Excellent phone with amazing picture resolution

I love this phone very much. The pen that pops out from the bottom has so many amazing features to use that are awesome. The 108mp camera ability is crazy awesome along with the 100× digital zoom capabilities. I love how many features the camera has so you are able to use the camera in so many unique ways. I do miss the magnified photo option that A71 phone had. That was really useful for me. Obviously I'm still figuring out how to use the many many different features this phone offers but so far I have found it to be an amazing phone. I do wish instead of having the 2 SIM card option they would have just allowed the use of an external memory card like most phones before it. I think that's a really great feature they should have never removed. It really separated ... MoreI love this phone very much.

I think that's a really great feature they should have never removed. It really separated Samsung from iPhone in a big way just by that simple feature but with my 516g hard drive and my external SSD Terabyte drive to store photos and videos on it's manageable. I fill up my hard drive space quite far with all the photos and videos plus movies I keep on my phone. It will take me quite a long time to learn all the features of this phone if I ever can but so far I'm truly loving this S22 Ultra and I really love the color options. I got mine in green. Make sure to pick a good screen cover and phone case because you could easily damage the screen if dropped because of the slightly rounded edges. It's unlimited many phones before it but it's not completely new. Other Samsung phones have also had this design as well. Just make sure you research for a really to quality care and screen protector. I got the "Perfect Film Milomdoi Screen Protector" with 9H Tempered glass screen protector and it's amazing. I had to try a couple before I found this one because it was difficult for my fingerprint to be read when placing it in the screen and want as sensitive as it should have been so it caused a lot of issues. I finally found this screen protector and it's amazing plus it comes with 3 separate screen protectors and camera lens protectors. It's an elaborate setup they send you with in the packaging so be sure to read the instructions carefully before attempting to place the screen protector on your phone but if you do it correctly it is amazing and you will be very pleased with your purchase.

Samsung's efforts qualify but do not exemplify.

I was eagerly awaiting the launch of the S23 series as I needed to upgrade my own handset and that of a few family members. One of which was still using an S7!? OMG.I purchased the Ultra 512/12 more than anything because I HAD to order a 512 to get 12Gb of ram... with all the cloud services these days I believe that 256 on board is sufficient. I STILL MISS THE SD CARD SLOTdesign language of the S22 and its successor are spoken in the same tongue, with minimal differences to be observed and from a distance one would be hard pressed to even tell them apart...On board as you would expect its packing the latest and great qualcomm processing powerhouse, and comes with the leading edge of Samsung's one UI.The CAMERA seemed to be the most hyped upgrade of the ... MoreI was eagerly awaiting the launch of the S23 series as I needed to upgrade my own handset and that of a few family members.

The Night time photos are easily the best night time capture I've ever seem on any handset.The Ultra comes with the loved or hated spen but for those who love them the S23 will keep you happy, my experience with the S23 Ultra is that the spen is more responsive than previously and just somehow seems more comfortable/natural in my hand.45w super fast charging 2.0 will have the battery from 0% to 60% in less than half an hour very convenient feature in my books.Screen is gorgeous and peaks brightness adaptively like I've not seen before. Paired with the stereo speaker set up the handset makes kicking back and streaming with earphones and straight off the speakers more than adequate, even impressive.All in all the S23 line up from samsung could have pushed boundaries a little further, could have broken some new ground and basically left me wanting more. $2400 and the device requires that you then purchase a 45w charger for another $70...Gone are the days where sumsung were vying for pole position amongst the Android population, they own the throne, they wear the crown and this S23 feels like they know they need not wow there fans this season

Supposed to be the best, but is certainly not!

I bought this phone as I wanted to have what had been advertised as one of the best phones on the market. Since owning the phone for 4/5 months now I can tell you that I have been extremely disappointed.I will start with the positives of this phone as I do believe there is some, such as the phones telephoto zoom is awesome and I love taking photos of the moon and planes with it. Also the screen is very good, with great picture quality. The S pen is also a very great feature, however this is where the failures of the phone begin.As I said the S pen is really cool and I do enjoy drawing with it however 8/10 times I go to use the pen it fails to connect to the device. I mentioned this too Samsung customer service, and there advice was that to fix I would have to ... MoreI bought this phone as I wanted to have what had been advertised as one of the best phones on the market.

