Iam keeping my s22ultra until December r January iam going to give it to my wife it's been a great phone I've dropped it about 4r5 times still works 👍 great to anyone who wants to buy one I suggest you to go ahead in get it great phone 📱.
Now u underatand why and how performing processaors and camera image destroied each time an upgrade come in form actualization securities and blablabla
Agreed. I have an S24U and my wife has her S22U. The battery is the biggest difference IMHO. And yes, it does run a little slower but not a deal breaker. The increase in the years for updates is longer and price drop made theS23U and S24U doable.
@@Darkandcrimson Not really, it just uses up really fast. My phone right now says it should last like 20 hours on a single charge, but if I use it all day, it will probably only last for about 5-6 hours. Even if changing the refresh rate to 60, 720p screen and default processing speed, it still drains really quickly.
That part, my battery lasts maybe 5 hours so its gotta be charged at least twice a day, but I paid 1250 for it cash so I'm using it til I break it or it's obsolete.
I've had my s22 ultra since launch. Its still running just as good as it was day 1. I'm upgrading to the 25 ultra, very excited. Its just like a car, keep up with the maintenance and it'll last a long time.
Honestly having had this phone for just around 5 months I'm excited to upgrade to an S25U. Don't think, apart from battery, that many other phones have aged as well in 3 years.
Despite what people said regarding the original 8G1 processor, the majority of people had a great time with this device. The updates only made it better in my time with it. Could fairly easily get 7-8 hours screen time with it. The hardware with this device was great and honestly most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference between this and one of the newer devices.
Bought this phone refurbished for around $430 around 4 months ago. Love how it performs on just everyday use. Would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a flagship on a budget. Only real drawback is tne battery but its to be expected. Thing is still beautiful and solid all around. Planning to upgrade to an S25U once it comes out, but still keeping it as my daily. Held the S24U hands on and it seems they've hit everything on the nail on that one from screen brightness, to cameras, and speed.
Mine is a Phantom Black Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.. After update, it has everything the S23 Ultra and S23 Ultra updated or came with.. Frankly, it performs great.. I got 2 days++ of battery and works great.. No complaints.. As we know, newer phones have better processing etc. But this S22 Ultra does stack up with those updated ones.. Just view back the S22 Ultra reviews when it first launched.. I still feel the same way since the day I bought it..
one UI 6.1.1 update is already up. It has the sketch to image, voice recording to notes. It can summarize the voice recording. so pretty much almost all the AI features. there is just a couple right now that the S22 does not support.
I got mine in March 2022. March 2025 is a few months away and I still love my phone. After 22 months I noticed the battery degrade, and I'd have to charge up 2-3x daily. My screen cracked over the summer, maybe 6-7 months ago and they swapped out my battery for a new one when they replaced the screen. My phone lasts all day again after some recent updates, and I feel like it can last me well over another year.
I absolutely know how this phone feels with a new battery. I cannot believe how good it is since all the updates. Samsung has done an amazing job on this phone. I have been shocked with how good it is now.
I'm still using the iphone 13 pro... I used to always buy the newest galaxy or iphone but don't see the point in it anymore. Both manufactures barely change the design anymore and only make minor upgrades which most people simply don't need.
The S-22 series is excellent and powerful, the only drawback is the battery. If Samsung could solve a problem, it would become an uncompetitive device.
I've never stopped using my s22 ultra 512gb burgundy. Every year they keep replacing it but I can't justify buying a new 23 or 24 ultra when side by side comparisons offer up so little in the way of upgrades . The camera is amazing still and I love the screen. I still get through a full day easily as well . No stutters or crashes or any bad behaviour. As luck would have it , a deal came up with my Telco that allowed me to pick up a pixel 9 pro 512gb for less than a 10 dollar increase per month on my bill. This will be my first Pixel ever , even though I previously owned all the Nexus devices . Still , my s22 ultra still occasionally tugs on my heart strings or a subject appears that's just a little bit out of reach for the pixel or some other feature that I grew to rely on for the last 3 years . Luckily, it hasn't been all that often. For now , it's playing the role of my security blankie by living in my other pocket 😊
ive upgraded from my Xiaomi Mi11 which has a few S21 Ultra features too was competetive in a lot of areas but thew Snap888s burning heat and batterylife sucked so notits my secondary phone doing a lot less and now im on my S23 Ultra, huge differences :D
@@tyonorshapzc7tjfvb7-caz Noice, I'm glad you found a device that you're quite satisfied with. Personally, I use my laptop exponentially more than my phone so heat or battery life are fine for my needs.
