Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is an amazing smartphone but still I needed to sell it - here are my top reasons why
Hey guys, welcome to Test and
Review! Today, I have some bittersweet news: I decided to sell my Samsung
Galaxy S22 Ultra. It's a fantastic smartphone, but a few issues led me to
switch. Let me share why.
Build
Quality and Display
The S22 Ultra is a beautifully
crafted phone with premium materials and an amazing display. In my opinion, it
has one of the best screens out there, even better than the newer S23 and S24
models. The color reproduction is superior, and the overall feel of the phone
is top-notch.
Battery
Performance
Despite its many strengths, the S22
Ultra's battery life was a major letdown for me. As an active user, I found
myself constantly needing to charge the phone. The battery management isn't
great, mainly due to its processor. While newer models like the S23 and S24
have improved battery performance, the S22 Ultra just couldn't keep up with my
daily demands.
Connectivity
Issues
I also faced issues with Android
Auto. When connected via cable, the S22 Ultra would frequently disconnect,
making it almost unusable for this purpose. This was a significant
inconvenience, especially considering that cheaper Samsung models handled
Android Auto without any problems.
Camera
Performance
The camera on the S22 Ultra is
excellent, but I was a bit disappointed when comparing it to the S24+. I
expected more from the newer model, but in some cases, the S22 Ultra still
holds its ground. However, the newer cameras have better low-light performance
and other enhancements.
Switching
to the S24+
Despite my affection for the S22
Ultra, I switched to the S24+ for its improved battery life and better overall
performance. However, the S24+ has its own drawbacks, such as less vibrant
color reproduction on its display. Samsung's update to address this hasn't
fully resolved the issue.
Washed out colors on the Samsung S24 Series
Many users, including myself, have noticed that the Samsung Galaxy S24 series suffers from washed out colors, making the display appear less vibrant compared to earlier models like the S22 Ultra. Despite a Vivid color update from Samsung, the issue persists, affecting the quality of media and daily tasks.
Enabling features like Eye Comfort Shield can revert the display to its washed out state, further complicating the user experience. This drawback is significant for those who prioritize rich, vibrant color reproduction in their smartphones.
Conclusion
Selling my S22 Ultra was a tough
decision. It's a remarkable device with an outstanding display and premium
build quality. However, the battery life and connectivity issues were
significant enough for me to make the switch to the S24+. If you're looking for
a high-end secondhand phone, the S22 Ultra is still a solid choice, provided
you can manage its battery limitations.
