my s22 ultra got slow and sluggish after 1 year of usage. why? is there a fix?

tbh i don't think if i can ever stay loyal to samsung again. how'd they expect us to stay loyal if things like this happen even to their flagship phones. i bought this flagship phone 2 years ago thinking this will be a phone that doesn't get slow over time. even phones like iphone 11 still work fast and smooth asf. or maybe i'm wrong and i got scammed and bought a refurbished model? has anyone else experienced the same thing?
my software is updated to the latest version, cache partition is wiped. all playstore/galaxy store apps are also updated. mine is snapdragon model
