    It is quite shocking how much value Android phones lose over their lifespans.

    S22 Ultra 128GB was launched in early 2020, RRP £1,149
    iPhone 12 128GB was launched in late 2020, RRP £729 (edited)

    Not exactly a fair comparison is it, pitting the top-end Samsung against the bottom-end iPhone.

    The correct comparison for the S22 Ultra 128GB would be the iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB, which came with an RRP of £1099!

    If you look at the refurb prices for both from an established retailer, the 128GB 'very good' version is £279 vs £359 - not exactly a night and day difference when compared to their RRP's!!

    Anyone familiar with 4gadgets how reliable are they especially in their definition if condition

    I dropped my S21U and their "fair" price was less than a new screen for my old one. It had some small marks on the anodised camera bump but once the case and screen protector were fitted it looked like new. I'd happily use them again. Worth looking on Backmarket as 4gadgets prices are sometimes cheaper on there than going direct.

    Is the s22 ultra worth upgrading a 512gb Note 9? I need a new back glass on the Note 9 and battery will need doing soon so might be better off spending the money on an s22 ultra instead?

    The note 9 has been superb hence yet to upgrade it (it's my backup/2nd phone not daily driver) or is it worth waiting and going for the s23 ultra which i've heard is a big step up from the s22 ultra?
    eshanmistry73's avatar
    Yes significant upgrade, if its within budget maybe consider the S23U too - i found the S22U and S23U very similar but the battery life was noticeably better on my S23U so that may be something to consider a really good overall phone!
  4. FIREDEALS's avatar
    Is it worth going from S21 Ultra to S23 Ultra? Will I notice a considerable change?
    quake.ee's avatar
    S23U has built in s-pen, better screen, better processor, longer updates. But it's a bit bigger and heavier.
  5. Boston85's avatar
    You can't pay with a credit card or PayPal so I'll have to give it a miss.
    Eazie's avatar
    You can pay by PayPal, I did earlier. Used the pay in 3 feature

    So that's another £13 off from s23u

    You took the words right out of my mouth 👏👏
  7. UKScottDeals's avatar
    Basically, S Ultra phones halve in price each year. £1000 yr0, £500 yr1, £250 yr 2. That's why I currently own an S21U (which was 2-years old when I got it). (edited)
    ipmanwck's avatar
    Same here. S21 ultra 512gb..tried loads of phones but won't upgrade till s23u comes down a bit more
  8. TesaoGostoso's avatar
    Shame the 23 Plus is a lot more expensive..... hard to understand. Anyhow, hot hot for this model

  9. shell820810's avatar
    Is the quality likely to better than described on this or the giff gaff deal?
    krishbish's avatar
    Imo Giffgaff, you get a good condition with 512gb for £529 which is cheaper than here... Both suppliers seems reputable though.
  10. b00gyman1's avatar
    Voted hot as its a really good price. However their description of the battery life for samsung phones and even the description for excellent phones condition its not very reassuring.

    How can a phone in excelent condition still have scratches on the screen? I understand if they're on the body of the phone but not on the screen when classified as "excellent".

    This is what it says under the FAQ on excellent condition: "Cosmetically the gadget may show signs of slight use, including minor scratches to the screen and casing"

    And this is the description of the battery conditions: "Our Samsung devices are performance tested and must pass a battery functionality test in regards to battery health, whilst our Apple devices must have a minimum battery health of 80%"

    So from this description what I understand is that for samsung phone batteries they just have to pass a basic test with no guaranteed percentage. Like I said not very reassuring.
    LordFlashHeart's avatar
    They 'most likely' mean hairline scratches which can't be felt when you run a nail across it. My S22 ultra is in excellent condition but has a few hairline scratches due to keys in my pocket (in my opinion the glass is just as durable and rubbish as it was in my S7 from 2016)

    Oh and I can't imagine a phone from last year having a battery health lower than 95% unless it's been hammered every day/night for navigation.

