TheSamsungGalaxy S22 Ultra is the best phone I’ve ever tested. It’s not the one I’d recommend to everyone, given that it’s ludicrously expensive, but if money wasn’t an issue, this stylus-toting camera powerhouse would be the only phone anyone should buy.
You can read ourSamsung Galaxy S22 Ultrareview to understand why it belongs on our list of thebest phonesever, but in that write-up you’ll see us point out the mobile’s high price. However, thanks toPrime Day deals, that’s not so much of a concern anymore.
Despite being so new, the Galaxy S22 Ultra has received a pretty sizeable discount. With 30% off, you can pick up the phone for ‘only’ a three-figure sum, making this the lowest price we’ve seen the handset go for.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a camera powerhouse, with its 10x zoom camera being a personal favorite of mine. I loved it for taking pictures of birds, insects and flowers, with the long range meaning I wouldn’t scare wildlife off, and the focal length granting some lovely-looking background blur.
The phone also wins points for its processing power, its great-looking screen and the built-in stylus. It’s great for gaming and watching movies, as well as being creative with your photography.
That’s why we call the deal ‘amazing’ - 30% off an expensive phone equals a huge saving. However we call it ‘shocking’ because big discounts like this have little precedent.
Usually, new flagships like this don’t see any serious discounts in their first year of life, with the unveiling of a successor being the incentive needed for them to get a price cut. Thus, we’d expect to see theGalaxy S21 Ultradiscounted now, not the newer model.
Oh well, we’re not complaining. Just be warned - this deal will likely sell out fast.
