November 22: Deal checked still live

I have been tracking this deal and can’t believe how low it’s dipped. Right now, one of the best camera phones, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra has crashed to just $349 at Best Buy. That's an $850 discount on the phone's usual retail price of $1,199.99, which is about as Black Friday as Black Friday can get.

Overview: This handset may not be the latest, but it still shines on its own as a fantastic camera phone option and is worthy of the premium powerhouse title we gave it in our review. It's a little on the large side, but the AMOLED display is beautiful with a very worthy Snapdragon chip. 

Key features: Network: Verizon|Dimensions: 163.3 x 77.9 x 8.9mm | Processor: Qualcomm SM8450 Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 (4 nm) | Cameras: 108 MP, f/1.8, 23mm (wide), 1/1.33" (main camera), 40 MP, f/2.2, 26mm (wide), 1/2.82" (selfie camera) | RAM: 8GB - 12GB | Storage: 128GB-1TB 

Release date: February 2022

Price history:  This  discount on the RRP is unprecedented. It’s going up and down during this Black Friday period, and this is the absolute lowest (it’s rebounding from this to $399/$499 - it’s still $499 on Verizon FYI – make sure you click through). Before this week, we've seen deals that cut the price to around the $699 mark for sale outright (rather than on contract), but rarely much lower than this.

Price check: Samsung: $1,199 

Review consensus: We gave the S22 Ultra 4.5 stars when we reviewed it, naming it the best camera phone of 2022. We loved the camera, plus the sharp and colourful display, and the included S-pen which is a great feature for creatives. TechRadar also loved it so much that it won their Phone of the Year Award in 2022.
