detailedReviews: detailedReviews 1: content: How fast and smoothly the system runs. The customisation. As always with Samsung devices. Most of all the ability to connect to other devices seamlessly! However due to all these things I find my self endlessly scrolling through apps and settings (which I guess is your goal) however 30% of that time is spent worrying about which app is unsafe or if my device has been hacked as it runs do fast 🏃♂️ I sometimes find myself feeling like I'm in a race against malware to remove it from my device. This however nay just br a simple case or my own personal "paranoia". I Would really like to just factory reset my phone at times and only download the apps I feel I need. The reason for this is simple. After using smart switch which BTW is fantastic, downloading countless apps some of which I don't even use, aswell as the aforementioned speed of the system ui. To put it simply... It can be overwhelming. However this is a nit pick and also most likely due to the fact I went from the A14 to the Samsung Galaxy s22. I love Galaxy devices they are an absolute gem 💎 in the modern age of technological advancements. I just wish thier was a button built in that removed everything I didn't want without worrying about loosing data. Overall I have given this device a 5 star rating. Lastly I would like to inform you that for a user like myself and many others the option of Gemini vs Google Assisant or Which default assistant to use is very hard to decide as I feel I have no incline on which one I should be using. Thanks very much samsung for creating this device all the from the Heads to tbe Devs and the factory workers assembling the devices to the janitor sweeping the floors as Samsungs headquarters I think you all and would like you too know I and millions of others. Are both thankfully and great full to have you in this technological world.🌎 📲
Yours sincerely - Stewart Knox

detailedReviews 2: content: Purchased this phone at a massive sale price and although I was skeptical at first, I have no regrets so far.
Pros: The camera quality is great, the phone is super fast in performing all functions, 5G, very user-friendly and pleasant UI, speaker is loud enough, and of course the unbeatable Samsung display - clear and bright, with vivid colors. Streaming HD videos is awesome. Also love the compact size, I am not a fan of over-sized phones.
Most online reviews state the major con as battery life but I have had no problems so far. The battery takes me a full day on a single charge, but I don't game so maybe not a heavy user. I listen to music, stream the odd video now and then, and do other everyday functions, and it is synced to my smart watch with bluetooth all day as well. You must charge it everyday though, it won't last >1day on a single charge. Has never overheated. Charges fast wireless or wired.
Con: The one con for me is the slippery body. I dropped it in the first week but thankfully had a screen protector on. So get a screen protector and grippy case with purchase.
100% would recommend if you are an average phone user that likes taking pictures and also likes compact, normal-sized phones powerful enough for all tasks.

detailedReviews 3: content: This review is for "Restored Samsung Galaxy S22 5G 128/256GB SM-S901U1 Unlocked Cell Phones" bought from walmart (4.5 stars)
Pros: Delivered pretty fast from California, packaged well in white box. has IMEI%23 labeled outside so I dont have to open the phone to search. Phone as new one no scratch front back except minor dings at side. Dark green almost like black. Very slim and handy that lady likes, only about 5mm long than my iphone SE, camera is great. Price is great for less than 200. The phone I got is Verizon unlocked, since I use their MVNO, the SIM card immediately worked without having to call their service rep. AI told me that "S901U1" works for Verizon.
Cons: battery becomes hot very soon even that I didn't open any heavy APP. It's hard to shut down when you keep pressing the power button. Settings are hidden unless you swipe down from the top right corner. Pin has to be 6 digit or longer otherwise you have to press OK to open the phone. Not that human friendly compare to iphone. alarm clock automatically set to repeat every week? non-English language keyboard is a little awkward so I download google Gboard to fix.

detailedReviews 4: content: I upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy S22 for two reasons: better storage and quality photography. Since delving into reviewing products, I needed a phone that could take and store lots of photographs and videos. I paid to upgrade to 256GB of storage, and still have plenty of space after a year of heavy storage. This is a powerful phone- more like a full-built PC on-the-go. The performance rivals my desktop, with high speeds and decent RAM. The camera can record in up to 8k, has a very useful stabilization feature, and has 3 different lenses built in: 0.6, 1x, and 3x. Director's view allows the user to simultaneously record using the front and rear camera. For pictures, portrait mode helps focus foreground images while blurring background. The images are mostly clear and sharp. And nightmode provides well-lit and defined photos. That being said, it struggles to focus during full-body shots. While some cameras may include built-in features to automatically saturate colors and increase contrast, the photography colors are quite true-to-life with this phone. I've included 4 pictures for reference. There is also no headphone jack, which limits my ability to use corded headphones and transport music to my not-so-hitech car. So, if you're looking for a phone with a lot of storage, a camera that can shoot realistic footage in 8k, and prefer wireless headphones, this phone is worth considering.

title: I upgraded my phone to the Samsung Galaxy...
detailedReviews 5: content: I am always leery about buying used electronics. You never know if you get the one that was barely used, and the person is just a serial upgrader every time a new model comes out. OR, if the item was traded in because it was malfunctioning, and wasn't spotted before being resold.
Not the issue here so far. Tested every feature that I would actually use and it runs smoothly and quickly. From a full charge in the morning before I go to work, and with moderate usage throughout the day, it is generally down to about 80% by the time I go to bed (usually between 1:30 and 2:00am). I am upgrading from a much earlier model Galaxy and the camera (both still and video) quality is spectacular comparatively. Particularly in low light. Verizon SIM card transferred over without issues and that Samsung transfer app was a God send for getting all of my stuff (including pix, wifi passes, etc. . . . . ) over to the new phone. The lack of an SD slot makes me a bit nervous, but this one is the 256 gig model so hopefully, I won't have to do much relocating of files, images and videos over to my PC with the space that there is on here.
Physically, the phone was in pretty good shape. Though there were a few minor scuffs on the back, the glass for the screen AND the camera lenses were flawless. And, I always use a case/holster anyway, way back since the old flip phone days. So, I will never actually SEE the body of the phone anyway.
All in all, up to this point, I feel like the investment was good. There is 90 days worth of warranty so if I stumble across something that is a deal breaker, I can return it. If you are looking for a phone that won't cost as much as a cheap automobile, this "renewed" option may be something you can look in to. I will be trying it again when it is time to make another upgrade.

detailedReviews 6: content: I waited for some time to leave this review as some customers stated that phones started working worse in a few months. I got the S22, the phone was unlocked, it was properly packaged, and there were scratches on the phone, as expected, as the phone was previously owned. While booting (which was done in the summer), the phone overheated, but it was a one-time thing that happened during the setup. The camera gets laggy and hot if in use for a long time(like a realllly long time). Overall, the CPU used with this model has the issue, so overheating is not a big deal or a surprise. During everyday life, it works great, takes good pictures, and sounds okay; the fingerprint sensor works fine, and so does the face recognition. The only thing I am not very sure of is if the phone is waterproof, but it's easy to check; I just need to meet a technician. Overall, it is a good product with enough value for the price. It came with a cable AND a charging block that gives super fast charging. I wasn't expecting it, but it was nice to get. Overall, battery life is okay; my previous phone worked almost the same, so nothing too bad for me. Also, I have turned on the battery limitation (it can only charge up to 85% now), and I still go through 2/3 of the day. I always have a charger by my side and never really drained the battery, but I guess it would go through the day with constant use.

detailedReviews 7: content: Cosmetically, I would describe the phone as "excellent" rather than "like new," but I'm very pleased with the purchase and would buy this phone again. There were only a couple minor physical imperfections that would differentiate this phone from a new one. Most importantly for me, it functions much better/faster than my old phone that it replaced. The battery life isn't the longest, but it lasts all day with typical use and is about what I'd expect from a Samsung phone. I'm especially pleased with the camera. It's great being able to take such clear photos with a phone! The phone came with a charger, but I bought a protective case and screen protector separately.

detailedReviews 8: content: I bought this as a replacement for my son. His previous phone was 5 years old and had become obsolete. With that kind of track record, I was certain whatever device would be appreciated. Alas, the cost of a new device is astounding and disgusting. I took a risk buying this refurb unseen, but Wal-Mart has a decent record of receiving returns. The device has wear and tear on the body, the screen is clean and clear. As far as I can tell, it works great. I've heard no complaints or issues. I recommend not only purchasing a refurb but also this seller.

detailedReviews 9: content: I recently purchased the refurbished Samsung Galaxy S22 5G in green, and I’m quite impressed. The phone looks and functions like new, with some visible signs of wear. The 6.1-inch display is vibrant and clear, making it great for streaming videos and browsing the web. The 128GB storage is ample, however 256 Gb could have been better.
Performance-wise, the S22 is speedy and responsive, thanks to its powerful processor. The camera quality is excellent, capturing sharp and detailed photos even in low light. Battery life is decent, lasting me through a full day of moderate use.

detailedReviews 10: content: Over all decent phone. I am really happy about the price and overall qulity. The quality is fantastic, I apreshiate the care and the amount of packageing. I also aprshiate that they included a sd tool to get the card out. My two gripes are that the battery was dead on arrivle and the fact it is saying it will take 3 hours to fully charge. I dont know if this battery life will last longer then my old phone however. Please take this with a grain of salt. I also got to say that the s22 is not much of a upgrade from the s10 and im a bit disaponted that this is the best samsung can do. Im just happy the price is right on this product. Also thank you for providing a charger.

detailedReviews 11: content: It's a real step up from my S9, especially the camera, especially 3x wide mode for close ups of small things.
But the battery time between recharges and also the fingerprint sensor is a major step down. Needs a charge in the afternoon if I've used it heavily that day. So I got a power pack and that helps, but it's a shame I needed to do that.
As for the fingerprint sensor, it just doesn't work half the time. S22 locks you out if you try repeatedly, and then you have to wait a while before it lets you try again.
It came in almost-like-new condition but not in original packaging, no clear plastic protecting the glass, and without the quick start guide, which is downloadable (and I didn't need it). What I needed was the Samsung Smart Switch app, which sync'd my S9 apps, though not my app data. For example my voice-recorder data is still stuck on the old phone, not sure how to get that moved.
Another minus was I couldn't get real accident insurance from Samsung or my carrier so I would have to go with 3rd party. Too much fine print for me to believe it's any good, so I'm `self-insured'. if I break the screen, it's never going to have any trade-in value and then I'll be looking for another refurb in the $400 price range. Better than paying like $200 for insurance and possibly deductibles for the next few years.

