I’ve been testing TikTok on the Galaxy S22, especially recording directly from the app and editing short clips. Overall, the camera quality is impressive, but I’ve noticed occasional frame drops and slight color shifts in high-motion scenes, particularly after upload.
Out of curiosity, I also tested recording similar clips for TikTok-style platforms like TikTok 18, where videos are often uploaded through the browser or lighter mobile interfaces instead of a fully optimized in-app camera pipeline. On platforms such as reels18, the same footage sometimes appears more consistent in color and motion, which makes me wonder how much of the issue comes from TikTok’s in-app processing versus the phone’s camera settings themselves.
For other Galaxy S22 users:
Have you found camera settings that improve TikTok video smoothness or color consistency?
Does shooting in 60fps, enabling HDR, or adjusting stabilization make a noticeable difference once the video is uploaded?
Have you noticed different results when uploading similar clips to TikTok compared to TikTok 18–style platforms?
I’d love to hear real-world experiences or recording workflows that help get more consistent results out of the S22 for short-form video.
If you want, I can:
Make it more camera-technical (codec, bitrate, Samsung camera modes)
