While Samsung’s latest line of Galaxy S23 smartphones and Galaxy Watch 5 smartwatches just hit the market earlier this year, not all of us out there are technological hipsters looking to jump to the newest devices as soon as they arrive. There’s still some good life to get out of older generation devices like the Galaxy S22 or the Galaxy Watch 4 (the latter of which is barely two years old), and, in rare cases, you can find them extremely cheap.

Price-wise, their standard costs aren’t much cheaper than the latest generation, so it’s hard to justify purchasing the older models at full price when we see how frequently Galaxy S23 series deals come back around as we hurtle closer and closer to Amazon Prime Day. However, Woot’s Geek Week is featuring deals on the S22 series and Galaxy Watch 4 that take upwards of 60% off, making them an incredible value for the price. If you’ve got no problem using last year’s Galaxy phone or watch, then these are the deals for you.



Samsung Galaxy S22

Woot’s first major deal is on the Galaxy S22, Samsung’s most affordable 2022 release and entry-level flagship model of the S22 series. Sporting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and packed with 8GB of RAM, it’s an impressively powerful phone that still competes with the best of them today. Compared to the Galaxy S23, which features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, the difference in performance is not as big of a leap as you’d expect.

The battery life is a bit lackluster compared to the newer S23, however, but this phone still holds up against its successor in terms of value. It’s a great option for anyone looking to join the Galaxy ecosystem. It’s responsive, features the exact same camera setup as the latest model does, and even has the same 6.1-inch AMOLED 120Hz screen. For just $500, this is an absolute banger of a phone that punches well above its weight for the price.

Considering it’s just a year old, the Galaxy S22 is still a stellar phone to go with if you’re not quite ready to go with Samsung’s latest models. Even more so considering this deal, which takes over 40% off and drops the price down to just $500.

Samsung Galaxy S22+

For the exact same price as the Galaxy S22, you can actually go one step up and grab the Galaxy S22+. At no extra cost to you, you can upgrade to the mid-ranged S22, which features a 6.6-inch AMOLED 120Hz screen (which is the perfect middle-ground compared to the Galaxy S22 Ultra and its larger 6.8-inch screen and the S22’s 6.6-inch screen) and offers the same great performance as the S22. However, it features a slightly larger 4500mAh battery and 45W fast charging capabilities.

Regularly, we’d probably not recommend spending the extra cash for these upgrades. While they’re helpful, of course, the price difference usually isn’t worth it. However, since both the S22+ and S22 are the same price during Woot’s sale, there’s not much of a reason to skip out on them. If you were looking at the S22 as your next phone, skip it and go with the S22+ instead.

Offering an almost identical experience to the S22, albiet with an upgraded battery and 45W fast charging capabilities, it’s hard to justify the extra money for the mid-range Galaxy S22+. However, Woot’s taking 50% off this option and dropping it down to the exact same price as the S22, so you’re better off grabbing this model either way.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

The premium option of the S22 series, the Galaxy S22 Ultra, takes the best of the S22 and S22+ and packages it all with a larger 6.8-inch AMOLED screen, a higher capacity 5000mAh battery with 45W fast charging, and an upgraded set of cameras to help you capture some truly epic photos and video. It also comes with a convenient S-Pen, making it even more accessible and easier to use. It earns its normal $1,200 price tag, delivering a powerful phone that content creators around the world love.

But you don’t have to be an artist to experience just how great this phone is, especially with the price dropping to just $630 — less than the current cost of the Galaxy S23. We’d highly recommend spending the extra $130 to get the S22 Ultra over the S22 and S22+, as this is by far the best value of them all.
