Terrible battery

I have had for 6 months, worst battery I've ever owned on a phone, I used it for about an hour and half with Google maps on Android auto, its been unplugged since 630 am its 430 now and I'm down to 2% in 10 hours while only using it for maps, I didn't even use the phone while at work and it drained 80% by the time I got done with work and I didn't even use it at all, I mean no music playing, nothing, just sitting in my frigging pocket.
This is unacceptable, garbage product wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
I used to love Samsung but I'm starting to second guess them now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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
