Prices move; these were read on 2026-08-21. Used and trade-in figures are CeX's own, for an unlocked handset at this device's base storage. CeX prices each colour separately, so a grade shows as the range across them. We hold no stock and take no commission.

endoflife.date records OS EOL as 2027-02-25 and security support as 2026-02-25 for Galaxy S22. Samsung's UK launch article stated the series would be supported by up to four generations of Android OS upgrades. These dates are Samsung's published window as recorded by endoflife.date, not a prediction of when updates will actually stop.