detailedReviews 12: content: Renewed unlocked phone sold by Olympic in Excellent condition.
First off, it is in excellent condition. Or close enough for me anyway. The phone looks new except for a small scratch on the back that shouldn't be there, according to Amazon's description of "Excellent". But it was going in a case and like most people I mainly care about the screen, which is scratch-free and looks mint.
The phone is unlocked, but it's a Verizon carrier unlocked model SM-G991U, NOT the factory unlocked model SM-G991U1. I asked the seller about this before purchasing, but they didn't respond until a week after I already had the phone. Their late reply was "This item is fully unlocked to work with all carriers". It's not an issue with this particular phone, because there were no differences in features from different carriers, but definitely something to be aware of. Ultimately I don't care and had no problem adding a T-Mobile eSIM and it updated with their firmware.
This is my second time buying an Amazon Renewed phone. The first time I received a locked phone (from a different seller), but Amazon makes it easy to return for a refund and there's no real risk. So I didn't mind trying again and overall THIS phone looks good and works well, so I'm happy, enough, with THIS renewed purchase.

detailedReviews 13: content: Just beware, scratches on the screen are apparently considered excellent condition. I purchased two of these S22 refurbished phones in "excellent condition" and one of them has scratches on the screen. Attempts to contact are met with silence and dead links. One of the scratches is right center of the viewing area and very annoying. Due to needing phones and nobody able to remedy the situation, I was forced to use the phone. Very displeased with the lack of honesty and customer service... So yourself a favor and get it from Amazon in excellent condition for less than you get it here... At least if there's an issue through Amazon you can send it back for replacement or refund. A screen replacement will cost well over $200.

detailedReviews 14: content: My husband and I both ordered the phantom gray S21 from thegadgetdeals. His came first, and it was perfect, so I was really excited about mine. However, when mine came, it was so scratched up and bumpy on the back that I did not feel it met the excellent condition it was described as. I returned the phone and ordered a replacement. (One thing I will say about thegadgetdeals is that I never had any issues with their customer service, and they always worked with me. )
My replacement came and everything looked good until I turned it on. The bottom right of the screen had dead pixels that wouldn't light up no matter how I tried to troubleshoot. I had to request a refund and then order again (couldn't get a replacement for an already replaced one).
The third one came, and everything seemed perfect. I had already started getting the phone set up when I realized that the bottom speaker was not working at all no matter what I tried. So I returned again and was about to give up and try to find a new one to purchase.
I decided to give it one more go, and my FOURTH one came earlier this week. This one has been perfect so far, and I don't have any complaints with it. Renewed can be awesome, but be careful about the seller. Quality control seems to be the biggest issue.

detailedReviews 15: content: I like how customizable the screen is,Samsung phones from what I can tell seem to have a lot more features that apple does not. This is coming from a long time Apple user, I've been using Apple phones since they first came out and I finally just got tired of paying such a high price for the exact same phone. They never change anything really. No matter how much they hype it, all they do is change is the chip. So to the important things with Samsung. You have the edge bar which I use a lot. Your phone is 100% more customizable. The battery seems to be the same on all cell phones. the camera however, is way better. I know this because my boss mentioned that the photos I sent him look spectacular, far better than any photos I've been sending him with the iPhone. So this is pretty good for a refurbished used phone from Samsung. I just ordered the Samsung S23 Ultra, brand new. So we'll see how that phone is. I'm thinking it's gonna be 10 times better than what this is. its a great phone to start with if you want to switch over. Get out of the apple ecosystem. The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because there's certain apps. I can't download that I had before. And that's because the shady frs at apple have exclusive rights to certain app so, not samsung's fault. Still disappointing that I can't use apps that I was using regularly with apple on samsung.

detailedReviews 16: content: Samsung S22. Never heard of Cex. Lad at work recommended them. Me a complete novice with second hand phone. Also known as preloved! So I thought I'd give it a go and to be honest this phone was beyond me. So I thought I'd ask my neice and then we were off to the races. She took control and downloaded an app to transfer old Samsung data to newer Samsung S22 and then copied everything over.
I didn't know the difference between A,B, or C at the start. But personally speaking I want showroom quality and this means selecting grade A. So I am very pleased with my grade A. Price too is excellent compared with brand new Samsung. So as a complete novice buying second hand phones and swapping data over from old phone to new I asked the younger ones to help me out and they did. So win win with lady sales assistant in the shop Top marks all around . Thanks to all for helping me get a new phone as my old one was from 2016 !
5 star rating to everyone who has helped me with this and the phone quality for A is showroom quality. There was several hundreds of pounds worth of savings for me compared with brand new phone.
I would greatly recommend CEX as I had never heard anything about them or second hand phones before!!

detailedReviews 17: content: This is the 2nd S21 5G I bought in the past 10 months. I discovered yesterday that there's 2 different "Model Names" that can be easily confused but there's a huge difference between them. There's the SM-G991U & SM-G991U1. 991U is a US carrier Version that has been unlocked & renewed. The 991U1 is the officially bought from Samsung unlocked. The major difference is the connectivity to the cell towers. The 991U1 has a solid white, big 5G symbol & it's official 5G speeds. The 991U has 5G inside a box. When the box is filled it it is "5G". But when the box is empty the symbol still says 5G BUT. . . In reality it's connecting to a 4G LTE tower, which connects to a 5G tower. The Internet speeds between the 2 are totally obvious. Little disappointed that the 256GB I use now, is the 911U, which is NOT true 5G. But price was right, came in almost brand new condition, camera takes great pics, 1 tiny tiny scratch, but everything works just fine. So my 1 tiny complaint, still makes this phone worth the $298.

detailedReviews 18: content: Well everyone in Amazon land grab a beer or whatever your favorite refreshment is this might be a long review. The phone was advertised grade excellent. The only cosmetic issue there was a very small scratch above one of the camera lenses and you really have to fight to see it. The only real issue is the charger they sent was a slow charger meaning it would have taken 6 hours to charge my phone. The fix for that is to either buy a fast or super fast charger in what should charge your phone in about an hour and a half. As far as the cameras concerned unfortunately I've not been able to get out and about and test it out but I've heard they're supposed to be very very good and some of the pictures I've taken were fantastic. Sadly I can't post a picture of the phone or any pictures I've taken because I'm using the phone right now to do this review. But I would definitely recommend this company also as a side note there's no issue the phone was unlocked and I was able to effortlessly I put it on the Boost Mobile network. My name is jon and I approve this message.

detailedReviews 19: content: So after purchasing this phone it took a few days for it to deliver and it got delayed a day from its original delivery date. Not a big deal. The moment I received and opened the phone it looks great! The screen looks awesome. As an iPhone user I can see clear upgrades from my iPhone 11. Oled screen, 120 hz, bigger screen size, hole punch camera, only got it for $240 or so. The issue I have with this phone is I noticed the volume button doesn't work as well and likes to get stuck which is annoying. Also, the worst part about it is the sim card slot is like welded to the phone. How am I going to use this phone?? I have to stick to my iPhone because I can't use cellular data unless I get a esim card but I don't want to do that. I am honestly going to return this phone because it's pretty much a android iPod that I can only use at home. I recommend just buying a new samsung galaxy s23 and get on a payment plan or save up and buy the phone in full. The other scenario is if you happen to fall in this situation you could return the phone and get another one and bank on the fact it doesn't have the same issue or a new issue with it. For myself though I am just going to return it and save up for an iPhone 15 pro.

detailedReviews 20: content: I want to start my saying I've always been a HUGE fan of Samsung. I've had Galaxy phones since the original S1 came out, and even have all Samsung TVs and appliances in my home. However, I'm sad to say I think I'm going to be boycotting Samsung after my experience with the Galaxy S22. I received my order about a month later than I was originally promised, and the device is disappointing in nearly every way. All the negative reviews of the battery life are warranted. My previous phone was a Galaxy S20, and even after using it for hundreds of charge cycles over the course of 2+ years, the battery easily lasted twice as long as my brand new S22. I find I have to charge the S22 at least twice a day, which is, in my opinion, unacceptable for a brand new "flagship" smartphone. I wish I would have done some research before buying the S22, as I found out after it was too late, the specs are inferior to the much older S20 in more ways than just the battery. The screen is a lower resolution, there's no SD card slot, and the RAM is substantially less. (12GB on the S20, and only 8GB on the S22) I always bought Samsung Galaxy devices because they always had the most innovative, high performance devices on the market, usually taking Apple years to catch up, but it doesn't seem that's the case anymore, as Samsung's newest model doesn't even compete with their phone from 2 generations ago. I understand they're trying to make the standard S22 more affordable, but it would be nice if Samsung at least made the S22 "Ultra" in a normal size so customers can have the flagship performance, without being forced to have such a gigantic, tablet sized phone. (like the Ultra) Beyond my frustrations/ disappointment with the device itself, I also found out Samsung doesn't care about it's customers when it comes to warranty issues. One of my rear cameras failed 2 days after the 15 day return period expired, and Samsung told me I can either mail them my phone, or go to the nearest service center. Samsung will not provide a loaner phone and, like most people, I can't be without a phone due to work. So I was forced to spend most of my weekend and nearly a whole tank of gas driving back and forth to the nearest certified repair shop. Save yourself the trouble and look into getting a different brand's flagship, or track down a new/gently used S20, in my opinion, a better phone than the S22 at a fraction of the price. Sad to say, after being a die hard Samsung fan for over a decade, I'm done.

