The phone was delivered quickly in just three days after
it was ordered. It was delivered in a small, heavy-duty
cardboard box. When I picked up the box I could hear
something moving inside. Upon opening the box I
immediately saw that the phone was not packed very
well. The phone itself was in a thin plastic bag, and
secured to the bottom of the box by a tight band of thin
plastic. There was no foam cushion on either side of the
phone. Placed on top of the phone was a box containing
a charging cable. This box was free to move about. There
was also a wall charger in a thin plastic bag that was also
free to move about. These items should, at a minimum,
have been isolated from the phone by bubble wrap. I
expected more care for a phone that cost $450. This
careless packing cost me a week of carefully testing the
phone - something most customers would not do.
I first performed a careful visual inspection of the phone.
The screen looked like new - it was free of any
imperfections. The back of the phone had a few minor
blemishes, but nothing else. I found a small scuff mark
on two of the corners of the surrounding aluminum
band, that are invisible with a case.
I ran all the Samsung diagnostics multiple times,
and the phone passed them all. I found an app to
help me find dead pixels and residual images on the screen - none were found. The display screen was
like new. The battery was also like new. I have been
using the phone now for almost four weeks, and can get
almost three days usage out of one full charge - although
my usage is relatively light.
All three cameras work very well, and the lenses look
like new. They experienced no damage from the careless packing - but I was probably lucky. A photo of the
base of my Christmas tree with the main lens is very
sharp and clear. The small blur in the upper left corner
was from my finger! Photos with the other lenses were
also excellent.
I am very happy with this phone. However, I am afraid I
can not recommend it to a friend. The careless way it
was packaged could have damaged the phone. I think it
would have been safer to not include the charging block
and the box with the charging cable, if such flimsy
packing is continued. In any event, the phone should be
cushioned on all sides by foam. It is, after all, a $450
device.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I love Samsung phones and the S22 is fantastic. Easy to use and not overly large or too small. Just make sure you get a decent case that allows you to use the wireless charging, if that's your thing.

when you pay for a 256GB and you realize you got at 128GB, that's going to lead to a bad rating of Best Buy, but the phone was great.
