General [INDIA] Galaxy S23 Ultra pre-order, offers etc. discussion thread.

[linom]

The prices are insane given its manufactured in India & I'm getting 55k for my s22U-512Gigs, which is pathetic. Except for camera and possibly battery backup, it's a minor upgrade from S22U. It's also skimped the sat connectivity which I guess might be available on S24 besides hardware improvements. I think I'm going to give this year a pass unless I get some real good deal some months down the line.

Insane pricing and unattractive offers...

You might want to check with local retailers in a few weeks. Anyway, I always have doubts on the initial batches as they could have some QC issues.

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

Yes, indeed.

So, for anyone yet to use the vip pass :

1. Add your s23 series smartphone to cart on samsung shop app or samsung.com
2. Add preorder offer items, if any
3. Add any one of the accessories or items (mentioned in annexure A of the pdf available on samsung website)
4. Add coupon code by scrolling to bottom of your cart and selecting promo code option (vip pass coupon code you have in your email)
5. Then confirm address, payment etc.
Done

I just pre-ordered the s23 ultra (512gb black) and got the leather case for free!
I went for the hdfc 8k cashback and watch+buds! Expecting smart club points in coming days (mentioned in the preorder benifits).
Could have been easier through normal samsung portal than the corporate portal, which I used (for pre reserve pass) and lost 2k additional welcome voucher.

Very likely. You must wait if you can. I couldn't!

you can recover that 5k by re order and apply referral code instead. same 5k will be applied and your friend also get 1500 so 6500 total I done the same

This was my first online preorder experience from samsung shop app - found it more confusing than filling up a passport application without any help / broker!

I got the leather case free along with my preorder as a part of additional (upto) 5k voucher for pre reserve vip pass holders. But I missed on the 2k discount (on samsung shop). Anyway, it shows S23 ultra delivery by Feb 21 for me!

 

[Virgo_Guy]

Found it more confusing than filling up a passport application without any help / broker!

100% agreed. Even experts will get confused + several eligible ADD-ON products are not listed in the underlying list using S. Shop app.