detailedReviews 21: content: Id like to start off by saying, it wouldn't be a huge issue if you are using a physical sim, however if you plan on using an eSim, just keep in mind the will have a persistent notification of no sim card installed. Also, important to note that Verizon doesn't have RCS texting, so if the alarm SIM card was from Verizon, you won't be able to use that feature. luckily I had one from a carrier that supported it, so was able to pop it in and unlock that feature. The screen did have some light scratches on it, but barely noticeable during use.
Next thing is to make sure you complete system updates, create or login in to your Samsung Account and get app updates. Phone works great and no major issues other than above. Phone works as described and came with accessories, though I didn't test the cable and brick (third party) as I already had one. Overall good experience. Would buy again, however, id make sure it was Factory Unlocked next time to avoid the Sim issues.

detailedReviews 23: content: This phone arrived (was picked up, rather) in excellent condition - visibly. It is clean, light weight, fast, functions well. It flows apps like Netflix and security cameras very well with fantastic clarity. Overall, it is a really nice phone.
The drawbacks:
- the battery life is miserable, requiring charging at least twice a day or more, and I rarely have Mobile Data or other power draw apps running
- the Hotspot icon is missing from the dropdown menu, and I found no means of adding it
- the Messages apps has the annoying "Subject: No Subject" error, and I have found no way to clear it. I have owned Samsung S3, S6, and S8, and never experienced this error before
My biggest problem is the vendor shipped the phone via FedEx who, for some reason, has NEVER DELIVERED A PACKAGE TO MY HOME CORRECTLY! I had to go the them to pick it up after two failed delivery attempts; however, I can't hold that against the vendor. Other than that, great phone!

detailedReviews 24: content: I was a bit hesitant to buy a refurb phone but this s22 that I got (from a 3rd party seller through Amazon renewed) has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. Granted it has only been 6 weeks of having the s22, but I really could not be happier. I bought this after my S9 screen started going bad for the second time. To be able to get a phone like this for 300 bucks is incredible. The only two downsides are from a manufacturing perspective. The fingerprint reader on the back of the S9 worked almost flawlessly, the one that is on the s22 is just part of the display and is horrible. Also, the mind boggling decision to remove the headphone jack is just ridiculous. Hopefully they bring that back. In spite of those two very poor design decisions, the phone has been fantastic and a nice upgrade from the S9 that I was using for the last several years.

detailedReviews 25: content: I've had this phone for a little over 1 year and I love it. It is durable. No scratches no cracks on the screen. The quality and the way the phone looks is amazing. I love the quality of what the pictures look like is. The camera is amazing. Takes wonderful high quality resolution photos. And you can zoom in. It holds enough Gb that I can save all my photos. Videos, games. Anything I need. You can edit photos create your own stickers. The battery life has gone down over time But I'm always around a charger so it's not a big deal for me.

detailedReviews 26: content: Let me start by saying I don't know much about phones, especially the latest greatest models out there simply because I refuse to pay more for a phone than I did for my first car. That being said, I had my last phone for a good 4 years before I had no choice but to get a new one. . . and I am so glad I picked this phone!
The size - exactly what I was looking for, not too small where I can't see anything but not too big to hold
The battery - lasts all day for me. Granted I'm not a teen glued to my phone 24/7 but I'm on it a fair amount
The memory - WOW. I guess I've really been missing out, my last phone had a whopping 12gb. . . to go from that to 128gb?? The possibilities are now endless for me
The speed - another thing I'm not used to, everything is immediate. Very rarely does the spinning circle appear and when it does I barely have time to register the fact that I have to wait because it's usually done before the thought's finished
Overall - if you're like me, not looking to refinance your home but want a decent easy to use phone, this is a great choice!

detailedReviews 27: content: I have had the Galaxy S22+ for about 3 weeks now and so far I like most of what the phone has to offer. The screen is crystal clear, it is really fast, and I am just learning how to use some of the features such as split screen which is really cool. Despite what many have said the battery life has been really good. I watch a lot of YouTube and other videos and I have battery left at the end of the day!
There are 2 items that I have found so far that denote the reduction of 1 star from the review, those are the finger print unlock function and the bottom speaker. To put it politely, the finger print scanner is just terrible, rarely ever works. I have deleted my finger print and performed the process again, turned up the increased touchscreen sensitivity, and still works terribly. This is very disappointing as I use that function on most all apps that require security. I previously had a Pixel 3xl, which is a 4 year old phone, and that fingerprint scanner worked flawlessly which makes this that much more disappointing.
Concerning the speaker, the bottom speaker will randomly sound like the speaker is blown. From my opinion it appears to be a software issue as you can restart the phone and the speaker works perfectly again. From some research I have done this has been an issue since the phone was originally released in 2022. I would think that Samsung would have been able to create a patch for this by now.
Overall I am so far satisfied with the phone and would recommend it if you are willing to deal with the few downfalls of the phone.

detailedReviews 28: content: I ordered the S22 refurbished to replace my S9. It was packaged well and out of the box, looked in great condition. There was just some plastic peeling on a corner, but with the phone in a case, it's never visible or an issue.
I've had the phone a month and half now and it works amazing. It's a major upgrade from the S9. The battery life is double what my S9 was at. i can easily go over 24 hours without a charge. . . longer, if I don't play my games as much as I do. I do not use Bluetooth or location services often, so I have those off 95% of the time, and I also don't make phone calls, so the battery life is dependent on playing games, using the internet and texting mostly. It was unlocked, as advertised, even though I messaged them prior to please double check, since there were reviews of them not being unlocked. I am on cricket, and it works with no issues.
No complaints. If you are looking to buy a used phone that won't break your wallet, this company is worth the shot.

detailedReviews 29: content: This phone has hardware or firmware issues and will randomly freeze and reboot. Frequently, it will get suck on the Samsung logo during boot, only to then go black and not turn on, or to reboot again, potentially getting stuck in a loop.
When it does work, it refuses to update the operating system. I tried installing updates through the phone itself, through adb on a terminal, and through Samsung smart switch. All failed.
The previous owners home screen apps are also burned into the image of the screen.

detailedReviews 30: content: Typically, it is very easy to get caught up in the next best product trends. Samsung has been so great with the available options offered for customers. Their adaptive, creative platforms allow customers so much convenience without the need for additional apps or research as the standard. From being able to use your phone as your tv's regular remote, to controlling your appliances from the palm of your hand with their SmartThings feature, you can be completely reassured and less stressed that you are in control. Whenever i purchase a product, if Samsung is an option, it's hard for me to be pursuaed otherwise.
This has been one of the most durable phones i have enjoyed for a consistent, extended amount of time. The flexibility of the phone, the customizations you can have, the camera features, and most of all the ability to stay connected to Samsung and any Samsung related products. Nearby share is an awesome feature, especially for large files. There have been SO MANY TIMES that the wireless power share has saved someones battery in situations of need. Samsung kids offers a great way to allow your children to use your phone without a need to change everything or put locks on individual areas of your phone just to allow them freedom to use it without invading your privacy. The S-Pen is also one of my favorite advantages for quick notes, camera control, and you can create some awesome real time 3D art/videography!

detailedReviews 31: content: Phone came wrapped in bubble wrap in a plain white box. I unwrapped it and could not find a single scratch or blemish. This thing looks perfect. Charged it and popped in my son's SIM from his 3. 5 year old Motorola. It rebooted and activated on Xfinity automatically. Transferred all of his stuff with the Samsung app and he's good to go! This has been a saga because Xfinity would not activate the brand new S23 FE he got on Christmas from BestBuy because it "wasn't compatible" with their network - even though they sell the exact same phone. I was hesitant to try another unlocked phone but this time it was so easy! Plus he was able to get an even better phone within budget, so everyone is happy.

detailedReviews 32: content: Part of me feels guilty for assessing so critically. I have a hand-held computer in my pocket that functions far beyond what we could have hoped for a decade ago.
Even so, this hasn't been an absolute win for me. This is my first Samsung phone in many years. I think the S4 or S5 may have been my last Galaxy. I've loved Moto phones for the last several years, and this definitely lacks some of the functionality that I've come to enjoy from Motorola: shaking for the flashlight, side button screenshots, hovering over for the time on lockscreen.
The camera is an improvement over my Moto Z4. And the processor does seem to be quite effective. But the battery is far weaker than I was expecting, and I'm a little worried about how bad it may get after a year or two of use if it's this much of a challenge now (6 weeks of use). Additionally, the fingerprint sensor is very finicky. I'm guessing I have about a 30% success rate with it. I have a screen protector on, which may be a factor, but it's the same brand of protector that I have used for years without issue on my Motos. (And I did try another brand of protector, but it brought the success rate down to about 5%. )
Set-up was more challenging than Moto set ups are. The Samsung app promised to reset my screen and everything, but I had to manually set it up after running the Samsung setup process. Perhaps it was challenged by having to move from a different brand, but I wasn't impressed. Samsung is supposed to be top of the line for Android, but I'll be seriously considering other options when this wears out. My hope is that Moto will catch up to industry standards, but if not, I may be willing to accept a slower processor in exchange for a better overall user experience. If I change my mind, I'll come back and update this review.

detailedReviews 33: content: Got it refurbished so you can't beat this price. My phone company wanted over $1,000 for this, some extremely happy that I got it from here instead. My only thing that's worth taking a star off is that every so often, the speaker sounds like hell. When I tell you, it sounds like it got wet and stayed wet for days. But I know I didn't get it wet though. It's strange because this problem always goes away Within maybe 10 or 15 minutes. Because of this, I haven't thought to send it back, I just hate having to return things. So sometimes I can't have the speaker phone on. I can hear fine talking without it so it's not that much of a concern. But it still sucks sometimes. Even on power saving mode the battery life is kind of a joke. It charges back up fast, so I'm willing to sacrifice that for a small, lightweight phone. Over all I'm happy with it.

