    Which is the best Samsung phone to buy in 2022?
    olinda
    over 1 year ago
    Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is the Android flagship to beat right now. With crazy fast performance, a positively fantastic 1440p, 120Hz display, and a Note-style built-in S Pen stylus, it's got every bell and whistle you could ask for in a phone that doesn't fold in half.
