It's no secret that we really like the Samsung Galaxy S23 series — the S23 Ultra is the current premium pick in our list of the best Android phones you can get right now. But if you want Samsung's excellent hardware and top-notch software support in a more affordable package, you should really consider the Galaxy S22 series. These devices aren't a significant step-down from their S23 counterparts, but because they are the previous generation, they tend to see bigger and more frequent discounts. As evidence of that, we've put together a list of the best S22 deals currently available.
Best Galaxy S22 deals
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S22 is still a strong handheld, offering a compact yet powerful phone that performs with the best of them. It's also one of the few options here that is actually cheaper than its successor, the S23 model. However, some places aren't even selling this anymore so you'll want to make sure you find this one on sale if you're going to buy it. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and spend $100 more to get the Galaxy S23. Compared to the Galaxy S23, the S22 is slightly less powerful and isn't worth skipping out on the latest model for the price difference. However, If you're still dead set on the S22, then you have a few options to check out.

Samsung isn't currently offering any discounts on the S22, and inventory looks extremely depleted. If you must buy the handset here, look at trade-in options to get up to $525 credit, as well as Samsung's Offer Programs for extra savings.
Amazon

Inventory for the S22 is also fairly scarce at Amazon, but as of our latest update, you could still get the Phantom Black 256GB model at a nearly $200 discount, with the on-page 20% off coupon.
AT&T
Samsung Galaxy S22
The S22 appears to be completely out of stock at AT&T. We're leaving the link up for the moment in case the inventory status turns out to be temporary, and it may be worth checking in on from time to time, in case the phone returns with clearance pricing.
Verizon
Samsung Galaxy S22
Verizon is currently running a promo that will knock the S22 down to $0 per month, with a proper plan and financing. It looks like the carrier is offering similar (if not better) deals on other handsets, though, so it might be worth scoping those out first before making your final decision. Just follow the link below and tap 'Shop' to see the current specials.
Best Galaxy S22+ deals
The Samsung Galaxy S22+ offers the perfect middle ground between the premium S22 Ultra and the entry-level S22, taking a little bit of both to create a mid-level Galaxy that performs well in just about all areas. With a starting price of $1,000, however, it can be a bit difficult to justify buying one of these outright considering the latest option goes for the same price. So if you're after Samsung's middle child of the S22 series, then you'll definitely want to make sure you get it on sale. Thankfully, there are a few deals to check out on this model.

Samsung isn't offering an instant discount for the S22+, but there are still a few ways to save. You can knock off up to $50 if your job qualifies you for Samsung's Offer Programs, and score up to $525 of trade-in credit on your old device (depending on model and condition).
Amazon
Samsung Galaxy S22+
As of our latest update to this post, Amazon has the S22+ 256GB available in Pink Gold for just $770. Note that it is being sold by a third party seller, but they do have a 99% feedback rating and the phone is shipped by Amazon.
Best Buy
Samsung Galaxy S22+
Best Buy appears to be out of S22+ stock, in all colorways and storage options. That's at least what it is showing in our area, but given that inventory can vary by location, it's worth following the link below to check and see if there is any stock left near you. Some of the models are showing massive markdowns online, so if you can find one, you are likely to get a heck of a deal.
AT&T
Samsung Galaxy S22+
As of our latest update, the S22+ isn't in stock in any configuration at AT&T. The phone has been discontinued, so this isn't too surprising, but we'll leave this link up for now in case they happen to find one more pallet in the back of the warehouse.
Verizon
Samsung Galaxy S22+
Verizon is offering up to $600 off the S22+ with device trade-in, and a potential extra $200 off if you are switching from another carrier. But given some of the promotions we're seeing on newer handsets, and the fact that the S22+ is only available via express pickup at select stores, we suggest you look elsewhere for now.
Best Galaxy S22 Ultra deals
The cream of the crop of the last-gen Galaxy phones, the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is a portable powerhouse of a handheld. A huge 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, S-Pen stylus, powerful set of cameras, and much more all come together to deliver one of the best phones in years, and it has the price tag to prove it. Again, seeing as the current S23 Ultra clocks in at the same price as the S22 Ultra, you're better off waiting for this phone to either get a price drop or a seriously worthy trade-in offer if you're going to grab one.
Amazon
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Amazon right now has the Burgundy S22 Ultra 512GB on sale for $970. It's Amazon, so there's no telling how long this price will be around, but if you're okay with Burgundy, that's a solid $430 off the original price.
Best Buy
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Best Buy has the Phantom Black S22 Ultra, 128GB, on sale for $1080. This is not a good discount, by any means, but it was the only one showing in stock for us as of the latest update. As with the S22+, it's worth following the link below to check your local inventory. Again if you can find the phone, there are some great deals to be had.
AT&T
Verizon
Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
Verizon's website shows you can get the Galaxy S22 Ultra for just $10/month, with new line activation and a 36-month installment plan. This is actually a decent deal, but it's only available at select stores via Express Pickup.
