Samsung S22 Ultra in cool green.
5/5
This Samsung S22 Ultra from ao is a classic Samsung. It has a beautifully big screen, is fast, responsive and comes with a camera that is just superb. The photos are something else and that extra quality is easy to notice. When looking to make the purchase I wasn't sure that it would be that important but now seeing the difference I am glad I chose the Ultra.
The phone is big, the screen is big, so bear that in mind. The battery life is OK. It's not the longest but I charge my phone every night, so not a problem. The memory size could be bigger, there is no expansion slot of an external SD card, but then again, data is uploaded instantly and music and video is streamed, meaning less need for a huge internal memory. As usual the Samsung android OS is smooth and lush. Loads of features, security and options. The S-pen is not that important but does make playing with handnotes and doodling fun. It is one of the most responsive pens I've used and unlike the Fold series pops into the phone body neatly out of the way. Don't worry about losing it as the phone beeps at you if you seperate the two. It has taken a few trips into the settings to tame the lock screen behaviour but that was solved with some trial and error.
This was a refurbished phone and initially I was a little concerned. I have good faith in ao as I have bought other items through them in the past and I wasn't disappointed. Unboxing was like opening a brand new phone. There were absolutely no marks or scratches anywhere and no feeling at all that this had been handled by anyone else. Best of all the price was good. If you are looking for confidence to make this choice then I would recommend it.
