Love my new phone. The phone takes amazing pictures. Battery life is great. I did upgrade to the 256 mg memory because I had an extra memory card in my old phone. I take lots of pictures so wanted enough memory. Took a bit to set up and I'm still getting used to the differences with my S10+. I would definitely recommend the ultra.

What an upgrade! I love my new S22 Ultra! I had to upgrade from my S10 and I am having so much fun with the S22 Ultra. I really like the pen. I can make quick notes and draw pictures. The camera is AWESOME too. I got a great photo of the moon! I highly recommend this phone!

Best All Around Phone of 2022

Having hands on experience with the major flagship phones in 2022, this is easily the best overall.
PROS:
+The display is large, very crisp and bright and has the most vibrant colors of any 2022 flagship.
+Fast and buttery smooth performance, no lag or hiccups
+Endless customization options
+Excellent camera that impresses everyone
+Outstanding 5G reception
+Battery life is good
+Solid build quality
+S-Pen comes in handy occasionally
CONS:
-The phone is heavy, and many cases make it worse
-No expandable storage
-Expensive full retail price
In conclusion, this appears to be the most well rounded flagship of 2022. The large size and heavy weight may make it too much for some use. If you want the latest and greatest without compromises, this is the phone to get.

My Galaxy S8 lasted 6 years. If this phone last 6 years it will be well worth the price. The Cameras are better than any camera I own. The screen is flawless. The battery life is fantastic. The now OS is great. Having a stylus is a real plus. The sound is much improved. I was already using wireless ear buds so losing the jack was no big deal. The only down size is no SD Card slot. 256 GB will be more than enough though.

Good, stable, does what it's supposed to. Camera is amazing. Display is amazing. Battery life is great. Connectivity is pretty good (much better compared to pixels for example), but not always perfect.

Disappointment for me

Was really looking forward to this phone but it has been a let down. Some features are awesome and it feels great but some of the cons outweigh the pros. The biggest issues have been battery life, reception, ads and lag.
Reception - my note 8 has 3-5 bars at home while this has 1-3
Battery - although it is starting to get better, I am still not able to go long without a plug. This is also without using the phone much-no games, no Bluetooth, no streaming movies etc.
Lag-it actually feels slower than my old note 8 for the same use.
The push ads are ridiculous. There is no reason a phone this expensive should have any Adware period.
Hoping an update will fix most of these issues but for now I am regretting getting this as an "upgrade" to my note

Phone great, 5G Not so Great

My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+, so I upgraded to this one because it has a lot of the same features. Overall the phone has been pretty good and not too different from my old Note. My biggest issues with it tho, and this could be a carrier issue, is that the 5G dropping down to 4G is not usually a smooth change. Calls are dropped way more frequently, calls go digital, and internet is snail slow on 4G with this phone. My old Note 10+ didn't have the 5G upgrade and it was great on 4G. Also, this phone feels a bit heavier. Volume, and power buttons are on the right now which I'm still trying to get used to and the stylus is now on the bottom left. Besides the glitchy network and awkward buttons for me, the phones graphics are awesome, the sound is pretty good. Love that the search box in the apps screen can try to help hunt down key words that you input. Helps a lot when trying to change settings or search for an app.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a great smartphone. Great resolution, nice large screen. The phone is large but I use an Otterbox and it is still quite manageable to hold and use and put away in my back pocket. Great speeds. Stylus is great. Useful to operate the camera when you need to be further away than a selfie.

I got this phone well over a year ago, so have some experience with it. It is totally awesome phone. The only issue I've ever had is when a 5g signal isn't avail, or it's a weak signal, it's like the phone doesn't switch to 4g like it should, and my data will get all slow. Oh, and the green model is not green, it's more of a grayish color.

By far the best phone I've ever used. Camera is a big step up from my S20 plus. The 100x is surprisingly clear for what it is. Battery life has steadily improved with each update. Does get a little warm while gaming but nothing too bad.

Upgraded from s20+, and it was a bigger upgrade than anticipated. The screen on this is awesome. The battery life is way better. The s pen, while not used much is very useful. The camera is a huge upgrade just for the zoom alone.

The phone is bigger and a bit heavier than the S10 Notebook that I have had for the last 2 1/2 yrs. There are more features, esp. when it comes to the 5 camera lenses and types of pics/videos that you can shoot. I am struggling a little bit with getting the S Pen to stay connected once I remove it to take pictures. So far, the battery life has been great. I know that there are several features that I haven't had a chance to utilize, yet, so I would encourage new users to watch the YouTube tutorials.
