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

I just received my S22 Ultra yesterday, and I’m really impressed. It arrived in good condition with only very minor signs of normal wear and tear—nothing too noticeable at all. I was a little nervous as I read some of the reviews...Originally, I wanted more than 128GB of storage since I take a lot of pictures, but I upgraded from the S22 Plus (also 128GB) which felt okay to me BUT honestly, the space is still enough for the average person. I use a lot of photo editing apps and take plenty of pictures, and so far I haven’t run into any storage issues.The phone works beautifully, especially with the S Pen—it’s perfect for quick drawings or notes on the go. The camera is definitely a highlight. I’m loving the night mode feature, which really brightens up photos taken in low light. Plus, the photo settings are super customizable, and you can even create your own filters from images.Overall, for just $300 on Amazon, I was surprised by how premium it feels and the fact that its unlocked. NOT GSM BUT UNLOCKED. Even though it's a 2022 model, coming from the S22 Plus, this upgrade makes it feel like I’m carrying a fancy camera around. Totally worth it. Treat yourself.

Edit 04/05/2024: Currently 0/4 now on these refurbished phones, never had these issues before with used phones. I wanted to post a review for each of the phones however it looks like two were posted from the same listing so this speaks for all. With these items being not fulfilled by Amazon, it is the fault of RE-CELL, Cell Rider, ELECTRONICDEALS, and MOBILESUPPLY. Check with the actual seller (not amazon) to see if they are trustworthy, I have found them to be not.I received the phone and all was fine for the first day. Showed up great condition, barely could tell it was refurbished, and was pleased with the condition and delivery/unboxing experience so far. Though after that I noticed I had lost cell service, and would refuse to connect to any cell network, after I went through a few days of rigorous troubleshooting on my own and with Verizon they advised me to replace the phone, which I did.Thankfully the return process was fine and was accepted, however the fact that the only option listed was a UPS picked, in which they would require me to wait for them to arrive at some point in the next 3 days, however they never showed up, so I had to reschedule a second pickup with amazon, and wait another 2 days until a pickup. Had there been a drop-off option like every other item I have ordered on this site, I could have had the refund started a week prior. Instead I had to go through a magnitude more hassle to send back a phone that should have never been OK'd in the first place.I am surprised something simple like a phone being locked to a carrier would slip through your QC process, like c'mon its just a simple IMEI check, just do it, its not terribly hard. I've purchased many refurbished phones in my time, this is the first time I've received one that didn't work as a phone. Scuffs, scratches, dings, dents, that's fair play with used phones and I've become used to, but it needs to at least work like a phone.(Spoiler alert, I've now had to go through 3 (YES THREE) of the S22 Ultra ''''Factory Unlocked'''' phones so far, with all 3 having issues, 2 of them being the IMEI lock issue on these unlocked phones.)At this point in time, I no longer trust Amazon for my used phone needs. I'm 0/3 on phones from supposed 'excellent' condition, nothing has been excellent about my experience other than finally seeing my money be returned.

Advertised in excellent condition and fulfilled every promise. Phone came packaged with a clear case (thin one that I already replaced, but was a nice touch either way), tempered screen protector, wall charger, and USB cord.I am upgrading from the S21 Ultra I got refurbished a couple of years ago after I replaced my own battery but messed up the fingerprint reader in the process.This phone feels a lot better and I love the addition of the stylus. The screen feels great and the body of the particular one I got is in impeccable condition.Wired and wireless charging all work along with the cameras and, in my previously unfortunate case, the aforementioned fingerprint reader. Would definitely buy again.I just hope Android 15 and UI 7 roll out soon because they did already come out for my previous S21 Ultra a couple of months ago...

The phone arrived on time and it looked brand new. I transferred my apps, data and sim card from my 128GB S21 Ultra to this phone.There's one major problem, and I'm not sure if it's the phone, or the OS. When I connected to the AT&T 5G network, the phone was upgraded from One UI 6.0 to 7.0. Now, unless I have 5 bars on the mobile network, my data, phone and text messenging are terrible. Sometimes, even with 5 bars, I'll get the spinning wheel or a "can't connect " message. I've only been using the phone for 5 days and I'm still trying to troubleshoot the problem. I'll update this review when I've figured it out.
