What's the connect between S22U battery draining too quickly & Samsung Unpacked S23 Ultra!!
S22U has started behaving pathetic...suddenly it requires frequent charge & does not even chasrge super fast...
Samsung way to coerce people to upgrade to new device every year??

You mean cancel? Sadly I can't risk that now as the red is OOS

I made a bigger blunder. I missed adding watch and buds combo in excitement and straight up booked the red one. Now the delivery dates have been shifted to March. I guess will have to settle for the cream color and cancel this red one for the freebies!

Manufacturers "planned obsole......" is a real thingy, but have no idea if recent updates messed up batterylife of S22U. Super fast works fine in mine but time taken to charge varies depending upon ambient temperature.

Having said this, I never had great batterylife with the S22U, never.

Sweet sour feeling though this year. Europe gets watch 5 pro and we get the old watch4 classic and buds 2 instead of pro. Looks like they're really clearing out old inventory. Even selling these things sealed might be tough if the market is flooded.
Only saving grace will be the red colour

yeah I would love a "ALL Red" S23 ultra, not just a black one with red back on it, I had a oneplus 6 Red edition and thing was beautiful or like the all red color of the iphones, where the the frame and everything is red.

I think the red has sides blacked out although during the Live event it felt like the sides were chrome/steel colour and closer to white. Not sure what I'm getting

Yeah I pre-ordered the green one, I had the S22 ultra in green, the green is a different shade on the s23 ultra, but the rest of the colors didn`t stand out for me. I`ll have thin fit aramid case on it anyways.

I can confirm after the cancelation of your orders vip pass Still works and additional 5k can be avail by adding 5k worth product. now if you are buying in corporate they added Adld also free.

But delivery will be after @anil84 which I can't accept. Hence will have to live with losing the 5k offer

Is the pre-order offer(2K Welcome offer) valid only till today midnight? Or the timer is just a bait?

that is what they mentioned need to check how it works from 4-feb onwards

Knowing samsung over the years when preorder freebies have been available well until July, I'd say it will most likely be.
What might go away after midnight is the 5k offer. But then again this year is perhaps the weakest after the S4 and then S9 so who knows

Anyone facing issue while getting the 8k discount at payment page for EMI? My cart value doesn't change when I enter eligible bank cards..

Are you doing upgrade from an existing Samsung phone? If yes then it's either the 8k bonus or 8k cashback.

Yes, but as soon the EMI option is selected. They remove the additional exchange value.. and then don't add the bank offer

Until last year it was instant cashback. Dunno know if something's changed this year as the TnC clearly mention to "retain charge slip for 90 days" or something along those lines.

Welcome offer is of no use. One should use refferal code for 5k extra off. Welcome voucher don't combine with refferal code.

You mean the welcome voucher is unusable, zero value?
How do I use the referral code? I don't have one and nor do I know if anyone who could offer me the referral code.
