Expecting much improved internals and efficiency even though it's the same shell. Will cost more than the predecessor.

"Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy”. Hehe.

The customized chip for galaxy might also facilitate the much needed optimization of camera processing algorithms on the latest galaxy!

Yeah, old wine in new bottle.

My analysis since S7.

S7 was an excellent phone
S8 - transition to Samsung Experience, overall good phone
S9- test phone for guinea pigs
s10 - awesome again (except battery)
S20 - Test phone
S21 - awesome
S22 - test phone- given avg chip performance
S23 - ?? hope to be awesome
S24 - test
s25 - Should be really good and bring in some innovations

Snapdragon 8 gen 2 will be manufactured by TSMC, so let's hope it is better than S22U.
If it provides better thermals and battery life than S22U, I will definitely consider upgrading.

What launch/prereserve offers can we expect with S23 ultra apart from vague wordings that Samsung already gave like 5k additional, early access, best exchange value etc? Any one knows if Samsung watch 5 coming for 2999? And any other exciting offers?

Exchange value of s22 ultra is just 50k including 8k bonus which when used we can't use 8k cashback credit card offer.. so exchange value is very bad.. I got 25K for my note 9 which was like 3 years old at the time of purchasing s22 ultra..
Cost is high, low exchange value and no cashback offer eligibility.. overall waste deal

Yeah, 50K exchange is ****. I got 20K for my 3.5 years old OP 6T with S22U last year. Looks like they are aware of the S22U issues and don't want to buy them back for hefty price.

 

[ragavbpl]

I think we can get better resale value of at least around 60 to 70k in resale market if they don't drop s22 ultra prices much after this launch of s23 ultra at 1.25 lakhs

 

[Virgo_Guy]

Insane pricing and unattractive offers...

 

[sunny1119]

Wow 50k buyback value for s22U is a joke

 

[abhisheak.bansal]

I am confused between getting battery replaced for my 3 year old S20 Plus or getting S23 Ultra? Any advice?
Also is anyone aware how to redeem pre-reserve pass benefits.

Quick impressions on the phone -

Samsung is using the same Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor from S21 and S22, that is the only bummer, everything else is a good upgrade. The screen looks more clear from up close compared to S22 Ultra. And 50 MP shots are fantastic. The bump in resolution is quite apparent. It takes a few seconds to save 50 MP files though. I just played with the phone for some time at a local retailer in Bangalore. They let me install the device info HW app (quick shared the apk from my phone) through which i checked the Fingerprint sensor. It is essentially the same one (QBT2608)

Still struggling with this vip pass sh*t! Only have the 2k coupon code in my email. No 5k coupon or voucher! Will preorder by midnight anyway.

I didn't got any 5k code? Did you received any? How did you use the 5k?

From what I understand it's the accessories you can on the app before clicking on the preorder button at the bottom