detailedReviews 34: content: I pre-ordered the S22 Ultra in green in February of 2022 to replace my Note 20, which was my first Samsung phone. It's a wonderful phone. The green color is the most beautiful color I've ever seen on a mobile device. The curved screen is a little annoying at first, especially when the S-Pen slides off of the edge, but after a week I was used to it.
The S Pen is incredibly responsive. For the average user, there should be no perceptible lag. From journaling to creating beautiful art, it's an amazing little piece of tech that's made keeping organized so much easier.
The screen is bright and vivid. Sound is good enough. And the phone is powerful enough that I often have over ten different apps open at the same time, and experience no lag or crashing when switching back and forth between different apps.
The camera on the phone is also incredible, and in Pro mode I was able to take shots that were just as good as on a Canon EOS.
A case is a must. Without a case, the phone is a bit slippery in the hand. Due to its large size, it can be hard to hold on to. Samsung's cases are okay, but there are a ton of $12 cases you can find anywhere that will work better.
I recently pre-ordered the S23 in green, and though there are some noticeable upgrades, I actually think that I still love the S22 more - enough that I may return the S23 and stick with this one. It's beautiful, and still has years of good times in it for me. And, unless you're dead set on having the new cameras, the differences are so subtle that you shouldn't need to shell out for the fancier one.

detailedReviews 35: content: Purchased the S22 through pre order and must say I'm impressed.
It's a good size phone, any bigger and it would be a nuisance. I currently have an S20 5G also which is in perfect conditon.
For comparative purposes there is very little difference between photo quality of both handsets cameras, same goes for processor speed . The difference will be negligible for 99% of people.
Massive negative is no SD Card slot anymore, I'm still quite annoyed by this and I'm still contemplating if this will be my last samsung as it's a feature I don't want to be without in a phone, especially someone who does photography and takes 1000s of photographs.
Can confirm Glass Screen protectors are a waste of money with this device, the ultra sonic finger print reader won't work and I regret not having wasted $35 on one which I can't return.
Screen of this device looks amazing however I'm not convinced my S20 screen still looks more vibrant and colourful. The s22 screen is bright but the colours are somewhat flat.
5G is still very unreliable at this point unless you live in a 4/5Bar area of reception to a phone tower. I'm with Telstra which is the best for phone coverage in Australia however I suggest going to your settings at turning of 5G for now. You'll have a better experience and battery life.
Speaking of Battery at 3700mah, runs out very quick even with conscious use you will have to charge more than once a day which is disappointing.
All in all if you have an S10 series up and you don't need a new phone I'd say give it a miss as most improvements are negligible for most users, however if your in the market for a new one, best phone on the market currently.

detailedReviews 36: content: Having a phone that just crept along and never actually ran an app because I had 25 or so (I know, how could I?), I kept just screaming at it "could you please just be a phone for me today???!!!" was the "Night" to the purchasing of this phone's proverbial "Day". The expanded memory in this phone allows me to have all my previous apps AND actually process some of the apps too! Tech that works! I'm so excited.
The screen is almost edge to edge and that allows for the feeling that you are either Dr. Spock on the Enterprise, or Al from Quantum Leap as you can see, stream and look at the detail of everything and with amazing clarity and with better pixel density than the standard 1080p.
This phone holds its charge for ever, does everything so quickly, is 5g and was significantly less than a brand new one.
Best buy on a phone ever!

detailedReviews 37: content: So I wanted to wait a while before I wrote a review and see how the phone performed. I've always bought my phones new but with the prices of phones getting expensive I thought I'd take a shot on a used one. I always take care of my phones and actually hold on to them as long as possible. Well, my Samsung S7 Edge just couldn't keep up with technology. YES! I've had a Samsung S7 in 2023. It was/is in near perfect condition even to this day. It was sad to let it go, but it was getting too slow on some apps.
I bought this S22 and it's in perfect condition except for a small scratch on the glass. Only noticable during the day if you're really looking for it. Looking at the rest of the phone, you would think it was new. I have TMobile for service and I had no problem swapping out the SIM and transferring data. Since then it has performed flawlessly.

detailedReviews 38: content: Poor battery life, Unlocked phones - no visual VM, stop copy pasting your script/ template that you prepare for us users telling us what is wrong, there is no fix from your article.
Anyone reading this, this phone is NOT the one you should be excited about for the $. The battery life is horrible, really bad...even after going over the optimized settings. Samsung keeps going backwards, removing features and battery life on this in my opinion is the worst, battery life is everything, what good is there if your battery life can't make it all day for regular phone calls, regular browsing, texting and taking pictures ? I am not streaming or watching movies or even on 5G...imagine that! The best you can get is 8 hrs solid, maybe 10 if you set all the settings right for battery optimization and you are not on your phone all day long.
The other horrible thing is, if you get the unlocked phone, you will not have the visual voice mail working, that's a guarantee. What does SAMSUNG have to say about that? Nothing so far!
As of June 2022 that is the case. I am using the Samsung's built-in Visual VM app, and also tried the carrier (ATT) none works. I blame the carrier here mostly but Samsung should also be a bit transparent and honest letting their customer know all the facts before they buy. Because they know all these faults, this is not news for Samsung
*** Samsung reps, please read before copy pasting your pre-made script/template here. Samsung just need to apologize, take responsibility of your worst product, you are making it worse by not acknowledging, 99% of the feedback here says Battery, Battery, Battery.....you think the users don't know what to do and don't do... you are sending articles on Battery??
I do not want a stupid response from Samung regarding this fact comment

So many new and handy features attached make you go, yes, all phones should have this!
My experience after about a month of having the phone is its a great phone, very easy to use and intuitive to figure out. Very happy with its performance, both on technical aspects - good sound, camera, screen display etc; and on software and UI.
Only downside I have found so far is the battery runs out quickly if you have any extras on like Bluetooth, location etc. With the fast charging it's not that big of an issue, but yeah, that is something to improve.
All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase.

detailedReviews 40: content: For the longest time, I've always owned and used Samsung phones from the S series. With each an every new one that comes out, it only gets better.
This is apparent with this recent S22+ I purchased. Compared to previous years, my S22+ has majorly improved my daily life. The improvements to hardware and software make this phone a joy to have.
For one, the hardware has improved across all aspects, which in turn has improved my enjoyment.
For example, the cameras have improved tremendously over the past years. The addition of the telephoto zoom is also very fun to use. As an casual photographer, I appreciate having a high performance camera in my pocket.
Another great piece of hardware is the screen. In the past, I used to get the smaller model because it was easier to hold. However, this time around having the S22+ bigger screen size is a feature I am not willing to compromise. The size alongside the amazing quality and OLED display makes media a blast to watch.
The software has also improved over time. I am very satisfied with the recent updates to OneUI. It has made the phone more customizable and optimized.
Additionally, the Bixby assistant, to my surprise, has been a huge help in my day to day life. It is very easy to have Bixby create events, timers, reminders, and much more with the push of a button.
Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, and I look forward with anticipation to what Samsung has to offer in the future

detailedReviews 41: content: Overall, this phone is a DOWNGRADE from the Galaxy S6 I owned previously, even though I paid a much higher price for it. I know, I hung on to that phone a little too long, but the S6 was a great phone. My experience with this phone, the Galaxy S22, has been disappointing.
First the good... the battery life on the phone I got has been much improved over my old phone. One charge usually lasts me 2 or 3 days with normal use, closer to a day and a half with heavier use. I do appreciate the new software features that provide better power/data management capabilities.
Unfortunately, that's about all I appreciate. Right out of the box, it required a different charger than my old phone, but unlike every other phone I've ever purchased, this one did not come with a new charger. So I had to shop for and buy that extra.
It also does not have a dedicated audio port, so I had to shop for and buy an additional adapter that allows you to plug your audio into the charge port and still be able to also charge it at the same time. On top of that, it has been a huge hassle to plug everything together whenever I've wanted to play music through my truck's audio system. I don't listen to music on my phone in my vehicle nearly as much as I used to.
The camera in the S22 doesn't have a macro focus function, which I used frequently on the S6. They decided to make that something you have to pay extra for.
I DID NOT like how I was all but forced to start using Bixby when I was not the least interested in using it. I'm sure it's a perfectly nice app, but I discovered it the first time I tried to restart my phone. It was set up by default by Samsung to override the restart button. Instead of restarting the phone, it kept insisting I should use Bixby to "help" me with whatever it is I'm trying to do. Ooookay... what if all I really needed to just restart my [expletive] phone? I spent a half-hour searching online for how to disable it.
Finally, I really miss the easily accessible wake-up button on the front of the phone. Now I always have to fumble around with the phone to find that button recessed on one side of the phone. What a hassle.
My next phone will likely NOT be a Samsung, I just think they're going downhill.

detailedReviews 42: content: Phone wouldn't read SIM, tried everything the manufacturer and service provider recommended but nothing worked. Checked IMEI, it was clean but reported that it was still registered as a Verizon phone, not factory unlocked. Thought the phone must have still been locked into a plan or something, asked for a refund and the seller was super quick to respond and accept the refund. Fast forward over a month and I haven't had a chance to send it back but I read on a forum that Verizon automatically unlocks it's phones after 2 months, so I try again. Same issue. So I look at the IMEI again and I see that it brings up a different model number than the phone does. Checked into it and it turns out the seller flashed the factory unlocked OS onto the phone so thought the OS may be corrupted and not reading the SIM. I was planning to use Metro by T-mobile anyway so I flashed the Metro OS onto the phone. Still same issue. So at this point the only thing it could be is a hardware not software issue. Start looking into what it takes to test or replace the SIM reader hardware and while browsing images I notice that the Sim tray for the S22 online is different from what I have in my phone. Mine has the SIM tray for the S21. So I ordered a new SIM tray, came the next day and other than Sim orientation it is identical to the one I have. Tiny little mistake by the seller caused this huge headache, but I'm glad I did send it back because I have an awesome S22 at a great price from these guys. But please, check the little details guys.