Still using both the S20ultra & the S22ultra. The S24 is my new but those older ones still run great. I do also use iPhones 13ProMax & 16ProMax. These are all great. iOS+Android=❤
@@Josh_Quinonez Yearly upgrades don't make sense, but a leap from let's say, a Samsung Note 10 to Samsung S24 Ultra is gonna feel great. Although Note 10 is still *usable* to this day and it still is the greatest phone Samsung ever made Imho, but the improvements of the current Gen from that too far a leap is too enticing.
Mine is still holding up well. As you said, battery life is decent but I have the 45W chargers, so it recharges very quickly. Samsung has been as bad as Apple with the very slow rate of changes and innovations with their Galaxy S series phones. Apart from better battery life, there is no real improvements with the S23, S24 and now the upcoming S25 series. You know it's bad when Samsung themselves recently apologised for not being innovative enough with their flagship phones. And now that I received most of the newer AI features with a recent update, there's even less reason to upgrade to the upcoming S25 series. All I would be doing is paying for a very expensive new battery because that's the only real benefit. Samsung, when you finally offer real hardware improvements instead of all this AI fluff, I'll upgrade and not before. Before I got the S22 Ultra, I had the Note 9. It was a really good phone but there were real improvements that made it worth changing over to the S22 Ultra. A larger screen, higher refresh rate, much improved cameras with that excellent high zoom and 45W charging. All worthy changes. But now improvements have slowed to an Apple trickle. And dear Samsung. I don't give a stuff about being able to digitally insert a duck next to a glass of beer in a picture. Just saying. I'm not 8 yrs old.
It's so refreshing seeing a Samsung fan. Tell the truth and not a bunch of BS because they like the brand. I personally like iOS and Android. I do wish Samsung would bring us at least a 1-inch sensor for the camera.. Bigger batteries. Thanks for the honest comment!
Depending on the CPU you got - YES this is STILL a powerful phone! The Exynos version was quite LACKING and SUCKED depending on your use case vs. The Snapdragon version..
Our s22 ultras are practically polar opposites, mine got a pristine back and the screen in demolished lol, can't see the bottom row of my keyboard because the screens green but the cameras are still brilliant battery life has deteriorated a bit from the recent updates buy still performs amazing
Exactly I never even considered the s23 or 24 ultra this is truly a legendary flagship the s22 ultra I put it side by side with any of the phones out right now especially iPhone 16 pro Max this phone will destroy that phone on just about everything and I have the iPhone 15 Plus and I like my iPhone but when I put it next to my s22 ultra it almost looks like an amateur phone compared to this thing Samsung displays and when you get to use good lock and the theme engine like I feed my phone out now that it's spooky season where I can theme my phone all the way through to the icons to the settings pages to the entire phone the calling page you just can't do that stuff on iPhones and can't do it on all Android phones either they don't have a theme engine like Samsung does LG did but LG was my kingpin phone for a while but they went out under so now that LG's gone they're the only ones with a theme store like Samsung but s32 ultras going to be rocking for the next couple years
Still my daily driver. Amd is still great. Works great with my older Galaxy Buds as well as my Buds 3 Pros and my older Galaxy Watches and my Watch 7 Ultra.
Still have one that I use daily for my work phone. It's excellent. I got it on ebay, really a creampuff, barely used 512gb version last year. It will be my work phone for the next 3-4yrs atleast. It just served as my memory pad for a business trip to France. Camera used all day with GPS, Texting, Socials, etc. Not a single hiccup. Battery still at acceptable levels after an entire heavy day.
I got my phone, 1Tb unlocked S22 Ultra, directly from Samsung at launch (with all the freebies) and I use it 24/7 and with all the updates, I have absolutely no reason to get a new phone. I have a full phone wrap and keep a good case on it and make sure I have a firm grip on it, and tbh, maybe dropped it less than 12 times since I've had it. I don't want another phone, and I used to be one of those people who would get the first new thing out on the market, but nothing is coming out that is worth spending as much as I paid for this one, and no newer models are coming out with 1tb, which is my personal preference, so I can definitely wait till there's a huge development.
I've been using this phone, i have a z flip5, and its honestly better than my 1 year old phone. I know the flip didn't have the best processor, but its crazy how well the s22 ultra handles games. If i play something like Genshin on my flip5, the phone continuously crashes. Not to mention the camera is still really good. Its better than my flip 5 and my iphone 13 pro.
