I wish everyone had a good experience. I myself am quite happy with mine and the wife is happy with hers. I do not disregard the individuals that have had or are having issues, but the SD version in the US has been pretty good (not all). The Exy one seems to have the most issues and even with that, a lot are much happier since they got firmware updates. Is it worth the money? To tell you the truth none of the phones are worth what they are charging. Why did I get two? Me and the wife had S21+ phones and were quite happy with them. I got them on a buy one get one free offer 2 years ago. Went to look at switching providers (Verizon to T-Mobile) and they had $1000 trade-in for the S21 when switching to T-Mobile, so I ended up only paying $200 a piece for the two phones and actually made $1000 on one of the phones, so thought why not. All in all it has been a great experience. I am not getting that much of a difference from my S21+, but my older eyes do like the bigger screen.

In the end, I hope all of you that are not happy either get your issues resolved or find a phone that makes you happy. Myself, I am quite pleased.

Don't own the turd, investigated it prerelease and quickly realized it's a lemon. Glad you like yours but I won't invest in a lottery hoping I get lucky on an expensive "flagship" Do a bit of research and find a comparable device on XDA with more problems and complaints. The turds all yours!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dalepl:
Well, my turd is polished. : )

Besides, you really should not make comments if you have not or do not even have one. Just saying.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Again, you make claims without evidence. If we went by your "40%" figure, that would mean for every 1,000,000 devices sold, there is 400,000 units that are having issues. Based on estimated daily sales of 24,000 units per day for 94 days puts it at around 2,208,00 sold (that includes the S22, S22+) That would mean that over 880,000 are having issues. If that many units were having issues, then there would be a huge outcry from the media.

You are basing your beliefs on a very small, but vocal minority; as well as trolls who are making false claims just to get attention. Which based on everything you've said so far, I believe you are the latter.

So, yes you can keep the turd.

Oh and here is a PhoneArena review that came out about a month after it was released.

Galaxy S22 Ultra popularity proves Samsung was wise to kill the Galaxy Note line

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is reportedly more popular than the S22 and S22+ in the US thanks at least in part to the lack of Galaxy Note competition.

www.phonearena.com
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
A small group here that dedicate their free time looking for dirt on the S22U and or bragging incessantly about their N10+. They don't own the phone, yet here they are day in and day out trying to get under our skin with their constant trolling.

Trolls thrive on attention. I suggest we ignore them. Ridicule doesn't seem to be working.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Actually, there's a pretty large group that you chose to overlook who regret buying the Ultra. Put this in your pipe and smoke it. Samsung made a number of misrepresentations regarding the specs. They stated the display would be capable of running as low as 10Hlz Refresh Rate. The S22 would have a Vapor Chamber to disipate heat. They rigged the GOS to get favorable results on Geekbench and were banned.

Now we know SoC Yields in Samsung Foundries is pathetic, 35% for SD's and even worse for Exynos at 25%, that's part of the reason Qualcomm and Apple pulled all future production commitments. So knowing all this who would be surprised for Samsung to meet it's production targets they cleared a certain amount of their defective chips into final assembly? They've clearly dropped the ball and are only now admitting it.

https://en.gizchina.it/2022/03/samsung-exynos-snapdragon-4-nm-problemi/

If that isn't troublesome enough add in the plagued integration of Android 12 with Samsung's half-baked OneUI 4.1 Skin. Numerous updates which in many cases have created additional functional defects. Denial isn't a river in Egypt, long live the TURD!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
Can't argue in general with your points - RAM management is much to be desired for, however it does well what I use it for and that's what matters - ymmv
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
A12 integration with the S22 specifically is a disaster - no doubt about it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but no one has to agree with it. In your case, you may be disappointed because certain performance expectations weren't met - understandably so you are "crying foul".

However, that doesn't mean everyone else looks at it through the same optics and has different expectations. In the end you may have ended up literally with a lemon or turd as you said. Who knows.

Things may improve over time or not. After all- Rome wasn't built in a day.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Good if it serves its mission for you.

I'm irritated at Samsung for their lack of innovation and functionality as well as Android for not exceeding what this 3 year N10+ (one on Pie, the other running on 10) provides. I never thought I would choose a 3 yo phone over 3 generations of new Samsung flagships. Literally that's exactly what I did based on overall usability/functionality/build quality and form factor for my purposes.