detailedReviews 44: content: There are so many things I am disappointed with in this phone that I'm not sure where to begin. 1. Opening the phone when it's locked - super annoying. The facial recognition doesn't work. You have to hold the phone at just the right angle and be looking with just the right facial expression for it to work. The finger print scanner is the worst. If your finger is not in just the right spot and at just the right angle on the scanner, it won't recognize it. So I am basically back to 2010 typing in my passcode every single time.
2. If your battery accidentally dies, and you plug the phone in to charge, it doesn't restart itself when it has enough charge. Then when you remember to power it on, it will not connect to the cell towers and start receiving calls/texts until you put in your passcode. It basically takes 10 minutes of babysitting it to get your phone back. And if you forget to put your passcode in after it restarts, then tough luck you will be incomunicado for hours until you realize it.
3. I, like many millenials, use my alarm clock on my phone to wake up the morning. I can't tell you how many times i've accidentally turned off my alarm instead of snoozing it. The interface on the clock/alarm for this phone is not intuitive or useful.
4. The vibrate isn't very good. I can barely feel it if it's in my pocket, and if it's in my purse I definitely do not know i've received a call. My old phone I could feel my whole arm vibrate when I had my phone in my purse and got a call.
SO basically, the screen is beautiful, the camera is nice, but everything else about this phone is annoying.

detailedReviews 45: content: I am really disappointed. I was upgrading from an s8 due to poor battery and storage running out, i was excited to have a better camera. The camera is the only thing ive used the s22 for. When i tried to switch everything over the NEW phone told me it didnt have enough storage. !!??!! Apparently sd cards are no longer a thing. Also there was no earphone socket meaning id have to shell out for some new accessory completely unnecessarily, a waste of plastic and a fake demand. In addition there's no button on the side to wake up/sleep the phone. I don't like it at all and am currently still using the old s8.

detailedReviews 46: content: I have the A25 and wanted to upgrade, and everyone said this was so much better, and it's not. The phone is really disappointing. The setup, looks, and everything is identical to my A25. The only thing is that the camera quality's slightly better. If you are looking to buy this, just get an A25(which is also bigger than the S22) unless you really want/need slightly better camera quality. I'd just save your money and purchase yourself the A25.

detailedReviews 48: content: I'll get straight to the point. The price is amazing. The phone is in near perfect condition, being a esthetically next to flawless, save for a couple miniscule scuffs on the aluminum railing. The S22+ itself is very fast, reliable and lives up to what is stated on the product page.
The one big red flag here is the "unlocked" part. The phone will accept any carrier, such as my T-mobile SIM card, and function as advertised. However, this phone is currently running on Android 12, which is not up to date, and many different attempts at updating manually have been complete failures. The device was originally a Verizon locked phone before becoming unlocked, which means the IMEI is still registered to said carrier.
After speaking with various tech support people, I've been told this: Amazon says the issue is with Samsung or Verizon. Samsung says the issue is with Verizon. Verizon says the issue is with Samsung. No one was able to provide me with a software update, which means this device I bought has no future software update support whatsoever.
To summarize my review: If you don't mind having a device without the possibility of future updates, then this phone is perfect and works as advertised in every other way.

detailedReviews 49: content: I'm in the probationary period with a first time Samsung product, and with more use I'm getting more convinced to return it and get another brand:
- 4 system updates within 24 hours of receipt
- I set up biometrics at the start, and after the 4th system update, I had to set it up again as it wouldn't recognize the fingerprints. I hope is this isn't a continual annoyance.
- UGLY HOME SCREEN and Samsung expects the solution is get a 3rd party app that give wide storage access to fix what other manufactures do out of the box! I know what the apps are on my home screen. I don't need the names underneath cluttering the screen, and it's unreasonable that Samsung relies on extended app suppliers to fix what should be in Settings.
- the Samsung keyboard is too tall and takes unnecessary space.
- I turned on aggressive spam blocking and am receiving more spam calls than the prior phone. Apparently, I didn't know how good I had it.
- Samsung spams. I avoid apps that pop up adds to buy, why does Samsung think they need to?
- It's been less than a day and I miss my flashlight gesture. Yes, I can get a 3rd party app to do it, but why isn't this built in? Just one more app to add to get on par with more adds :(
- So far the phone is fast, but other manufactures are too.
All the above is in less than 14 hours and I was asleep 8 of those. Perhaps the underlying hardware is top notch, but the user interface is behind the competition.

detailedReviews 50: content: I have had this phone for over a year. Had to buy a new one when the old one was no longer updating, and just went with the next in the Samsung line. It has met the standard expectations for an Android phone. I don't require a lot of bells or whistles, but do occasionally watch YouTube TV on it and have synced it to my tv and like that it automatically connects to my personal computer. Typing texts, etc. using a full keyboard is nice! It has good sound quality when listening to music. I prefer a smaller phone, so I do like the size of this one. The only thing I haven't liked is it doesn't keep a solid connection with my new vehicle, which requires cable connection and Android Auto. While it could be the cable, I've tried several, including a brand new one. I had the dealership check the car port; it was fine. It loses connection if the phone moves, which makes me think it's the phone not the car. Finally, I've recently had problems with webpages opening in Google Chrome (my preferred browser) wrong size/zoom view. I can fix to fit to screen, but it's annoying to do this every time. This is probably a software update glitch rather than being phone-specific.

detailedReviews 52: content: I've owned the S22, upgrade from S9, for a year now and only have 2 complaints; 1st complaint S9 has a blinking light to let you know you have a notification, S22 does not which means I have to turn screen on every time I'm away from phone for more than half hour and 2nd complaint is a few months back this phone started to freeze up very frequently and has last several minutes. I have done research and all I find is about added apps, apps running in background and a few ways to supposedly fix issue. I had not added any apps, I always close all apps so none is running in the background and I have done all the supposedly fixes except factory reset and the problem has not been fixed. This is very frustrating and really annoying especially when I need to do something quick but can't because it's frozen AGAIN. Really wish I had just kept my S9

detailedReviews 54: content: This was my first Samsung phone since the original Samsung Galaxy S. I have been using Nexus and pixel phones ever since. I mainly gave this phone a shot due to it's size.
Over all I am definitely going to trade this in within the year.
Missing features:
Ultimately I can live with it but i disappointed in the lack of some features I assumed were standard in this day and age, like visual voice mail. I can't fathom why this was left out.
People are saying the ultrasonic reader is better. I can't imagine how bad the optical one must be because this one is slow and works less than half the time. The hardware ones off the screen are far superior. Also you can only safe 4 fingerprints! After my 2 thumbs and 2 index fingers that leaves nothing for my significant other, or even the hack to register the same finger to help accuracy.
Google Integration:
I didn't realize howal many features were exclusive to pixel phones. Namely, how well integrated they are with Google assistant. Bixby does not understand me most of the time. Reminders and notes do not translate to Google Calendar and Keep, they go to Samsung's crap that I can't see on my PC.
Again, I would have gone with the pixel 6 if not for it's massive size and *supposedly* worse fingerprint sensor.

detailedReviews 55: content: I've carried a Galaxy phone of the S-series since my 1st Samsung purchase of a Galaxy S-9. I've owned each successor to that phone, up to this current S22+. It's outstanding. I'm without a doubt an abusive person to my devices, and this model is holding up great. The style, white back panel, camera placement, and hard keys are all expertly located, and situated to be rugged. The 1 downside, that I'm not sure is better on any other device, are the micro scratches I accumulate on the screen. I refuse to install a protector, so, likely my fault. I literally have this phone operating 24/7, without exaggeration, I have it streaming the news all night, every night, while I sleep, for background noise. It never overheats, or misses a beat. It pairs perfectly with my watch 4 and buds pro, truly intuitive and a simplifier of life. I've played with the others, some Androids, others made by fruit companies, but, nothing compares. It's the whole 9 yards, and you'll actually get the elusive 10 yards if you pair it with the wrist and ear wearables.

detailedReviews 56: content: This is my personal phone. I like to be OS agnostic and since my work phone is an iOs device, I like to keep the personal phones Android. I was fwd up with the glitches on my previous Pixel device and wanted something that was well built and just worked. The S22 is that. It is class leading in build and features and is small enough to fit in my cycling jersey back pocket. I like the water resistant rating as well. There are only a few gripes I have. I wish I could make Google apps core apps. I'm not as invested in the Samsung universe. Another was that i the screen developed a small scratch... I had never experienced that with my prior phones. This brought on the biggest negative. Adding a screen protector really affected the performance of the fingerprint sensor... It is unusable with it on. I really don't mind having it on the back or somewhere else... In screen sensors seem to be more a bragging right for manufacturers than useful. They aren't ergonomic, they add smudges to your screen and they are slower... Otherwise it is a pretty great phone.

detailedReviews 57: content: It's a good phone. Does everything you want it to. And more. Samsung have always been great phones and I've always loved them over anything else on the market and ive been usuing them since 2012. But lately the galaxy phones are slipping, and samsung have fallen into apples trap of releasing the same phone every year.
The camera gets better, and on this one t's brilliant. but there's been no vast improvements or gamechangers in in these phones since the galaxy s8. Its just little improvements, year on year. Or moving buttons to make it 'better' When it actually makes it worse. The volume buttons were better on the other side,where they are now just makes no sense. Or loosing the 'bixby' button too. Put them back over the other side, and stop giving buttons multi functions. Its not intuitive, just annoying when youre trying to do a screnshot and it tries to turn the phone off instead. Its Really stupid. Leave that crap for iPhones. If we wanted those features we'd all be simpletons walking round with apple products.
And the big lump over the camera just makes it a dirt trap, whilst also making it a pain in the backside to clean, especially when everytime you take you phone out to take a photo you need to clean it cos it's dirty again. I can understand why it's there, to protect the cameras. But it's such an eyesore and so annoying
The battery life is awful too. My old galaxy s10's battery would last from 4.30 in the morning till around 6 pm, using it all day. Where as the s22 needs to be recharged by midday. Why does that happen ? They're near enough the same phone and I use them both the same. That's awful
Like I said at the top the phone is really good. But not as great as the old ones used to be. I had a brilliant deal on this knee when I brought it so value wise its actually really good, but unless things get better This may be my last one.

