basically every test that has been linked in this thread so far shows S21 better than S22
looks like my case that i ordered a few days after my samsung order, is going to get here before my phone does.
it's a foot race now...
that could work out pretty well
Samsung seem to be giving away 10% vouchers when you contact the call centre.
At the end of your call, they ask something like "Do you have any other Samsung devices", and when you reply in the affirmative or show your loyalty, they'll email a 10% off voucher. Email will come later that day.
Now this voucher can be stacked with the GALAXYS22 code, making it an even sweeter discount on mobile devices. 10% off is added after the GALAXYS22, no matter which way you enter it.
Can be used for accessories etc but the big win will be for mobile deals.
You can contact the call centre for updates on existing order and say you haven't heard anything since it was ordered, no updates or change of status.
Example below: (Additional $190 off in order below)
I just called, didn't get asked that question :(
It didn't stack for me, I was offered this as well but when I asked it was either GALAXYS22 or the 10% off. I just went with the GALAXYS22 because it was giving more than the 10% at the time.

You ordered through the EPP store?
It won't stack in the EPP store.

No, I used the regular store. Not the EPP.

Remember, as stated, that test was using 100% APL which is not representative of real world usage, and was only used to highlight the fact that the 1% APL that Samsung use is also not representative of real world usage and is more marketing than anything. Samsung claims 1750nits at 1% APL but the test results show that at 100% APL it drops to below 700nits. Ignore the extremes at each end, what we really need to know is the brightness levels at real world APL levels. Below are some test results from GSMarena using 75% APL which is more representative of real world usage. I would like to see this test with the regular sized ones too. So far the only real world tests that I've seen where S21 is better than S22 is battery life (at least for the standard version anyway).

From what I have seen on other reviews, its just the base S22 that may have slightly less battery life than S21. Rest of the stuff is definitely an upgrade, but may not be a significant upgrade warranting S21 owners to shell out extra cash.

So considering the absolute cluster**** that I've had dealing with the estore I just called and laid it on the line that if I can get one of these I will drop everything with the estore I've been dealing with as this will enable me to place the order they cancelled and I now can't place again due to expired codes. I still had to say I own another samsung device but they accepted that as I own a galaxy active watch I purchased 2 years ago I was eligible. Didn't ask for any evidence of that though and were willing to send it to an email that has never had anything to do with samsung devices as I asked to ensure I don't end up with another cancellation and I can also use the GALAXYS22 code on that address. Fingers crossed it comes through later. Now I'm tempted at this price to upgrade to the ultra, $400 was a hard pill to swallow but when I was spending $1500 anyway $200 is a bit easier.
That Exynos 2200 performing like that is the exact experience I had with the Exynos 990 in the S20+.
Good lord that's absolutely terrible. Ouch!

It won't stack in the EPP store.
Also got offered the 10% discount voucher when I called Samsung aboout 30 min ago.
Waiting for it to be sent.
Samsung confirmed this voucher can only be used in normal Samsung online store, not on EPP.

What did you call about? I rang the mobile department but didn't get the offer.
