SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, US Version, 128GB, Black - Unlocked (Renewed)

Samsung S22UltraI got this phone in Jan 2024. I think it's a great phone. I bought it as a refurbished, unlocked phone for a significantly reduced price. I had a problem with the wireless network dropping calls and a weak signal. I had called the Xfinity network support and they attempted a fix but it was not helpful. I found out that I could select a different network carrier since my phone is unlocked. I did that and the problem was solved. I could not find this "fix suggestion" in Samsung forums. I stumbled across this resolution somewhat accidentally. I also called Samsung Tech Support. They verified by IMEI numbers that the phone is indeed unlocked. It has to be unlocked to accomplish what I was able to do. It is also a great camera. My photo's are great and it's a great video camera for shooting 4K. I still own a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 I've had for years. It still works like new. I really like Samsung products. I've used boomboxes, laptops, phones, watches, etc. They have all been top quality and last a long time.

Do not purchase from seller.We purchased two phones and they came promptly and in nice packaging. The phone itself appears in great condition. One of the phones is working well. However, one of the phones has an issue with the S Pen failing to connect and the screen flickers, and fades in and out periodically. After doing the usual troubleshooting the phone is still not working properly. We attempted to request a replacement online, but the only option is to request a return. This means you will be without a phone because will have to return it first then order a new one and possibly have a difficult time porting your data over. Or you have to buy another phone then return the old one, thereby providing a free loan to Amazon and the seller.After calling Amazon we were told the seller doesn't allow for exchanges and a return is only possible. Do not expect Amazon to take any sort of initiative to resolve an issue if you have one. They will only repeat the same thing and they will not contact the seller themselves. They will not attempt to resolve your issue other than tell you to return it. After several phone calls and several representatives of Amazon we were hung up on three different occasions. This whole experience has been terrible!!!I am reaching out to the seller directly. If they are able to provide a better resolution, this review will be updated. It's unfortunate that the customer service through Amazon was truly awful. If they had seamlessly provided a replacement phone, this could have been a great experience and a positive review, despite the issue with the phone.

I got my s22 ultra about a month ago, renewed in excellent condition. I gotta say I was skeptical, and I was mentally prepared to recieve my phone with a handful of minor to medium scratches on the screen and dings on the corners. To my surprise, this thing was literally flawless cosmetically. It works great, it was unlocked as advertised and I'm glad I decided to purchase it. It did not come with a charging brick, just a type c to type c cable, so I'd recommend ordering one separately too. Got a clear case from the samsung store here on Amazon for $10 plus some 3rd party screen protector 3 pack for another $9. S pen was included, original packaging was not included. Hope this helps.

So I just got the phone couple days ago in excellent condition, and its amazing, there's only 3 very tiny scuffs, which I can barely see, and the battery life is very good , and everything works properly, and it still runs on the latest firmware which is amazing, the S pen works properly, but it does have very tiny scratches on it. So this used phone is amazing, it just has a few tiny scuffs/scratches which I can barely see!

I was a little apprehensive spending more on a used phone than I spent on my new OnePlus 6T 4 years ago. I'd done the research and decided on the Galaxy S22 Ultra (mostly for the phone capabilities) but wasn't willing to spend $1200, so I took a chance on a refurb unit. I've had it for a couple days now and I can say it was one of my better purchases.The phone arrived a day early, well packaged, and included the phone(w/37% battery charge), an adaptive fast charger, a cheap usb c charging cable, and sim removal tool. After close inspection, the phone showed no signs of prior ownership. It was in pristine condition just like new. It started right up and I got through the setup process. Being an unlocked phone,I figured I could just throw in my Cricket sim card and be ready to go. Cricket recognized the phone straight away, reminded me to turn on wireless calling, and I was back in business. Now let's get it charged up.I plugged in my OP6T usb c cable and powerpack out of habit and started messing with settings when I ran across the battery settings. It showed 2 hour, 13 minutes until fully charged. Ok, lets try the included charger and cable. I setup the included charging rig and the charging time was reduced to 42 minutes. Sweet!... until it wasn't. With the phone fully charged, I went to unplug the charger only to find it stuck in the phones usb port. No amount of wiggling in any direction would free it. Time to turn to Google for a solution. Not much help there other than someone suggesting sending the phone in for charging port replacement after suggesting the fast charger combined with a cheap cable may have allowed an arc to form in the port effectively "welding" the cable to the port. Panic set in as I resumed the wiggling process. I finally decided to pull harder and dislodge it, whatever the outcome. It came out finally. I plugged in my "good" cable and it showed "charged" so I knew it was working. I quickly disposed of the cheap usb cable so it could cause to more harm. Crisis averted.I can tell that the signal reception is much better than I had with my old phone. My old phone had good early morning reception where I work but it was shut down at 9:30 A.M. for the rest of the day. I was happy to see that was no longer the case with this phone. I had useable signal even inside the building. That in itself is huge to me.This a is a large phone. I work construction and wear carpenter jeans (with the pocket on the right leg) and all my previous phones slid right in that pocket with a slim case. This phone will barely fit naked. With the case I bought for it, it won't even begin to fit. Luckily the Unicorn Beetle Pro case has the belt clip so I can still carry it while at work... although I'm not a fan of the belt clip method. The case is very protective but makes the phone even huge(er). I have a slim case on order.The phone itself is fast, responsive and beautiful with more bells and whistles than any phone I've owned to date. It's going to take some time to start learning the tips and tricks that make this phone stand out from the crowd, otherwise it's a waste of this phones "talent". I'm hoping my luck and the longevity of the phone will keep this as my daily driver for years to come as Samsung has promised four generations of One UI and Android OS upgrades.(tl:dr) It's a big glorious phone sent safely at a good price. IMO... if you can swing the price, don't hesitate.
