Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G, US Version, 512GB, Burgundy - Unlocked (Renewed)

First, about the vendor. If I could give ten stars, I would. Professionally packaged, they included a screen protector and a charger brick, which Samsung does not. Not high amperage, but better than nothing. Also a USB C cord and the SIM tray ejector pin. What's not to love? The condition was as if brand new, the S pen was included. And 512GB of memory? Wow! No more dealing with SD cards and figuring out where things are stored. All for $424 and 12 months to pay with no interest on my Amazon CC. My history of of cellular phones goes back almost 40 years to car phones. As to PCS hand held phones, 25 years. Many Nokias, then Windows Phone, then very grudgingly, Android, only because my beloved 950XL does not have voice over data and technology moved on. I got a Samsung A52. I have had phones that I didn't particularly like, but none have I hated as much as that A52. SO many stupid things, constant misbehaviors. I can't tell you how many times I threw that puppy against the wall. Good thing it has a great case. Well, Mr. Samsung. All is forgiven with this S22 Ultra. This is the first phone I've ever had that did not allow a "no lock" option. I've never had reason to lock my phone from prying eyes or fingers. No big secrets and I don't lose my phones. Anyway, this phone requires some form of security...god, I've come to hate that word...but I found the fingerprint unlock to work well, so that hurdle crossed without pain. I really, really hate doing things on the tiny screen and keyboard of a phone. The Microsoft Phone Link has been a god send, letting me use a big monitor, keyboard and mouse for messages and other purposes. SO much nicer and easier. Well, it just got better with the Samsung DeX feature. Plug the phone into a USB port on the PC and now you have a work station. (Historical note: My Windows Phone could do this with the optional docking station a decade ago.) Now I can use the Samsung Snapseed (like Adobe Lightroom, but FREE!) and ExpertRAW apps with the comfort of a real keyboard and mouse. A number of YT reviewers complained about the battery life. Gee, I'm running video games and movies all day, why does the battery suck? Even then, they reported that it could run all day. I'm happy to report that with the light duty of phone, text, some GPS, and other odds and ends, the battery life is great. Down 20-30% after a day of that kind of use. The Samsung Camera app is thorough and easy to use. I say this having tried other camera apps, and even a short lived Pixel 8 phone. I ditched that in less than a day, the camera app was SO clunky. Then in the hardware background, the Ultra claims to have a larger sensor...this is always good...than its S22 cousins and with a higher pixel count. 108MP? Wow. My first digital camera had 2.1MP. The S pen and note feature is amazing and I'm just starting to learn all of its capabilities. The phone updated to Android 14 and 6.1 OneUI w/o issue. Samsung guarantees several more years of OS upgrades and seven years of security upgrades. The summary is that for only the third time in 25 years do I love a phone and not just tolerate it. I can't imagine someone not liking this phone, and the differences between this and the just out S25 are not worth $1000 bucks.

Absolute worst experience I have ever had with Amazon or a seller. I was so excited when my phone came in it looked perfect everything seemed great. Not one single visible imperfection until I installed my SIM card. Then nothing. The phone would not connect on any network we tried Att, Verizon, T-Mobile, Google Fi, and Visible. I put the same SIM cards in my brother's identical phone and his worked fine. I connected the phone to Wi-Fi magically the network connects and says the device is registered on Verizon network. No matter where I went regardless of which network or SIM, (ESIM or physical we tried both) the phone would not work on any network without being connected to Wi-Fi.(I live in a rural area our only options are satellite) After research I found this was a known issue with this device I reached out to the seller and got a standard automated message. No help at all. I reached out to Amazon where was told I would have to return the item. I let them know that was not financially feasible for me I needed to do an exchange. Amazon said they would reach out to the seller & find out if an exchange would be available. I was told no, I need to reach out to the seller myself to try and work something out. I reached out to the seller they responded with an obvious automated template explaining again that it would be up to Amazon. This phone was purchased out of necessity because my 22+ had a cracked screen and was showing obvious signs of impending death. The day after I transferred all of my information from my 22+ to the 22Ultra my 22+ succumbed to nearly 3 years of daily use. This phone is not a luxury item to me but a necessity for work and school. If nearly $500 is a substantial amount of money to you I highly suggest looking into Amazon's return policy and the seller's responsiveness. Also their ability to correct their mistakes without putting undue financial on someone who's only mistake was not thoroughly researching the seller's and Amazon's policies . Again the phone looked fantastic. The camera functioned as it should. The phone registered on the Verizon network every time I was connected to Wi-Fi. I would receive all of the text messages. As soon as I left Wi-Fi the phone said no network and emergency calls only. This may be a one off with this seller their reviews are great but unfortunately I received a dud & no customer service to go with it. Still waiting on acknowledgement of my return. Amazon can see it was delivered to them but not picked up. Their tracking shows I haven't even picked it up.

