I returned mine the day it arrived, although I'm now having the joy of chasing Samsung because they've got no record of it arriving back with them

Good luck I'm still chasing a refund from the 09/02/22 for the order they cancelled

I bought it using one of the finance options so fingers crossed if they are that useless I can ask them to step inGood luck I'm still chasing a refund from the 09/02/22 for the order they cancelled
So did I been in contact with finance company who said we approved you fine but Samsung said I broke their T&C's
and cancelled my order (quite few on Sammy forums had same happen even when buying out right). I have finally got a reference number on Friday after 2 weeks of trying to get 1 to approve my complaint and them acknowledge I have not received my deposit refund.

Why are they all returning them?

Today I gave it a proper work out. I fully charged it this morning and then there was a firmware update which I applied. I travelled on public transport a few times and listened to my music and also played some games for a good hour and a half. I have sent a few texts and had a conversation on the phone. I have also used it for web browsing and checking an amazon delivery. I wrote a shopping list with the S pen after realising I had no paper, then realising I had a notepad built into my phone. I took a number of photos of the cats, using the zoom functionality, I took some photos of a load of birds in a tree. All in all a fairly heavy use for me and if I had been using the S20U, the battery would have died. I still have 34% left. I am quite happy with that.
Without saying how much screen on time you had, its impossible to say whether 34% is good or bad.
Looking on Android forums it seems that some of the people who pre ordered exclusive colours across the pond are receiving emails from Samsung saying their order is delayed with no alternative shipment dates.
Fingers crossed over here eh.

Looking around the thread concensus is that it's a good phone but not quite worth the price tag, which is understandable when RRP is £100 more than iPhone 13 Pro Max. You do get better pre-order bonuses but still a big wedge to pay even after discounts.
Think I'll just try and nab myself an S21 Ultra, already seen them go under £600 on eBay.

Returned mine. Performance was dire.
Picked up a pixel 6 pro 256gb. Performance wise beats the s22 ultra by miles. Silky smooth

Returned mine as tried to use it but battery life dire. The phone is laggy and keeps glitching. Have now switched to iPhone 13 pro so smooth and works.
Good to hear some people aren't having issues, not got mine yet but all the returns making me worried lol
But I am upgrading from a Xperia 5
Same battery (life) as 2y old N20U is surely a letdown?

Having moved to an iPhone 13 Pro Max I’ve had four hours screen time and I’m still on 67%. On the S22 Ultra I reckon I’d be down to around 30 percent. Glad I returned mine.
Not while it's learning my usage add to the fact I've been using the phone more testing camera and it's features
And iphone battery is 9 day less than 22yr old nokia 3310 ...surely a letdown?
Daft argument.
If it's enough for what you need it to do, then that's all that matters and any comparisons are irrelevant.
Plenty of chinese phones last 2-3 days with massive batteries, don't see many people around with them are we.
I think the apple watch is a let down as well being charged daily when my garmin has 15 day battery.
Just because there is a product on the market that has something better, it doesn't make all the other products bad.
