Samsung Galaxy s22 - Bora Purple (Unlocked)

I've had this phone since 2021 and it still serves me as well. Doesn't run slow. It's so perfect.

Compared to my Pixel, Samsung S21 5G exceeded in terms of speed, performance and battery. I'm able to go nearly 2 full days without recharging. Apps open up pretty quick. Outlook used to be extremely slow in pixel but loads and performs well in Samsung. Photo quality is great but pixel was much better in auto-focus particularly in situations where we have significant light gradient such as shade and sunlight. One aspect I didn't like is lots of unnecessary Samsung apps. Also I wish the phone was slightly wider.

I really like this phone. I upgraded from an S8+. The camera quality is outstanding. The phone is a beautiful lavender color. I heard the battery life was bad but I have had no problems it lasts all day through numerous phone calls, texts, zooms and tik toks lol. The only downside I have found so far is the finger print and face scanner I does not recognize me about half of the time which is a little annoying.

I am thoroughly enjoying my first month of using this phone, which is why I did not rate the battery life. I'm a pretty heavy user, although not for games. -The Bluetooth pairs great with my Echo Buds for workouts at the gym. -Photos are a breeze, nice and crisp. -Phone audio volume is good, much better than my previous phone (LG Q7+, 3 yrs. old) -Size is a little bigger than I might like for my hands, but not when I am trying to read pdfs or watch videos. -Overall, recommend highly (except for customers who are always disappointed with the world) I'm very happy with it.

Update 2: I love this phone!! Huge upgrade from my Galaxy A6. The setup process was a nightmare but it finally works. You most likely have to go to your carrier and pay an activation fee to use it like I did because simply putting my Sim card in did not work. I am giving 5 stars for the phone but I would give 0 stars for how this whole process went Update: Amazon sent a replacement phone the next day and it works! The graphics are great! Games run a lot smoother and it charges super fast. Keep in mind that this is my first S series phone so I am amazed to be able to run more than 2 apps without my phone crashing. New problem: My SIM card doesn't work. I am taking it to MetroPCS to see if I can get help. This whole process has been difficult. I was really hoping to just pop the SIM in and start using right away. Disappointing. I was super excited to get this phone because I have never had an S series Galaxy phone before. When I opened the box it would not turn on. It didn't come with a charger and I did not own one so I had to wait for one to arrive in the mail because no store had them in stock near me. Finally plugged it in and nothing happens. Even the phone store I took it to couldn't figure it out. Amazon is sending me a replacement and I'll update my review once I actually get to use the phone. I am very shocked and disappointed in Samsung. I seem to be the only one with the problem of recieving a dead phone. Hopefully the replacement will work. Update 3: This model sucks. The screen stopped working less than 2 years after buying it. Not sure if I'm going to buy a Samsung again. All that money for nothing special
