Uhm not sure about others but i have a S22 and it has been a pleasure. I get a 9 to 9 charge which is sufficient for me but again i don't use the phone to game. Although the only problem i face is when it is below 10% and it falls rapidly to 0 after that.

S22 ain't bad but the Zenfone does have better battery life, a more powerful chipset, nicer speakers and a headphone jack.
