I got the Samsung Galaxy s22 5G in excellent condition and as far as I can tell this baby is new. I love the way it works and how everything seemlessly works together well. This is my third device from backmarket.

Beautiful phone no scratches, no signs of Normal wear. I love this site, we live in such a throw away society, reusing someone's wonderful phone for a few more years, makes me feel a little bit better. I’ve ordered many things from here, and I’ve never had an issue. Thanks backmarket crew!

The phone is AMAZING!! THE CONDITION IS PERFECT, I love the color, it arrived on time which is great because i paid extra for that. This is my 5th order from backmarket and I'm continually very pleased. I've had the s22 before and I love the phone! Love the camera. Love how easily I can restore data even from a phone that has a non functional screen!! Super happy!

It came in great condition. Transfer from one phone to the next was simple. Needed a little support from my carrier, but that was also easy.

So far so good. Though I still prefer some aspects of my S9, I feel like I'm being forced to upgrade as apps aren't working and the S9 is slowing down. Unfortunately, this doesn't have a headphone jack (not surprising and pretty typical these days) and no dedicated fingerprint scanner. The on-screen scanner doesn't seem to be as reliable as the old dedicated one. Overall it's a decent phone, I just wish companies would learn from the old adage "it's not broken, don't fix it". The actual quality of the refurbished phone itself is great and delivery was as expected.

Everything went well! I came back to Samsung after not being able to get another version of my old phone. Everything works the way I expected it. There are a few features I'm still figuring out though. I am happy with my purchase.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 5G is a well-rounded flagship smartphone released in early 2022, offering a compact design and solid performance.

Who is this for?

The Galaxy S22 5G suits professionals and everyday users who want a compact flagship phone with strong multimedia capabilities. It is ideal for those who prefer a smaller device compared to the larger S22+ or S22 Ultra models but still want a vibrant display and versatile camera setup. Users seeking the latest Galaxy features might consider newer models, as the S22 lacks some advanced zoom capabilities found in the Ultra variant.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Compact and ergonomic design for comfortable one-handed use. No telephoto lens limits advanced zoom photography. High-quality Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with vibrant colors. Battery life varies depending on usage and settings. Strong overall performance with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 / Exynos 2200. No expandable storage option.
