18 months later, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra remains a great smartphone and an even better deal as you can grab it cheap this Black Friday.

    Is it just me or does it seem a bit out-of-touch to brag that last year’s $1100 phone is still usable? You would sure hope it wasn’t made obsolete that quickly

      I’d imagine this article is more of statement against the S23 Ultra, than a humble brag. At this point, even if you are able to afford it, why upgrade yearly?

      Phones aren’t getting drastic upgrades with each physical release - most exciting upgrades are typically software based.

      I read it as “this phone does enough stuff right”. I didn’t take it as talking about obsolescence or a humble brag.

      As a Pixel owner, his note about long battery life makes me envious.