Watching this on my S22 Ultra and I got to tell you, I bought the S24 Ultra and I ended up returning it cause it was almost the same phone with better battery and cameras. No other feature came up for me to make me justify having the S24 Ultra. I am planning on upgrading when the S25 ultra comes out if it makes sense. If not, I'll keep my S22 Ultra. I do agree with all you mentioned in your video
I still have mine i have no complaints it's a great phone no issues battery life got better with each update the only reason that I might upgrade is because of battery life but I still can get away all day without having,to charge before I go to bed iam just thinking I might keep it till the s26 comes out
I still love using mine. Battery is not great, but it can get through the day, 90% of the time. I also own the 21U, 23U, and 24U. I would say the best buy for a smart shopper is a 23U in excellent condition. Beast of a phone!
Hahaha I'm still using my s20 Ultra . Apart from a new screen, battery and usb port that all I've had to spend on it after 4 years and it still works perfectly fine.
@Josh_Quinonez yes absolutely. I am going to Japan next year so I'm holding out to see if the S25 is much better than the s24 if not I will go the S24 because of the AI features especially for live translation.
@@Josh_Quinonez it was a outstanding device, my work place apps I use don't work anymore on the LG phone. so I'm forced to upgrade. I also use a lot of DJI cameras and the LGv60 doesn't support those apps so it's time unfortunately. The LGv60 has been a solid phone over the years I wish they still made phones!
My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the first flagship phone I have ever purchased, and I am growing fonder of it with each passing day. However, I encountered an issue after the most recent update: a white line appeared on the top-right side of the phone. I hope that this issue will be resolved in the next update, as it was in the past.
S22 Ultra is a solid phone in 2025. The updates have improved the battery life, and the new equalizer, you can change the sound to Dynamic and it sounds much more fuller.
Still got this device and loving it 💚 As you say, it gets the job done. My only gripe, as you point out, is the battery life. I find it can vary between software updates. Overall, it's an outstanding flagship device 👊
I had it for 2 years, unfortunately... It had thermal issues, especially when compared to the S24 Ultra. (my new phone) Not even close. That SoC was not balanced for heat.
This is one of the phones that I liked the most. A friend really wanted it so I sold him mine last year for his birthday at a very low price. But if I have the chance I will probably buy another one. I don't really like the S24 Ultra and am currently using an S23 Ultra. Since the S25 Ultra doesn't excite me...
well since ive got the 23 i can say that you might not be using your phone all that much if that performance difference in terms of stability and smoothness of a S23 Ultra then well its fine, i dotn even wanna touch a 22 Ultra anymore but this dosent make it a bad phone, more often then not you wont care how it does ^.^ good to see tests years after :)
I have 2 of those phones I have one that I use for work and 1 that I use for personal.. And for some reason they have problems with connecting to cell towers with AT&T have you heard anything about that?
I had one and loved it. Only reason i got my S23 Ultra was because of my 22s couldn't get a signal outside of wifi. Skipped the 24 because to me wasn't worth the upgrade.
Wouldn't s23 ultra be better? Its way more efficient and everything on the s23ultra is just better, And with the price drop when the s25 series comes out.
I have a S22 ultra for the last 1 year, and i think it will last me for the next 3 years atleast, after which i night consider buying an s25 or s26 ultra
I am still using the s20 ultra and only thinking of upgrading now. I have used that device intensively on a daily basis since day one My dilemma is whether to wait for the S25 ultra or get an S24 ultra with 25% off which means i could go for the 512 memory option. Do the UK variants of the S24 ultra come with snapdragon or the other chipset that i can't spell lol Thanks for any help
Me with s21 5g (exynos 2100 version) still happy with the peak performance . But what bothers me is the heating and throttling (inconsistent performance) which Further results in bad battery backup and jitters and lag occasionally when heating
Bro is acting like this phone is 6 years old, like bro the s9 just barely stopped getting software updates a year ago, samsungs phones are built to last and the s22 was intended to Last a good 5 years so this is no surprise being only 3 years old
@@jvgamer6066 indeed, thats what flagships are for. If midrange phones got obsolete after 3 years, I’d understand but crazy asking 2 years old flagships worth it or not in 2024 lol
It has been a great experience for me, but I've mistreated the battery, so it's only lasting me 4 hours now. I'm not sure if I should replace the battery and wait another year or see if the S25 Ultra will be as big an upgrade as rumored 😅
@7cxz8 It's actually described as 6.1 under current software sub heading, but it's actually ONE UI 6.1.1, it will display the actual full number only on the flagship tablets and foldables eligible to receive the update.
