Is the S22 Ultra still worth buying?

Yes if you want a big screen, strong zoom cameras and a built-in S Pen. Newer flagships beat it on battery life and sustained performance, but few match its 10x optical zoom.

How does it compare with the S23 Ultra?

The S23 Ultra has a faster, cooler-running chip, better battery life and a sharper 200MP main camera. The S22 Ultra keeps the same 10x zoom and S Pen and is the better value of the two.

Does it work with US carriers?

This is the unlocked S908U model, which Samsung lists as compatible with AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and other major networks. Check that your carrier supports the bands you need before buying.

Does it have a headphone jack or expandable storage?

No. The S22 Ultra has no 3.5mm headphone jack and no microSD slot, so storage is fixed at what you buy.

What comes in the box?

The phone and a USB-C cable. Samsung does not include a charger or earphones, so you need your own USB-C power adapter.

Is the S Pen included?

Yes. The S Pen is built into the phone and stores in a slot at the bottom, so there is nothing extra to buy or charge.
