Also worth noting is that the S20 Ultra has a massive 5k mAh battery which is the same as the S22 & S23 Ultra. The S20 Ultra has a 6.9" screen which is the largest ever on a Samsung device alongside the Note 20 Ultra. The S20+ has a 6.7" screen which is a smidge larger than the current S23/S22+.
These are the final Galaxy S models to support microSD expansion and the first to support 45W Wired charging. Also the final Galaxy S models to support Samsung Pay MST (the Note 20 Ultra being the final one to support those features). Finally, although the hardware supports it, there were some behind the scenes shenanigans and these devices never received 5G midband support on any carrier. Apple's iPhone 12 has the same 5G qualcomm chipset and got updated to support those frequencies in addition to mmwave and low-band. So you won't see "UWB" very much on these devices, if ever. I had a Note 20 for 18 months so I know. When I upgraded from a Note 20 Ultra to the S22 Ultra I got mid-band support and a significantly improved 5G experience.
I would have no issues buying one of these for a 1 year "rental" or as a wi-fi based device to fiddle with or as a kids' phone. Compared to, say, a comparably priced Moto G budget handset, these will run circles around it in camera & SoC performance and especially screen quality. You'll also get wireless charging and significantly faster wired charging IF you use a proper PPS PD charger.

Whatever that means..
Is the camera good? it actually is good and takes great shots. BUT, there are known issues out there with the focusing system (google "s20 ultra camera focusing issue"). My phone definitely had it and I tried fixing with multiple resets.
I would be "close" to the subject (3 feet, my dog). I'd want to take a picture of him holding a treat, he's taking up 75% of the frame, yet the camera is focusing on the floor/furniture behind him. Even clicking the screen it might focus, but once you take a pic it focuses on the background. It was insanely frustrating. When you could get a good shot (i swear like 50% of the time or less), it was good, but I "lost" a lot of cute pics of the pup
I went to [a large, well established used electronics site] and purchased the Google 6 Pro for $320 and LOVE it. I was bummed because I wanted an elite phone with MicroSD, but the camera on the S20 Ultra was the deal breaker. For reference, over the last 10 years I've owned the original Galaxy, Galaxy 2, most of the phones on the LG line up through the G6 or G7, then the S20 Ultra and now Google 6 Pro.

1) $8/month for 3 years is $288. Assuming they don't raise prices. Given i tend to keep my phone for a long time, that can add cost to the phone and I give up the ability access my videos instantly
2) 5G is not everywhere and I tend to hit the less populated areas when exploring and recording these videos. So the persistent argument of going to the cloud does not work.
3) I just don't trust the cloud to keep my data safe enough.
So there is some use case outside the specialty use cases. What would get me to move over to cloud is high speed 5G available and reliable everywhere including remote mountainous area and farmland. Cloud storage is basically free and uploads and downloads are automatically encrypted by me not the cloud storage company.

would there be any condition issues with these phones from woot if i plan on using as a trade in for flip 5 in a few months.?
The S21 also suffers from focusing issues. I've had so many random blurs on shots of items which should easily have been in focus. Well lit and still. Even some type of font text on equipment will show up blury no matter how many different ways I take the photo; angle, lighting, distance. Sent Samsung numerous tech support requests with documentation. I went on forums to see similar issues relating to my experience. Lots of photos taken daily. Seems like 1 out of 7 end up blurred, but often just random. No fixes.
5G Ultra Wideband (T Mobiles "UC") does show up on the S21 but it can be so random too. Same towers. Same distances. Same obstructions or no obstructions. Not sure if it is the towers or the phone.
