FedEx delivered mine earlier today and PHEW!

My first impressions centered on how cold the phone was to the touch. After using Xiaomi phones with ceramic for so long, it was a refreshing feeling.

Phone just feels extra premium- as well it should.

The burgundy color is immaculate and screams sophistication.

Ordered too late for cases or charging pad, but I also got two pair of earbuds with the 250 of accessories offer.

I'm happy.

I'm curious, what are you all doing for wireless charging? I love the Belkin MagSafe I have, but I want to avoid putting one of those adapter rings on the S22 or the case of the S22.

The stock wallpapers are lacking.
That's disappointing. Although I'm almost always using a wallpaper from another application or Unsplash, it's sometimes nice to appreciate the stock wallpapers every once in a while.

Well I like the one I have which was the default that it came with. But there's not a whole lot to pick from. I usually grab a free one from their store. I used to do full themes but I'm not in the mood for that right now. I want to stick to default for a little bit, keep a light feel to it.

I’m looking forward to getting mine, but the date has not budged, still says March 18. When I originally ordered, it had said March 2nd. I hope it moves up some because they have fully charged my CC Feb 14th. Usually they don’t charge until it ships.

Got the s22 ultra in today. I don't feel this a good upgrade to my s21 Ultra. Also the boxy feel in the hand is worse. The s21U feels way better. Not feeling the upgrade. Anyone else see it the same way?

Mmm...your post seems bit rushed and rational. Can you show us the box or the phone or any proof of purchase?

At least use it for a week and try using all the new features then i can believe you.

You really think I'm making that up? Pretty lame.

It's definitely not a huge upgrade from the S21U but I am happy with it and already packed up my S21U to send to Samsung for trade in. I was always a Note fanatic. I love the built in S Pen and while I think the S series phones feel better in hand I like the boxy Note form factor for the slight increase in screen real estate. There's slight processing improvements and camera upgrades but nobody would say you're crazy for sticking with your S21U. Personal preference.

We all waiting for the proof ?
You can see from my pic above I have both devices and then some. It's definitely not a huge upgrade for someone who's not a fanatic. If I wasn't such a Note fan I'd likely return it. Super solid device but it's hard to say it's more than a marginal upgrade to the S21U . S21U definitely feels better in hand (subjective I know) and in my opinion it's the best looking phone ever built.
