less than 3,000 yuan.
Let’s talk regarding the Xiaomi Mi 12, which is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 chip and uses a 6.28-inch screen. In terms of details, multi-function NFC, infrared remote control, and stereo dual speakers are standard, and wireless charging is also supported. However, the screen also does not support LPTO technology.
A comprehensive comparison will find that the hardware configuration of the Samsung S22 is quite complete. As far as the screen is concerned, the Samsung screen has the best display effect and the best adjustment. It also supports LTPO technology, and is equipped with an ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint, which supports wet-hand unlocking, and can also be unlocked in water.
Compared with traditional optical fingerprints, Samsung S22’s ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint unlocking not only supports wet-hand unlocking, but also unlocks faster and more accurately. More importantly, IP68 waterproofing is also standard. On the other hand, Meizu 18s and Xiaomi Mi 12 do not support IP68 waterproof.
In actual use, IP68 waterproof is very practical. You must know that the mobile phone may be splashed with water in daily life, and the Samsung S22 does not have to worry regarding this problem at all. What’s more, with the IP68 waterproof capability, the mobile phone can be flushed, so there is no need to worry regarding the problem of water ingress.
Taken together, the Samsung S22 is still a great value following a thousand yuan price cut. Moreover, the hardware configuration is more comprehensive, LTPO technology, wireless charging, IP68 waterproof, fingerprints under the ultrasonic screen and other configurations are not available in mobile phones of the same price. However, the battery capacity of the Samsung S22 is a bit small, only 3700mAh, and the battery life is weaker, following all, the Snapdragon 8 consumes more power.
