Good phone but after sometime of use I almost got green line and the back cover of the phone loosened up prolly cause of overheat. The unit was lady owned and used for only social media and camera. This also happened in S21 the backcover also loosene...
Peak samsung phone. If I had to choose today, I would take Samsung Note Ultra over any S Ultra series. Even, if it's discontinued