This being my first refurbished phone, I am very very pleased. The phone appearance itself is flawless, truly! Not a single scratch ANYWHERE! The battery life seems pretty normal but it's only been a day and I haven't had much time to really be on it and test drive it. I highly recommend this seller but make sure you spend that extra on EXCELLENT condition because you will get what you pay for. It was also absolutely unlocked which was probably my biggest fear. The phone itself is awesome, coming from an A series I'm hooked and will never go back. This camera takes excellent pictures and has all the good camera features you can find in Apple products. Truly worth the buy!

Arrived early. Was able to easily transfer data from my old Samsung to this one, and it took my Cricket SIM card with no issues at all. Just popped it right in there and it booted up. Works as it should, my only issue is the "ghost touch" symptoms this particular phone is known for. But it's a small price to pay for a phone I basically got for less than half the price it was when it was brand new. I know buying refurbished phones on Amazon is basically hit or miss, but I haven't had any issues so far.

The first phone I received from this seller appeared to be in excellent condition, but it turned out to have a serious problem, that I'm now learning is very common. The phone would work great on WiFi, but would STRUGGLE to maintain service anywhere outside of my house. I would have service about 1/10th of the time, and could NEVER get through a phone call without it dropping, when I could even get through. Although they should have caught this, I can't fully blame the seller (which is why I gave 3 stars for a basically useless phone... which otherwise would be awesome... ya know, if it worked) because this is the 4th phone (3 - S22 Ultra's, 1 - Note 20 Ultra) I've had the exact same issue with over the last 2 years. I ordered a temporary phone to get me through while I return this one and wait for a replacement, so I'll update when I receive the next one... UPDATE: I'm raising my rating to 4 stars. The second phone arrived yesterday and so far it seems to be excellent. If any issues arise with the new phone I'll be sure to come back, but I'm hoping this is the last S22 I'll ever order...