detailedReviews 58: content: If I could give it no stars, I would. This atrocity has several downsides that make it not worth having at all. Along with the lack of an SD card slot, there are other issues I've found with this device. Figuring I could manage temporarily without the SD card slot while I work toward repairing my current device, I got the S22. In the time I had it, I noticed the battery was a joke (and not a funny one either). Not only did this device drain the battery at an intense rate, I also found that continuing with a phone call while the phone was on the charger was problematic. The phone would get quite hot quickly. This phone is better off being recalled. My S20+ has a much better battery, the expandable memory, and it can be used on the charger without overheating. I have an S8+ that also has a good battery in it (since I replaced it), an SD card slot, and it also doesn't have the overheating issue. Samsung really needs to get it together and go back to manufacturing quality devices such as the S20 series phones. The S22 is far below the level of quality Samsung has become known for and needs to be recalled and replaced with something better. I will never recommend the S22 to anyone.

detailedReviews 59: content: Ive owned both iPhone and Samsung in the past, and the things I love about this Galaxy S22 is all the features I'm missing out on my iPhone. The iPhone 14 and the Galaxy S22 shared the same price, and you're getting so much more with the Galaxy S22. The amazing high refresh rate display with that single camera at the top instead of a notch, a bezeless screen, USBC versus lightning port, 3 cameras versus 2, and so much more. It feels like you're getting the iPhone Pro phone, except this one offers way more value. I never had an issue with my Galaxy S22, and I loved everything about it. I love the amazing customization features, and gladly, my Galaxy S22 is getting 4 years of software updates!! Battery life on this phone in my opinion is a little weaker than my iPhone, but realistically, it gets me through every day with a little bit battery left to spare. The design in the S22 is so pretty! It's such a refresher to see something that looks cool, rather than my iPhone 14 looking like a dumbed down version of the iPhone 11. Overall, my Galaxy is fantastic, and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Other than that, it's a great phone and I will reorder another one. Maybe a different vendor this go round.

detailedReviews 61: content: My buying experience:
I saved and worked all summer to finally get my first phone. After hours of research and determining what phone would be best for my needs I ended up getting the A32 4G. 5 months later I get a text saying my phone will no longer work when 3g shuts off. We got a phone in the mail that was suppose to equivalent to the A32 however the phone we got was only worth $80! No one told us that my phone would shut off in 5 months at the Samsung store when we bought it so my grandma, mom and I called Samsung and atnt several times along with visiting different stores 5 times. Everyone but one person said my phone would still work. Trusting the workers I kept my phone. AFTER the free storage upgrade for the S22 series was over my phone stopped working and I missed out on that opportunity from Samsung employees giving me miss information. I'm 16 and I don't just have money to throw around. I ended up buying it with trade in but very disappointed that I had too.
My review on the phone:
Although the phone has a great camera and a beautiful exterior the cons dramatically out way the pros. 5G doesn't connect to anything. I have to sit in the middle of my english hallway just to text my mom. If I send more then one text at once only one will go though often leaving people confused. It will also send texts hours after I sent them or even tell me it didn't send when the other person received it. I'm convinced it's 5G because I often have one bar of service while my friends with the same network but 4G have 4 bars and my old phone would comnect. Finally the battery drops alarmingly fast. When doing my research I found that the S22 battery is smaller then my previous phones one however this one was marketed to be the best so I trusted the company. The battery is gone by the time school is over and I'm unable to text my mom to pick me up from sports. Battery saver helps but makes it seem like a way older model. Honestly this bothers me alot and with needing my phone for my summer job I'm really worried about trusting it when I go back to work.
Thank you so much for reading this I know it was alot but I really appreciate it.<3

Other than these problems the phone is in great condition with no visible scratches. Was fine with the battery, but the crackling speakers are really bothersome and I don’t want to spend another 100$ to have them fixed.

detailedReviews 63: content: Man, I really do want to love this phone. It has an extremely good camera (imo, better than any other except the s22U and now iphone 14 pro max), great performance, screen, and looks great. I loved my S6 from a few years ago so I thought I'd love this as much. But...
Battery life is biggest complaint. It's bad right out of the box. I'm scared for how bad it will be after a year or two of usage. I can only make it through the day with low use. My work around is to keep it in power saving mode at all times. That helps a ton and battery is fine, but there are moments I can tell it isn't performing as high because it's in that mode.
Second, audio volume doesn't go as high as my old S6 or my wife's iphone XR. And you better believe I've looked and enabled every setting I can find to increase it (including developer options stuff). It's just not as loud. For most people who don't like blasting music, you probably won't care, but this is honestly a huge con for me, especially in my car. I read a thread that they cheeped out on the audio amp or something? That sounds so stupid for a flagship phone if it's true.
Of course, no headphone jack sucks and I am here to complain. Everyone said it's no big deal, you'll just get used to bluetooth/dongle, etc. But nah, it sucks. Especially because battery life is low. I've had a few times I had to choose between charging OR listening to music. And no I don't want to have to ALSO carry around a double dongle. And yes, I DO have wireless headphones, but I don't like using them all that much, plus I have to worry about keeping them charged too.
I just bought this 4 months ago, but I'm already back on the market looking for something better. Maybe the new Sony 5 IV or Asus phone? Tbh I'm even considering iphone 14 max bc of how incredibly well rounded it is, but I really don't want to switch to IOS (plus, still no headphone jack lol).
Hate to give the s22 a 3/5 stars, but that's its reality.

detailedReviews 65: content: I recently purchased this product and liked it a lot. My previous phone was an S10e and I would use my company's phone, which was a S20. In comparison to the S10e. This phone blew up in comparison. It is faster, brighter and has more features. When compacting to the S20, it was smoother, a tad faster and the camera is amazing. Clear and more settings than my previous phones. I was happy with my purchase.
I mostly used my personal phone for streaming shows, movies and YouTube. So to know how bright the phone is and faster refresh rate, I am overall Content.
The slight set backs I'm having with it is the battery. The phone doesn't last as long as I would of preferred. Gotta have a portable a charger or my charger if I'm outside for long periods of time. I miss the micro SD feature as for the space is limited on my 128gb phone. They were all put of the 256gb models. This feature at least helped save space on my phone and made it accessible to get certain content out and still have storage.
I'm sure with the newer models these nice features will just get better.

The phone takes amazing pictures, performace is amazing and everything you need or want to do on it pops up super fast. The phone is slim and perfect size to fit in your hand. My fiance does carpentry and this phone is perfect size for him. It does have a smaller qwerty keyboard which they really like. Im writing this review because I do use it alot. I have my own Samsung phone but a higher up model. So compared to the one I have myself the S22 does pretty much everything mine does. The picture quality is amazing and all of the things it has on it.that you can do is perfect. I have recommended to many people about getting this phone because of everything it does for a great price. So if your looking for a great phone for yourself, kids or a loved one with amazing performance, pictures, quality and all around greatness this is the phone for you.

detailedReviews 68: content: I bought this phone as my memory on my Galaxy S9+ was running out. However, I don't notice any remarkable improvements. In fact, I would say the quality has gone down. For instance, the S22+ turns off randomly and at inopportune times. When I want to take a picture and open the app, the phone will shut off and can't restart for many minutes afterwards (up to 30 mins); so much for capturing the moment. Also, while charging, the phone will turn off. Want directions? Hope you brought your old physical maps because any map app will turn the phone off. The phone is just prone to turning off. I would not recommend.

This phone that I have now, the galaxy s22, needs to be charged 3X a day. It doesn't stay charged for nearly as long as it's competitors. The other downside is the camer quality. You would think with 4 camera you would be able to get at least one good photo on either side, right? Wrong. The backside camera takes a whole second to take a photo and by the time the photos is taken the memory or thing you're trying to take a photo of is done. The photo is blurry and its contents unrecognizable. My final issue, which may not concern everyone, is the riddance of the finger scanner on the back. I used that feature in samsung health nearly everyday. Two "upgrade" to a new phone and lose out on three major components of my previous phone is unacceptable. So in conclusion, if you think the deal on this phone is too good, you would be correct. Avoid at all costs and get an iPhone or an old galaxy since the new ones are becoming obsolete faster than they are.

detailedReviews 70: content: I took advantage of the black Friday deal Google Fi was running for the S22. I'll start with what I like...
I LOVE the camera. It takes really good photos and being able to take photos at twighlight or in darker settings is pretty nice. It's fairly quick as far as internet pages are concerned.
What drives me nuts is the battery does not last long whatsoever. This is not a phone to listen to music, stream, or talk (voice and video) on without being plugged in to a power source. With that, once the battery goes below 50% it runs a little slower and my wifi connection acts up. Definitely had to set my phone so it doesn't utilize data when offline. First month I didn't take note I lost wifi and paid a lot on data!
I also do not like how the voicemail is set up. You have to call your voicemail or rely on the inconsistent visual voicemail app. For an expensive phone, it's rather frustrating needing to jump through hoops just to access voicemail.
So it's not a terrible phone, but I would say it's fairly average. For buying it on sale it was worth it, but I wouldn't spend full price on this phone.

detailedReviews 71: content: Hi, I am a student studying in the United States. I prefer flagship Samsung over iPhone due to it's quick recovery from crashes, easy installation of apps, wifi connectivity and the Samsung UI is amazing.
I feel samsung should incorporate bringing in small features that help in the day to day work of a person(You can message me if you want me to tell more about the small features needed).
Samsung is Company that takes risks to create an innovative product. Even with setbacks, they don't give up which I find motivating.
I want Samsung to make their camera setup better. I love the Samsung phones however the camera's are a huge set back. I tend to use other camera apps to make excellent use of the camera.
I have been a Samsung member for more than a decade. I am much comfortable using a Samsung than any other phone. My house mostly have products from Samsung.
Thank you, Samsung for making mine and my family's life better with your products.

