Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra: $300 off ahead of Black Friday

Web Desk — The Black Friday sale is on in United States and the good news is that all of the latest Galaxy phones are on sale, with the biggest discount going to the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Samsung’s most premium (non-folding) Galaxy phone is down to $900 at $300 off the list price. Anyone who missed that window, can once again grab the favorite Android phone at this low price.

As some surveys suggest, the S22 Ultra is “the best premium Android flagship one can buy.” It’s got a lot in common with Samsung’s discontinued-for-now Note series, especially with its inclusion of the on-board S Pen and the return to a more rectangular shape, but the S22 Ultra is not just a Galaxy Note rehash.

S22 Ultra has a “sumptuous” screen that keeps things looking smooth with a 120Hz refresh rate and bright 6.8-inch Super AMOLED panel.

The cameras have been upgraded with a 108-megapixel main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a pair of 10MP telephoto lenses in back. There’s a 40MP camera in front, along with new customized video calling software for using Google’s Duo (now called Google Meet).

With Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processors, the S22 Ultra handled fairly intensive multitasking in various tests without getting bogged down or even heating up significantly.

On the other hand, the battery didn’t last as long as we were hoping, it gave 17 hours and 16 minutes in our video rundown test.

If you don’t need the S Pen, or quite so many cameras, you might try the Galaxy S22+. It’s also on sale for Black Friday, with $250 off the MSRP bringing it down to $800.

The S22 gives you more “phone for the money than anything you can buy from Apple or Google.” Now that it’s down to $700, that statement is truer than ever.
