For Gen Z, video isn’t just video. They think of it as a
lifestyle – a universal language for how they learn, grow,
express, talk, shop, connect, create, and fight boredom with
their friends in real time. That’s why they’re demanding a mobile
device that finally breaks all the rules of video and makes their
everyday more epic than ever. Introducing SAMSUNG Galaxy S22
Ultra, the brilliant new smartphones designed specifically to
break the rules of video to meet the needs of Gen Z’s native
language; video. With this new video machine, we’re setting an
epic new standard. Now, you can communicate with your friends
online while you simultaneously co-watch the new YouTube
videos.**** Record your greatest nights with breathtaking
low-light video like never before. Capture the true colors and
contrasts of late-night parties that couldn’t be properly
depicted before. And you can finally devour vids in direct
sunlight with a screen that’s so bright, you’ll never have to
worry about glare on the beach again. Galaxy S22 Ultra is
redefining the epic standard – both for what a smartphone can do
with video and for what you can communicate, create, and
experience with it. In other words, if you’ve got something to
say, Galaxy S22 Ultra makes it possible to say anything you want
with video, at any time-even in the darkness of night. *Supports
Full HD video with up to 60 fps. **Based on average battery life
under typical usage conditions. Average expected performance
based on typical use. Actual battery life depends on factors such
as network, features selected, frequency of calls, and voice,
data, and other application usage patterns.
Review: Works great (so far), great price, worth the buy! - 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 desertcart, 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!
Review: Coverage Network Issue - This product seemed perfect at
first. I have always bought my phones refurbished and unlocked
from desertcart and have never had any issues. The model of the
phone itself is awesome and the camera is perfect. Which is a
huge reason I went with this model. I was constantly getting
compliments on the quality of my photos. I have zero complaints
about the phone make/model. It also came to me looking brand new
and in excellent condition. The phone seemed to work flawlessly
for the first month and half that I had it. I had no issues at
all and then one day it just stopped connecting to my network
carrier. It worked completely fine until I would leave anywhere
that I had wifi and then I would not be able to use my phone as a
phone. I wasn't able to send or receive calls or do anything that
required internet unless I was connected to wifi. Including
google maps when I was trying to navigate somewhere. I tried
troubleshooting a bunch of different ways including removing my
SIM card and putting it back in, and I spent over an hour on the
phone with AT&T who told me to clear my cache in my internet
browser which seemed to work for about an hour then it would tell
me "No network coverage available" anytime I tried to do
anything. It wasn't my carriers issue because everyone else on my
plan had zero coverage issues. I went back and read more of the
negative reviews on here and realized I wasn't alone with this
issue. Like I said, I'd never had any problems like this before
with buying refurbished phones on desertcart. I don't know if
this seller is bad, or the device itself just had some computing
issues. When I requested an exchange for my phone I was told that
they didn't have any more available and that I would have to
receive a refund only available on the card that I used to
purchase it. I ended up just going to AT&T and buying the new
Galaxy S24 Ultra and I LOVE it. Unfortunately this experience has
probably ruined my buying refurbished phones for me, and I will
probably just end up spending the extra money for a new one from
now on.
