My Samsung S22 Ultra is the most expensive phone I have ever had. I bought it for my company to be able to run all the latest mobile games, make pics and videos, call and use it for getting to my suppliers. For once I wanted to have the latest thing so I wouldn't even need to think about upgrading for the next 3–4 years.

I have made the unforgettable mistake of buying the Exynos Samsung S22 Ultra version, and here I am, utterly miserable, hearing that I just should restart the phone again or something. Or do one of the other 20 workarounds I HAVE TRIED ALREADY. Yes, the accuracy is turned to be high, yes, I'm using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to make it better. Nothing works. My 7km diagnostic walk turns into a 40 km one, because the dot goes ALL OVER THE PLACE. And I can compare this bs live thanks to having a brilliant Garmin who has ZERO PROBLEMS with localising me, despite having no Wi-Fi nor Google accuracy services. It's madness. Just look at it:

This phone had more factory resets within the last years than all of my older phones combined. I used to have a nice Samsung S6 for years and I had trust in this company. To say that I'm disappointed, is to say nothing. I have already gone to the Samsung service point for the diagnostics of absolutely random connection drops. „Everything seems to be good”. That's great, dude, tell this to one of my contractors that I have failed to meet, cause my phone just couldn't connect to the network in the middle of the city after being connected non-stop for days.

For the first time in my life I feel genuinely scammed.

The cameras work beautifully, or at least worked until the last update, but that's about it. The reaction speed of the phone is worse than that of my old OnePlus 7T, the reactiveness of the touch screen feels off, as it misses my input regularly. It drops connection to the mobile network randomly, which I have already mentioned (tested in different places in two countries, so it's not a signal issue),  and the GPS... I have to keep carrying my old phone around, so I could get to places.

I have scheduled another pickup and repair but I already knwo what they'll tell me. Everything is A-okay, software problem.

The thing is, why should I care. I have paid almost a 1k euros for something that's as useful to me as a brick, because they've installed a crappy CPU in it. Fantastic.