Samsung lost their way starting with the N20U, a mess compared to the N10+, then they lost the SD card slot and even the name Note. At least they lost the cam hump with the S22U, but the added weight and thickness are liabilities that don't serve the S22U users well especially for ease of use and in drops which will happen. The spen placement is horrible unless your left handed or ambidextrous. The lower latency spen be nice but not when it's such a pain to deploy.

I haven't seen a in depth display review but like all variable refresh rate displays the color rendering index and white point are likely less than the N10+.

The ram management is just another dropped ball, hopefully Samsung will correct that mess. However the issues may lie in the chipset architecture and not be correctable with firmware. Worse this dino N10+ sports a 1.5 tb dual drive, even a 1 tb single drive phone can't compete with that or provide a stand alone data drive.

So yeah, I'm not pleased with Samsung's overall progress one bit. A lot of smoke but not much rubber biting into the asphalt. Bad Samsung.

Add to that the mess that is Android 12; how many work arounds does Samsung provide for scoped storage? Something Samsung should've put more effort into for those that don't want the app numbing Apple secure feeling and lack of expandable storage.

Goggle/Samsung there are reasons I don't want an Apple but you seem hell bent on turning these devices into green Apple wannabes.

A real masterpiece... *grrrrr* feel the wuv.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Again, you provide no evidence. No where in the article does it say there's is a "pretty large group." Those are your words. Are the Exynos devices not performing as well as the Snap Dragon variants? Yes, but the Exynos variants' performance historically heaves not been the same as Snap Dragon powered devices.

Android 12 integration with the S22 is great. My S22 Ultra has been running great since day one. I have the 512GB Snap Dragon version (Verizon) and haven't had any problems.

I don't think it is a problem with the S22 Ultra in general or Exynos powered devices in particular. I'm betting that if you were to dig deeper, you'd find that most of the issues are happening with the128GB version (both Exynos and Snap Dragon). There is a significant performance difference between the 128GB and the 256GB and larger variants. The 256GB and larger storage modules are significantly faster.

Also, the 128GB variant has 8GB of RAM, where as the 256GB and larger all have 12GB of RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
I do have the 512GB SD as well, the phone does well for what I need it for. Maybe overkill for my use, but I am good with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
Yeah. I came from the Note 10+ 5G 512GB w/512GB microSD card installed, and it was (and still is) a great phone. Probably the best Note branded phone to date.

My S22 Ultra does very well for what I use it for, and like you, it is probably overkill. I chose the S22 Ultra over the S22+ because the latter didn't come in a 512GB or 1TB version. Android 12 works great, although I use Microsoft Launcher in lieu of OneUI.

My wife has the S22+ 256GB (Verizon) and my daughter has the S22 256GB (unlocked version on Verizon). Both are Snap Dragon and they are very happy with their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] michaelxy:
I sadly own this s.... for 1080€ Upgrade from working Note9. Tha last 3,5 years my Note9 could make telephone calls. Its the s... phone the last 30 years I have. Samsung S22U is Nokia 2.0 Samsung Support is HELL. No statment since 3 month from samsung about this calling problems. If not corrected with an update - I will buy a china 'flagship' and NEVER any samsung device at all.

O2 germany said they cant exchange it. I send it to w-support.com. And o big wonder - its "all ok with my phone". The make only 0815 test but are not interessted to solve the calling issues. I canged the sim card, because w-support.com said, my sim ist broken. I changed it for 30€ -thanks o2 - and calling issues still persist - make a call. The other side answered - BUT I CAN NOT HEAR the other side. The calling errors may be at 20% of the call. A phone who cant make a call is a joke.

READ THE LINK above -and yes WE all are idiots. I guess I had my first handy someone from you was not an planet earth. ┤Mod Edit├┤Colourful closure removed. Don't push it.├

Try a hard reboot and clearing system cache on the boot menu.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Guess something got lost in the translation...

The Samsung members forum sponsored by Samsung has more useful tech support than Samsung tech support. Cross model, OS version Samsung/XDA Google searches for the same issue can be very useful. Many issues span both device/OS version/generations and models/🤣

Generally I just play with it until I find a solution. On a stock Samsung this technic works well. Updates are the cause of nearly all issues for me now. OTA firmware updates/upgrades are always blocked... nothing but trouble.

