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

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!

If I could leave a 0 for Samsung I would, Amazons been great btw. I bought this phone September 12, 2024. Carrier coverage worked fantastic, cameras are amazing, still are amazing. Fast forward to February of 2025 thats when my cell coverage would randomly drop after doing an update. I contacted my carrier support, and spent hours troubleshooting, they asked me to check for updates, low and behold I had more updates cross fingers. After doing the updates I now have no cell service. Looked online and there are a lot of S22 Ultras and the newer Samsung phones with the same issue after updates from Samsung. Ive tried two different carriers, all networks Verizon, T-mobile, and ATT nothing except in satuated cell coverages like phoenix it will randomly gain and drop cell service. Ive read the 5g antennas and sim tray board can be faulty from the factory, had a shop change them with no success. Im in contact with Samsung to try and get the phone fixed, they had me go to a shop that said its more than likely the motherboard/mainboard for the phone, we cant fix that it'll have to be sent to Samsung to be fixed. Recontact Samsung and they can't even give me a price on how much its going to cost me to fix their updates screwing up my phone. Really disappointed with Samsung not standing behind their updates and products. I used to love Samsung, i had to move my sim card into my Note 10 plus and it works perfectly no cell issues at all. I will try and update after sending the phone to Samsung. Update 8/12/2025 Soo i sold the phone and bought a Pixel 9pro xl and it works perfectly with my carrier and no issues. I have a friend that has his s22U starting to have issues. My wifes S21U is now having connection issues and I've bought her a Pixel 7 pro. I dont know whats up with Samsung but they need to figure some stuff out. I wont be buying Samsung anymore. I love their camera which is my main point in buying a smart phone. its sad but theyve lost me as a customer.

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.

Two weeks ago, I decided to buy my partner a new phone - a new (or slightly used but more affordable) Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra - Phantom Black - 256gig! I started looking at many retailers and this specific listing for less than $800 was heavily considered but eventually I opted for BestBuy's open box condition for $1145 plus the additional cost for 2 day shipping. Despite the varying prices between the phone I purchased from BestBuy vs this specific listing, all other descriptions of the phone and condition were identical. I just trusted BestBuy more and dismissed the extra $350 as they were more reputable sources for electronics. What a mistake that was! The 2 day shipping turned into 8, having actually started shipment on day 7. When it finally arrived, setup took 2 hours. There were some noticeable issues that I dismissed as a bug in the latest update (wireless connectivity being sporadic and frequently disconnecting, S pen not being recognized when slotted in the phone, apps crashing or becoming unresponsive) and just reached out to BestBuy for the fifth time to request a refund on the shipping cost as they did not deliver on that service. This night, I was informed that there was a price drop to $967 prior to shipment and that I would be reimbursed the difference. This conversation carried on for 30 minutes until the agent became unresponsive for the remaining 40. All other agents I talked with that night refused to uphold this reimbursement for "policy" which is understandable but as this was now an accrued 7 hours pursuing refund for shipping and that had still not been granted, I GAVE UP. I couldn't take it anymore! As soon as that chat ended, I placed my order from here with 2 day shipping with hopes of receiving it by Friday so I could set it up and have the BestBuy phone ready for return by Saturday. It is now Friday night. The phone delivered this morning. Setup was SO MUCH FASTER taking less than 40 minutes including a full data transfer from the previous phone and it has presented no issues whatsoever! I should have just gone with this in the very first place! Definitely will be shopping Amazon's refurbished for my electronics - very tempted to close my BestBuy account altogether!

Great phone, but comes with few consmetic scratches and dings if you buy in "Refurbished - Good" condition. If appearances are worth the $20, Buy "Refurbished - Excellent".

Great phone, and you would never know it was renewed. Amazon renewed phone program is one of the best out there - hands down. Trustworthy and you get what you want. Buy Azure on protection for a couple years, and your good to go. I've never had a problem and have saved thousands buying these renewed phones. Sure, In usually a model or two behind, but who really cares? The differences are always so minimal. Why thought thousands out for a new phone when you can buy one outright for a few hundred.

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.

Refurbished Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is in excellent condition and works like new. The display, camera and battery performance are impressive, making it a great value for the price. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a premium phone at a more affordable cost.

Buen producto y llego ntesde la fecha establecida Me gustaría ponerme en contacto con el vendedor, cómo le puedo hacer? Gracias

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.
