Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Review: Powerful phone with a high price tag
Published Apr 28, 2023 - The Galaxy S22 Ultra is a souped up smartphone with some impressive features, but is it worth the high price tag now that it's more than a year old?

Ordered an Excellent condition Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra from refurbisher GM Deals. The phone looks absolutely brand new and works great! (Had previously ordered the same phone supposedly new and sealed from eBay and instead got a fake one with a cheap inferior undersized display screen). Can't guarantee everyone else this same great outcome, but I am 100% satisfied with this Back Market refurbisher and am so happy with my new phone. Thank you GM Deals for being a such a solid Back Market reseller!

I was leary of purchasing a used / refurbished phone. I needed an unlocked phone to try out a few different carriers coverage in areas that I visit regularly. I was pleasantly surprised to receive what I believe is a brand new phone. Not a scratch or blemish to be found. Holds a charge for days. Looks, feels and functions like brand new.

S22 ultra was wifi nerfed. Where my Galaxy S9 and friends s21 /24 / note 20 every other Device would have perfect Wi-Fi reception the S22 Ultra would have little to no reception at all if you take one step away from the router you would experience extreme lag or get disconnected from the internet completely. This was not backmarkets fault backmarket was absolutely great thank you I will do business again Also I am not sure if the S22 Ultra I ordered that was Verizon locked refurbished could have had a issue with the Wi-Fi chip inside of it or if all as 22 ultra's are garbage for Wi-Fi connectivity. Anywho I decided to Not take my chances and get a different Galaxy completely. Overly satisfied

Great product. Good price but most of all i love that the phones are refurbished instead of ending up in a landfill. Would give a 5 star but they ship signature required and that is a major pain in my butt because I work 6 days a week and long hours, I am never home when the fedex guy shows up. I'm not worried about stolen packages as I live in a small community and there are cameras all over but there are no options to opt out of signature required.

What else could be expected? Back Market Refurbish seller hits it out of the park AGAIN. Galaxy S22 Ultra was in pristine condition. Not a scratch. And this after i tried to get faster delivery from Amazon "renewed" and struck out when they sent me an imitation gs22 phone and forced me to send it back for a refund. Folks just buy from Back Market and save yourself the possibility the headache!

There are a lot of pros, and one con to this order. Pros: -order arrived before delivery date -phone was in great condition, as per description -Hasn't shown any signs of slowing down -Came with a cable and a power adapter Con: When the package arrived, the phone seemed to have a tiny chip on the corner. Perhaps since the phone is refurbished, and not new, you can't have everything. Barely noticeable, but that may bother some people.

The phone sent by Maroon Mobile was in excellent physical condition, but will not connect to a network. I tried dozens of troubleshooting methods, including sending the phone back to be repaired. Unfortunately, I don't think Maroon Mobile actually did anything to fix the issue, and when I asked for details about what they fixed, I was brushed off. Back Market has mostly been wonderful trying to deal with this issue, but given that it's been on and off for months, I've reached my warranty, and now they can't do anything, despite the seller obviously not repairing my phone. I consulted a local repair shop, and apparently the issue is the internal antenna, which is a manufacturing error. This is something that should have been caught in the supposedly rigorous refurbishing process, or at least when I sent it back with issues. Very frustrated, as now my only option is to spend $200+ to get it fixed, since I apparently bought a lemon and Maroon Mobile didn't bother to actually fix it.

This is my second refurbished phone and I've baught a couple watches from BackMarket. my only complaint is that both my phone screens cracked super easily... I'm talking like, my phone fell out of my hand probably 8 inches in the sink and the screen cracked and the other one I was sitting on a rolling chair just a little higher that a kids chair (not high at all) and it fell off my lap and the corner of the screen cracked, both phones had screen protectors and cases on. I really wish you guys used stronger glass because my new phones never cracked even ones that were waaayyyy cheaper than my S22 Ultra...
