The cheaper open box units are supposed to look “brand new” and include all original parts and accessories in their packaging, shipping in just two days across the nation if you place your online order right now. The slightly costlier refurbs, meanwhile, are “verified to work properly” after having been “repaired and/or restored to like-new state”, also including all “essential parts and accessories” but needing a little more time to arrive on your doorstep, presumably due to higher demand and/or lower inventory.
Whichever of these two offers you’ll end up opting for, you’ll obviously get just 128 gigs of internal storage space (and no microSD support), which is certainly a tad inconvenient but probably not a major deal breaker at new record low prices.
Keep in mind that the S22 Ultra’s Best Buy product webpage will initially show you brand-new pricing only, with access to these deals granted by clicking on the “open box” button above the “activate today” and “activate later” options.