Now im on a dillemma jumped from s10 + to oneplus because of clean software... After 12 android after wipes its buggy as hell...sometimes no one could call me and so on...now as i have oneplus one 9pro for a year...i need something new..wanted s 22 ultra but in my country only stupid exynos.... With sn 1 gen xiomi 12 pro one plus 10......now the xperia IV but for the sony 1400 eur a bit too much....

Dunno what to choose....mby take the ultra...

Im not a gamer but i eant maximum what i can get.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you want something new... that's biggest, newest Samsung there is. Personally I took a new N10+ over all the newer Samsung flagships.

The only close runner up was the N20U, but the N10+ still won out.

With no SD card slot there are many other manufacturer flagships to choose from albeit less the spen and One UI. I would wait until at least this fall, but don't expect any miracles from drop the ball Samsung. This year isn't going to be a good year for Samsung flagships.

Just not much bang for the big bucks...

Never been happier than with rhis phone. Everything's perfect ! Battery, smooth as hell, photos/videos... i''m just in love with it 😍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
Yes and no. The value of the object is in the eye of the beholder 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blestsol:
I wish I could lie and say its perfect but its not. I use both my pixel 6 pro and this to get an even feeling but I had to go through that entire optimization thread to make my s22 ulta comparable to my pixel. Most new people wont know to do that. And its a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Optimizing is needed for most, lol, all Samsung's.

Not a big deal once you learn how... to be expected.

More troubling is it's ill conceived form factor and its display's apparent fragility. The slow ram when loaded was never seen previously from the N10+ until this model. That maybe firmware but if it's hardware it's a real big deal. At least some of the S22U's slow to a crawl trying to open apps once the ram starts loading up. This is more like prototype than a shook out flagship phone🧐

The lack of the SD card slot on this huge flagship is an Apple in anyone's eye who buys it.

Sammy's gotten so two faced they can't even remember the name... Note! Or which side the spen goes.

3 screwed up flagship releases and Applesuace just doesn't stop. Samsung #10

just got an s22 ultra 3 days ago. already listed it for sale.. its not as good as my Xiaomi mi11 with a custom rom... well the camera is.. though the rest isn'.t
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
You are not providing enough information to go by ex. EXYNOS/SD? Need more time to let the phone settle in, and then your expectations may vary from other users. But you are making the right choice - if not satisfied, get rid of it!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The S22U form factor sucks. Thick, heavy, inconvenient spen placement with a lot of broken displays being reported from minor incidents.

No expandable memory.

The cam improvements are nice but not ground shattering. Samsung placed too much effort into the cams in recent models forgetting that they are phones. Many times to the point of trading form factor and functionality for cam performance.

Samsung decided to cancel their loyal Note power users. That's like playing Russian roulette with a single barrel sawed off shotgun. Brilliant leadership Sammy...

By all means cancel the S22U and all it's non Note brothering.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
No it wasn't because Samsung forgot its name, the SD card slot and what side the spen goes on.🤣

Samsung started losing their edge with the hump back spen lefty N20U. Fast forward to the S22U with an extra ounce of weight so you can feel the fail and see it when it breaks the display in a small drop.

Now it's just another S model. Brilliant.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I've hoisted numerous technical articles, reviews, links by very reputable publishers and individuals statements regarding issues with the S22 Ultra. You on the other hand have noted nothing more than your own opinion. So let's see what you have to back up your chatter besides a few pathetic fanboys who share your view, that the S22 Ultra has few defects compared to any other flagship devices and the vast majority of user's are very happy with the phone.

Isn't it truly amazing the incredible S22 Ultra with trouble free operation has such disastrous resale valuations? Very out character for a topshelf device. Yes, everyone knows iPhones have better resale value but we've never seen anything like this, proves you can’t polish a turd!

The Samsung Galaxy S22 has terrible resale value

Why the Galaxy S22 Ultra Is a Massive Disappointment - Mark Ellis Reviews

I've been using the Galaxy S22 Ultra for a couple of months now, and I've not been this angry about a product for some time.

markellisreviews.com

Here's the bottom line for me. The S22 Ultra is a Note profile of which I've never been a fan. If it were a traditional profile I would be more compelled to own it. But even if it was the other concern is how likely is it I'd be dumping a wad cash on a device that I had high confidence it would trouble free? With my S21 Ultra that high level of confidence existed. With all that's been shared the S22 Ultra, even in prerelease information, it's far from a reasonable certainty that it would be essentially trouble free. Plus who wants to wait months for updates (which haven't gone well), jump through tons of hoops just to get it configured properly or return it for repair or replacement? For a $1,000 - $1,600 flagship there's no excuse as to why it isn't ready right out of the box.