It's always a gamble buying a phone that's renewed/refurbished, because you hope you're going to get what the seller actually promises (as opposed to a disappointing/broken/non-working product). This isn't my first refurbished phone, but I'm always a little anxious spending the money on something I HOPE is going to be good (as opposed to brand-new/unused). I bought this phone in refurbished/excellent condition. After reading multiple reviews on multiple refurbished phone listings on Amazon, my biggest concern was (always is) getting one with a damaged screen, cameras, or having it not truly be unlocked. I've had this phone less than 24 hours, but here's my take SO far (I can't speak for other people, these are just my experiences): 1) Yes, it was (for me) truly, 100% unlocked. Not even an ex-carrier logo when I first turned it on! (My previous 'unlocked' refurbished phone has a T-Mobile logo when turned on) I was quite happy/impressed about this. 2) No scratches (that I could see) on the front/touchscreen. There are multiple, TINY scuffs on the sides (not part of the touchscreen)/top edge/bottom edge of the phone - which I fully expected w/ a refurbished phone, and I'm totally fine with it (and this is if I'm REALLY nitpicking - they're really not that bad, though. It's just not FLAWLESS, which - again - I'm fine with). 3) 99% flawless on the backside - the ONLY thing I can see is a TINY scuff on the edge of one of the cameras (not the actual camera/glass screen itself), and this is cosmetic - it doesn't affect the quality of the camera (that I've noticed). 4) S-Pen pops out like it should, seems to be fine. 5) Charges just fine so far - both wireless and wired. 6) Popped in my SIM card (US Mobile, uses T-Mobile network), and it worked instantly. No phone/SIM-related problems so far. Everything - and I mean everything (data, wallpapers, photos, Samsung Notes from my previous phone, sounds/ringtones, apps, folders, etc) - transferred from my old phone perfectly (Samsung Smart Switch app). 7) Fingerprint reader works fine for me so far - and that's with a plastic-y (TPU?) screen protector that I put on it. I haven't noticed any real issues thus far - if anything changes, I'll update my review. OVERALL: For me, yes it's definitely worth the money. If you're considering it and you're on the fence (and I understand why you might be), I say go for it. I'm very satisfied, hopefully nothing changes in time. Buying refurbished is a great way (in theory, lol) to save money while still getting a phone you really want (I think they're normally way overpriced anyway). Shipping was great (got mine the next day!), no issues with packaging (very safe/secure), and the phone - while not literally FLAWLESS - still looks great, works great, and I look forward to using it for a long time to come! A great buy overall!

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS MODEL!! THEY ARE FACTORY DEFECTIVE!! DO YOUR RESEARCH AND YOU'LL SEE THIS PHONE SHOULD BE RECALLED!! I really did enjoy this phone while it only lasted for about first six months. Then comes the devastating issues. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5g was and is being sold with now known manufacturing defects. The internal antenna disconnects unreasonably too easy. This phone can't even be dropped from 2-3 ft with a nice case. The antenna broke/came loose inside the phone 3 different times. The first time it just started showing "Emergency Calls Only" on the top left of the screen and this 🚫 where 5g should be on the top right side. This happened over 20 times a day, and after driving me insane for a couple days I took the case off and it had a small crack on the lower right side of the back glass. ( I've never had a phone crack inside a case before). So I got the back glass repaired. Then the next day the phone begins doing the same thing again, having no service more time than functioning correctly. So now's the next diagnosis saying the antenna needs replacing and the charging port must be replaced with an antenna repair. It worked for about 2 weeks and did the same thing again and there was no accidents or damage done to cause it. By now I'm way too frustrated and take it back and use the warranty of the repair shop. So I bought this phone for about 599.00 in July of 2024 and since then the screen cracked through a screen cover, the back glass broke through a strong case and I've had to get the antenna repaired 2 or 3 times now and now the phone is doing it again. It only lasted 2 weeks and now I can only count on it at home with WiFi. I've got over 1 thousand dollars in a phone that should've been 100% Recalled and Replaced with a different model. I hope it was only this year and this specific model. SADLY this has turned me to really considering going to an iPhone. I also had to change phone carriers(Boost Infinite to Mint mobile) bc at first I didn't think it was the phone causing the problems. And I've bought 10-12 accessories just for this phone. Not counting my Samsung Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Earbuds. This Phone has left me stranded before and now it's just left a devastating aftermath of WASTED MONEY AND TIME!!

Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra when it comes to software, camera, and battery life. The camera quality is gorgeous and works as expected. The phone performs well, and the battery is sufficient for my needs. With normal to moderately heavy use, I can comfortably get through the entire day. With very heavy use, I usually need to charge it at night, but otherwise I don’t have to worry about the battery running out during the day. My main issues are with the hardware condition and cellular connectivity. I purchased this phone in the highest refurbished condition, listed as Excellent / Like New, so I expected it to be in very good physical condition. Unfortunately, the outer rings around the camera modules are visibly shattered. The cameras themselves still work perfectly, and since I use a case, the damage doesn’t really affect me in everyday use. However, it is quite obvious that the phone was dropped at some point, and I don’t think this level of physical damage should be present on a device advertised as Excellent / Like New. My second, and more significant, issue is the cellular network connection. Calls work without much of a problem, but I cannot reliably get mobile data from the carriers I’ve tried. When I’m away from Wi-Fi, the phone frequently shows Emergency Calls Only or has a signal but cannot actually connect to the mobile data network. I’ve tried multiple carriers, and none have worked properly for data. This is frustrating because it essentially means I have to rely on Wi-Fi for internet access. So, while I really like the phone itself—the software, performance, camera, and battery are all good—I have to give this particular purchase 3 out of 5 stars because of the physical condition and especially the cellular connectivity issue. If the phone had arrived in the advertised condition and the mobile network worked properly, I would have rated it much higher.

Lo compré con la opción de reacondicionado "condiciones excelentes" Me llego en caja generica con cargador, lo pedí en verde, no tiene ni un solo rasguño o detalle!, la huella en pantalla funciona, el s pen funciona, tarjeta sim Telcel funciona!, y esta liberado y abrió la pantalla de idioma como si fuera primera vez que se enciende, la verdad estaba asustada por los comentarios que vi ya después de comprarlo y me llego en literalmente 3 días fue rapidísimo lo (enviaron con estafeta) si tenía miedo y grabe mientras abría la caja por si no me llegaba el teléfono o me llegaba algo más pero cuando vi el teléfono fue increíble verlo con sus calcomanías protectoras aún y estoy feliz! Muchas gracias! Recomendable totalmente! PDT: la batería que debe tener 5000mah en realidad tenia 4840mah :] pero despues de 1 semana de uso puedo decir que es lo mismo, llevo 2 meses usándolo ahora, #1 me llego la actualización de versión UI: 6.1, cámara 100%, #2 soy una persona que usa su celular todo el día desde las 8 am a las 7 pm tengo un 40% así que 🤔 jugarás tu, #3 el spen aveces no me lo detecta cuando lo vuelvo a guardar pero lo saco lo volteo vuelvo a meter y yap, #4 puedo ver videos de YouTube mientras veo instagran o otra cosa amo, #5 se me a caído en agua 1 vez pero todo bien 🙂, #6 mientras más pantallas abiertas más rápido se drena la batería y por último #7 si veo un video mientras estoy en llamada tengo que quitar altavoz y volverlo a poner si no la otra persona ya no me escucha bien. Eso es todo 👍 esta es mi experiencia de compra espero que la tuya sea igual de buena o mejor 👍 😉

Phone is exactly as described. 512 gigs of memory. 12 gigs of ram. Works well when editing videos. Phone was in perfect condition, except for one minor scratch on the corner. Glad I didn't listen to the bad reviews. I've always bought refurbished phones. Never had a problem.

Me llego un equipo en excelentes condiciones,sin rayones y con sus accesorios,hasta ahorita no tengo ninguna queja,vale la pena ya q es un equipo de gama alta ,y lo q recibí lo vale en su precio.

La verdad me estaba arrepintiendo despues de haber hecho la compra, no me fijé en la calificación que tenía en vendedor, había leido comentarios que no les había llegado lo que habían comprado, así que videograbé todo desde el momento de mi entrega. afortunadamente me llegó el producto que pedí. Para ser reacondicionado le daría una puntuación de 9.5, se veía un poco despintada la parte inferior del teléfono, pero con su funda quedó perfecto.

El precio es adecuado para un producto remanofacturado la funcionalidad es total, pero hay pixeles muertos en el borde de la cámara. El precio por el equipo de 1TB fue adecuado, el teléfono funciona perfectamente y no ha sido abierto o reparado. Raspones menores, estéticamente aceptable.
