Bought my phone about two weeks ago and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. I have had Galaxy S series phones since the S4 and have never been disappointed. Traded in my Z fold for the S22 Ultra and it was certainly a good decision. Phone is fast, smooth and plenty of great built in features. Not much of a camera guy, but the screen and Samsung apps are really my main draw. It is a large phone so if you have smaller hands it may be a bit awkward to use. Overall it is certainly worthy of the title flagship. All five stars were earned for this phone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 3 months ago and I am very happy with this product. The battery doesn't last as long as my S20+ but the features and the speed is worth it. It is able to fast charge wirelessly which makes it convenient.
I'm somewhat underwhelmed from this S22 Ultra...my older phone was a Note 20 Ultra 5G. I upgraded due to the camera potential, but I haven't seen a great improvement, just a greater memory hog. The Note 20 took wonderful easy photos and video...perhaps I need a power user guide to get more out of this S22 Ultra. The lack of availability of power user guides and the way Samsung cheapened up the accessories for this camera is another big problem. Samsung charges more for accessories, such as covers, that are so inferior to the ones for the Note 20 Ultra. Overall, this feels more like a downgrade, instead of an upgrade!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this phone about 4 or 5 months ago. I love it! My second Samsung phone. Most likely not going to be my last.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Coming from the Pixel 7 Pro, I can honestly say - the S22 Ultra has it beat with the same specs. Fit & finish, performance, cameras, photo editing, video - the S22 Ultra is superior + the s-pen. It's not that I would recommend the S22 Ultra - I have - they love it too.
