Sell or trade in your Galaxy S22 Ultra in Vienna
The Galaxy S22 Ultra brought the S-Pen into the S model and is regarded by many as the best Samsung of its time. That reputation keeps the second-hand price high. If you hand it in, you benefit from a correspondingly strong purchase offer.
Galaxy S22 Ultra: trade-in value by condition
The scale applies to the S22 Ultra with 128 GB and the S Pen inserted. We set the final amount after the test in Vienna.
| Very good, well cared for | up to 215 EUR |
| Good, light signs of use | around 170 EUR |
| Acceptable, visibly used | around 115 EUR |
| Faulty, never opened | individual |
A well-kept Galaxy S22 Ultra brings up to 215 EUR with us with 128 GB, up to 240 EUR with 256 GB, up to 260 EUR with 512 GB and up to 340 EUR with 1 TB. With light marks it is around 170 EUR, visibly used around 115 EUR. Two things push the price of the S22 Ultra down in particular: a missing or broken S Pen and the curved display edges, where even small knocks leave cracks. A phone with its pen and undamaged edges sits clearly at the top.
S Pen, curved display edges, zoom cameras, battery and storage size decide the price. In our buyback it still holds more resale value than a regular Galaxy S23, by 40 EUR.
S22 Ultra with a crack, a green line or no pen
On the S22 Ultra we often see cracks on the curved edge or a green line across the picture. We buy such phones too if they were never opened. A faulty S22 Ultra brings about 30 percent of the top value, so from 65 EUR. If only the S Pen is missing, that is not a defect, but the value drops a little. We carry out the repair ourselves afterwards.
The first S model with a built-in S Pen
With the S22 Ultra, Samsung brought the S Pen from the Note line into the S series in 2022, with its own slot in the housing. Add a 6.8-inch display with curved edges, a 108 MP main camera and two telephoto cameras up to tenfold zoom. Second-hand it is therefore worth clearly more than the Galaxy S22+. Its successor, the Galaxy S23 Ultra, brings up to 270 EUR.
Free shipping, even for the big Ultra
We buy the S22 Ultra across Austria by post. You get the insured label free by email and drop the parcel at the post office. Put the S Pen into its slot first so it does not get lost on the way. We pay about 48 hours after the inspection via PayPal or bank transfer; there is no cash. More in the trade-in terms.
Releasing the S22 Ultra: how it works
First save your notes from Samsung Notes, which were often written with the S Pen, for example via your Samsung account or Smart Switch. Then remove the Samsung and Google accounts under Settings › Accounts and backup and reset the S22 Ultra to factory settings. You do the wiping yourself; we only buy reset devices.

What if the S Pen of the Galaxy S22 Ultra is missing?
We still buy it, but the value is a little lower because we have to source a replacement pen. Mention the missing pen in your request and there will be no surprise at the inspection.
How do you test the zoom cameras on the Galaxy S22 Ultra?
We take photos at every zoom level and check that each camera focuses. If the glass over a lens is cracked, that counts as a partial defect.
How important is the battery on the Galaxy S22 Ultra?
The 5,000 mAh battery usually still holds up well. Normal wear costs little; a swollen battery makes the S22 Ultra a faulty device.
Is sending in my Galaxy S22 Ultra free?
Yes, from all of Austria. You receive an insured label by email.
How much does it cost to get my Galaxy S22 Ultra back?
10 EUR return shipping if you decline our inspected offer. Sending it to us is free.
How do I reset the Galaxy S22 Ultra properly?
First remove the Samsung and Google accounts under Settings › Accounts and backup, then reset under General management › Reset.
How fast do you pay for a Galaxy S22 Ultra?
About 48 hours after the inspection, via PayPal or bank transfer. There is no cash payment.
Is the Samsung trade-in worth it for a Galaxy S22 Ultra?
Only if you are buying a new promotional device in the Samsung online shop anyway, because without a new purchase the Samsung trade-in pays nothing. For cracked glass or display you get half of the trade-in bonus there. With us you sell the S22 Ultra without a new phone.
Does the box have to be included with the Galaxy S22 Ultra?
No. The S Pen matters most. The original box and original cable add a small bonus in the calculator.
Is a Galaxy S22 Ultra worth more than a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra?
We do not currently buy the Note 20 Ultra. For the S22 Ultra we pay up to 215 EUR with 128 GB because it is younger and gets updates for longer.
Can I bring my Galaxy S22 Ultra to you in Vienna?
No, trade-ins go by post only. With the free label the way to the post office is usually shorter than any other.