I've been using it since the day it came out in 2022 and my girl has the s24 ultra and she would trade me right now she likes mine better I won't trade though because honestly in some ways this is better than the s24 ultra I think it looks more futuristic with the curve display I don't know you can zoom further and better there's just things this is one of the truly legendary flagships you can keep this phone till 2027 and it would still rock
I bought the S24 ultra in mid-November. So it is actually brand new. But now already the S25 ultra is coming at the beginning of February. What do you guys think? Should I trade in my new S24 Ultra for an S25 Ultra?
I have an iPhone8 and thinking of buying s22 ultra should I ? Or should I take s23base ? I want a phone with a great camera and a good zoom ( can't afford s23 ultra but i need to change now)
@katinasoutherland7693 Sure if you want a heater for your hands then it's a fantastic buy 😂 your better of paying alittle more and just get a s23 ultra they fixed the issues from the s22 ultra with the s23 ultra and the software is supported longer on the s23 as well
Got my s22 ultra since release. Unfortunately the Exynos version. Not gonna lie, it does sometimes stutter. Poor battery life. Im not really all too happy with it. Might run it 1 more year until the Pixel 10 drops.
Just bought a refurbished s22 ultra to replace my a54 so I can give that one to my girlfriend. I know the performance difference between the two isn't very big but I really like the extra features from the s pen especially since I'm a graphic designer.
So you think this phone is still worth it in 2024?? Thanks for watching!
My s22ultra has been a great phone I had it sense it came out after every update it gets better I think I might try something different thow

I got my phone, 1Tb unlocked S22 Ultra, directly from Samsung at launch (with all the freebies) and I use it 24/7 and with all the updates, I have absolutely no reason to get a new phone. I have a full phone wrap and keep a good case on it and make sure I have a firm grip on it, and tbh, maybe dropped it less than 12 times since I've had it. I don't want another phone, and I used to be one of those people who would get the first new thing out on the market, but nothing is coming out that is worth spending as much as I paid for this one, and no newer models are coming out with 1tb, which is my personal preference, so I can definitely wait till there's a huge development.
Ever since the note 10 series all these phones look the same from the front so anything note 10 or newer still looks 100% modern
I've been using this phone, i have a z flip5, and its honestly better than my 1 year old phone. I know the flip didn't have the best processor, but its crazy how well the s22 ultra handles games. If i play something like Genshin on my flip5, the phone continuously crashes. Not to mention the camera is still really good. Its better than my flip 5 and my iphone 13 pro.
Watching this on my S22 Ultra and I got to tell you, I bought the S24 Ultra and I ended up returning it cause it was almost the same phone with better battery and cameras. No other feature came up for me to make me justify having the S24 Ultra. I am planning on upgrading when the S25 ultra comes out if it makes sense. If not, I'll keep my S22 Ultra. I do agree with all you mentioned in your video
@@learzetur6 yeah you're definitely not going wrong just keeping it 👍
I still have mine i have no complaints it's a great phone no issues battery life got better with each update the only reason that I might upgrade is because of battery life but I still can get away all day without having,to charge before I go to bed iam just thinking I might keep it till the s26 comes out
I still love using mine. Battery is not great, but it can get through the day, 90% of the time. I also own the 21U, 23U, and 24U. I would say the best buy for a smart shopper is a 23U in excellent condition. Beast of a phone!
Hahaha I'm still using my s20 Ultra . Apart from a new screen, battery and usb port that all I've had to spend on it after 4 years and it still works perfectly fine.
As long as it still works, that's all that matters👍
@Josh_Quinonez yes absolutely. I am going to Japan next year so I'm holding out to see if the S25 is much better than the s24 if not I will go the S24 because of the AI features especially for live translation.
I'm about to buy one today, my current phone is the LGV60 and it's time for an upgrade.
Dang the LG V60!? Oh yeah it's time Lol But I will say the LG V60 seemed like a great device back then.
@@Josh_Quinonez it was a outstanding device, my work place apps I use don't work anymore on the LG phone. so I'm forced to upgrade. I also use a lot of DJI cameras and the LGv60 doesn't support those apps so it's time unfortunately. The LGv60 has been a solid phone over the years I wish they still made phones!
