Samsung’s latest Galaxy S22 phones are some of the best Android phones you can get right now, and Amazon has discounted the entire range. Each of the three S22 models is cheaper than usual, with the best savings on the Galaxy S22 Ultra and S22+ — both are $200 off, bringing them down to $1,000 and $800, respectively. The standard Galaxy S22 is $100 off, before falling back to an all-time low of $700. If you decide to take the plunge, you can get $60 off the Galaxy Buds 2 if you buy the earbuds and one of the S22 smartphones. Just click on the “Extra Savings” banner on your phone’s product page to see how to add both items to your cart.

The Galaxy S22 Ultra is Samsung’s best product yet, combining many of the features of the company’s Note line with its flagship S line. It features a 6.8-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1,750 nits. It also has a new “Vision Booster” feature that automatically adjusts display brightness and contrast based on the brightness or darkness of the environment. The phone runs on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, and the model is sold with 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
Because the phone is so large, it has room for a built-in S Pen, allowing you to take notes and doodle on the phone’s screen. This is the main feature of the Note series, and power users will love it. Samsung also increased the latency to 2.8ms, so writing with the S Pen will feel more natural than before.
As far as cameras go, you get a 108-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and two 10-megapixel telephoto lenses, along with a host of improvements such as auto-framing, better video stabilization, More accurate portrait blur and Samsung’s new Adaptive Pixel feature. That said you get a very powerful camera setup that rivals those found on the latest iPhones and Google smartphones.
At the end of the day, if you want all the latest features Samsung has to offer in a smartphone, the S22 Ultra is the phone you can go with. However, if you can use a slightly smaller device and don’t have extras like a built-in S Pen, either the S22 or S22+ will serve you well. We gave both smartphones 87 points for their beautiful displays, powerful performance, and sleek designs. The S22+ has the added benefits of UWB and WiFi 6E connectivity, slightly faster WiFi speeds and longer battery life. Considering this sale makes the S22+ just $100 more than the S22, it’s a great opportunity to get a slightly more powerful device without paying too much of a premium.