The S pen is also a very great feature, however this is where the failures of the phone begin.As I said the S pen is really cool and I do enjoy drawing with it however 8/10 times I go to use the pen it fails to connect to the device. I mentioned this too Samsung customer service, and there advice was that to fix I would have to reset the phone everytime it would fail! Which for £1200! is ridiculous that it has connections issues, the same goes for the connectivity of my Bluetooth earphones it will often fail to connect.Now another absolutely disgraceful thing that happened during my first 2 months of ownerships, is that over night the phone just blew it's speakers (hard to believe I know), it was extremely upsetting to have the phone break after only 2 month of ownerships. But at least hopefully I could get it fixed as it was still within warranty, and this is where I come to the customer service portion of my review.Organising and getting a repair organised for my phone was a cumbersome and frustrating process, after having to factory reset my phone as part of their 'troubleshooting' before I could even book an appointment. Then when I finally was able to book a mobile repair which would be a week, the repair man was late by an hour making me have to wait around for ages. Then when he finally did take my phone, the truly shocking things happen.He stated that not only was my speaker broken but also the camera units where damaged and so he would have to replace the whole motherboard of the phone. He stated that he could tell these were not done my the consumer(me) and he was very puzzled on why this happened. He also commented saying that "it looked as if someone had previously been into the phone" which I was furious about as it was brand new phone purchased directly from Samsung. After this experience the phone was repaired and given back to me fully wiped for third time but the speaker was fixed and so apparently where the cameras which I was not aware were broken. However it still has constant connectivity issues.Now after this experience I called Samsung customer service hoping that I could get a replacement phone, however it seems I was truly mistaken. As they said that the phone would have to fail in the exact same way 3 times before the phone would be replaced. Also when I confronted them about the issue that the repair man brought of up of it looking like the phone had been openend up before, they just said this may be because of how it was manufactured as it is done by hand. Which honestly is not at all a reasonable excuse for a faulty device, basically admitting their manufacturing process is inferior and that clearly their is no form of quality control.As this review is getting very long I suppose i should summarise my experience with the S22 ultra, I believe that it is a truly over priced phone thats only truly good feature is the camera. My customer service experience was terrible and the phone it's self I would only ever describe as okay to someone. I would certainly never recommend anyone buys it, or their new S23 ultra as that just looks like a rebrand of an S22 and again I imagine is a terrible waste of money. For spending over a thousand pounds on a phone you would never expect it to go wrong and certainly not in the first few months of ownership. I have had a very unpleasant experience from Samsung and will definitely be going for another phone/technology company in the future.I hope this hopes future buyers, and I genuinely and very disappointed that this is what I got from my experience.

Terrible quality, not worth the money

Most expensive phone I've ever owned, and also the worst performing phone I've ever owned. I've used Samsung Galaxy devices for about a decade now and have always loved them. Finally decided to splurge and buy the S22 Ultra when it was released because my Samsung devices have always been reliable and good quality. I regret that decision so much. I've had the S22 Ultra for around 6 months now and a few months ago it started having issues with charging, issues with connecting to my car system, issues with the screen freezing, issues with sending/receiving messages (although that could be a problem with my service), and just seems to get slower and slower every day. The slightest brush against the USB cord when it's plugged in to charge or into my car's USB port causes ... MoreMost expensive phone I've ever owned, and also the worst performing phone I've ever owned.

The slightest brush against the USB cord when it's plugged in to charge or into my car's USB port causes it to disconnect completely and stop charging. I often have to unplug it and replug it back in 5 or more times before it will connect again. It's also just in the last few days started losing battery charge like crazy, even though I've changed nothing regarding apps or power settings. This morning I took it off the charger when I got up, it was at 100% battery... went to brush my teeth and looked at the phone, it was at 84%Sometimes restarting the phone helps, but usually not for long. It causes me daily frustration, so much so that even though I still owe a large amount of money on it I'm ready to do an early upgrade (or downgrade) and go back to a different, less expensive but more reliable phone model. Also, the camera that's supposed to be so awesome? Photos look great - until you zoom in on them. The photos come out so pixelated and blurry, even though I keep the lens clean. I used to get much better photos using way cheaper phone cameras with less megapixels. I'm so disappointed with this phone. Taking it in for a possible warranty repair to deal with the charging/USB connection and freezing issues today but if they can't do anything, I'll just have to eat the hundreds of dollars I still owe and buy something else because I cannot continue using this garbage phone.

The S22 Ultra Is An Amazing Piece of Technology!