Welcome to 2024 bro 😂 nah, the V60 was a damn good phone.
I upgraded to a s24 and love it . The s22 ultra is still a good phone though
with some optimzation tricks the battery is quite good and perfomance too
My Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the first flagship phone I have ever purchased, and I am growing fonder of it with each passing day. However, I encountered an issue after the most recent update: a white line appeared on the top-right side of the phone. I hope that this issue will be resolved in the next update, as it was in the past.
S22 Ultra is a solid phone in 2025. The updates have improved the battery life, and the new equalizer, you can change the sound to Dynamic and it sounds much more fuller.
Still got this device and loving it 💚 As you say, it gets the job done. My only gripe, as you point out, is the battery life. I find it can vary between software updates. Overall, it's an outstanding flagship device 👊
Got my s22 ultra in 2022 and its still amazing. I use it for alot. Its my work phone and my iphone 16 pro is my play phone.
Yup it's still a beast 💪
This phone is still a high technology dynamo even now at the end of 2024.
It's funny people are still talking about green lines its crazy
Really? On the S22 Ultra?
@Josh_Quinonez it happens frequently on s22ultra
@@Josh_Quinonez yeah sadly, mine just got the green line problem recently after my warranty ended for about a week. Weird.
I loved mine but I traded it in for $625 for the pixel 9 pro XL.
That's not a bad deal at all 👍
Sad that Samsung will stop oneUi/android updates after 4 years since this phone is still impressive
Samsung is the king of smartphones period
👑
I still have my Samsung Galaxy S10+ and I'm still using it as my main phone 😅
That's a great device. One of my favorites!
I'm watching now on my S22Ultra from Burma (Myanmar )🤞
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
I had it for 2 years, unfortunately... It had thermal issues, especially when compared to the S24 Ultra. (my new phone) Not even close. That SoC was not balanced for heat.
Same experience here :/
And that's prolly why the battery is shit.
Still rocking with my s9+... soon I'm gonna upgrade to s22 ultra
I'm back after I got my burgundy s22 ultra... it's so amazing and I love it 🫡
@eddynationpro That's awesome! Glad you're loving it
This is one of the phones that I liked the most. A friend really wanted it so I sold him mine last year for his birthday at a very low price. But if I have the chance I will probably buy another one. I don't really like the S24 Ultra and am currently using an S23 Ultra. Since the S25 Ultra doesn't excite me...
I am watching this on my carrier S22, small and fast.
How did your phone's back glass break so badly?
How many hours usage per full charge
well since ive got the 23 i can say that you might not be using your phone all that much if that performance difference in terms of stability and smoothness of a S23 Ultra then well its fine, i dotn even wanna touch a 22 Ultra anymore but this dosent make it a bad phone, more often then not you wont care how it does ^.^ good to see tests years after :)
bro these devices are built to run for at least 5 years. I had a Note 20 Ultra, and it still runs super smooth.
I have 2 of those phones I have one that I use for work and 1 that I use for personal.. And for some reason they have problems with connecting to cell towers with AT&T have you heard anything about that?
I had one and loved it. Only reason i got my S23 Ultra was because of my 22s couldn't get a signal outside of wifi. Skipped the 24 because to me wasn't worth the upgrade.
Wouldn't s23 ultra be better? Its way more efficient and everything on the s23ultra is just better, And with the price drop when the s25 series comes out.
Of course it's better. But for those who still have an S22 Ultra, it's still not that bad of a phone
I still have mine, and it runs fine. I still plan on grading to throw S25 ultra when it comes out
I have a S22 ultra for the last 1 year, and i think it will last me for the next 3 years atleast, after which i night consider buying an s25 or s26 ultra
My S22 Ultra is still running the gambit.
I am still using the s20 ultra and only thinking of upgrading now. I have used that device intensively on a daily basis since day one
My dilemma is whether to wait for the S25 ultra or get an S24 ultra with 25% off which means i could go for the 512 memory option.
