Not really thanks to the overheating Snap. Right now I'm happy with the Exynos max. But my view of the S22+, which I have, disappointed me enough and I will not go to Samsung again. The photos are pretty terrible. He can't take a picture of the text without blurring, which is quite a bummer. Otherwise, the appearance is great compared to the useless Apple.
