I bought this phone a year ago and I have had nothing but issues. Lets start with the Good Things: Camera, Screen (size, brightness, etc), speaker sound, size, and weight are all great. I moved from a Note 10 to this phone and was hesitant about the change. The Con: arrived with broken motherboard (repaired) and data connectivity issues that can't be resolved by the mobile carrier (awaiting another repair). Unfortunately, with all the pretty bells and whistles that the phone comes with, its all for not if i have to be on WiFi for it to function properly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Some good features but most sucks. You can silence an individual contact. You also can't block an individual contact.......

Like the phone and have always liked the Samsung Galaxy series however the engineering designers really flopped on this one. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the power button on the same side and right below the volume down button is moron. No thought whatsoever went in to making this decision. A grade school child would have known better than to put the power button next to any other button. Come on Samsung do better on the future models.
I never thought I will get used to this large phone ; but I did- now i can't go back to regular small phones now. This phone has excellent camera and best screen resolution. The spen is a great addition. I use it quite a bit on selfies and image editing. I have shot some amazing photos with this phone - unbelievable that phone photography has come a very long way now. Overall a great phone - truly flagship.
The Galaxy S22 Ultra has been a disappointment. While it has many great features, the vibration modes reduces the phones functionality. Specifically, I can barely feel the phone vibrate when it is in my hand without case. This may sound like a minor inconvenience, but I spend a great deal of time in meetings and public areas. Vibration is important.
A couple of months ago, per a suggestion from Samsung, I took the phone to an authorized repair center. They told me the phone was functioning as designed.
Since the purchase of a Galaxy S III our phones and tablets have all been Samsung products. I need to replace my Galaxy S22 Ultra for a phone with a good vibration mode - it will probably not be a Samsung product.

Hi Jmgr, thank you for your feedback on your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. We understand how important knowing when you receive texts or calls is and how the vibration is a key feature of this. We would be more than happy to assist you. If you haven't done so already, in your settings you can increase the power of your vibration. In your settings app under sounds and vibration, under vibration instensity you can adjust how strong the vibration is for calls, notification, and everything separately. You also have an option to have a vibration sound for calls that can also ensure you never miss an important call. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer, and we have included a link to the Samsung Support Team should you need further assistance. -Elizabeth Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger Twitter smsng.us/Twitter-Messages
I hate having to push 2 buttons at the same time to turn off or re-boot, also don't really like how the finger print sensor disappears when the screen is off, its hard to find at times and you have to move your finger around until you find it. There should be a subtle mar on the screen that you can see when the screen is off that disappears when the screen comes on. The USB plug is starting to wear out and loosing connection with my new car every time I hit a bump, it still charges but it wont stay connected to my car. I use my phone to deliver with Uber Eats and Grubhub so I have to plug and unplug a lot but its only like 7 months old and shouldn't be happening this soon.

Hey Chuck, we appreciate you taking time to provide your thoughts to us on your Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. We understand how necessary a fully functioning device is to your work and we are eager to assist you. With regards to having to use two buttons to restart your device, the settings can be adjusted to change the usage of one of your side buttons from waking Bixby to a power off function. You can also use the Always on Display so that the fingerprint display will not disappear. Lastly, given the stated time of ownership we have provided a link to the manufacturer warranty and the Samsung Support Team for assistance with the charging port of your device. We appreciate you being a Samsung customer. -Elizabeth Product Manuals https://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/ Samsung Support smsng.us/Samsung-Support Samsung Community smsng.us/Samsung-Community Facebook smsng.us/Facebook-Messenger Twitter smsng.us/Twitter-Messages