Do the UK variants of the S24 ultra come with snapdragon or the other chipset that i can't spell lol
Thanks for any help
Me with s21 5g (exynos 2100 version) still happy with the peak performance . But what bothers me is the heating and throttling (inconsistent performance) which Further results in bad battery backup and jitters and lag occasionally when heating
Bro is acting like this phone is 6 years old, like bro the s9 just barely stopped getting software updates a year ago, samsungs phones are built to last and the s22 was intended to Last a good 5 years so this is no surprise being only 3 years old
I have a friend who trade forex like crazy and still using the s9, bro thought 2 years old device is old lol
@leewalker23 fr it's still guaranteed software updates until 2027 and then it will get security patches for the next 7 years after
@@jvgamer6066 indeed, thats what flagships are for. If midrange phones got obsolete after 3 years, I’d understand but crazy asking 2 years old flagships worth it or not in 2024 lol
It has been a great experience for me, but I've mistreated the battery, so it's only lasting me 4 hours now. I'm not sure if I should replace the battery and wait another year or see if the S25 Ultra will be as big an upgrade as rumored 😅
Hi..did u get any green line issue with ur s22u after u update it with the latest UI veriosn please reply...thanks
Nope. If I did I would have mentioned it
Watching on my s22 ultra
Nice!!
How's the battery screen on time
Yes me too 👍
I ❤ it
I think it's not the phone, it's the mindset when it comes to phone.
Watching with my note 9
I having using it since 2019
The S22 Ultra is still a beast of a phone! The 6.1.1 update has definitely breath new life into the device!
The weird thing Is I still don't have the one ui 6.1.1 update I have one ui 6.1
@7cxz8 It's actually described as 6.1 under current software sub heading, but it's actually ONE UI 6.1.1, it will display the actual full number only on the flagship tablets and foldables eligible to receive the update.
Still have my s22U too lol. Sad that the s24FE beats it already but I rather go on vacations longer instead of upgrading yearly. LOL
I've been using it since the day it came out in 2022 and my girl has the s24 ultra and she would trade me right now she likes mine better I won't trade though because honestly in some ways this is better than the s24 ultra I think it looks more futuristic with the curve display I don't know you can zoom further and better there's just things this is one of the truly legendary flagships you can keep this phone till 2027 and it would still rock
Wich screen protection gals is batter
I bought the S24 ultra in mid-November. So it is actually brand new. But now already the S25 ultra is coming at the beginning of February. What do you guys think? Should I trade in my new S24 Ultra for an S25 Ultra?
I traded my 512gb unlocked S22 Ultra for the S24 Ultra 512gb unlocked at launched. Definitely happy I made the upgrade.
I have an iPhone8 and thinking of buying s22 ultra should I ? Or should I take s23base ? I want a phone with a great camera and a good zoom ( can't afford s23 ultra but i need to change now)
I'm still using mine. I'm not impressed with the S25 Ultra, so I'm going to hold out until next year.
Not really worth it when the S23 Ultra exists
Exactly. The s22 ultra isnt very efficient they fixed that issue with the s23 ultra
Wrong!! For the right price & the right person, it sure is a good buy, bro.
@katinasoutherland7693 Sure if you want a heater for your hands then it's a fantastic buy 😂 your better of paying alittle more and just get a s23 ultra they fixed the issues from the s22 ultra with the s23 ultra and the software is supported longer on the s23 as well
@@katinasoutherland7693 You couldn't be more wrong. The extra price gets you a phone that is longer supported, runs cooler, faster and longer.
yeah i went with the s23U too
It looks faster than my iphone15 pro max lol
I've had this phone since launch & i love it ❤ ima get a new battery for her. Can anyone tell me who Samsung recommends in the States? Thanks, bro.
Got my s22 ultra since release. Unfortunately the Exynos version. Not gonna lie, it does sometimes stutter. Poor battery life. Im not really all too happy with it. Might run it 1 more year until the Pixel 10 drops.
Al long as it's updated I've haven't had a problem probably going to get a zfold 6
I used it from the release till today. Just replaced it with a OnePlus 12 today
Nice upgrade!
In Nov 2024 I still have the note 8, looking to replace it with the s22 ultra.
It's fine but the worst thing is the heat this thing just heats all time 😢
Just bought a refurbished s22 ultra to replace my a54 so I can give that one to my girlfriend. I know the performance difference between the two isn't very big but I really like the extra features from the s pen especially since I'm a graphic designer.
I had to take my phone to a buddy of mine. I was using my phone when randomly my phone went to a black screen. So I’m getting it repaired
Im buying it tomorrow
I had the s24 ultra and I can say firsthand I used it for 2 weeks and I hated it and I returned it!
watch this on s22 ultra 512gig got it 3 months after launch runs like new still
