I purchased the S22 Ultra shortly after it became available.
For the first week or so, the bulk of my disappointment with the phone was pretty much limited to the low performance camera and battery.
Less than a month in though, things started getting worse:
• Overheated
• Camera occasionally just wouldn't work at all
• Difficult time connecting and maintaining a connection to WiFi
• When WiFi was unstable or unavailable, my partners A32 and my young daughters $50 Motorola functioned properly, while my $1.2k phone was oftentimes absolutely unusable
• Apps stopped working. I had to constantly uninstall and reinstall android system web view (which isn't As simple as it sounds) just to use any non Samsung app
• Lots of texts weren't coming through until several days after they were sent
• More and more frequently, my phone was unable to call or text when I wasn't logged into my home WiFi
With that in mind, my experience is that the phone is crap, but it's not because of any update.
All of this, paired with the fact that Samsung hasn't even acknowledged the problem, motivated my decision to purchase my first iPhone. Which, I can't say I enjoy just yet, but at least it actually works.