I purchased my Unlocked S22 Ultra exactly one month ago to the day that I'm writing this and I must say that this phone is amazing so far. I'm still in the process of reading the manual & learning all of what it has to offer but so far, it's an amazing piece of technology. My previous cellphone was a Samsung S10+, 4G but this S22 Ultra is really "next level" when it comes to speed, smoothness of swipes and transition of screens, screen/camera/video quality, S-pen options, screen & phone size (I'm a bigger guy), battery life (depending on your settings) and so many other options. These features truly enhance my life. I write all of this as a "techie" with decades of formal and informal technology experience.Honestly, if your device isn't defective or broken somehow, ... MoreI purchased my Unlocked S22 Ultra exactly one month ago to the day that I'm writing this and I must say that this phone is amazing so far.

These features truly enhance my life. I write all of this as a "techie" with decades of formal and informal technology experience.Honestly, if your device isn't defective or broken somehow, I don't understand what's not to like about this device… other than the price, lol. I do understand that we all have preferences & they may legitimately affect our like/dislike of a product & I assume that these are where the complaints come in. Respectfully, I can CLEARLY see where the S22 Ultra can be too much phone for a lot of ppl. It has a lot of features that I use for personal & business use & this may be too much for some ppl but that's where the other S22 devices should/could suffice.The lack of an included micro SD card slot & the omission of the headphone jack is a bit disappointing but it doesn't diminish all of the many other amazing features of this phone. I purchased discounted Samsung earbuds with my S22 Ultra so the omitted headphone jack is not an issue for me but I must admit that not having the SD card still disappoints as costs us more to buy the phone versions with expanded memory... and that's why I purchased the 256GB version of this phone.I would've gotten the 512GB version but it was sold out at the various places that offered the best discounts that I received. But with all its features, I didn't think the basic 128GB version would be enough memory to last me for the possible 2-3 years that I plan to have this device while using its UHD pictures, videos, games & apps. I highly recommend this device if you can afford it and if you can/will use most of its wonderful features. If not, you should consider the other S22 versions with a little less features and for less money. They are all practical, progressive & entertaining devices but only if the features fit/satisfy your needs & preferences... so do you research.I love my Unlocked S22 Ultra 256GB cellphone/micro pc! LOL. I'm thankful for it & I highly recommend it for work, rest & play!

The WORST Samsung flagship phone EVER! Do not buy!

So I'm repeating myself here, since my original review never got published (despite the email I got saying that it was)I have had almost every Samsung flagship since the Galaxy S4 and loved them all. I've stayed loyal to the brand, praised it for the ability to actually listen to its customers, and laughed at Apple users until now. Apparently, Samsung just stopped caring, since the S22 Ultra is nothing but a disappointment. I'm not gonna ramble on about the headphone jack and the SD card slot that we lost quite some time ago, although it would be nice to have those back. Just the fact that a $1600 smartphone keeps glitching and freezing is simply OUTRAGEOUS. Using media apps like YouTube, Netflix, HBO etc. has become a huge pain in the butt, the phone starts going ... MoreSo I'm repeating myself here, since my original review never got published (despite the email I got saying that it was)I have had almost every Samsung flagship since the Galaxy S4 and loved them all.

I'm not gonna ramble on about the headphone jack and the SD card slot that we lost quite some time ago, although it would be nice to have those back. Just the fact that a $1600 smartphone keeps glitching and freezing is simply OUTRAGEOUS. Using media apps like YouTube, Netflix, HBO etc. has become a huge pain in the butt, the phone starts going crazy jumping from one screen to another as soon as I leave these apps. During the first month with this phone I couldn't even open HBO because it kept crashing. It seems that Samsung simply launched an underdeveloped and very raw piece of technology, apart from that putting on it the highest price tag ever, greedy much? And there's lots of rumors about the S23 Ultra which is suddenly all the hype, a polished and improved version of S22, which should have been there in the first place. Also, what happened to the double SIM slot?? My S21 Ultra had it, but after upgrading I find out that I can't use both my personal and work SIM at the same time? My provider charges an additional monthly fee for using e-SIMs, who's going to compensate that? I run my own business, work almost exclusively from the smartphone and travel a lot, so that's another HUGE issue for me.... Impatiently waiting to trade in this piece of crap for the next model, hopefully Samsung will have the decency to accept their mistakes and offer very good trade-in conditions. However, if the next model doesn't meet expectations I will be forced to part ways with Samsung... other brands have already caught up with the technology and offer the same (or better?) quality products for a fraction of the price
