my issue with Samsung S22 and its ilk is, if you have two SIMs (like an eSIM and a physical SIM) you cannot separate which is for voice and text and which is for data. So disappointed in my S22 and S22+. My Motorlas and Pixel easily let you designate which SIM to use for voice and SMS and which different SIM to use for data.

Makes using a cheap plan with voice/sms only alongside a cheap data only eSIM (like Ubigi) impossibly difficult.

I wouldn't take the risk with the S22 variant. There is a lawsuit right now due to a boot looping and eventual death of the phone with the chips unsoldering themselves. I had one with the issue. If you search online, you can see how common it is with the S22 models. It seems like it is a matter of time with the device on when it'll happen to the phone.

You will not get anymore security upgrades on the s22 after February 2027

Community Reviews

This refurbished Galaxy S22+ is a capable older Android phone with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, solid everyday performance, and enough battery for nearly a full day in some cases. The comments also point to decent long term reliability, with some units still working well after years of use. The main concerns are battery wear, overheating, and occasional network or reboot issues, plus the phone is nearing the end of Samsung security support in February 2027. Cosmetic scuffs on the body have also shown up on refurb units, so it feels best suited to buyers who can live with age and tradeoffs.

  • Light phone users who want a capable Android for everyday apps, because the S22+ can still run fine and some units hold nearly a full day of battery life.

  • People who need a compact unlocked phone for basic use, because the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is still capable for most tasks.

  • Buyers comfortable with a used-looking refurb, because the body can show corner scuffs while the screen stays scratch-free and the phone still works fine.

That's why grammar and reading comprehension actually mean something when your only form of communication is text. I read their statement as them calling out all refurbished phones on eBay because they use replacement screens from a bad 3rd party, not that those parties are the only ones selling fakes. Refurbished and recertified are NOT the same thing. BB also sells products that are refurbished by third parties, as do a lot of other retailers who can source their products from a supplier or contractor. Only "recertified" and proprietary phrases like "Geek Squad Certified Refurbished" should carry connotations of quality repair work. Remain skeptical about all devices that are simply "refurbished" independent of seller.But someone else said they "almost" get a full day of battery out of theirs, and that makes it a pass for me based on the phone model itself. My Pixel Fold battery lasts ~3 days with moderate use. I just need a second phone to use for corporate authorization so I can put a custom OS on my Google phone.
The battery endurance rating for this phone is higher than the pixel fold, at least according to GSMArena.

The s22 series had the worst battery life ever new. My won't last through the day new. I'm a light phone user. My friend had same problem. It got fixed with s23. My s24 has awesome battery life.

Is this the model that overheats and has horrible battery life?

FYI 5G frequencies have changed quite a bit since this phone first came out. My wife has one of these and I have an S25 (both T-Mo). When travelling around, there have been so many times I have been able to get a signal but she hasn't. You really need to go to S25 to get the latest radio tech. S26 didn't introduce any differences in that area.

Yes, the s22 series was notorious for overheating and as a consequence, short battery life. There are plenty of complaints online. Here's a possible fix:

I wonder if the solder is being affected by the heat. The s22 series is notorious for overheating. See this

How's battery life/health?
Before you consider an S22, read all the complaints about overheating. This article stopped my from pulling the trigger. I'm not smart enough to attempt a fix.

Use ADB on your Android devices, 95% of people complaining about their hardware and their device is just bloatware and telemetry and all kinds of stuff going on. Samsung stuff comes with like 100 apps and background processes that you don't need, ever.

If this is a legit S22+ deal (assuming it is), I'm still using my S22+ almost 4 years now & still works GREAT. Battery is no longer the best, but that's likely due to years of use.

I'm still using my S20 FE 5G UW with 512GB Samsung Micro-SD to store all my important stuff, not trusting a cloud backup that reads all my personal files. I have a Samsung USB-c flash drive to backup all of it too, just in-case...nod
Battery still going strong, I only charge to 85% anyway.

Is their any 3rd party OS we can reflash the system with?

Well the main updates are newer versions of Android which people might want. And the other type of updates are security updates, theoretically for patching any known exploits that might pop up for a particular phone. Realistically it probably won't ever affect you.
