The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra is actually not yet officially available. With some pre-orders, the smartphone has already arrived.

After the market launch at the latest, it will have to be seen how many people are affected and whether Samsung might add a day-one patch. It is really necessary, as you will soon read in my review.
