Poor celular/network signal

[Sten7981]

I must say I am terribly disappointed with S22 signal strength. Me and my mate using the same network provider, with the same package, at the same spot, but his Realme Pro 6 phone got 2 bars and my S22 got zero bar. For a phone twice of the price, I am expecting a bit more omph!

Bars don't have any defined standard so they are not comparable between different phones and certainly not between different manufacturers. For a better test in the same location I would suggest a speed test app.

He could still browse a bit, I couldn't. Possibily it is bigger antena on his phone as it is bigger dimension wise.

Yes as @x1ife has said.
I will also add, phone cases can affect signal quality as well as how you hold it.
It's possible your friends phone has a larger antenna, but you can get differences in coverage strength and speed from the same network provider depending on the type of contract.
Also with 3G services set to wind down now, 4G and 5G services will be more of a priority for manufacturers that directly supply the UK Europe markets.
I carry 3 phones everyday and the two on the same network quite often have different signal strengths in whatever makes of phone I put them in.
Both on the same contracts as well.

Try contacting your service provider and see if they can push network settings to your phone. Sometimes that can help as well

Silly question but is your phone a UK model?

Snapdragon version

I am guessing you are in the USA? Are you on Verizon?