detailedReviews 74: content: DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! I pre-ordered this phone and excitingly waited for 3 weeks. I should have kept my Note 9. The great thing about this phone is that is so much smaller and that's what I was looking for. Bad life is horrible. The fingerprint scanner is dumb. I set up both thumbs and both indez fingers and it never reads them. I added a screen protector and changed the phone setting to be more sensitive with the screen protector, but this doesn't work. I'm always having to enter my passwords into all my apps now since the fingerprint sensor sucks. This should have come with a charger, at least a home charger with a usb port. Instead they give you a cord with double C's like if we actually connect our phone to someone else's every day??? It had a hard time transferring all Google passwords and only saves a few. I've had to log into my google account from my computer to get passwords to fill in my phone. I can't believe I have to pay $30 a month for 2 years on this thing. I wish I could take it back without a fee! Screen shots are weird. You have to hold the power button and volume down button at the same time for a screen shot. Both of these buttons are on the same side and next to each other. You can't take a screen shot without having to use both hands and hold the phone sideways to get both buttons next to each other. Sounds weird, but try it and you'll see.

detailedReviews 75: content: Good Points: This has all the features you want from a smart phone and is easy to navigate around the settings and apps.
The biggest feature on this phone is the camera quality which is fantastic! Being that it isnt the ultra version the camera still surprises me with how clear the photos are and the quality of them too. You have so many options to change settings which again is very easy to navigate around and means you'll always take the best photos.
Improvement Points: The battery life was fairly good at the start but as it is with anything rechargeable the battery life has started to decrease which is quite noticeable considering the phone is around 8 months old.
I also like the way the previous Samsung Galaxy had the screen slightly curve around the sides of the phone where this one does not which doesnt make it as sleek of a design in my opinion. It would be nice if Samsung went back to that older version of screen design for future phones.

detailedReviews 76: content: As a user who got a solid six years out of my S8 before the battery swelled up, I was reluctant to give it up. That said, after a couple weeks, my new S22 seems to be a solid replacement. I'd rate it at five stars, save for the omission of the earphone jack (I hate when "upgrade" means features and conveniences have been subtracted.) I do miss my S8's sleek "infinity screen", which I think blew away the iPhone's supposedly seamless design, but I'm guessing this wasn't important to most Samsung users, and water under the bridge. Of course, I dare to dream of repairable smart phones with replaceable batteries--like in the Before Times. But that's just crazy talk, right?

Strangely, this S22's battery life is really REALLY good compared to my friend's one, I don't know what magic rebuy has done but it is really good for a phone this small! ^^ Overall, I am really satisfied with my purchase and will purchase from rebuy again in the future, and I will recommend it to my relatives, thank you for your wonderful service!

detailedReviews 78: content: Pros:
- Good screen size for my needs. Not too small, not too big, it's not uncomfortable when in my pocket.
- Good camera, although I have not yet tried the night mode
- Apps run fast and smooth, no issues so far.
- Lots of memory
Cons:
- Fingerprint reader sucks. This was one of those ideas that seemed cool until you actually have to use it. Since the fingerprint reader is in the screen, there is no tactile feedback to tell you where it actually is. And assuming that you do find it, then there's the "cover the entire sensor" error when the finger is over the whole placeholder image, or the "press harder" error that pops once in a while, and the "fingerprint does not match" about half the time when it actually reads the fingerprint. About a third of the time I just give up and enter my pin. Frankly, the fingerprint reader on my old S7 was much better.
- Speakers are of poor quality for such an expensive phone. Only good for phone calls and nothing more.
- No headphone jack. I wish people would stop copying Apple on whatever quirky idea they come up with. I get that the Bluetooth earbuds are the cool (relatively) new way to listen to music, but they all suffer from limited battery life. Corded earbuds last forever or until your dog chews them, whichever comes first.
- Adaptive brightness mostly works, but sometimes misses. I have used it in sunlight and sometimes it is not bright enough. On occasion the brightness changes, even though the ambient light does not.
Other thoughts:
- If you plan to charge it wirelessly, do not get a case with a stand. The thickness added by the stand will not allow the phone to charge.

detailedReviews 79: content: My old phone was a iPhone 12 and I was given an S22 as a birthday gift. At first I felt uneasy about the S22 since i'm not used to android. Probably the best birthday present I have gotten in my life so far. After getting used to it I love the S22 and the amount of great features that it has such as the 'always on display' and the cool clock styles that it has and the screen display which is so smooth and comfortable to view. Not to mention the camera and its high quality shots with its bright and vibrant colours which makes the pictures look more aesthetic. However I had a friend with the same phone who had an overheating issue with the phone even when the phone is on but he isn't even using it and also when left to charge, so he had to change to another samsung phone. Nothing happened to mine though and I guess I was just lucky. Overall, it's such a great phone to use with a better experience than using an iPhone if it doesn't have that overheating issue. I'm officially a Samsung person.

detailedReviews 80: content: The Galaxy S9 was the best phone ever made. I had it for 4 years with minor expected issues. I upgraded to the Galaxy S22 because it seemed like a similar easy to use model. I also upgraded because I heard great things about the camera and 5G speed. I received my device a week ago and had some initial issues. Google Assistant wasn't working properly and the phone seemed to have a bit of a lag. I called Verizon Tech support and customer service to resolve this issue. I was prompted to reset my settings and allow all permissions for Google apps. The issue continued for about 2 days. After that I have 0 issues with my new device and it works similarly to my S9, just quicker. 5G works outside and I have 4G full bars indoors. This phone isn't overheating or slowing down when battery is low >15%. Commands are properly followed and picture quality is much better and realistic than my S9. I have great confidence this phone will last as long-- if not longer than my S9. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for 4 years under contract, and 7 years overall with my prepaid Samsung J1 I owned which was also an amazing phone. I moved accross the country and signal was always great. I have NEVER had issues that are worthy of having anything negative to say about my experience with Verizon.

detailedReviews 81: content: I needed a new unlocked phone quickly so this was my choice, & I am pleased with the product. Only issue is that there was no mention of a screen protector being previously installed, and it seems to have come with one covering the camera lenses on the back of the phone. Instead of a silver plate around the camera as pictured in the Amazon listing, mine is black & sticks out above the lenses. Not sure if it is able to be removed as I find it cosmetically displeasing & is affecting the way photos are captured. Other than that, I am a few days in & am not experiencing any other issues as of right now. You would never know this was an "Amazon Renewed phone", there is not a single scratch or dent on this unit.

detailedReviews 83: content: After using a refurbished Galaxy S7 for over 5 years, it was more than time for an upgrade. The Galaxy S22 was exactly what I needed and much more.
All my life I've been using Samsung phones. From my very first phone, the Samsung Galaxy SIII (Which I still actually have. . .) to this newest model, going with Samsung again was a no-brainer. From their connectivity to many other android based devices to their UI, Samsung has captured my attention for their numerous devices.
If I had one stipulation, it would be this. . .I wish that Samsung would put IR scanners in their phones like Apple. As someone who is very into 3D design, it is a bit sad I can't scan the world around me with the same accuracy as I would otherwise.
As you can see from the picture, this phone takes great pictures. I couldn't ask for a better camera.
One other comment I have about this phone, is how sturdy it feels. It's light enough to be comfortable, but heavy and solid enough that I don't feel like I can break it as easily as other phones I've see from friends. I would say the S22 is comfortable for me.

detailedReviews 84: content: I am considering going back to my old phone. Which is Android but not Samsung, as even though it is several years old performs the same and has a much better battery life. I also find the S22 predictive text extremely weird. I type 'hi' and predictive text inserts 'hilarious'. Which is not a great thing when you're telling someone bad news and you don't notice 'hilarious' and you press send. It's also rather heavy, and again my old phone slimmer and lighter. Photo quality about the same. I also find the on off function just stupid, and I can't work out how to take a screen shot. It also took me awhile to even work out how to answer a call. Why not just press the answer symbol? Instead of having to do this weird dragging thing. I don't find it user friendly at all. Still havent worked out where photos are saved. And having to charge it a couple of times a day even with power saving on, that is just archaic. But even though battery life is archaic, no head phone jack, so anyone with old style earbuds or head phones, be warned, you will need an adapter.

detailedReviews 85: content: I love my s22!! It's a no frills solid device that does everything really well. I love the 8 gigs of ram the processor, the screen quality, and the camera. I love the fingerprint entry, it's better than facial recognition but facial recognition works as well. I have been a fan of the s series for years. I hated giving up my s10, that was my favorite. I call it the last great phone with a headphone jack!!! But my s22 more than makes up for it. My hope is to sometime soon pair it with galaxy buds and a watch 5 pro and be completely emerced in the galaxy eco system. An unsung element to the galaxy phone is the device and battery care aspect in settings. To be able to shut down background apps and clear up RAM at the push of a button really keeps my phone working young. Another feature I love is samsung wallet. I have used samsung pay since the s7 and I love it!!! I used to have a problem losing my debit card but with samsung pay that problem has gone away!! Thank you samsung for making consistently excellent devices that have made me a proud owner since the s3 and moving forward!!!

detailedReviews 87: content: This product came in perhaps brand new condition and I have been extremely satisfied with its performance. I take a fair amount of videos and pictures and I feel like it does very well at this. Battery life isn't perfect (never will be, tbh) but it is extremely improved from my prior phone. I have my phone linked up with Phone Link to my PC which makes file transfers much easier and honestly makes me feel more coordinated as a person and as a college student.
Like other reviews mention, the seller does not include a lot of packing protection in the cardboard box it was sent in, but thankfully (miraculously) it arrived to my college-town address safely.
My package included a USB-C charging cable and USB-C block as well as a SIM card removal tool. For those less technologically advanced that are apprehensive about the SIM card removal, I will say that it was easier than I expected (I set the bar pretty low for myself and was expecting to have to call in reinforcements, but I didn't). I do recommend looking up how to remove the SIM card from your current device and then how to input the SIM card into your new device.