Also any honest person has seen the longer it's been around, more significant issues have come to light. Bottom line a shaky investment in an expensive "flagship". I'm not obsessed with throwing rocks at any smartphone but if you can’t see all the problems I don't know what to tell you. It is what it is!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
I see, so it's all Fake News. That's a relief!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] varcor:
Try not to tell anyone on this thread, some actually believe it's a fantastic flagship...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Are you guys kidding? Or are you just some other brand fanboy and want to talk bad about this phone?

The S22 Ultra doesn't lag at all, it's very smooth, and I have a bunch of background apps running. Battery time is ok. I didn't had many phones, since they cost is ridiculously high where I leave, but I've never seen a phone with a really good battery life. We're always disappointed with this trait, lol.

The S22U have it all, good camera, smoothUI, excellent display. And the advantage of a perfect spen that no other phone has.

If I were to list the bad sides of this phone, the only thing that it's not good are the speakers. They seem to be too quiet. I didn't try to make them louder with software, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
No SD card.

This dual drive 1.5 tb N10+ gets better battery life with a battery nearing the end of its service life, it's 1oz lighter with a better display/bezel ratio. Samsung boned it, again...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Griffin7296:
He is correct as it pertains to the EXYNOS model - nothing but bad news
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
All models with 8gb of ram too have ram issues.

The N10+ was Samsung's zenith.

Maybe next year they will regain their senses, but don't count on it...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Dude, flagships nowadays doesn't have SD card slot. Comparing to an old flagship will make you always argue that. Samsung doesn't put sd card since S20. And they probably won't anymore.

Battery life is very relative. It varies with kinds of use. And there are ways to make it last longer. Anyway, I have no issue with my battery. It's similar to my S21plus: i always carry at night and lasts all day with about 20-30%. The S22 Ultra seems to last a bit longer.

Are those two reasons why you say S22 Ultra is a bad phone and Samsung messed up?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Dude, with 5000 mAh battery its SOT should be stellar.

No excuses... this flagship needs and should have expandable storage.

With an expensive 128gb base model with 8gb of ram, Samsung is a sick joke.

I was born at night but not last night...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Ok, your complains apply to several Samsung (and other brands) flagships. It's not something exclusive to S22 Ultra.

My S21 plus had a 4500 mAh battery and lasted a bit less.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Exactly. The N20+ was flawed but the S21 twisted the knife for a no win kill blow.

Samsung's Note flagships have lost usability, form factor and functionality since the N10+.

Samsung is Disney fail bad at this point... that's a lot of self made fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Well, then you can go in every flagship thread and talk bad about the phone.

The point is, for todays standards (no sd card, no earbud entry, battery life, etc..) the S22 Ultra *is* a good phone. Very good, actually, since it excells in many categories.

Also, you talk as if Samsung is the only one going this path. Almost every brand is following the Apple bs.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Actually by form factor, battery life and susceptibility to drop damage alone it is not... in my opinion.

Time will tell... I'm calling it now. In fact I rejected the S22U back in October on its prereleased specs alone when I bought a second new N10+.

Next runner up was a new N20U, otherwise I be holding the S22U in my hand right now. I wanted a kickass improved Samsung Note. Samsung failed to deliver and still wants the big bucks. NO.

I'm good for 3+ more years with 2 N10+'s unless Samsung and Google Android get it together.

I use whatever works well and fulfills its mission.

Until then expect me to rip Samsung to pieces when they fail, a stone cold pleasure.

Unless you need a lefty spen there are better flagship phones from Samsung's competitors.

I didn't destroy Samsung's market edge, an inept Samsung did it all by themselves🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
So you're angry that Samsung moved to S Pen to left side. Its all about you and you're throwing a temper tantrum because Samsung dared to defy you. That says a lot about you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ffp.:
Ok, that makes my point that you have a problem with the last 3 flagships and probably will have with the nexts, maybe with all from now on.

There are people who doesn't care about top hardware flagships and is very happy with their old galaxy s6 or something running Android 4.4.

All the issues you said ar common ground now or just irrelevant. The spen postition is completely irrelevant, since you need both hands to deploy it.
