Not counting the added features, font and emoji changes since those are all subjective.
Since it was made available to me (T-Mobile S22 128GB) I’ve WAY less frame drops and the animations themselves seem smoother.
I haven’t had it long enough to notice a difference in battery performance but it’s something I plan to pay close attention to considering the terrible battery life the base S22 has had previously.
I like it apart from the bland colourless control centre… And the colours you can use are just as bad.