    I got a fair used s23 ultra few days ago. Checked with FRP tool 224 charge cycles, screen seems to be fine no scratches, sides and body is good too except for one tiny dent would it be considered decent? I can return get a full refund and buy again same myself £15 but then again I might end up with something worse
    tanvir90's avatar
    Download samfrp tool 3.31 version, new version doesn't have this option. Turn on the USB debugging on the developer option connect your phone to the computer once connected do adb test on the FRP tool it shows bunch of data including charging cycles

    I love my S22 ultra but the battery life is really bad.
    Kuzuri's avatar
    After one ui 6.1 update, my battery life went down on s23 ultra...
  14. Nathan_James's avatar
    Handtec or 4gadget who's best
    quake.ee's avatar
    4gadgets is part of MTR group which deals directly with most trade-in devices we all send to Samsung (and I think Google), Handtec is an independent reseller.
  15. Sinan_Goekceoglu's avatar
    I got my s23 ultra fair condition. It has deep scratches on screen and cracked spen. It's going back
    Butters's avatar
    I got a 256gb fair in red that just arrived. Mine seems decent to be fair, bit of flaking of paint top and bottom thay a case will cover. There is a 2mm scratch on the screen that can be felt but not really noticeable in use so far
  16. realdeals's avatar
    The S22 Ultra at £269 is on fire 🔥
    And a chance grab some AI goodness.
    Calumt's avatar
    That's based on fair which says it may have screen scratches
  17. Eden_Garside's avatar
    Dang, bought a S23 Ultra 256gb last week for £610.

    Amazing phone though, took great holiday pics. No regrets (until the credit card bill comes)
  18. Joshfount's avatar
    Those S23 Ultra phones are a bargain and you can always return if not happy with condition 🔥
  19. Chi_Nights's avatar
    Went for a excellent ultra 256gb. Received it today and it's pretty much as good as new and no scratches. Was also a 512gb. (edited)

    £500 for a second hand phone.
    hcc27's avatar
    Rather like saying a second -hand Ferrari is 70K.
  21. jungleboy123's avatar
    great phone this, see no reason for the s24 at double price.
    ayeworld's avatar
    Possibly buying the S24 series guarantees your phone getting 7 years of Android updates, might sway many buyers. (edited)
  22. Hotspur's avatar
    The longer you delay buying a refurbished phone does it lose its battery life? I'm waiting for the S23 ultra like new or pristine to come down in price
    LordFlashHeart's avatar
    Only if it has been stored with a flat battery but it is very unlikely (& even then it's negligible how much you would lose over a short period of time). Personally I would jump at a S23 Ultra with 512gb for £519 as it's a bargain and you can always return it if you are not happy.
  23. solid's avatar
    This is hot
  24. MacMur85's avatar
    That's a crazy good deal.
    The only thing that could push me towards the S23U is the screen coating.
    Other than that, the S23U remains the GOAT.
    LordFlashHeart's avatar
    I think you will find that goes to the S21 Ultra, as it was such a massive improvement over the S20 Ultra and the S23 Ultra is just a incremental update to the Snapdragon S22 Ultra.

    The S23 Ultra for £519 is a steal.
  25. grahame1's avatar
    Just bought a Grey 512gb Prestine S23 Ultra for £614 delivered tomorrow. Thanks poster, perfect timing I just dropped my S10+
  26. KamalinO's avatar
    price for the S23 Ultra with 512gb has dropped to £509.99 before coupon, so worth updating the deal description.
    This makes it even a better deal than the giffgaff one, but from what I notice grading seems to be better with giffgaff. What's your opinion on this?
  27. ipmanwck's avatar
    S24 ultra went back to exynos didn't it

    100%
    Especially now the prices are getting lower
  30. Sunny_89's avatar
    Literally bought this 3 days ago. Think they'll refund the difference considering I could just return the phone and get a full refund?
    LEONARDE11's avatar
    Return full refund and buy again.
  31. Amine_Amine's avatar
    Anyone knows if these are refurbished?
    Thank you
    Rimi's avatar
    LOL Refurbished...well yeah, done some cleaning, if any and that is a refurbishment. S23U might be not bad, but as for S22U look out for battery health as might be at it's end of life.

    Looking at S23U 512gb - fair.

    Anyone purchased one?

    What is the returns policy like? Have brought from music magpie before and returned 1 of the phones without fuss
    Butters's avatar
    I'll let you know, I ordered a 256gb one in fair for delivery tommorow. Reading the returns seems fairly straightforward, free label to print off send it back as received etc
