ZDNET’s Matthew Miller spoke highly of this phone, and wrote in 2022 that the “S22 Ultra is clearly the best Android smartphone available today.” What makes it stand out is its design elements, gorgeous display, and impressive picture quality. Miller took jaw-dropping images of the moon and a train station that showcased the superior cameras incorporated into this Samsung powerhouse.

The usual $1,199 price tag for this phone has been cut by 33% on Amazon for the phantom black, 128GB version. That puts the factory-unlocked phone at $799.

One thing I love about this phone is the included S Pen that fits neatly into the phone when you’re not using it. How useful would it be to sketch or jot down a quick note with this pen? The embedded pen is useful for quick video edits as well. 

The phone is unlocked by Samsung, so you can choose your carrier and all the extras on your own, with no strings attached. This is just the S22 Ultra, customizable to your preferences.
