About the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G
The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G was Samsung's flagship powerhouse when it launched in February 2022, and it remains a capable device for buyers willing to trade the very latest specs for significant savings. The phone represented a pivotal moment for Samsung, merging the Galaxy Note line into the S series by incorporating a built-in S Pen for the first time. The 6.8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers vibrant colours and deep blacks with an adaptive 1-120Hz refresh rate, and the quad camera system led by a 108MP main sensor with 10x optical zoom still produces excellent results. Under the hood, UK models run the Exynos 2200 processor with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage, while the 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging comfortably lasts a full day. The phone is built like a tank with Gorilla Glass Victus+ front and back, an Armor Aluminium frame, and IP68 water and dust resistance. Samsung has committed to four major OS updates and five years of security patches, meaning it will receive updates through to at least 2027. At heavily discounted prices compared to launch, the S22 Ultra offers a tremendous amount of phone for the money.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G still worth buying?
The Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G is still a solid phone, particularly at its current discounted prices. The 108MP camera with 10x optical zoom, built-in S Pen, and 5,000mAh battery remain competitive. The main trade-offs are the older Exynos 2200 chipset, which is noticeably slower than current flagships, and dwindling software support that ends around 2027.
How good is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G camera?
The quad camera system remains impressive, with a 108MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto, and 10MP 10x periscope telephoto. The 10x optical zoom is excellent for distant subjects and the Space Zoom feature extends to 100x digitally. Low-light performance is strong thanks to the large sensor and advanced night mode processing.
Does the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G have an S Pen?
Yes, the Galaxy S22 Ultra was the first S-series phone to include a built-in S Pen, inheriting this feature from the discontinued Galaxy Note line. It supports handwriting-to-text conversion, drawing, annotation, Air Commands, and remote camera control with ultra-low 2.8ms latency.
How long does the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G battery last?
The 5,000mAh battery typically lasts a full day with moderate to heavy use. It supports 45W wired fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse wireless charging. A full charge from empty takes approximately one hour with a compatible 45W charger.
How long will the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G receive updates?
Samsung committed to four major Android OS updates and five years of security patches for the S22 Ultra. It launched with Android 12 and will receive updates through Android 16, with security patches continuing into 2027. While support is winding down, it still has some life left.
How does the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G compare to the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra?
The S23 Ultra upgrades the main camera from 108MP to a 200MP sensor, switches from the Exynos 2200 to the faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 across all regions, and extends software support to four OS updates and five years of security patches from its later launch date. Battery life is also improved thanks to the more efficient chipset, though the 5,000mAh capacity and 45W charging remain the same. Compare Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