detailedReviews 88: content: This phone is amazing. I got it back in May 2022 and I cant leave without it- wether its riding a bike, going out for dinner, ect. This phone has tons of features and my favorite one out of them would be the camera. This camera is one of the best cameras I've seen on a phone and the detail is phenomenal. It has a max zoom of 30x and you're even able to take photos of the moon with it. How crazy is that! Their flashlight is also great because you can adjust the brightness to how bright or dim you want the flashlight to be which is something not many phones have. Bixby is great as well, you can ask it almost anything and it will help you out in a matter of seconds. I'm also one to play games on my phone and this phone handles any game super smoothly so you get no lag or wifi interference which makes this phone great for any gamers out there. The phone is also very durable and you can drop it onto any surface and it won't crack (I don't reccomend trying it). In conclusion, this phone is a must have and one of the greatest devices I own.

detailedReviews 89: content: I'm not the type to use my phone all the time. The battery life does drain fast, but I have an issue with the charging port. For some odd reason when I'm playing music using an adapter and aux youtube says it's playing music and yet no sound. When it dies fully, and I immediately charge the phone, sometimes it won't even charge. It sits there with a blank charge screen basically saying it's charging when it's not. I have to unplugg and plug back in multiple times to get it to charge. As with youtube listening to music, and even then it will not play for more than 10 min before it starts up again. It runs oddly hot sometimes when I use it. Another thing to add to the plate places where I get "bad service" I have to restart the phone and get service again. These are roads I drive daily never had a problem with service on my Galaxy s10 plus. Bought the phone from Walmart, all they did was plugged it in a charger and said it's fine. When it's definitely not. Now I have to go to Verizon to send it back to the warehouse and see if there is something wrong with it. If they send it back and say there's nothing wrong I'm definitely getting my money back and getting something else. (Mind you I use good chargers, adapters and cords. I bought more than one. QUITE a few, and mostly samsung brand. ) I don't mind the battery life, but if I can't run youtube and let it charge at the same time without it getting hot because that's the way the phone is , than I don't want it. The battery definitely is iPhones fault. BRING back the Samsung we knew and loved. Hopefully things go good and I can get replacement and I'm not told nothing is wrong with it. So far, I'm not sure how I feel if I would recommend or not.

detailedReviews 90: content: First, I'll start by saying i have been LOYAL to samsung phones. I've owned the s2, s4, s6, s8, s10 and now the s22 which i pre-ordered. I loved my s10 but it was time for an upgrade thinking battery life HAS to be better. I was wrong. Battery life might be worse given that my s10 was 3 years old and is about the same on life.
But the screen I discovered today was chipped and probably will crack at the very bottom of my phone. I have a case on it. I've only ever dropped it from the couch to my wood floors. I was dumb enough to believe Samsung's claims of the gorilla glass iteration being so strong that you don't need a screen protector. In fact, I had one on but decided to take it off bc I felt it wasn't picking up my fingerprint as easily.
Aside from the chipping I saw, I noticed a thin scratch across the middle. First time I've ever seen that on ANY of my Galaxy S phones. Again, no major drops, just on my wood floor and I've been very careful given this thing is only about a month old.
Highly disappointing and I think it's time to switch to a Pixel or something in the future. No longer the gold standard for Android.

I took it in to a cex store and they fixed it up. Turns out the socket was dusty. Now it charges perfectly! It's a definite upgrade to what I had before and I love it! Compared to other latest phones, the battery life isn't great but it lasts a good day or 2 so it's good enough for me. Camera is great. I don't really have any issues with it and it's been a good month. Highly recommend Cex as always!

detailedReviews 92: content: I bought my Galaxy S22 day one to replace my Galaxy S8 for Web AR development. It was a good improvement over the now 5 year old phone (time flies). I find the 120hz refresh rate very nice to look at, but the max resolution is actually capped at 1080p. This hasn't been an issue for me though, since phone sizes are much smaller than PC screens. The new touchscreen fingerprint reader works really nicely and is much more convenient than the awkward one on the back of the S8. However, I've had issues with it overheating lately, even when I wasn't doing Web AR stuff. It simply closes out several apps if this happens. Its battery is also 3,700 mAh, which at least for my uses with video, 3D rendering, etc., it always seems to run out pretty fast. My wife also seems to not really like the camera either.
Pros: Simple to upgrade from other Samsung phones, decently powerful, nice screen refresh rate, simple and solid design
Cons: Battery life is kind of bad, may overheat, camera is so-so

detailedReviews 93: content: Great phone with feature you won't see in a pixel. Conversely, it lacks native features you come to expect unless you use an additional app. I do' like that. The less apps th better IMO.
Phone arrived in fantastic condition, unlocked with developer mode enabled. Which they used to unlock the original AT&T phone. This phone is not "factory unlocked" as AT&T does not sell unlocked phones.
Once I simmed it and started using the phone my robo calls more than doubled. Common sense tells me the phone itself is at fault somehow was it was manipulated by the seller? Anyway when It gets damaged beyond repair (I do this every several months or so) I'll buy a new phone straight from google. I get the best results that way.
In conclusion the S-22 was top of the line phone a couple years ago and a great daily driver for the price despite all the samsung crap. Despite this I grant only three stars for the robocalls annoyance!

There is no lag that I've noticed and the screen registers touches very well.

detailedReviews 95: content: This phone comes packed with features. Most, if not all were on my S20+. Some were removed. Like the heart rate sensor. Something everyone started wanting but now is only available in a watch or tracker. Both of which my phone already does. I don't need 2. Is it a bit faster? Yes Same size and feel though. I use my phone for sending emails and texts mostly. And for contacting
my customers. The features that were upgraded, were mostly upgrades to how much control the phone has over what you can do with it. It may be the Google part of the phone, but there's so much forced memory taken up with apps I will never use. At $1200 per phone, you can't blame that on advertising dollars. Bloatware I think they call it. The most important feature for me would've been the heart rate monitor and the Bixby assistant. I really wanted Samsung to put some effort into making this equal to Googles assistant. Google had lost sight of what the assistant was speed to do and I was hoping Samsung would run with it. Bixby is great for making calls and sending messages but half of the time you have unlock your phone first. A voice controlled assistant that needs you to "use" your phone is just a phone with apps you use. I'll never be anything other than an Android user, but I do have to choose wisely when it comes to the assistant I use in each situation.

detailedReviews 96: content: I bought my first ever galaxy device back in the summer of 2022, and I do not regret it one bit, from the unboxing to the new memories made while using the Samsung Galaxy S22+ 5G. The first thing I did straight after the unboxing was go straight into the camera app, and the stunning quality and all the vibrant colors shocked me. I had never thought such amazing quality photos would exist on a phone. I remember watching YouTube videos and always seeing the ads of the Galaxy S22+ and always thought the picture and video qualities were exaggerated, but now that I have one in my possession, I stand corrected. Along with this phone having an amazing camera, came with amazing battery life, allowing me to take high resolution photos and videos with ease of mind, along with plenty of storage to keep the memories I've made throughout me owning the phone, all with a beautiful display with amazing color contrast, allowing me to really relive the moment as im viewing it.. I will definitely upgrade to a new Samsung device in the future, as they are the future, they have changed my perspective of technology for the better. There are so many new memories yet to be made, and in glad I could rely on Samsung for allowing me to make, keep, and savor these memories, for as long as I live.

detailedReviews 97: content: I bought this phone about a month ago, and with its performance, I have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The camera quality remains to be outstanding alongside its other counterparts and the amazing vibrant screen quality along the smoothness really makes it one of the best phones out there. However this phone has quite a lacking battery life with only 3700mAh it straight up has less battery life than its precursor the s21.
Whilst other phones on the market boast around 8 plus hours and with the google pixel boasting a 10 plus hours of battery life, the s22 has only 7hrs 26 minutes. However if you do not intensely use your phone and do not run apps that constantly drain battery life, it is more than capable in running any games or apps.
I have played many graphic demanding games such as genshin impact and other fps mobile games, and all have run extremely smoothly and in high graphical settings. Overall a very amazing phone.

detailedReviews 98: content: First off, I am very picky and overthink any purchases. Making a decision to buy a reburbished phone was a difficult one.
After lots of research, I chose the "excellent condition" S21. It was definitely in excellent condition with one little scratch along the side corner of the phone that is barely noticeable. I bought a new case, and it's completely covered. Everything else is 100% flawless. I'd consider this phone beyond excellent condition. I would most definitely recommend.

detailedReviews 99: content: This device the Samsung S22 has tons of great features that I love, the biometric features on the phone are so useful and such a cool feature to have, being able to access my account with just my fingerprint is so cool! I can watch tons of movies or TV shows on the phone! I have great quality on all of things that I can watch. The service support that Samsung has to offer is something else they helped set up my phone and gave me a mini tour of cool features. Another thing that I really love is fact that in the settings there's tons and tons of adjustments that one could do so I could make my phone my phone! I am able to customize my phone to my liking and the color choices are crazy! I can make the theme of my phone blue and the next day if I wanted to it could be red, the whole theme changed and adjusted all in a click of a button, over all this device the Samsung S22 is one of the best and I would recommend to anyone looking for a phone upgrade. I'm a stranger but trust me the phone is truly great.

detailedReviews 100: content: I had a s9 plus and decided to upgrade. I got this phone and had several issues immediately. I was disappointed that the charger provided was usb-c on both ends with no charging box. Also, the fingerprint did not work for me. I had registered my thumb four times and it still would not read it properly. The s9 had the reader on the back which was much easier to use. Second the speaker was awful. I had a teams meeting on my phone and could barely here what was being said. The phone sounded staticky and no where near as loud as the s9. I had originally opted for the s22 because I heard the camera was good. There was no improvement from the s9. Also, the phone did not hold a charge for very long at all. Finally, one of the reasons I stuck with Android was because I liked having a separate headphone jack. Well, low and behold the s22 did not have any headphone jack. I returned the phone within 24 hours in exchange for an iPhone 13. I love the iPhone and am glad I made the switch. It just feels like Samsung is trying to be like the poor quality iPhone for the same price.
