Buy a refurbished Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra SIM-free with 85%+ battery health, 12-month warranty, 45-day returns and fast UK delivery.
The S22 Ultra holds a unique place in Samsung's story: the phone where two of the brand's most beloved lines quietly became one. The DNA of the old Galaxy Note, with its devoted S Pen following, folded into the Ultra flagship for the very first time. The result was something that felt both familiar and completely new, a large, commanding device with a built-in S Pen that finally had a proper home, a 108-megapixel camera system with 10x optical zoom, and a design so distinctive it barely needed a name badge.
Years on, it remains a genuinely special device. Every refurbished S22 Ultra we sell at The Big Phone Store is tested and graded in-house: data-wiped, battery checked, unlocked and covered by a 12-month warranty. A piece of Samsung history, bought with complete confidence.

A refurbished Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is professionally prepared before sale. A typical used Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra from a private seller may look cheaper, but it can leave you with unknown battery health, unclear device history and no useful warranty.

Yes. Refurbished is usually safer because the phone is tested, graded, data-wiped and sold with a warranty and returns process. A private used Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra may cost less upfront, but you often lose battery checks, support, history checks and a clear route back if something goes wrong.

Good: Best for the lowest price if visible wear does not bother you
“The S22 Ultra still feels premium because it brought the Note-style S Pen into the Galaxy S Ultra line. During testing, we pay close attention to S Pen response, camera lenses, screen quality and charging behaviour because these are the parts that make the Ultra experience feel complete.” - The Big Phone Store Refurbishment Team
