[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered this phone as a pre order. It took 3 days to get it to go through. Finally it did and it's been worth the trouble. My son, Brett, had been trying to get me to change over from my Motorola. I had many Motorola phones for numerous years. Well I had to get a new one so Samsung it is. There's so much to learn and explore that it shouldn't ever get old. It takes great pictures but so many options it's difficult to choose. Experimentation! Editing! Never would have thought I could do so much on a phone and I'm the one that used to know phones. Hahaha not anymore! I'm really excited and happy my son talked me into a Samsung phone. Now for the tv!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 13 Year iPhone user, I was bored with the iPhone and have been looking at purchasing the Fold 3 or the Samsung S22 Ultra, the Fold was a little too pricey for me so I passed on that one but ended up pre-ordering the S22 Ultra and I do NOT regret it at all, I love this phone mostly for the "Customizability" to make it your own, the fit and finish are pure premium and should be for the price, I also very much like the look of the camera layout on the back of the phone very clean and minimal, The squared off design of the phone with the screen that flows over the sides of the phone offer a no bezel look that offers a full screen, and what can I say about the screen! Awesome I have a hard time putting the phone down the screen looks so great, I still have my iPhone 13 Pro Max but I find myself using the S22 more & more the screen just looks so great, I also like the fact of the updates that are keeping the phone up-to-date, performance improvements, Security updates, And the speed of the phone, opening Apps is very snappy and fast, I never thought I'd use the S-Pen but I have been using this phone for work and for taking notes it's quick and fast to do so very handy and I have been using it a lot, but I also have a lot to learn to about the S-Pen I think it could become a very useful tool, I pre-order this phone and at the time Samsung was giving a free memory upgrade, I purchased the Unlocked Black 256GB, I am extremely happy with my decision I made about purchasing this phone....Also one more thing I need to mention the Battery, for the first week the battery was not very good but after that about a week later when it learned my daily routine it became very good and now lasts me all day, I am not a superuser or heavy user just using it for normal active like making phone calls, texting, searching the web and watching Youtube videos, I did add a case and a screen protector to protect my investment, overall I would highly recommend this phone if you have been sitting on the fence like I was, Time to pull the trigger well worth it, I am not being paid for this review I just have had a very positive experience with this phone after using Apple phones for so long, which are good phones but this S22 Ultra just opens up a whole new world.....Enjoy!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this phone for over a month, its super fast, has great features and takes awesome pictures.
Preordered to upgraded from S20+. Day 5, phone fell (once), 3' and cracked. With a tempered glass screen protector and case. Toughest glass yet, they claim.. pshh. 20+ suffered more than that over a year and didn't have this issue. Also, the screen gets a green haze now. Should've saved my money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung S22 Ultra has singlehandedly kept me as a Samsung customer. I've been wanting to switch to a different phone as the Galaxy line was getting too samey to most of the other popular phones on the market. Then they introduced the S22 ultra. every single color available on launch day was beautiful, I didn't know which to pick. Eventually i settled for the Green option. This to me is the first step before selecting a phone, how it looks like in person. It passed the eye check, looked as beautiful in person as it did online, but that's not all. All the reviews just didn't do it justice, the phone is amazing. The next physical thing that i noticed was the weight. Last year's flagship was heavy and felt like a danger when reading an E-book from your bed before bed. This time, the S-22 Ultra has an evenly distributed weight compared to the S-22 Ultra's camera heavy frame. As I said, the design is beautiful, moving on from the traditional shape of the Galaxy series to more of a note with slightly curved edges. This look to me still screams futuristic, what with all the cameras and a lack of bezel (even with the front facing camera's forgettable circle at the top of the screen). The cameras allow you to take some amazing pictures, wether up close or far away, the videos you can record are of beautiful quality, for a phone, and the low light filter is astounding, just as advertised. The display is, as always with Samsung, the best in the game. The S Pen is a fun feature that most may just see as a gimmick, but for me it's a fun addition that has allowed me to pick up drawing in my spare time, something I've always wanted to do.
Overall, this phone does it all, has it all, and is all you'll ever need. I wouldn't dare to call it "Samsung's Magnum Opus" as I know that this isn't even close to being their last great phone, but it certainly feels that way. This, to me, is the most fun and pleasure I've ever had with a smartphone since they first came out when I was a kid.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Traded in my s21 ultra for the 22 ultra and overall theyre pretty comparible. 21 had MUCH better battery life though. Have my settings set to shut down charging to extend the life of the battery and i have yet to make it whole day without having to charge to make it through. According to Accubattery, based on 83 charge sessions with 3892% charged sessions they estimate my battery capacity to be 4422mAH and its supposed to be 5000!?? Pretty dissappointed in it. Just being honest Samsung...
I would recommend this to a friend!
